According to recent research in the academic journal <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__link.springer.com_article_10.1007-252Fs11199-2D019-2D01061-2D9-3F-5Fga-3D2.168428073.98282225.1565028674-2D411297869.1565028674&amp;d=DwMFaQ&amp;c=B73tqXN8Ec0ocRmZHMCntw&amp;r=9nwDl_pIp8W9U61FAo1Trt5i68EVpiNMXKLb4jY30Gc&amp;m=9WiTGTbF1mlN46derXm8pCJAN_JZCw2VnLhE9KTPUXI&amp;s=vZKB-TfDjehWMbATVY3aXd7CigcSr5Gx61v25yPhEZM&amp;e=" id="48fc5223-a04c-303b-a60c-92c24966f9ab"> Sex Roles </a> , fear of being perceived as gay could be driving some men to avoid environmentally-friendly behaviors such as grocery shopping with reusable bags.

In three studies, researchers found that perceptions of environmental behavior were strongly-linked to gender, with those who engaged in green behavior being perceived as more feminine than masculine. In the first two studies, researchers gave participants logs of a fictional persons daily activities and asked them to rate whether the person was behaving in a feminine or masculine way and to guess at their sexual orientation.

According to the researchers, participants in the study felt more uncertainty about the sexual orientation of those who broke with gender norms in their green or not-so-green behaviorand, they noted, a fear of being perceived as gay or lesbian may be a roadblock to individuals environmentalism.

There may be subtle, gender-related consequences when we engage in various pro-environmental behaviors, Janet Swim, a professor of psychology at Penn State and one of the lead authors of the paper, said in a <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.eurekalert.org_pub-5Freleases_2019-2D07_ps-2Dhwc073019.php-3F-5Fga-3D2.59777189.98282225.1565028674-2D411297869.1565028674&amp;d=DwMFaQ&amp;c=B73tqXN8Ec0ocRmZHMCntw&amp;r=9nwDl_pIp8W9U61FAo1Trt5i68EVpiNMXKLb4jY30Gc&amp;m=9WiTGTbF1mlN46derXm8pCJAN_JZCw2VnLhE9KTPUXI&amp;s=eJKE70oj9ynZJ6GKajn_CZIjTGX0pwP5TovvBGFMPHI&amp;e=" id="94ceabc6-828f-30c3-ad9c-595ff7346a9c"> statement </a> last week. People may avoid certain behaviors because they are managing the gendered impression they anticipate others will have of them. Or they may be avoided if the behaviors they choose do not match their gender.

The research is just the latest to show a strong link between environmental behaviors and gender norms, as the Pacific Standard <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__psmag.com_environment_how-2Dgender-2Dstereotypes-2Daffect-2Dpro-2Denvironment-2Dbehavior&amp;d=DwMFaQ&amp;c=B73tqXN8Ec0ocRmZHMCntw&amp;r=9nwDl_pIp8W9U61FAo1Trt5i68EVpiNMXKLb4jY30Gc&amp;m=9WiTGTbF1mlN46derXm8pCJAN_JZCw2VnLhE9KTPUXI&amp;s=MGZRtUI4OQkOjHQwGLUmdMt1LhWzjf9hc9wL5YeNjXQ&amp;e=" id="2078e4cf-2665-327d-a8f9-5a2cb1ebc2ef"> noted </a> last week.

Whether that will work or not remains to be seen, but the new research may help explain why some men dont recycle or utilize reusable bags. As Swim observed, those who engaged in environmentally-friendly behavior were rated as more feminine than masculine regardless of the behaviors they didpossibly reflecting gender tropes of women as more nurturing than men. For some guys, that may not be a deterrent to doing their part to protect the environment. But for less secure dudes, that could be reason not to recycle or make use of reusable grocery bags.

If being seen as heterosexual is important to a person," Swim said, "that person may prioritize gender-conforming over gender non-conforming pro-environmental behaviors in anticipation of how others might see them."

Study: 'Green' Habits Perceived as Less Masculine

Fragile masculinity isnt just annoyingit could also be destroying the planet.

People Tend to See 'Green' Habits as Being Less Masculine, Study Finds

According to actor Kit Harington, he had a little bit of trouble with the mechanical buck used in the filming of a scene in the Game of Thrones final season premiere-and nearly damaged one of his testicles in the process.

There was a bit where Jon almost falls off the dragon-swings round really violent like this-and my right ball got trapped, and I didnt have time to say stop, Harington said in Game Revealed, a behind-the-scenes featurette on the making of the dramatic first episode of the HBO series eighth and final season. In my head, I thought, This is how it ends-on this buck swinging me around by my testicles. Literally.

