i'll start. i saw a ask reddit post saying something along the lines of "men of reddit whats something women can't understand" and the comments were just. oh my god. the main one that made me want to puke was "when dudes walk by each other and nod" and the whole fucking thread was just fedoras with arms soypogging like it was some secret language or something. "when you nod upwards, it means respect!!!!!1!!11 when you nod downwards its aggression!!!1!11!!!!!" as if women dont do the same shit.
do you guys have something similar to share?
nah reddit just has no idea what they're talking about. A downward nod is like respect and acknowledgement of the other person, usually towards a stranger. Upward nod is friendlier, usually towards a friend. Downward nod is also friendly, it's just a bit more aloof, like there's more separation between the two people. An upward nod conveys a sense of closeness.
MANY CONFLICTING DEFINITIONS OF THE DUDE NOD
I have now concluded from the Brotherhood of Nod that dudes, in fact, do not rock. Not if this is the kind of bs they engage in :)
Upward nod can also be aggressive. There's no significance in the direction of a nod, there's no way to do nod-phrenology
This is revisionism
Look if you've never gotten the "would you like to engage in fisticuffs"-nod, then you are not allowed to speak on nodologics
