Well… I look like an extra from Sons of Anarchy, or maybe Vikings…. Sometimes my appearance makes me sad, because of the reactions I get. I walked by a woman and her daughter one day, and the little girl said to her mother “that’s a scary man Mommy,” and the Mom said, yes, stay away from him.” Most dogs are afraid of me at first,until I pet them. It’s not a look I’m “going for,” but it’s what I’ve grown into.
@Cruiser . From what I’ve seen from your avatar pics, you look like a “normal” man. Sometimes I wish I just looked normal too. I can’t judge much from a photo though.
When I’m on the job ,I look at people’s shoes, hands, any tattoos, bulges in clothing, which hand is their watch on, is there a visible knife, do they make eye contact, are pupils dilated, do they have a visible limp, what is their current mindset, if it’s a man how clean shaved or style of facial hair, what is their posture/body language etc.
These things tell me a lot about a person. I used to see people as just people off the clock, but as time goes by, I have started this type of judgement even when out with friends….
I hope this response is the type of contribution you are asking for… The above responses were a little confusing to me.
