I usually walk around with the tip of my cock showing out of my pants.....who's gonna fuck with a guy who's cock is showing.

Which is also why I like to wear my pants around my knees with my ass crack and dirty underwear skidmarks showing. And it really turns on my friends from jail, too, and shows them how tough I am.

Best way to look tough is to not try to. The harder you try to look tough, the less tough you are, because you're covering up who you really are just to impress people who aren't worth impressing. You're giving those people power over you rather than exerting power over yourself. Stop caring about what stupid people think and you'll double your toughness overnight.

Shoulders of doom.

(No, really. I have naturally broad shoulders and no neck. I also have very thick legs and huge calves. If I didn't have gut, I'd look like the illegitimate offspring of a mack truck and a battering ram.)

I'm 6'8 and my resting face apparently comes off as 'disgruntled.'

That generally gets the job done.

Let's ask Paul Giamatti how he pulls off this amazing feat:

Let's see... Tattoos, gun, track suit and lots of scowling.

Tapout or a Sons of Anarchy shirt.

LOL! I was at a beach party last summer and this woman was wearing a Sons of Anarchy shirt (she was hot too) and some Harley douche was giving her a hard time about it. He was all angry because of a fucking TV show. Idiot. I just shook my head and laughed.

Are you my long lost brother?

I used to have a guy at the office who called me "no neck man" since I do not posess a neck.

My shoulders are big too, probably since I am a fat guy who used to swim a LOT and lift a good amount.

I don't try to look tough, but when I'm in the city, or iffy areas, I keep my posture better, and look alert. I also wear my "don't fuck with me face". I've had beggars start to approach, and turn away after looking me over :^D
