Reply #38: Ridiculous, isn't it?

He looks the most relaxed and real of any of the seven, and much moreso than Junior. He even lets himself laugh with a cheery clunkiness and not a whiff of fakery. I totally dispute this line of reasoning; his relaxation is one of the things that wowed me when I first saw him: this guy feels very comfortable in his own skin, and it shows. He laughs heartily when things are funny, and his odd crooked smile lights him up. His standard facial set is neutral, so it's not as if he has a cheesy false smile as his default.

As for that insincere hair, that's just unkempt thinking. He's got a standard parted-on-the-side male haircut--a tad longish--and with that kind of hair, it's an unobtrusive and natural style. (His hair's thick, but it's very fine and straight.)

He literally exudes the power of someone who's well-centered, warm and thoroughly focused. Many who are suspicious of those who have good presentation skills or who are too attractive may often miss the fact that some people like that really are the real item. FDR had panache and elan, and he took the heat for it too, but he was for real.

Thanks for piping up for a nice thread, I just got home.

(And, yes, the flight was fine and the short guys had a great time, too.)