The season eight premiere marked the first time Harington, who plays Snow, had to ride the mechanical dragon-something his co-star, Emilia Clarke, who plays Daenerys, has done with regularity. While Clarke is an old pro at dragon riding by now, Harrington had a learning curve to overcome-nearly leading to an injury almost as gruesome as those that have befallen so many characters in the famously violent show.

The near ball-busting is not the only tidbit of information Harington has revealed in recent days amid the buzz about the groundbreaking HBO hits final episodes. The actor also acknowledged recently that he has to to appear taller in some scenes and that he when he took off his costume for the last time. He also of the final season, saying those who feel disappointed by the shows conclusion can go fuck themselves.

If people feel let down by it, I dont give a fuck- because everyone tried their hardest, Harington said in a wide-ranging interview with . Thats how I feel.

Of course, its unclear how the epic series will end. Thankfully, it probably wont be with Jon Snow losing his ball in a dragon accident.

Those false accusations Jose is making are not true! the television personality tweeted Tuesday afternoon.

Those false accusations Jose is making are not true!I have known Alex for many years and havent even seen him for over 5. I certainly did not sleep with him. I am friendly with both him and Jennifer.

Jose Canseco had claimed on Twitter Sunday, after A-Rod and J-Lo announced their engagement on social media, that his fellow ex-ballplayer was cheating on the singer and actress with his ex-wife.

Alex Rodriguez stop being a piece of shit stop cheating on Jennifer Lopez, Canseco wrote. I was there a few months back with her when he called her on the phone.

But according to his ex-wife, she hasnt seen him for more than five years. I certainly did not sleep with him, she wrote. I am friendly with both him and Jennifer.

Neither Lopez nor Rodriguez responded to the claims, nor did A-Rod appear to have responded to Cansecos bizarre tweet challenging him to a boxing match or an MMA match anytime you want. Canseco has publicly dabbled in mixed martial arts before-most notably, perhaps, in his against child star Danny Bonaduce.

Canseco, 54, was a six-time all-star and two-time World Series champion, but the former is perhaps best known now for revelations about his use of steroids-and his that contended a vast majority of MLB players, including Rodriguez, were using performance enhancing drugs.

Rodriguez had denied using PEDs, but to using banned substances from 2001 to 2003 after reports emerged that hed tested positive for the drugs. He was for violating league drug policy for using human growth hormone. But the 14-time all-star, two-time American League MVP and World Series champion has somewhat rehabbed his image, embarking on a successful broadcasting career on Sunday Night Baseball. Hes been since 2017.

He proposed to the singer and actress on a beach Saturday, as documented in social media posts by the pair.

Here Are 15 Great Sports Movies to Watch on Netflix

Whos the greatest of all time? MJ? Or LeBron?

Its the kind of debate that sports yellers on AM radio fall back on when theres no good sports news. But its also a question that feels worn out before its even posed-the hoops equivalent of asking if a hot dog is a sandwich. And yet, the question continues to invite all sorts of extremely adamant opinions-a Beatles vs. Stones argument for the court.

LeBrons 32,311 points and counting to Jordans 32,292 have already brought this threadbare debate back to the fore. The exhausted GOAT question was posed after the Lakers losing effort Wednesday by , , , and more-and I completely understand why. These two men, after all, are the defining players of their eras-stunningly dominant stars who have effectively served as the faces of the league not just across America, but the world over. Its only natural to want to compare them.

But the thing about greatness is that it constitutionally resists comparison. Greatness, by its nature, is unique to that which possesses it. How can you compare the vast beauty of the Grand Canyon to Niagara Falls? The genius of Shakespeare to Toni Morrison? Who was a more important president: George Washington or Abraham Lincoln?

MJ and LeBron are both great-in their own way, in their own times, for their own reasons. Pitting them against each other not only unfairly minimizes one of the players accomplishments (not to mention those of a whole host of other great players who never even get to be part of this debate), but also reduces the meaning of the word greatness itself, as though such a concept could be quantified by statistics.

I say all this despite having a rooting interest here.

I live in Chicago, where Jordans legacy still reigns supreme in our sports culture-his dynastic Bulls of the 1990s remains the ruler against which all our citys other athletic achievements are measured. I grew up watching those Bulls, coming of basketball-watching age right around the time they were launching their second three-peat. Its easy to forget sometimes how insane that was. Those 72 wins in the 1995-96 season? Holy crap! I know the Golden State Warriors would later break that record, but thats still bonkers, once-in-a-generation domination, if youre lucky. Jordan didnt do it by himself-Scottie Pippen, in particular, was extraordinary, as was a supporting cast of characters that included Dennis Rodman, Toni Kukoc, and Steve Kerr-but His Airness was, of course, the star of the show.

