I normally don't care what others may think, but if it bothers you I would try a different pair of sunglasses. I don't think the baldness is intimidating, though.
As other folks have pointed out there's probably a cultural factor to consider too. Back in Italy I used to get a lot of wary if not outright hostile reactions, if anything because Italians can be very conservative and narrow-minded when it comes to appearances. Up to just a few years ago you really didn't see many young bald/sly guys around there and even though I used to be as thin as I rake I've got my fair share of funny looks, people edging away from me, being called a skinhead and so on. Never had this kind of grief in England, but then again the bald look is way more common here.Worst I can say is that, having beefed up a bit since I moved to London, I've been mistaken for a bouncer / security guard a couple of times
the stache is still a work in progress and filling in slowly, we'll see what kind of reactions it'll get me in a few weeks... already had a colleague asking if I was planning to become a Bronson impersonator http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1172570/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
Ahah thanks Switch, the stache is still a work in progress and filling in slowly, we'll see what kind of reactions it'll get me in a few weeks... already had a colleague asking if I was planning to become a Bronson impersonator http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1172570/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Definitely take a trip to Italy if you ever get the chance... it's a pretty messed-up country in many ways but it IS beautiful, no mistake (I can't comment about the food cause of course I'm kind of biased there).This is where I grew up by the way, a bit off the tourist track and well worth a visit... kind of place where a sly head is sure to get more than its share of odd looks though
