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?

    Basically it's the idea that men greet people (particularly other men) with a slight nod. This is often expanded into an idea of a sort of "nod language" particular to men, where an upwards vs downwards vs left vs right nod have different meanings.
