By now everyone knows I have "Life" rules to follow. Much like the fictional character from the hit T.V. show NCIS, Leroy Jethro Gibbs and I share a few that are the same and I have others that he might use, but he's fictional, and I'm not.
Rule #37 states: No man or boy shall put his hands in his pockets in my presence.
I then tell any guilty party that there is no way for them to protect themselves in the event I launch one of my famed Throat Punches, or that there is no way for me to decipher whether they are playing pocket pool with themselves in my presence. Can't have those acts of homosexuality going on since I am not a participant in such ways.
The reality of it is they don't know what to do with their appendages and are uncomfortable without holding an object, so they jam their hands into their pockets, which subsequently rounds their shoulders into a slumping and lazy posture.
Couple this with the act of getting photographed. Now captured for eternity or until the picture gets deleted, the male form is now looking quite slack and vulnerable. Not manly.
TAKE your hands out of your pockets and eventually you will become comfortable with them hanging steady by your side.
