phan a tic 6 Posted January 20, 2017 And I'm not talking about sexually. I'm referring to a greeting or farewell. Twenty years ago you never saw it. Then as time went by, the man on man hug, in lieu of a handshake, was used in very special occasions. And that was appropriate imho. Around 1999 I took my older brother and his wife to the airport after a several days visit with me. I hadn't seen him before that visit in a few years and probably wouldn't again for some time. As I dropped them off at their airlines, I hugged his wife and as I started to hug him, he pulled back and refused the hug. He stated 'men don't hug other men'. I laughed at him and said they do in special occasions. And for me that was how it shouldf be. Special occasions. But now every godam time a handshake is appropriate, I see men hugging and now there's the multiple pat on the back during the hug. The NFL Commissioner hugs every focking draft choice that walks on stage. Seems a bit convoluted. And yesterday, I saw a neighbor at our local Home Depot and a wave or quick hello would have been fine but no, he comes over to me and hugs me. Now it doesn't offend me nor do I mistake it for a sexual advance. It just seems seems over the top. If the hug is the new handshake, what is the new hug? Kissing?

Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted January 20, 2017 The bro hug is much more common than it used to be. I think that is okay in some situations. Definitely not the neighbor or your regular friends. The hugs where he goes behind you and starts humping is really not cool in any situation for me. NTTIAWWT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,649 Posted January 20, 2017 Yeah, the Bro Hug seems to be the new Man-shake. I hate it. But then again, I hate guys who seem to feel the need to shake my hand EVERY FOCKING TIME THEY SEE ME! You know what? I met you before. That's good enough. Really seemed to be much worse in Texas. WTF? I don't know where you focking hand has been. If it's a first time situation - business meeting, meeting your sister's fiance, whatever - fine. I've even known a few guys who - when they get drunk - want to keep shaking my hand over and over again. I think guys who feel the need to shake hands every single time just need some kind of validation. "He's my friend! He shook my hand, See?" ...So if I hate the regular man-shake, I sure as hell hate the jive-hands, chest-bump, hug crap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 5,213 Posted January 21, 2017 Not a fan of the bro hug. I have one friend who does it every. focking. time. we meet. He's a total right brained touchy feely dood; teaches psychology at a CC, does some consulting on positive thinking... the rest of us in the group are engineers/scientists or should have been, it's kinda funny actually. My bro and FIL are not huggers so that is good. Interesting, I'm having breakfast tomorrrow with an old friend from college who is in town for business, haven't seen him in years. I think he might be a hugger. I'll do the proactive shake/grab the right arm with the left, and negotiate for the chest bump. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gocolts 300 Posted January 22, 2017 Big fan of the man hug Me too. Sadly, my dad and son are not fans, so I rarely receive hugs. However, I hug some of my female cousins and most of their children no matter if male or female. I think it mostly has to do with my mom. EVERYONE loved my mom and she touched many lives. Since she died, I have tried to step in like she did, although I am not nearly as good as she was. Actually, one of my cousins and I freaked out the family once. We were very close growing up and had not seen each other in 20 years. Well, we finally saw each other at an event and when I went up to her to give her a hug, somehow, we ended up kissing, ON THE MOUTH. My mother even asked me after the event, "What the hell was that?" I said I had no idea and did not plan that at all. It just happened. She said "Remind me not to leave you two alone again." LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,649 Posted January 23, 2017 I find that virtually every man enjoys a good handy. And, as long you moisturize and trim your nails, it feels pretty much just like a woman-handy. But better. Because we know all the good spots. Really cuts the tension at business meetings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
