What makes a guy look "tough"

[Wayne]

You can't ALWAYS go by looks. I've seem some guys who walk around and look pretty dangerous to mess with (not because of their size, because of their body language as has been described), but when in a fight, they got their ass kicked. And yet I've seen people that would look away almost instantly at eye contact, and looked really shy and nervous (sort of like Dolph Lungred in the Rocky movies), but could tear some ass up in a physical confrontation. (also like Dolph Lungred )

A few things that make you look tough:

-Don't hunch over, stand up straight

-Don't stare down at the ground all the time, look up and straight ahead

-Not seeming to care or be worried about anything

Well there's a stark difference between looking and being. Actual tough guys might have the tendency to look unaffecting, preferring to avoid the fight considering he may well never know what the other guy is capable of. And looking 'weaker' might also make the other guy approach with his guard down and WHAM it's over in a second.

Im the kind of guy who doesnt want to fight and just try to be nice....which is really good coz when i get angry people usually get shit scared coz im so calm all the time. I havent had to fight anyone yet they usually just back down and apologise but in saying that i dont usually have many confrentations. Best way to be i reckon.
