They probably look at you like that because they know you can kick there butts, so they give you the stare, to let you know that if you come in fighting, they are not going to back down, even if you do want to fight and they lose.. . Either that, or you are reading it all wrong. Why don't you find out their names and when you see them say hello. That way they won't be worried about you, and won't feel the need to try and stare you down....

Don't pay attention to them! They're probably jealous of you!

I think you are just paranoid. I'm 5'2 and 110lb's and i would not just stare at someone your size like i wanted to fight. Not to sound rude, but maybe you think you have something to prove by fighting which is not always cool. And maybe those people are just jealous.

I was thinking they're probably staring at you either because of the look on your face and the aura of "I'm a big handsome muscle man don't mess with me", they might be idiots not worth a second thought, or they might think you're hot and are picturing you with your shirt off.
