Some people are less likely to hurt you or take advantage of you because of it and they'll even do nice things for you. People tend to want to protect people who seem younger and more innocent out of pity.


I think that works either way and depends on how nice the person is or not.

I find that most people are pretty nice if you give them a chance. I think the reason most people act mean is out of feeling defensive because they are never sure if they can trust the person in front of them or not but once they realize you aren't being a threat to them they'll warm up to you.
