You're exactly right brother. My wife and I ended up on the wrong side of town in Chicago once very late at night, and she got pretty scared. I told her to keep her cool and and don't act frightened. She stayed close to me and I walked confident as fuck. We never had a single problem. As a matter of fact some dude yelled "looking swoll as fuck bro" as we were walking by. The potential was very high for things to go bad that night, but looking itimidating and keeping confidence might have been the difference maker on not making the paper that night. Who knows
