I ussually nod my head 'to someone' when I walk by and I know em, I've been known to nod when I got up and left from a 'group' of people or whatever. It could just be a show of "Hello, goodbye."
Yeah, good point. I suppose a guy ussually does it when they're implying "hey grow some balls and kiss her."
True, but... Also there could be a touch of paranoia. One or two nodding for whatever reason and it seems like the whole group is doing so. I'd seriously take note of all the peoples attitude to myself before I attached any negative connotations.
wow you people are taking this to far, all a head nod means is hey, whats up or hi. nod=sup << yes its thats easy.
Not always, some of my friends (one in particular) does this when I'm on a date all the time to signal "Hey pussy, make a move." ha
I don't think so though. Thats what I thought at first, but when they all do it at the same time and they are leaving us alone, I think something's up.
typically, it does in fact mean "hey." probably not in this case; i'm guessing it has to do with him wanting to have sex with you. or maybe group tourette's.
Well where I'm from if you go to the ghetto and do the head nod to someone chillin outside and they nod back it means they are holding or its ok to stop.
In general circumstances, the head nod is used as a "hello" between men. An upwards nod is for friends, and a downwards nod is for fellow men. However when two dudes spend enough time together they learn eachothers facial expressions, and can actually communicate using only nods when trying to send thoughts "under the radar" of anyone who is around. Unfortunately for you, these "noduications" can only be translated by one of the involved dudes. The same expression, accompanied by the same nod, can mean two totally different things in different situations. It all depends on the nodding party's thoughts on the subject at hand, and prior conversations the group had privately, regarding what's going on.
I am all too familiar with head nods. I work Maintenance at a large printing company. When nothing is broke down, I mostly just wander around the plant aimlessly. I have a great deal of friends that work there, so as I walk through each department my neck can start to hurt because of all the nods I return.
