What makes a guy look "tough"

[:::PSL:::]

Tribal Tatoos, a bad attitude, and the emotional intelligence of a preschooler...basically anything you see on The Ultimate Fighter....those guys are tough

Agreed. Prime Royce Gracie prolly the toughest. UFC didn't have weight classes back then and not much rules. And he kept winning against opponents way bigger than him.

....I was being sarcastic....the guys from The Ultimate Fighter are ridiculous

Confidence can sometimes scare the shit out of people,But It can also get you through some hairy situations.Staying calm,cool and collected while all around you are loosing there mind. You can not bluff confidence,You have to Isolate & squash your inner fears and carry yourself proud and genuinly believe.If you come off meek and weak...you will be just another pebble in the road.

It can be a catch 22.You can alienate people if you come off like a arrogant prick,but a true refined confidence can be a great defense.

I didn't mean to insult Royce....just the douches from The Ultimate Fighter.

Guys that are skilled in matrial arts and don't try to use it to bully people or try and cover up psychological and emotional problems have an aura of calmness and they don't aim to cause trouble only to end it and that is cool.

I'm talking about one particular guy in UFC though, which is Royce Gracie. He is not a poser, and they didn't really sugarcoat his name unlike most of today's MMA fighters.

Gracie look like an average joe. He's not really big and muscular but he kick ass back in his era.

Make eye contact with everyone.

Greet everyone you pass but without a smile.

Always keep one hand in your coat pocket.

If someone says something funny, don't laugh or smile just say, "that's funny."

NEVER EVER ask for a receipt or stop to pick up change off the floor!

Booze you know the meaning behind that tat?

[boozeboxer]

Isn't that when you kill someone? I don't know. I thought it was a hispanic thing? Because if it is. You would look tough to me.

It's a jail/thug/gang thing.
You got it right it means you've killed someone.

How about Tex Cobb in Raising Arizona ?

True, working the doors in London,. This guy comes up to the head doorman one tuff looking bastard, there was something about the guy wiry good posture 6ft 2ins about 180lbs who asked to see the manager. They had given him the wrong change and he was very polite about it. The doorman said this is the manager, and with that hit him with his best right hand. The guy never moved and the doorman shit himself, the guy said theres no need to get violent. With that me standing 10ft away said come with me mate and took him to see the manager. Talking to him he was Polish on Holiday and was Polish Lightheavy Champion the whole thing made me smile at the time
