I appreciate your good advise, derekimo. Worked like a charm in another thread.

I always say, you are never too old to learn something new.

The problem is at my age, i learn 1 thing new and then forget 2 things.

In England close male friends will often hug, especially if they haven't seen each other for a while or on parting. It's not usual to hug acquaintances or people you've just met.
Shaking hands seems to be dying out apart from formal meetings/introductions such as a new colleague or job interviews.
Actually , it's more usual for men to hug men than for men to hug women friends. This would be interpreted as a bit "touchy feely" or as an overture leading to intimacy.
We're a funny lot really

I think society here in the USA has been the cause for MEN not hugging as easily ,
because of the social stigma they pushed on Men.. well meaning or not... it's hard to break
out of it.. however I'm seeing more MEN hugging... it's happening more and more the past years.. which is a very good thing. I agree, secure men DO hug other Men!!!
There's nothing like a hug.. nothing else can take it's place in our lives.

We all need to get and give hugs.. in fact it makes us better people.

Completely disagree. Hugging has nothing to do with how good a person you are.
People are different, some people are way to shy to go around hugging everyone.
We all show affection in different ways, I don't really like being hugged by people I don't know well, it makes me uncomfortable and it surely doesn't make me think that they are good persons.
I prefer getting a hug from my mom

Never really understood the hug thing. I mean with women, ok. That is much more natural. but two guys?
I mean when it's on a soccer field after a goal i get it, or when you get really happy about something.
It's just stupid to go around hugging every living thing. Do it like men, the handshake.

Where I live well adjusted [real] men can & do hug..

Not to mention that the whole 'free hug thing' was started by an Aussie...

I think well adjusted men can and do hug where ever. They can and do live all over.

I agree JW there is that whole handshake protocol thing going on. I dont think I have shaken a hand in years.

Well I guess I have to explain. The whatever bit varies by who is hugged. Was asked by a user who speaks english as a second language so in the interest of international communications I wanted to make that clear. {grin}

Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Shaking hands carries a much higher risk of transmitting germs than a hug.

Plus, since it's a dying art amongst some, there are some pretty piss weak handshakers out there. A lot of woman can give plenty of men a run for their money in the 'decent handshake' department.

Sometimes you have to quickly double check you haven't grabbed their limp noodle by accident... honestly, it's liking shaking hands with a squid at times

Let's revive this thread...
I cannot imagine anyone not loving a hug.. unless it's from someone you don't really care for at all....never been there.. never done that..[ATTACH]100957[/ATTACH]

I agree with you Lady P! Everyone needs hugs and we should be reminded of that occasionally. More hugs makes the world a better place!