I loved Jordan growing up like so many other kids, and one of my most cherished childhood moments was when I met him. I was 10 or 11-just after his sixth championship-and I went to his basketball camp in the Chicago suburbs. At the end of the camp, the teams got to take pictures with Mike. By some turn of fortune, I found myself standing next to him. Like all suburban white kids in 1999, I had a frosted-tips hairdo. We lined up to take the picture, and Jordan-66 to my, say, 410-put his arm around me, smirked, and said: Nice hair.

In retrospect, this may have been some of his famous trash talk, but I took it as a compliment: Thanks, I said. My family still has the resulting photo, and my aunt even made a version enlarged to the point that none of my other teammates are in the frame: Its just me and Mike.

I still waste time by watching Jordan highlights online. Have you watched any clips of Jordan playing recently? You really should.

Its so accepted at this point that Michael Jordan is the greatest-or second greatest, depending on your view-of all time that its easy to forget sometimes what that greatness looked like in action. Dunks? You bet your ass there were . Circus layups? My God, he hit some . And that jump shot-smooth as silk, sure as the sunrise, preserved in our collective sports consciousness in his to sink the Cavs in the 1989 NBA playoffs. Dude was unstoppable, and seemed especially so in those moments it mattered most.

That superhuman clutch-and over-the-top competitiveness-is often thrown out by those who say Jordan is the GOAT as a kind of knock on James. Jordan himself once seemingly took a dig at LeBron, after King James in 2010 to play with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh as part of the Big Three that he never would have called up [Larry Bird], called up [Magic Johnson], and said, Hey, look, lets get together and play on one team.

Indeed, so much of the continued criticism of James-so much of the arguments against his GOAT status-seems like extended bitterness over his Decision, the legitimately unseemly television special in which James announced he was fleeing the Cleve for South Florida. It was an unnecessary spectacle, but also something that happened almost 10 years ago now and that he already for. And while joining up with two of the best players in the game in search of that elusive NBA title gave ammo to the pro-Jordan side-MJ didnt need to join a stacked team to win championships, the argument went-it became kind of a moot point once he returned to the Cavaliers and brought his hometown of Cleveland (well, Akron, technically) a championship.

Indeed, the LeBron story of the last few years has been much more like that of his first years in the league: Hes the best part of bad or mediocre teams, willing and muscling pretty uninspiring squads (like last years Cavs) to the top of the NBA. Were living through a pretty amazing dynasty right now with the Golden State Warriors, a team that has been so jam-packed with talent it makes a mockery of the Big Three-era Miami Heat, and yet James individual greatness still shines-even though the clunky Los Angeles Lakers he now plays for have done their best to dull it.

Yes, James has an absolutely absurd highlight reel, too, thats worth revisiting.

Dunks? Check. Clutch shots? Oh, hell yeah. James is an unparalleled playmaker, virtually unequaled in his ability to take over a game from either side of the court.

But whats also striking when you watch James highlights and Jordan highlights back-to-back is how different the two are as players. How do you even begin to compare , which is cool, with , which is cool in its own individualistic way?

Its at this point that Jordan-James debaters start coughing up math. LeBron has more points, MJ has more rings-on and on it goes. Again, this is understandable-stats lend a veneer of science to what is ultimately subjective. But they can only tell you so much. Despite James and Jordan always dominating the GOAT question, neither has as many career points as Kobe Bryant, Karl Malone, or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. By that logic, does that mean the Mailman was greater than Air Jordan? For that matter, there are 13 players who earned as many or more championship rings in their careers as Jordan. Does, say, Robert Horry, who never even made an All-Star Game, belong in the GOAT lineup because he was on seven title teams?

When we talk about the GOAT, were taking a holistic view of the player. That these debates hinge so much on the theoretical-would LeBron have made, or taken, The Shot? How would MJ fare in a more athletic NBA than the one he played in?-makes them far more based on emotion than anything else. How one feels about Jordan and James, then, often reveals far more about the person making the case, relying on geographic, stylistic, and generational preferences.

But heres the thing: You dont have to choose between them. Lets retire this question-right now, forever. If youre old enough to genuinely engage in the debate, you should be grateful that youve been lucky enough to witness two of the greatest players in history at the top of their form. Sports debates can be fun, especially a few beers in, but this one is tiresome. Played out. The most ardent James backers might be guilty of forgetting how damn good Jordan was. Meanwhile, those who refuse to entertain the idea that James is better than Jordan may be guilty of excessive nostalgia.

