Okay; done. I wonder if I'll get people thinking that I'm trying to wave Christianity at them with much threatiness. I suppose that's considerably less likely now that I've mentioned it in a comment. How Heisenberg.

Yes the guy on the right is definitely the scarier of the two! I expect laser beams to shoot out of his eyes at any moment.

These young men look like clean cut, American nice guys. These guys look like they would give you the shirt off their backs (no pun intended). They were nice enough to pose for the picture and am sure they would help old ladies cross the street, buy Girl Scout Cookies and mow your lawn if you were on vaction.

I bet they would, but I'm not so certain how nice they'd be if the person asking for the shirt was gay, or transgendered, or Muslim, or atheist.
Clean cut American nice guys have been responsible for plenty of horrors; if you don't sense the threatiness, it's likely because you've never had clean cut American nice guys decide that they need to reinforce their masculinity by bonding over some violence targeted at a member of an outgroup, and have that outgroup include you.
Of course, none of this means that the two fellows there are anything other than righteous, nonviolent folks who only want to help old ladies cross the street, etc. But you have no more way of knowing that than I do.

I have certainly found that clean cut guys are often the meanest. Bald neo-Nazis, perhaps? Jocks in high school? etc

Yep. All about context.

The guy on the right has stars in his eyes. Maybe he sees the lord coming down in glory.

I'm an Iowa native (Des Moines, specifically) and this is an example of what I've dubbed, "blond Iowa" -- and an Iowan would know what I mean: think of when you go through towns like Pella, Orange City, Elk Horn, etc., and see the tall, blond, affirmatively Christian people who look like they've jumped out of a Leni Riefenstahl film because their family hasn't mated outside of a ten-mile radius since they settled in the late 1800s. I'm not putting them down, I have family in "blond Iowa" towns -- I just feel like I'm in the twilight zone when I'm in a blond Iowa crowd sometimes (especially now that I live in Chicago).
