RE: Starting to get a complex. (helmet related)
Bro it looks fine seriously. I have the same issues that you do I have bought 2 different helmets in the past couple of months because I dont like the way they look on me. I live in Minnesota and have been riding lid free for ever, but this year I have had several buddies go down and have mishaps and things frankly its got me a little worried. A guy I know even lost half of his ear because of no helmet. I am a relatively big guy and I have a rather large head and when I put on a helmet and look in the mirror I feel like a giant mushroom standing there, I hate the way a helmet looks on me. My wife says they look just fine but I think she only says that because she's not ready to put me 6 feet under yet. (I stress the yet!)
. Bottom line is this, even if your helmet looks a little goofy (which I dont think it does) its nothing compared to how goofy your gonna look with your brains running out of your ears on a highway somewhere. I stopped riding to look cool a long time ago, Just tell them if they dont like the way the helmet looks on you then dont look at you.

That's funny!!
I have a Harley half helmet and my buddy says I look like Marvin the Martian and I'm riding my "Illudium Pu-36 Explosive Space Modulator". It's actually kind of funny.

I happen to like the way that helmet looks, but prefer a 3/4 helmet myself. When I put on my Hd Ultra Jet helmet with the sun visor attatched my wife says I look like.....and anybody old enough to remember "The Flintstones" will recognize this..... "The Great Kazoo". Even my 22 year old son gets in on it yelling KAZOO! every damn time I put it on. Now I just wear the flip-shield. Screw that Kazoo ****!

My helmet looks about the same. I get many more laughs when I wear my StingyBrim.

Damn, Carsoni took my line!!! I had a buddy who called me the great Kazoo one time, when I was trying on new helmets!!!! In the end I bought a much thinner, yet DOT approved helmet from Carbonfiberhelmets.com. They look good and give DOT protection. But honestly, your helmet looks no different than any other.

I like the advice about wearing the helmet around the store for 10 to 15 minutes before you buy it. That would look kind of goofy to me.
Yours looks good. What would look goofier? Wearing the helmet or a crushed/dented head?
