My mask makes me look angry!

[skippyscuba]

This is a very weird thing, but I've noticed that in pictures of me diving, I always look very angry.
You might be able to see in my avatar (here's the original).

Does anyone else get anything like this? What expression does your mask give you? :tongue:

How should I know? And so far I do not care, as I do not seem to be frightening the fish.

Like my cats, they seem to be oblivious to facial expressions (well there was that one time at Halloween when the batman ears made their tails puff up...the cats, not the fish)

I carry a camera on most dives, but I do not take pictures of my self. I am not that interesting. So I take pictures of the fish. They do not look angry. Except for Damselfish. Well annoyed, not angry.

My impression from other divers is that I look comatose. Maybe I should flap my fins more often?

Nobody said I looked angry but I have had a couple of comments about how they thought I was sleeping during the safety stop. I have a datamask and was watching depth/time.

Wearing my mask ages me about 15 years and wearing a hood seems to add about 30. I look more surprised than angry wearing mask.

wearing a hood seems to add about 30.

Yes, but is it slimming? Have you considered vertical stripes or a pastel color?

Sorry, you meant years...

That's funny.

Another victim of the "I'm not angry, my face just makes me look that way" problem. Tsk tsk

Actually, Skippy, I think your mask makes you look like Zorro.

You're just a victim of "Bitchy Diving Face", you're not a bad person. Here, watch this video to see if people suffering from similar issues can offer you hope or understanding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v98CPXNiSk

My mask makes me look around. The rest of what I wear just makes me look round.

I definitely do have a severe resting bitch face

I'm quite happy to look like Zorro
Maybe I'll get a hat and a sword too...
