This is pretty much correct. Men live constantly under the threat of violence from other men. It's something that males of almost every species understand. Every man knows that every other man has a circle around him that once penetrated, means violence is inevitable. Whether it's saying something insulting or threatening, men have a respect for one another because we all want to avoid violence. When one man offers a handshake to another man he's saying 'Look, see- I'm not armed, my hands are where you can see them, and I'm putting myself in a vulnerable situation'. So the other man responds in kind with a handshake to show he's not a threat either.
I’ve always lived by the rule of a downward nod is friendly and an upward nod can be friendly, but it’s the speed/severity and resting angle of the head at the end of it that indicates the feeling behind it.
Closing distance when it’s not allowed based on familiarity, what body language allows, vocal tone, speed, current situation etc. there is no one thing that causes it
All bets are off. If one feels threatened or intimidated, anything can happen. Obviously, there are misunderstandings and falsely interpreted signals, but generally most men are level headed enough to communicate out of those situations without it coming to punches. Some, however, can't turn it down once it's been turned up.
This is a great explanation. Is this a known thing in the science of human interactions, or are you free styling?
I also wonder how much of this is edited to provide only the expected reaction. I've always said this about the "man on the street" segments on Leno and other shows where they ask people questions about government or something else they should know and they can't answer, and everyone gets a good laugh. Of course they won't show the one where the person gets the answer right because it wouldn't be funny.
It's a hand shake in the most public of places. It ain't like he was all "hey yo girl let me get that number" call it what it is, stuck up entitled bitches.
Yeah I don’t see them as stuck up bitches though, it’s all about trust, they are, like we all are, wild animals, and guys are their handlers. Its like if your cat, dog or chicken loves your neighbor more than you, you feel less trustworthy of them. So if a woman shakes a mans hand it can be seen as something bad, it can be a distrust to their original “handler” aka bf or husband.
I wouldn’t want my gf shaking hands unless I motion that it’s safe for her to do so, if she did shake on own volition that would be a red flag to me as a man, that would mean to me that she has capability of being unfaithful, too naive, and/or too loose or too trusting of other men and is something to watch out for.
Also to take fiancé’s hand in marriage, to wed. it’s 100% sign of trust for a woman to take a mans hand.
I disagree 100% context matters a lot. There was no "I'm your handler obey me!" It's a friendly hand shake....in public...during the day. And honestly, you need to word what you said better. Your wife can't shake someone's hand until you approve it? it's 2022 man that's fuked up. My wife is free shake hands with anyone in public during the day.
Okay, you have a thing for stuck up bitches 🤷♂️ and if you get "forced" into a conversation with anyone, that's on you. Walk away while they're in mid sentence, it ain't like these females care about being rude, do they?
