Are males literally always competing for territory? I've been noticing this more lately and am wondering what type of guys do this and what type don't and if it is all subconscious.

I'll be in a club just standing chillin, a guy will come and stand usually with his back towards me literally pressed up against me. He wants me to move, most guys will just step away. I don't move because I was there first and then you have this little almost homoerotic power game going on (he comes and puts his body against yours and won't move). It can last for an uncomfortably long time. What I'm forced to do is acknowledge his presence, shake hands pat on the back whatever then just ignore and he moves away, maybe give him a subtle push during the exchange. It seems once you become a person and not just a movable object he''ll feel strange continuing the little gay battle.

But this seems to extend out of clubs, I now notice it at random places in public, just not with the same close proximity that's common in clubs or bars. What's up with this? I feel no need to move around and spatially intimidate others, it must make them feel good somehow?

How tall are you just out of curiosity? It may be that taller guys are doing this to you because you are short and they want to feel like they are dominating you.
