Why do bald people look so tough?
« on: October 31, 2014, 02:40:20 PM »
I am wondering why bald people look tough. The bald head has a psychological effect that makes you think bald is tough.

Glad to see you are still around, sir.
Your inbox is full, so no one can respond to your PM's.

I never have thought my smooth head made me look tough.
I have a feeling the perception is caused by the solid look of the scalp rather than the softer look of hair. (Like a carpetted floor vs a tile floor.)

Is your statement based on your personal experience with how you are treated?
Or is this a personal observation of other guys?

Here's my "tough guy" photo. Not very convincing.

You look about as menacing as Wilfred Brimley, who is, in fact, just curmudgeonly.  :*))

Maybe because police,military,mma fighters,criminals,and athletes shave their heads.I do knowI'm not one ounce tougher than when I did not shave.  *!d

Hahaha.  I happen to be one of those people who think it gives people a much tougher look.  It's hard to tell with you guys obviously because you don't have a hair photo beforehand but there is something hardcore about the look.

I love it though.

Maybe a bit harder with the goatee than not too.
