I'm tall but thin, so I don't think anyone finds me any more threatening now that I'm smooth!

If they don't cringe when I walk into the room, it's clear something's not quite right with my prepping for public presentation that day.

I guess I can count staring down a guy on New Year's Eve who for a few minutes seemed intent on getting into a fight with me. My wife says his attitude visibly changed when I took off my ski cap. All I had done was to ask him to stop setting off fireworks in front of my house.
The addition of the beard has stopped my daughter's friends and some random people I pass at the store from calling me "Heisenberg" or "Walter White" whenever I wear my glasses.

Oh yeah totally! I'm always on late night trains around Melbourne and it makes me laugh when people give me a wide berth! But I'm actually really nice... It's just a haircut!

SWvic: Sorry, but I can't see how people could find your appearance intimidating. You look like a poster boy for "niceness". From your photo you look to me like "the cat that swallowed the canary" and that you are about .5 seconds from breaking out into a big smile and laughter!

I'll occasionally get that cautious reaction from sone people I'm around 5' 11" and 215 not the biggest guy around. I tend to notice a very large difference in how people react to me dependant on what I am wearing, if I'm wearing a t-shirt and jeans and sunglasses people seem a tad more hesitant than when I'm wearing a nice button down shirt or a suit. But to be fair I do kinda look like I've got a scowl usually even though I'm quite friendly. I don't think I'm too intimidating as I have had to walk with a cane for the last couple of years.

I will also say that I have noticed far more people smiling at me now with my head shaved than I did when I had a full head of hair.

A couple of years ago we had security issues in México. Once I was driving my car and felt somebody was looking at me so I turn head and the driver looks alarmed and change lane.

You know the clothes you wear really do make a difference. When I'm in full biker gear, people are a little more cautious to approach. When I'm dressed up or have on nicer clothes, they're not as apprehensive. Like agentfortyseven, I do tend to look like I have a scowl on my face so that probably doesn't help the situation any either.
A friend at work told me once that if she didn't know me and came across me dressed in full biker gear she'd be terrified! Hahaha! Another time I walked into another friend's high end hair salon, again in full biker gear with sunglasses on, and just stood there by the door waiting for my friend so I could take her to lunch. I found out later on that I scared the hell out of the receptionist. She didn't know who I was or what I was gonna do 'cause I was just standing there. I guess my posture seemed threatening. Go figure!