After all, there was once another young player who, like James, entered the NBA to expectations that hed eventually be among the best to ever play. He was a , some said. His own coach called notions that he was better than the likes of Julius Erving, a player hed never gone up against, heresy. Yes, the thought that in 1984, Jordan-then a twig of a 21-year-old rookie-could one day surpass Erving was probably pretty inconceivable. Its hard in this day and age of athletics to compare anyone to Julius, on or off the court, then-Bulls coach Kevin Loughery told the in a profile of the promising but untested guard out of North Carolina. No one else is even close.

But every generation makes way for the next one, which builds on the successes of its forebears. James acknowledged Jordans influence after breaking his idols record: You guys have no idea what MJ did for me and my friends growing up, James said after the game, another Lakers loss, on Wednesday. I thank MJ more than he would ever know.

You guys have no idea what MJ did for me and my friends growing up. ... I thank MJ more than he would ever know." - <a href="https://twitter.com/KingJames?ref_src=twsrc^tfw" id="013690bb-6770-32e1-a309-24713453d616"> @KingJames </a> after passing Michael Jordan on the all-time scoring list <a href="https://t.co/qBhXihINpi" id="461ae565-7122-3cc9-a331-3867c3995aa9"> pic.twitter.com/qBhXihINpi </a> - SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) <a href="https://twitter.com/SportsCenter/status/1103553295577174017?ref_src=twsrc^tfw" id="6444c955-2551-3401-a967-623063e3793b"> March 7, 2019 </a>

LeBron James or Michael Jordan: Who’s the GOAT?

LeBron James on Wednesday night   Michael Jordan on the all-time NBA scoring list, inevitably triggering a debate thats been going on among basketball fans-on television and in blogs, in bleachers and in bars-for what feels like a hundred years now:

Im struggling with this loss and am having a hard time with my thoughts, she wrote in an emotional Instagram post Tuesday. Processing this is impossible right now.

Perry, 52, was rushed to the hospital last Wednesday after suffering a massive stroke at his Los Angeles home. He passed away Monday.

Hed been starring on Riverdale as Fred Andrews, the father of protagonist Archie Andrews, at the time of his death, and was celebrated for on television, stage, and film over the years, but will almost certainly be best remembered for his iconic turn as bad boy Dylan McKay on 90210. In that role, he was a veritable embodiment of teenage angst-an echo of James Dean for the 1990s.

Doherty starred on the show as Brenda Walsh, one of McKays two main love interests on the program.

There is a special kind of love one has for each other when you are experiencing the journey we did on 90210 and of course life in general, Doherty told Monday, following Perrys death. Luke and I were working on show ideas for us. We wanted to work with each other again and create something special and meaningful for our fans at this stage in our lives.

I will miss him everyday, she added. Every minute. Every second.

Doherty told the publication that while the two initially lost touch after the series ended, they reconnected after the actresss breast cancer diagnosis in 2015. Luke was a smart, quiet, humble and complex man with a heart of gold and never-ending well of integrity and love, said the actress, who has since gone into remission. Luke reached out to me during my cancer journey and we picked right back up, albeit older and wiser, but that connection remained in tact.

His sudden death left her in shock, she told People, saying that the actor considered his family-two children, an ex-wife, and a fiance-his biggest accomplishment.

My heart goes out to his family and friends who were blessed by his light in their (and mine) lives, Doherty posted on social media after his death.

Doherty was part of an outpouring of remembrances of the actor, including from Molly Ringwald, who played Perrys wife on Riverdale.

According to , Ray Liotta is slated to join The Many Saints of Newark cast in an unspecified role in the Sopranos prequel, which will make him one of nearly 30 actors to star in both Goodfellas and the legendary HBO crime drama.

I am thrilled to be working with David Chase and Alan Taylor on The Many Saints of Newark, Liotta said in a statement to the publication. Davids talent is unmatched and the directing of Alan Taylor makes this even more exciting. I respect them both immensely and look forward to making this special project with New Line.

We were already pumped for the forthcoming Sopranos prequel film, but Liottas addition to the cast makes us even more excited.

Liotta, who grew up in Newark, is a perfect fit for the flick. As real-life mobster Henry Hill in Martin Scorceses Goodfellas, hes tough but human-just like the mobsters in Tony Sopranos orbit.

