A nod of the head similiar to the nod of acknoweldgement but can be used between any two men, not just friends. It is an unspoken greeting in which only another man nod is an appropriate response. Signifies acceptence of presence. Verbally may be interpretted as a grunt. Universal language with no ehtnic restrictions.
Bob was walking down a street in a rough neighborhood as he approached a scary looking bigger man. Thankfully the the bigger man gave Bob a man nod, which Bob returned and continued on his way.

The Laughing Man is a character in the Japanese anime Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex by Manga. He plays a central role in the series, portraying a very mysterious and elite hacker.
The name was originally seen in a novel by J.D. Salinger
'A complex in the psychological sense is a cluster of related thoughts and feelings that lie deep in the unconscious, reflecting into the conscious. The Stand Alone Complex can be described as the desire to change the world, the drive to change what is wrong with society. It is the urge to stand alone against impossible odds, to risk everything for seemingly little gain.'
The Laughing Man's actions are motivated by what has been coined the 'Stand Alone Complex'.

The rules for "acting like a man"; the mentality, behaviors and restrictions that many men and boys are socialized to conform to. These tenets of the "cult of masculinity" are both symptoms and enablers of Dominator Culture. They can be so pervasive as to be almost invisible; yet they lead men to disrespect, mistreat, and abuse women and each other.

This is the love of my life, my daughter Jay. The world I envision for her -- how do I want men to be acting and behaving? ... I need you working with me and me working with you on how we raise our sons and teach them to be men -- that it's okay to not be dominating, that it's okay to have feelings and emotions, that it's okay to promote equality, that it's okay to have women who are just friends and that's it, that it's okay to be whole, that my liberation as a man is tied to your liberation as a woman.
I remember asking a nine-year-old boy ... "What would life be like for you, if you didn't have to adhere to this man box?" He said to me, "I would be free."

A man who has settled down from an otherwise adventurous lifestyle and started a family. The ultimate destiny of anyone who fights, and subsequently loses to, Guile from the Street Fighter franchise. Family men are known to be overly patriotic due to getting their butts kicked by a man with a tattoo of the American flag on each bicep. Family men are not necessarily male; a small number of females have been known to become family men after facing Guile in combat.
"Go home and be a family man."
--Guile, standing over the broken body of his previous opponent.

An overrated Portuguese footballer that loves scoring against Crotone. Legend has it he once jumped three metres high just to score against Crotone. He would fight anyone who dares to take Crotone from him.
Crotone man and penalties...an everlasting romantic story.
