[QUOTE="nofearfactor, post: 2694376, member: 1535"] Yess. This is mainly why I have adopted what I call the 'hoodlum' or prison issue look in my daily dress for many years now. I am definitely more financially stable than how I come off on outward appearances, but that is so deliberate. I learned how to 'dress down' to avoid being a victim back when I first moved to Oakland CA in the late 80s while going to school in San Francisco but couldnt afford to live 'over' there at the time. I learned to wear the same clothes I saw most thugs wearing and find you can basically just fit right in. It is strategic and it does work, and in this crazy world we live in every edge you gain and can master against being victimized is a small victory in itself.