The Many Saints of Newark, which is still in pre-production, is set during the 1960s and will serve as a kind of origin story for Tony Soprano-the protagonist of the seminal HBO series. Michael Gandolfini is , the role his late father-James Gandolfini, who died in 2013-made famous.

Liotta had been considered a role in the original series, but never appeared on the show-but 27 others who also appeared in Goodfellas did. The film is being written by creator David Chase and will be directed by Alan Taylor, who helmed several episodes of the iconic series.

The HeForShe campaign video was part of a new healthcare initiative from

<a href="https://www.timesupnow.com/" id="62f18582-79bc-307e-a4fa-c48bd0984f42"> TIMES UP </a> , which announced Thursday that it was launching an effort to transform outdated systems of power in the medical industry.

The problem is disturbingly widespread: In 2018, <a href="https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/workforce/1-in-3-nurses-have-reported-sexual-harassment-by-physicians-no-action-taken-74-of-the-time.html" id="c4367d1f-9ab0-3311-ab50-a8899994d546"> a survey of 6,200 physicians and clinicians </a> found that more than 10 percent of nurses, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants had experienced sexual harassment within the previous three years. One-third of nurses and nurse practitioners said they had dealt with sexual harassment by a physician.

As an emergency room physician, I am trained to advocate for my patients and ensure that they are getting the best treatment and care possible, Dr. Dara Kass, a founding member of TIMES UP Healthcare, said in a statement Thursday. Im committing to using these same skills to fight for my colleagues and peers, because just like our patients, every healthcare employee deserves a workplace where they can thrive-free of harassment and abuse with equal opportunity to grow and prosper.

The initiative is affiliated with the TIMES UP Foundation, a nonprofit seeking safe, fair and dignified work for women of all kinds. The foundation was borne of the <a href="https://www.menshealth.com/trending-news/a22866485/me-too-movement-anniversary/" id="ed411793-2dde-317f-acd4-5a35b5835f7e"> #MeToo movement </a> , which has driven a cultural reckoning over unchecked sexual misconduct and abuse of power by powerful men in the entertainment industry and beyond.

TIMES UP Healthcare is backed by top medical systems, including Yale Medical School and the Mayo Clinic, as well as prominent medical organizations like the American College of Physicians.

In launching the initiative, TIMES UP Healthcare also released a video of male medical professionals describing having witnessed female colleagues endure harassment, disrespect, and even assault-and seeing little or nothing change in response to complaints. The medical professionals in the HeForShe video call for systemic changes to healthcare culture, including putting more women in leadership positions.

Healthcare cant afford to have toxic environments, one healthcare professional says.

As a recent revealed, if youre like a lot of guys, you probably do some kind of nod-a subtle, some say instinctive nonverbal greeting you may not even be aware youre performing. Its a small, platonic gesture jam-packed with semiotic meaning-a sign of mutual respect, of friendly recognition, of acknowledging anothers presence without being too pushy.

Some guys seem to do it consciously as a way of communicating regard, diffusing tension, or simply saying hello without needing to stop and chat. Others may do it without even thinking about it, almost as a reflex. It can be done for the most seemingly mundane of reasons, like noticing that someone has the same headphones as you, or it can be done as a meaningful show of recognition and support, as is the case with some men of color who say they sometimes use a version of <a href="https://medium.com/matter/the-nod-a-subtle-lowering-of-the-head-to-another-black-person-in-an-overwhelmingly-white-place-e12bfa0f833f" id="29c68055-6ca8-378c-ae93-aaab53876065"> the nod </a> to acknowledge one another in primarily white spaces. In any case, it can be a complicated gesture, one whose meaning can change for some based on the circumstances and the subtlest of nuances.

It makes you feel that theres a connection, body language expert Patti Wood told Mens Health by phone. This is a ritual you can do from a distance that still has some purpose to it.

Given the subtle nature of the Silent 'Sup, it would be completely understandable if you werent aware it was a thing. I hadnt given much thought to this oddity of male behavior until last week, when I saw a popular Reddit thread on /AskMen. It asked: "Why do we nod at each other when making eye contact with random dudes?

That simple query generated a massive response, as was the case when Men's Health deputy digital editor Jordyn Taylor posed <a href="https://twitter.com/jordynhtaylor/status/1098949898903277568" id="303c5017-da09-35a7-a914-6ef143572e64"> a similar question on Twitter </a> . The responses came flooding in-some from guys who said they do it, but can't put their finger on why.

lol I do this sometimes and I have no idea why - Keith Wagstaff (@Kwagstaff) <a href="https://twitter.com/Kwagstaff/status/1099010204434194432?ref_src=twsrc^tfw" id="717705ba-39cc-3a74-a9ef-1500b0421272"> February 22, 2019 </a>

Others, seeking to explain the phenomenon, suggested it's a simple nonverbal hello-and nothing more.

