Word? How is this not universally understood. I 100% understand women not knowing but that’s on some unwritten guy code tip.

it only matters to us
Younger than me or about my age = nod up
Older than me = nod down
It’s a respect thing

Yeah man, nobody nodded down where I'm from. Only started noticing that shit when I started working downtown and figured it was a cultural thing. And still think that's part of it since it's the younger white guys that nod up.

holy shit i just noticed that white = up nod, black = down nod. That shit is accurate like 99% of the time
and yes, not reciprocating the nod is coonish at worst, mad impolite at best

....so what you're all telling me is it's like... Bikers with they lil half wave. I get it.... No wonder no one out here in the middle of nowhere does it or returns it... Every once in a while... A few (very few) old farmers...
I didn't realize it was a more specified group thing... Makes sense now.

Nah b, as you get older, the nod is crucial especially at the office. Spot I used to work at had very few bruhs there so whenever you ran across one in the hallway the nod was a sign of respect and recognition. The only cat that didn't really do it was this Nupe nigga, but he was younger than most of us and by the time I left the company he was on-board with it. He was on some "I don't know you nigga"-type shit, but one of the senior engineers had a sit-down with him and explained that Black men in these kinds of positions need to recognize one another as a form of solidarity and camaraderie even if we don't know one another like that.
Outside of that one cat, bruhs have given each other the nod at pretty much every place I worked in the professional world.

Yo.. they really had a sit down meeting over the nod. That’s crazy lolol straight out of a seinfeld plot.

Yeah, I knew the OG 'cause we had worked on a project together and he knew the Nupe nigga 'cause he was put on the OG's team for his first project. OG had observed dude in the hallway refusing to nod a few times and he brought it up to him in the cafeteria at lunch one day. OG told a few of us in one of them hallway pow-wow's and after that we started noticing dude giving everyone the nod.
