Misconceptions

[Smoothy]

Its not what folk wear but the interact with people with kindness and respect . You get soem right AHs in a suit but gentleman wearing braces jeans and boots . I m not afrad of anyone , treat all beings with respect and respect will be returned

Kindness and respect.

The golden rule has always worked to my benefit.

I often get this too, I'm 6ft and heavily tattooed... I'm also a pacifist and a friendly guy, but unfortunately preconceptions are harder to kill than a phoenix, they just keep flaring up again.

I make sure to carry my extinguisher full of " I don't give a f**k", and those flare ups are a thing of the past.

I never an concerned about what people think about my sly look. If they are intimidated or think I am a thug or Nazi, that is their problem. I treat all people with respect and the way I would like to be treated...unless the disrespect me and then I can get a little nasty. If you are polite and nice to folks, they will see you are not a bad person. Funny how first impressions are usually so wrong. I love metal music and go to metal concerts where people can look very intimidating...these people are some of the nicest folks you will ever meet. So I guess what I am trying to say is folks shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

Carry your self well, polite and smile, this will help in how people react to you. Be proud of being sly!

Agreed, and agreed. First Impressions are usually misconceptions. Take Ted Bundy... charming charismatic guy, yet serial killer on the side..

I'm totally at peace, and one with my smooth head.

People may say and judge me ,  LOL but over many years on this earth I walk tall, such as a good friend taught me to do Buford Pusser, Sheriff in Tenn. !  He wore a wig in the end after being shot up, wife killed.  Pull it up on the net..  Buford and I ate Catfish and Hushpuppies, and also did have a few , but it was in a dry county.  His mother Helen and I wrote back and forth. His father Carl meet him one time.  Longtime ago !  Back in those days , they still wore rugs as they do today.  He was a Marine, a prof. wrestler and tough as nails.  Unh said !