A nod is a hey whats up. So instead of saying it cause as you know men like to be nonverbal. We just nod - Terrence (@T3putts) <a href="https://twitter.com/T3putts/status/1098952105497378817?ref_src=twsrc^tfw" id="a4c51517-5075-395c-a4b0-8c35cbb91766"> February 22, 2019 </a>

But others viewed it as something deeper, a callback to some primal, animal instinct latent in men.

Every man sizes up every other dude in the room always. (Similar to women I think but not for same reason). A nod is a sign of respect (makes you equal) If a tiger or marauding band comes through, we got this shit. It 's primal! - Micah Gilchrist (@XPTmicah) <a href="https://twitter.com/XPTmicah/status/1098985640241303553?ref_src=twsrc^tfw" id="b31e0f56-78a5-3536-ae17-015264510a5c"> February 22, 2019 </a>

Nodding at another man is like a combination of respect, and, frankly, disarmament, Adrian Fontes told Mens Health in a Twitter message. Because men are wired to fight each other, this simple gesture clears all tension and gives the other permission to relax.

According to Wood, theres something to both interpretations.

Sometimes, youre nodding to say, See you there, but I dont want to stop and have a conversation, she said. So instead of it being a signal that would indicate you want conversation...youre closing off deeper or more lengthy interaction.

But, Wood said, it can also be loaded with primordial symbolism-a desire, conscious or not, to convey alpha status. To protect your neck by either nodding downward or not nodding at all, she said, can indicate vulnerability. To nod upward, by contrast, can signal confidence and power.

If you watched a nature show, you would see this, she said.

In messages to Mens Health, guys echoed Woods assessments, suggesting this is more of a thing than wed previously thought, and that many men feel a great deal can be intuited from the gesture.

Its a subtle acknowledgment of: a) hey I know you, how's it going b) similar likes ie sports teams or the motorcycle riders c) kudos for being in the company of someone way out of your league in a dating situation all silent versions of Will Farrell and John C Riley <a href="https://t.co/6DqYGgVu2f" id="5ecb87fd-201b-33b4-a646-e42df344006e"> pic.twitter.com/6DqYGgVu2f </a> - Al Grant (@MrAlGrant) <a href="https://twitter.com/MrAlGrant/status/1098952724954185732?ref_src=twsrc^tfw" id="102208a3-5578-30e1-a807-b07c64d3ba00"> February 22, 2019 </a>

It's an acknowledgement that eye contact was made and all's cool. Watch closely, if one nods and the other does not, well, that probably means a vicious Kung Fu fight is about to break out. I do not know Kung Fu so I am very grateful that all my nods have been returned thus far. - David Hart (@real_davehart) <a href="https://twitter.com/real_davehart/status/1098954591599804417?ref_src=twsrc^tfw" id="f09ef6fa-938a-31d4-a9b0-ff05a451aef3"> February 22, 2019 </a>

Just yesterday I was going down the escalator as another guy was going up and he nodded AT me, but not TO me, and mouthed the words "nice shoes" so I said "Thanks! They're Cole Haan" and he was taken aback by my words."Oh, you saw what I said?" Weird, or maybe I am? - Eric Zerkel (@EricZerkel) <a href="https://twitter.com/EricZerkel/status/1098975390352265216?ref_src=twsrc^tfw" id="c2fffc56-c888-3c43-a084-718f9bc2ee52"> February 22, 2019 </a>

I head nod as a matter of respect for invading their personal space, Silent Supper Mike Collins told us in an email. If I am walking towards someone and we are within 10 feet of each other, I give them a nod. This is like a, Good day. Sorry for being this close to you. I am friendly. We dont need to fight.'

The nod can also take on slightly different meanings depending on the method and context, it seems.

Marcus Helton, a basketball journalist, told Mens Health that he used a head nod during a trip to Asia years back to acknowledge the only four other black guys he encountered during his three-week excursion abroad.

Its a way of acknowledging each others presence and knowing theres backup if some shit goes down, Helton joked in a Twitter direct message.

Derek K. Hubbard, a social media specialist, is from the South; he explained the nod as being part of a kind of Southern hospitality-an acknowledgement of both male and female passersby.

Showing a little kindness to our fellow neighbors can go a long way in helping others feel seen and appreciated, Hubbard told Mens Health in a Twitter message.

