Lisa Simpson figured this out, didn't she? A pheremone that we geeks exude that bullies are sensitive to. IIRC, she named it "Poindextrose."

Seriously, there are jerks out there in the world, and they seem to have a sixth (sick?) sense of who the easy prey are. Best you can do is learn not to give the signals of easy prey.
