Aggressive facial features

Sgt Hartman

Do you ever look at someone walking towards you and think to yourself "He/She looks pretty aggressive, I don't want to draw their attention to me". Basically just by looking at their facial features and expression you just know this person is bad news. I believe some people just have this "look" about them. Oftentimes with freckled, prominent facial features and a perpetual scowl on their face. I saw one guy walking towards me on the path last week as I was walking my dog. This guy had a pale freckled complexion and a squashed looking face with an angry expression. He looked like someone you would rather avoid. The fact that he had a big bloated pitbull didn't help either.

I just wonder is it a genetic/environmental thing. You just know by looking at certain people and their faces that this person is pretty rough.

They probably look aggressive as they're wondering why some weirdo keeps staring at them.

You could measure their skulls to see if they are different to the normal

There is probably something in it, as evolutionary we would be attuned to danger from out ancestors who lived in much more dangerous times.

She looks like a Dublin whackerette

Oh I judge people coming toward me on the pavement all the time by their facial characteristics. Just the other day 2 young people were coming toward me and I got out of their trajectory before they got close. Turns out I was right as when they directly passed me one of them let out a squeal and jumped on the road in a maniacal manner.

Always judge a book by it's cover is my moto.

A neighbour, who if you’d see him you might think he’d cut your ears off with a saw and feed them to his pet duck. I thought this for years until a couple of chance meetings and then he was quite friendly and polite.

In the case of your average criminal scrote however, quite a lot of the time you would know that they're a scrote just by looking at their facial features. They just have this feral, aggressive "look" about them.

I actually went through a spell in my late 20s when people would see me out in pubs or clubs & say to me cheer up mate & or why you so angry looking ,

It turned out i needed glasses & was walking around squinting at everyone but it made me look angry & aggressive ,Once i got contact it solved the issue ,

Reopened. My mistake, I misjudged the closure.

If Ronaldo was Irish he would probably be mistaken for a traveller. There were some traveller kids in my school in the 90s who resembled younger Ronaldo.
