My male dog will often stand beside another dog lift his leg like he is going to urinate and simply present himself and let them sniff him. What is that?

Perfectly normal doggy behaviour. Dogs live in a world of scent and its how they communicate. They leave their pee-mails for others to read and their scent is their own personal signature. It's just that some dogs will present differently just as humans might nod or shake hands and a dogs greeting behaviour may change as it matures.
So don't worry
Hope that helps
