Don't know, a little off for me...

Don't know, a little off for me...
See, I knew I wasn’t the only one. As a 15 year old kid, you grab a hug from a girl with a C-cup or better, and brother, you’re walking funny the rest of the day if you get my drift. That’s just plain fact.

Men are hugging men more, but rules aren’t always clearly defined
The hug, long reserved for women, celebrating sports victories, and men from other countries, is muscling its way into everyday American Guydom.
Stoic machismo still thrives, but at its heels yaps a touchier, Dr. Phil version of virility. Boundaries are eroding. Defenses are being scaled.
The male hug is complicating everything. Men accustomed to the automatic hand clasp accompanied with a brisk up-and-down pump at dinner parties and college reunions, now must preface their greetings or goodbyes with intricate and split-second calculations based on body language, length of friendship and other factors.
Do I shake or do I hug? Making the right choice matters. If one guy goes for the hug, but the other decides upon a handshake, they might collide. An excruciating dance will follow, as the poor lads work feverishly to determine what to do with their hands, their arms, their bodies. (snip)

LOL!!!!!!!!
Blood relations is one thing, but I agree that this new practice of dudes hugging each other is unsettling.
You have issues, my friend.
They kiss each other, too. Thank God I'm not French.
I thought Italians did it to make sure the other guy wasn't armed, or wearing a wire?
I’d like to see the whole school in a group hug ... what will the principal do? Ban the students for a week? That will sure affect their bottom line ....
Not everyone whose last name ends in a vowel is in the Mafia, man.
Last week I signed my son into school late one morning when classes were changing and there were hundreds of kids in the commons area. I asked him “don’t you want to give your dad a hug and kiss goodbye?” He ran from me like the wind.
High school kids are like that, aren’t they? :>
Who is that?
I noticed lately that teens hang all over each other like a group of Ferrets. Maybe this is a good thing. I dunno.
No, it’s part of the nanny state’s continuation of indoctrination.
If only hugs were all they did...!
At this high school, the kids are always hugging, kissing and making out in the hallway. Even some of the TEACHERS allow themselves to be hugged. I must be old fashioned- when I was a kid, you NEVER let others touch you unless you were “going steady”. Frankly, I would check my pockets if one of these tried to hug me...
One boy came into the room one day and went up and down the aisles kissing all the girls. I told him to stop molesting the ladies and take his seat. The GIRLS acted as if I had taken away their lollipops.
That's OK then. Man-hugging id fine, so long as you cause each other pain while doing it. LOL!
Then you should kiss them, too.
+1
Shake hands heartily, slap him on the back, whatever...easy on the hugging, cowboy. 8^)
Or, they were all raised from 6-weeks-old by sitters who left them in the playpen untouched by human hands for years and years. These may be the only hugs they ever get.
