Meeting Putin would scare me just on the basis that as ex-KGB he could snap my neck if he was so inclined. I'm not sure that's enough to really characterize the man, though, at least it's little more than what the people who project average-Joeness have. At least with e.g. Larry Ellison we have many independent reports from those that worked with / under him that we can safely agree it is a mistake to anthropomorphize him.
