I'm with Charlatan here. I'm not very touchy, but all hugs are welcome.

Haven't posted in here in quite awhile. Anyway.

When I hug any guy, it's like half hug half pat on the back. Never really hugged a man like I would a woman, but meh. Just two different feelings I guess.

That's hilarious. I've never heard it described quite that way before. I don't hug or even touch most people, but when I feel I have to, that's how I do it. Except for my husband and kids. They get alot of full-on hugs, and I think I tend to overwhelm them.

I hug my friends when I see them after a long time away. I don't find it gay at all. Here in Argentina men kiss eachother on the cheek instead of shaking hands. It may seem "gay" but it's not as if the men kissing are sexually attracted to one another, it's all a matter of cultural perception.

some of it is cultural.

Like, I dunno, the rock n roll crowd is all about thier image of being hardcore rebels, hugging might not fit so well there.

but if you go to a rave, everyone expects a damned hug (almost annoyingly so)

then the hip hop crowd... heh.. I'm not even gonna go there. You might get shot.

MrFriendly

LOL

Well copious amounts of ecstasy floating around would do that at the "Annual convention of macho men against man hugs"

Whenever i hug other dudes, it's really nothing more than a contrived means for me to press my junk firmly against their waistline. If that's gay, well then i guess if the shoe fits...

Raves are the perfect reason why cops should have flamethrowers instead of pistols or clubs.

Among me and my friends here in Denmark it's sort of the only thing we do. A hand shake is too formal and business man-like, doing some sort of high five one or the other way will always come off as a bunch of white guys trying to be "gangsta cool", a slap in the butt is a bit... well, uncalled for. Simply nodding or something else to each other seems cold. Anyway, I guess among most leftist youngsters here in Denmark it's just what we do, gay implications aren't really that important to us, though the right-wing crowd are just as psycho about it as the right-wing crowd in the US.

I don't do man hugs. some of my good friends will initiate the handshake/back pat thing, and I'll participate out of social obligation, but its uncomfortable.

I'll actually initiate a hug with female friends, but its definitely a conscious decision.

I never really hugged people growing up. I would give my mom the sideways one arm hug every now and then, never hugged my dad.
