I have found quite a few times especially with people who have low intelligence that they tend to come right up in to your face when they are arguing with you , why do they do this?
I assume they do it to intimidate but I cant say I find it very intimidating , I just find it stupid , it looks almost as if they are trying to kiss you so why do it?
Does anyone know why? When I say directly in your face I mean like where their nose is almost touching yours and they are looking directly at you , what is the point? Whenever strangers start fights with me they almost always do this so is it instinctual , a learned behaviour from seeing others in their social grouping doing the same or what?

Yes, I think they do it for the intimidation factor and somehow think that by doing so, they can drive their point home. However I don't think it has as much to do with intelligence as it has temper, as I have seen some intelligent people do this too. Some people are just not so good with communicating their differences in a calm and controlled manner.

Intimidation...and just incase it doesn't work out, they're hoping they give you some sort of viral disease cuz of all the spit that is coming out of their mouth as they are trying to make any sort of sense by being that close to you..or secretly their thinking..."man...i wish i could kiss you right now...but i'm too scared to make a move...fear of rejection...." ::shrug::

i think to stare right into you're eyes and focus on you and you to focus on them. makes the atmosphere more tense and emotional
