What's up with the "guy nod?"

Why do all guys do it? Is it just something wired into our brains like fapping? I find myself doing it to other guys as a sign of acknowledgement without even thinking, then they do it back.

  • Males show encouragement or dominance by pulling their heads up. To show respect or approval males put their heads down to show the other male did something alpha.

  • I speak pretty quietly, so nodding is usually my go-to.

  • Nodding up= hey. I believe it originated in elementary school when you couldnt talk in the hall so you just nodded. Then nodding as thank you or just a sign of respect we are just to lazy to say thank you I guess.
