XD, I have a VERY strange walk. It scares the PISS out of people. Closest thing I can relate it to is "gangster" like, even though I HATE that genre. It's very....poised. I walk FIRMLY on my heel for stability, with bent knees, so that my heart doesn't have to work harder to pump blood to my lower extremities, giving me more energy. My head is down and a little forwards, to protect the throat and take full advantage of cephalization. My wrists are turned slightly outwards, allowing the solid bones and tougher skin of the upside of my forearm to face forwards, so that, if attacked from the front, I can quickly use my arms to repel anything up to knife blows. This means that, effectively, the only area which is "easy" to attack is my core, which is defended by my hands. This walk intimidates EVERYONE. Some people laugh at it, but I theorize that that is just so that they don't openly admit that they're....unnerved.
However, I know no other way to walk. Walking "normally" doesn't feel like it should, not in that it isn't habit, but more in that I don't think I'm walking "correctly", correctly.
When I cross an open room, the denser, the more intensely felt, I feel RIDICULOUSLY conscious of my "walk", and it makes me feel....judged. It's hell.
I LOOOOOOVE militaries, worldwide. Not for any specific reason. I guess it's the testosterone. I can probably name most all commonly sighted MBR (Main battle rifles) of most developed nations, as well as the style and cartridge. I can also tell you that the PSG-1 is an anti-terrorist sniper rifle produced by H&K, chambering the 7.62 x 51 mm NATO, equivalent, roughly, to the .308. This is a heavy rifle round. The rifle is one of the finest in the world, utilizing a free floating barrel, among other things, to give it the accuracy of a bolt action in a semi-automatic package.....
Blahblah blah. *Spares you the misery*
And that's just one weapon. I know MANY, MANY weapons.
And that leads me to MY iffy wear.
Camouflage.
Very rarely, I'll wear a full uniform (My favorite is my TRU-urban digital), but, FAR more often, I just wear my combat boots and the jacket to a uniform, with the sleeves rolled up. Oh yeah. With other clothes, XD. Not naked.
Point being, militaristic ends are one of my "aspie focuses", and I wear and walk combat. Yeah.
><
EDIT: But anyone and everyone who knows, or has even SPOKEN to me, comments on my incredibly "gentleman" demeanor. I try to be polite. It works.
Point being, sure, one could claim that because I scare everyone crapless, I also scare away any potential admirers. But I think that when I hear people behind me in class whispering about how I'm intimidating at first, but RIDICULOUSLY "sweet", and I don't even know their NAMES, I must make an impression.
Seriously. It gets to the point that, halfway through this past school year, in the lunch line, when I was paying, the lunch lady stopped me and told me that a few other lunchladies and herself wanted me to know that I am, quote "The 'sweetest' and most polite person to go through the line everyday.'
Meh.