While several respondents to our informal survey indicated that a Silent 'Sup can occur among people of any gender, there is a sense that its more of a guy thing.

According to Dr. Lillian Glass, a prominent body language expert, part of the reason for the Silent Sup could be mens tendency to communicate more nonverbally than verbally.

Studies in gender difference research show that women use more words than men to communicate so a head nod is a typically male response towards agreement or approval, Glass told Men's Health in an email.

Thats not to say women cant also Silent Sup, or that women dont nod at all. Its just that they might nod for different reasons, according to Glass. Their nods may not necessarily indicate agreement but may just be a signal to keep talking, Glass said. It is a female gesture of politeness.

For at least some men, the nod appears to be something different-and replete with all sorts of little nuances. Some, for instance, have suggested that an up-nod, which leaves the neck vulnerable, is a move reserved for those you know and trust, while the more protective down-nod is for strangers. Others have posited that its a move guys make in recognition of common interests.

Ben will subtly nod if someone is wearing the same headphones - Kate Bratskeir (@Kbratskeir) <a href="https://twitter.com/Kbratskeir/status/1098951253198016512?ref_src=twsrc^tfw" id="dc8367fe-f588-3600-aa51-8d5a23d636c6"> February 22, 2019 </a>

Omg my dad is a motorcycle guy and all of the motorcycle guys do this weird motionless wave thing - Kevin (@kwprime) <a href="https://twitter.com/kwprime/status/1098951144435519488?ref_src=twsrc^tfw" id="1eda85ad-885b-34a9-aba2-95b3399b6163"> February 22, 2019 </a>

Im honestly still a little unsure of what to make of the Silent 'Sup-at least as it pertains to its more macho manifestations. If youre nodding at me on the street to prove youre more dominant than me, dont strain your neck-Im not fighting some animal instinct to fight you, I promise.

That said, there is something pleasant about the idea of acknowledging our fellow humans as we go about the business of our day-particularly for those of us who live in cities, where full-on hellos to total strangers can be a little much. I think I agree with Silent Supper J.C. Barraza, who told us in a Twitter message that he [nods] to be nice. Its such a polarized society, Barraza wrote us, and its so easy to be courteous &amp; nice.

A simple nod goes a long way to making someones day slightly better, he said, or less worse.

Youre walking down the street and make eye contact with a dude going the opposite way-what do you do?

Let's Talk About the Silent 'Sup—or When Guys Feel the Need to Nod at Each Other Public

But, as a new Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel report by Soledad OBrien reveals, that quest for the perfect body can often lead to a dark place.

The segment, which airs on HBO Tuesday, addresses the often-overlooked subject of eating disorders among male athletes-an issue far more common than you might think. As OBrien reports, a third of those dealing with an <a href="https://www.menshealth.com/health/a20733953/male-eating-disorders-muscle-dysmorphia/" id="1e5b2972-ca73-3cdf-abac-a6a803de73a2"> eating disorder </a> are men-and athletes are especially at risk.

As the report highlights, the hyper-competitiveness that drives top-tier athletes to greatness can also be seen in the way some athletes struggle with eating disorders.

What makes you a great, elite athlete can also make you great, if you will, at having an eating disorder, O Brien told Mens Health in a phone interview Monday.

Not only that, but the intense training and diet elite athletes follow anyway can sometimes make it difficult for athletes and those around them to recognize disordered behavior, blurring the line between unhealthy nutrition and commendable commitment to the sport.

[Being an elite athlete] also probably helps disguise it a little bit, OBrien said. I think what can first be read as commitment eventually becomes dedication gone horribly wrong.

That was the case for Logan Davis, a former goalie for the Ohio State University hockey team. OBrien reports in the segment that the netminder was a standout player for the Buckeyes, but was privately struggling with an eating disorder. As he tells OBrien in the segment, he felt he was lauded by his coaches and teammates as he cycled between starving himself and binge eating in an effort to perfect his body.

Its a very lonely feeling, Davis tells the journalist in the segment.

For Maggie Burbank, who produced the Real Sports segment, that lonely feeling underscores the stigma and taboo that can keep male athletes suffering with such disorders in silence.

Were starting to see the needle move a little bit, Burbank said. People are opening up more about it. But its still so taboo to talk about this. Its going to take a lot more people talking about it.

It might not be surprising that high-level athletes could be vulnerable to such dangerous habits. These are competitive people seeking every competitive edge they can get, and rely on highly-regimented training and diet programs to be at the top of their game. As OBrien observes in an interview with Dr. Paula Quatromoni, a nutritionist who specializes in eating disorders among athletes, plenty of people would say thats a good thing.

