I dont think you are scary. From what I know of you, you're a pretty damn nice guy...great trader too.
I do think iwearnosox needs a solid punch in the face.
 

On first glance (please don't take this as an offensive comment) you look to me like a street-tough gangster-type guy. That's not to say you're not a very nice person, but if I saw you on the street, that's what I'd think about you, based on your appearance.

And it doesn't help that you have a short neck. (Or is it a deformity? :eek:) Other than that, you actually have a cute face.

How tall are you? Oops! I just reread. You're 5' 11". Not bad. Maybe they think that you're too tall for an Asian guy? Do you have a scary voice? I can't guess their minds. LOL! :D

stop hitting on him

edit: you look great man, way better than the average engineer :beer:

especially in engineering seem to be intimidated and/or scared by the way i look on first impression

there's your problem...you're wayyy too good looking compared to the average engineer.

maybe if you majoring in sex ed you'd be less intimidating.

Well, you yourself looks OK, I think. But there's always a room for improvement. First, don't smile as much as others recommend. Then, get some different clothes. You'd like to change your clothing style to something more classic. Like wearing leather boots instead of running shoes, a dark suit and no tattoos please (if you don't already have them, of course). Then I'm pretty sure you'll be a handsome guy in other people's eyes. It's not only how you look... If a man has got tattoos all over his body, wears sportswear, is shaved to skin it will cause people to be scared no matter what his face is like.

Honestly, I suppose you could look "scary" if you were dressed up in baggy jeans, a big oversized sweatshirt, etc.
Although you don't look intimidating in that picture.

I guess i'd say, keep the smiles. Grow the hair out a tad. I dunno. Don't wear baggy jeans and an oversized sweatshirt at the same time?

This is coming from someone who doesn't know what he's talking about by the way.

You're like the Chinese Antonio Banderas. Maybe the ladies are all intimidated by your good looks. They think that you must be out of their league, so they stay away to avoid disssapointment.

Longer hair. :) Posture might be something to look at too (can't tell from the picture) - don't slump or that might look "thuggish" with your build, and don't look all uptight.

You look like a typical SoCal asian guy. Maybe the people that are afraid of you are FOB's. That's the way it was at my school.

And stop slouching man, haha I have the same problem (I'm 6-1).

Who cares? You're "successful" and that's all that matters. Or are you trying to go the complete way to conformity with the wife and two kids in a house in the suburbs?

If I were you I'd say the hell with girls. "They're only good for heartache and disappointment."

You know Hans, you might want to consider some cosmetic surgery. If you wanted to you could change to the 'round eyes' look. You have a pronounced chin than makes you look tough, which is good. Girls like the macho thing. Just keep your eyes as open as wide as possible and walk with a spring in your step that way people think your happy. I do it every once in a while people want to talk to me. :sun:
