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?

when you nod upwards, it means respect, when you nod downwards its aggression

uh and they clearly don't understand the nods. A nod downward is respect and acknowledgement, usually towards a stranger, conveying an aloof friendliness, while a nod upward is like "what's up," often towards a friend, warmer, like the head nod equivalent of dapping someone up