Its a good thing until it goes to a dark place, Quatromoni says in the segment.

As the segment notes, the problem may have been worsened by an increasingly competitive sports culture and the rise of so-called bro-science, which has been criticized for promoting unrealistic body expectations and dangerous behavior online.

It makes it really, really challenging for people who are obsessed with it, Burbank said.

Whats more, despite advances in sports science and training, many athletes-particularly younger ones-are in need of a greater understanding of nutrition.

We put such an emphasis on the performance of these bodies, Burbank said, but we dont spend a whole lot of time thinking about what we put into them.

Things may be improving on that front, OBrien and Burbank said, but theres still a lot more work to be done. Male athletes with eating disorders need more resources focused directly on them, and both the athletes and those in the sports culture around them need greater awareness of the issue.

And that, OBrien and Burbank said, begins with open dialogue about these athletes struggles.

I think its a lot about conversation, OBrien told Mens Health. These are great athletes. These are not weekend warriors. These guys are among the best. And it really gives you a sense that, if this is happening even with these folks, this problem is probably bigger than we understand it to be and not talked about enough.

Why Male Athletes Are at Risk for Eating Disorders

Athletes often follow intense training and diet regimens to prepare their bodies to compete at the highest level of their sports.

All of us have to recognize that being a man is first and foremost being a good human, the former president said. If youre confident about your strength, you dont need to show me by putting somebody else down.

Show me by lifting somebody else up, he added.

The spot-on remarks came during a talk with Curry at a conference for the former presidents , which he launched five years ago to address persistent opportunity gaps faced by boys and young men of color and ensure that all young people can reach their full potential.

In the talk, he and Curry-Michelles husband and Ayeshas husband, as the two introduced themselves-warned against outdated notions of masculinity and called on young men to be better.

The notion that somehow defining yourself as a man is dependent on, are you able to put somebody else down...able to dominate...that is an old view, Obama said, acknowledging that the issue can be more complicated for young men of color, who may feel compelled to compensate due to racist systems that tell them theyre less than.

Ironically, that shows the vulnerability you feel, Obama said, noting how tropes in popular culture can sometimes send misleading messages about masculinity. If you were confident about your sexuality, you dont have to have eight women around you twerking...you seem stressed that you gotta be acting that way.

Curry, too, offered strong advice, calling for men to seek out spaces where they can be open about their feelings, which the Golden State Warriors guard said he finds in the locker room.

The remarks by the pair came amid something of a cultural reckoning on toxic masculinity, particularly as the #MeToo movement continues to pull back the curtain on how prominent men have abused positions of power-and how the culture at large had protected them from accountability. The comments received praise for delving into how men can improve.

Just enough 90s nostalgia without overdoing it. Brie Larson is great. Ditto Sam Jackson &amp; Ben Mendelsohn. Goose the cat is purr-fect. Some nice surprises and clever decisions throughout. Cool sci-fi elements. And funny!

The Captain Marvel First Reactions Are in—Here's What Critics Are Saying

For reasons that remain foggy, the Fox News host bragged on the television Sunday that he has not washed his hands in approximately a decade-and attributed the fact that he rarely gets sick to his poor hygiene.

I dont think Ive washed my hands for ten years, Hegseth said on Fox &amp; Friends on Sunday, to the apparent horror of his co-hosts and normal, non-disgusting human beings everywhere. I dont really wash my hands ever.

Fox News <a href="https://twitter.com/PeteHegseth?ref_src=twsrc^tfw" id="4958cbe6-06f0-33bc-a7ca-f6016a424f53"> @PeteHegseth </a> admits, unprompted, that he hasnt washed his hands in 10 years. Germs are not a real thing, Pete says. I cant see them, therefore theyre not real. <a href="https://t.co/9hsAb9YA9j" id="9a47a5d5-5d7b-3edb-ad83-2e8190714f55"> pic.twitter.com/9hsAb9YA9j </a> - Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) <a href="https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1094741186483548160?ref_src=twsrc^tfw" id="c7ad0f4e-2fdb-38c5-a276-b387dcc22212"> February 10, 2019 </a>

The bizarre admission, which has since earned him deserved mockery across the internet, apparently came after his co-hosts chided him for eating pizza off-camera that had been left out since the day before. He copped to downing some slices, saying that pizza lasts for a long time. Emboldened, perhaps, after admitting his love for probably stale food, he announced his resolution to say things on air that I say off air -which, it seems, includes the fact that he has apparently not washed his hands since roughly 2009.
