Psychology of a male who walks with a swagger?

[el_marto]

It's not a natural way to walk --> he's going out of his way to do it --> he has some insecurity on some level, some need to try and impress.

If you're working with a person like this, be direct, open, honest, and respectful. Don't be discriminatory, condescending, confrontational, or judgmental.

Above all, do YOUR job well.

This is the psychology forum. It's OK to discuss the relationship between psychology and swaggering behavior. Odd displays get the attention of other people because it sends a message. I remember from Navarro's book, that the walk of another person contributes to recognizing them at a distance.

If someone walks odd enough, I will wonder what they are thinking. No need to squash this curiosity or demonize it.
