Is it mostly just a regional/cultural thing, or is it more linked to personality type? What would be the foibles, vulnerabilities, and weaknesses of such a person? I mean aside from wasting energy due to all the excess side-to-side motion, and perhaps ankle-knee-joint problems later in life.
I'm not talking about the normal guy who walks with a little extra pep after he wins the big game, gets the big date, etc. I'm talking about the guy whose entire torso seems to rotate almost 180 degrees, usually with elbows jutting out, just walking to go to the restroom or to go to lunch.
Anyone have any insight for me?
Read the book, What Every BODY Is Saying, an ex-FBI agent's guide to Speed-Reading people, by Joe Navarro. It may enable you to better recognize the body language in context of what you are trying to discern.
As an aside I had a former boss of department some years back, who, upon taking over a lead role for a department of 130 plus employees and other contract partners state, upon his first 'all hands' meeting that he wanted all his employees to have a 'swagger'. It cracked me up. The guy lasted about three years after his swagger got him a 'dressing down/ slap down' from the corporate suite types. Too long of story to share.
Moral of story don't try to assert oneself into the top sphere pretentiously, and also don't let your swagger entice you to cheat on wife and kids. Last heard he was divorced and job hunting (with swagger- of course!).

Joe Navarro didn't impress me all that much when he offered his sporadic commentary on poker tells for the ESPN telecast of the 2012 World Series of Poker. Detracted from the telecast, in fact, IMO, as all his insights seemed to be inextricably intertwined with the 20/20-ness of hindsight. Always-entertaining Norman Chad made a few cracks at his expense that were along these lines.
Would've been much more interesting if he was forced to offer live (slightly tape-delayed) commentary on say the final table.
no one walks with a swagger naturally, ie. he's putting it on, ie. he's probably some insecure, narcissistic idiot with no concept of how silly it makes him look.
There is no one psychological profile for a person who walks with a swagger. How absurd to suggest so.
If you're working with a person like this, be direct, open, honest, and respectful. Don't be discriminatory, condescending, confrontational, or judgmental.
you sound like a ***** ass hater LMAO... youre so jealous of the guy walking with confidence that you have to vent to random people on how much you hate it LMFAO, WUSS

What exactly is an "ass hater"? And have you ever considered using standard punctuation?
