You’re walking along a path and another person approaches from the opposite direction.

Do you tilt your head to signify which direction around them you intend to go? Is that head tilt understood by others?

Should we start pointing also?

Install hand blinkers?

    whoever budges and makes way for the other male has just become the submissive male.

    For someone who actually thinks like that, being insecure about how someone else might think they’re the “submissive male” makes them the “submissive male”. “Real men” aren’t going to care what some random person who will never affect them thinks, especially if it’s silly stuff like this.

    Alpha posturing aside, a lot of people make kinds of unnecessary sacrifices out of insecurity also. It’s good to start trying to develop the habit of catching yourself and doing whatever you wanted to in the first place regardless of what people think (within limits, obviously).
