The Nod of Approval.
    #17834858 - 02/20/13 09:42 AM (11 years, 1 month ago)

Do you ever walk down the street and see someone whom you do not know whatsoever, and then this happens?

:nodofunderstanding:

I want to understand why this happens, is it just that "Hey, I'm Okay with you walking past me." or just an act of friendlyness?

Look closer. The nod of approval is not the same as a nod of acknowledgement.


--------------------
You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

I think it is different for different people.

For me it's the latter; for me its a way to acknowledge, "Yes I was looking at you; and no I'm not trying to be creepy."

I'd say it's just a lighter version of "Hi" or "Hello". It's so chill, though, if people do it :cool:

I just do it because I think it's weird ignoring another person when you walk down the street. This is different when you live in a big city, ofcourse.

This too.

I spent a good chunk of my youth growing up in the US south west, where on a lot of roads you will drive for hours and not see another living soul. So when you finally do you always wave at them.

:nodofunderstanding:
for approving his presence near yours,

safety and such.

most of all.,
approval of the hardships of life, that lead to using your legs for such activity such as walking.

For me its more like a non verbal hello and acknowledgement of them without the awkwardness of saying something to someone I dont know.

In high school I remember a huge discussion in my sociology class about this. It lasted a couple hours and we discussed the implications of different types of nods, when it happens, where it happens, who initiates it, and everything else you can think of. Now I think about that everytime I nod at people.

Not sure, but when you figure it out you should post the answer in the thread that shows where gifs come from: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/17245050#17245050

I do it sometimes, mostly when someone holds the door open for me or the like.


--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way.
I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today.
Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear.
I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear.


You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being
With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline
