buddy I’m a furry I’ll hug strangers
I will reciprocate hugs.
I don’t like snuggling.
Playful wrestling gets really close to other acts to establish dominance that I don’t want to do with my friends.
I’m glad yall have good people in your life. Every single person in my life is a liability.
Just another person to fuck you over. Just another obligation to be maintained. Just another human.
No and no. Good handshake and quick 1 handed hug is all I want.
No & no.
Sounds a bit gay
it’s gay to have sex with a man, as a man. everything else is just being a person :p
This comment is even gayer.
😘
Perhaps we’re all a bit gay
Snuggling? Uh, that’s a hard no. I can’t imagine that. I’d be extremely uncomfortable.
Hugging? Yup, lots of hugging in my friends and family.
I don’t wish for more physical affection among males, seems good as is.
I dislike touching people or being touched. Not that I have a phobia is suffer from, I just don’t like it and try to avoid it when possible. So no, I am not physically affectionate with other friends (male or female alike).
Before there was a pandemic, touching people for welcome or goodbye was common (i.e “shaking hands”). But fortunately this is no longer the case. There are still some disrespectful and non-considerate persons around who want to touch you just to say hello, but they’re in the minority.
Hugging is cool. I’m not wanting beyond that from my male friends.
I am a boomer.
No. No
Why?
I prefer women for physical affection.
I do, too, but I’ll take a good hug from anyone I know and care about. I’ve noticed my male friends who are black seem to add a hug into a handshake far far, far more often than my white male friends. In fact, other than my oldest friend, I don’t think any of my white male friends have ever hugged me.
An occasional hug if we are drunk enough, and I don’t want anything more than that.
I’m a big hugger. I wish that there was more affection between men, I often worry I’m making other men uncomfortable and then in turn I get uncomfortable about it. The whole thing makes me far more stressed than I wish it did honestly.
There’s one guy in my little group of friends who is an unapologetic hugger, even though the rest of us don’t really hug he’ll always hug everyone goodbye. I’d say it’s possible some guys don’t enjoy it, but I actually really appreciate it about him, it’s nice getting a hug and sometimes I really need one.
For anyone who really doesn’t like it they can always offer their hand first, but on behalf of all the guys who need a little affection from their buds sometimes I wanna say thanks for being there for the friends who need it. Even if they never say so I’m sure some of them appreciate it.
I’ve been watching Bridgerton lately and it took me too long to realize that “offering their hand” meant handshake.
Like, how is proposing less familiar than hugging?
My sister’s partner is like that. His whole family is the same, from what I could see. It’s not as natural for me, despite my family not being particularly cold either. It’s a me problem, though, so IMHO it shouldn’t deter you. Keep normalizing that shit.
Eons ago, in my twenties, some friends and I had a party. There were a lot of people there, so it was pretty crowded in the couch.
A friend of mine arrived, and he was having trouble finding a place to sit, so I sat back and told him half as a joke “You always have a seat in my lap”. He took me up on the offer.
After a while of him sitting there, both of us enjoying the spectacle around the table, one of us (I don’t remember who) said:
“This was surprisingly pleasant”
We’re both straight dudes.No, I don’t have close friends. I prefer not to touch or be touched anyway, particularly by other men.
I don’t mind if it became more socially acceptable, probably would be healthier overall. As long as it’s also acceptable to be able to request no touching.
Yes. And yes.
