I'll never forget the time I ran into an old friend of mine and I went to give him a hug and he awkwardly laughed and said uh, no, and shook my hand.

We're still very good friends and we send several texts to each other every week.

But it's a terrible feeling when you instinctively go to hug someone with zero sexual feelings and get instantly and reflexively rejected. I don't blame my friend. I blame our fucked up culture.

'Murica: where we love our guns more than we love our school children. Is it any wonder men can't hug here.

I'm used to hugging my friends, and saying 'Love ya, bud.' I never thought that was weird, as my dad is fairly physically affectionate, until my high school girlfriend had her dad give us a ride. He was absolutely bewildered at the behavior as I said goodbye to my friends.
