Don't look back.
I'm a reasonably big bloke with a massive beard. Wandering up the street one day, I was walking behind a dad carrying his young daughter. She was looking out over his shoulder and seemed quite taken by my extreme beardiness. Finally she announced in a very loud voice, "DAD! The man behind us is REALLY hairy!"

He never turned, didn't even pause, just broke straight into a brisk jog.
