I got a man nod the other day. It was surreal.

I was walking along, minding my own business & a man done the upwards nod thing that they do to eachother, but to me! I looked behind me, there was no one there.

So i kinda played around with it for a while. There's nothing natural in it for women i dont think, we just don't do that. Weird.
A man nod is for people you vaguely know when you're too far away to say hi and have your hands full.
Unless it's accompanied by "allright?"
Which doesn't require a response, merely acknowledging your existence.
@Mindfulness i didn't know him. But that's the first time thats every happened & i realised that it's a relatively masculine domain, the upwards nod 😂
@SevenTierCrazyCake What did you do in response?
@SevenTierCrazyCake Seven tiers of crazy, right?
@Mindfulness oh no, i'm definitely way crazier now than i was when i came up with this username
@SevenTierCrazyCake Yeah yeah, have your tea and a sit down. I'm downgrading you to six tiers! 🤣🤣

Were you wearing something like a logo he would appreciate? Sports jersey, writing on a t-shirt?
@JimboSaturn Ew, no. Flirting is not permitted, ever.

It is a glorious cardy though. Oversized & comfy.

@SevenTierCrazyCake You may not permit it but he may lol
@JimboSaturn
If a stranger mods at me. I give them poker face. 🙃
@SevenTierCrazyCake because I want to make them feel silly 🤪

@Ambroseguy80 I'll pass

And you just nod back in response

Elessar · 26-30, M
@SevenTierCrazyCake Yes, but after that, smile and nod back 😌
@Elessar i'm pretty sure i kust looked confused. If it happens again i will be better prepared.

@Elessar It amazes me how this minute gestures are so universally understood.

I greet people like that all the time. 😳
@CrazyMusicLover I'm not saying theres anything wrong with it! It's a movement of a body part 😆 I just noticed that no one had ever done that to me before.

@SevenTierCrazyCake I never thought about it as a masculine thing though. 😅 For me it's a sign of social shyness or some sort of...I don't know, a greeting that could be changed into something else last second in case you greet the wrong person or you simply can't tell which verbal greeting would be appropriate. 😆
@CrazyMusicLover it's the upwards motion. I've only ever seen men do that to eachother. But then i live in a small market town in Ireland, what the hell would i know about anything 😅

@Gangstress you're my exception to prove the rule.
@MrBlueGuy my neck says no

I do the wink and finger guns, then a well timed fart for comedic effect

I know instead you're nice and pleasant to each others faces and then stab each other in the back 30 seconds late
@Bang5luts you chose violence this morning huh? 😆
Bang5luts · M
