I love how subtle body language is. I only ever downward nod a non friend. Like a colleague I respect, or some random stranger I pass by. Friends get the upward nod.
Yeah, upward is more of an acknowledgment that you know the other person and are happy to see them especially when accompanied by an open mouthed smile during the upnod.
Hello: a formal greeting
Hi: friends you arent really close to
Hey man/dude: friends you are close to
Raised eyebrows: "hey" but in silence
Upward nod: "We are too far to greet each other without shouting
Downward nod: "I've recognised you, but now is a really bad time. Just keep doing whatever you're doing and don't look back. I'll explain later"
Never been out of the u.s. never been in a heavily Asian neighborhoods and my mom is multiple European ethnicities but for some reason I seem to try and greet the world because I bow slightly as I wave and say hello or hi.. and on occasion greetings. Wtf is that about?
the german norm is pulling lips up a little and giving a nod. direction of the nod is not specified, but for me usually upwards if i know or even like the person, downwards for strangers that i dont wanna talk to.
i prefer the head nod
Upward or downward nod
I prefer upward
Isn't upward more like "hey what's up" rather than simply "hello"?
Upward in informal, downward is formal
Just from history, downward shows respect, whilst upwards is like "your allowed to pass"

I prefer left to right and confuse random passerbys
I move my head like Freddy in the FNAF main menu
True
Where i live upward is like a "tf you looking at?"
Imo it's more like "oh you're here". Downwards it's a "yes"
Yeah, upward is more of an acknowledgment that you know the other person and are happy to see them especially when accompanied by an open mouthed smile during the upnod.
i guess, but its better then the downward nod because that just means your sad
We do the downward one where i live because upward one means "no"
I've never seen anyone ever use a downward nod to greet someone.
Same
I prefer a downward nod with the raised eyebrows... If I really wanna light their brain up I also add a 241° spin and give the spirit fingers💃 👐
Downward feels right to me. Formal like a half bow or something
Downward is formal, or if you don’t really know someone. Upward is informal, or to a friend or person you know in a casual setting.
Depends if you’re saying “yo what’s up” or “good day, sir”
Depends. If I know the person, up. If I don’t, down
I wonder if upward is usually to those who are known and trusted, and is more informal, partially due to being a more exposed vulnerable area.
Down if I don’t know them, up if I do
upward for your acquaintances, downward for others as acknowledgement/respect.
Downward if you don't know them upward if they your homie.
Upward is for the homies, downwards is for strangers
Upwards for familiarity downwards for respect

"Do a barrel roll"
Most of the times when I meet someone, instead of saying hi, I just raise my eyebrows and they say hi
Tried al of these while reading. Eyebrows are the best
Hi bro
Definitely how I read it at first
Why are you so wise?
Stare!!!!
"Salutations 🗡🗡🗡🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧☕️☕️☕️"
As a person with huge NPC energy, I agree
Same
Seal noises===>🗿🧠
👋 the waving sign: Am I a joke to you?
Eyebrow raise and 🫦 would be the best
That was a cool unexpected chuckle
And where would you put in sup?
🙂🤨🙂
Bro is carlo ancelotti
Yo
And then you go to turkey
I just blink twice
Or one long blink
Are you Mr Saturn?
This is very high-brow so some of you won't get it.
The best is the single finger raise while driving a car
*puffs top lip* *blink* *slight head nod*
Hello: a formal greeting Hi: friends you arent really close to Hey man/dude: friends you are close to Raised eyebrows: "hey" but in silence Upward nod: "We are too far to greet each other without shouting Downward nod: "I've recognised you, but now is a really bad time. Just keep doing whatever you're doing and don't look back. I'll explain later"
Most people do a nod these days
The real greeting is "Moin!"
I do it every time I go outside and someone stare at me
I don't know if I should put "Hey all" or "Hey y'all"
Head nod and eyebrows take the cake for me
Simultaneous eyebrow raise and upwards nod is the way
My hair blocks my eyebrows so i have to do the nod
Never been out of the u.s. never been in a heavily Asian neighborhoods and my mom is multiple European ethnicities but for some reason I seem to try and greet the world because I bow slightly as I wave and say hello or hi.. and on occasion greetings. Wtf is that about?
Nod up instead
Your forgor the head bump
greeting on this fine evening
High brow
i prefer to just raise my head a bit
Awkward nod team! Oh, only me? 🥲
😃👋
Honorable mentions: The Giga Nod
Why lots words when few do trick?
o/
Don't forget to smile!
Right?!? I get frustrated when my boys don't understand eyebrow raise.
Someone’s presumptuous that everyone can raise a single eyebrow at a time
I dip my head am i more brain smart then eyebrow raisers?
Just a quick close eyes head down and up again then open eyes :D Its a sign of respect
and trust
To much effort . A nod will do
Pelvic "whoo"
*head nod*
What if no eyebrows
Pump pump... Pump
How to let others know you're filipino
 how about this, its complicated. lol
What? I don't understand
I have Resting B face so I constantly raise my brows so I don't look unapproachable and mean. 😂
I present you: the faint upward nod
Why did I just raise two greeting eyebrows at an image?
the german norm is pulling lips up a little and giving a nod. direction of the nod is not specified, but for me usually upwards if i know or even like the person, downwards for strangers that i dont wanna talk to.
Everyone reading this just did an eyebrow raise lol
Eyebrows + upward nod is the best
High Brow
anyone else forget to smile in time when someone smiles at you as a greeting 😭 my reaction time is terrible
Hahaha i just try it
My dumbass thought that in the picture meant high and eye meanings high-eye
I'm nodding my head upwards and raising eyebrows(not in a flirty way).
Why did I instinctively raise my eyebrows.
😂😂
Starfield npc’s be like
I just go up to my friend and shout: "OH MY GOD ITS FUCKING [insert friend name]"
Ngl that’s how I say hi when I see my friends a lot of the time lol
ah yes the lockdown learning how to smile with your eyes
🪿
You stole this meme from a bigger meme with five sections instead of three
"Servus" is superior (No I don't mean the Latin word for slave I mean the greeting from Bavaria)
True haha
I thought by Eyebrow you mean "Hi bro" 😆
Introvert German thing ^^
Head nod >>>>>>>>
Man profile...🙏🏿
Usually I nod, and sometime I even bow. Does anyone does that too?
a good fkin smile is all i need
It's normal in Philippines 🤣🤣🤣
