Only if its a bro-hug.
Because since I'm a man, I cannot show any sort of emotion unless it involves sports or war.
And at least the forum wasn't dead today.
If i had more time then we could make it 4 arguments.
Oh yeah? Well I think you've got plenty of time, buck-o.
no hard feelins Zb
Cooh.
Only if its a bro-hug.
Is that where you punch each other on the shoulder before hugging, or where you hug but try to cripple the guy by slapping his back while doing so?

Pffft, weak!
I might be a guy, but at least I give real hugs.
Feel free to take on, I have plenty
Also this is the web, anyone who takes it seriously is doing it wrong. These discussions are fun.

nah i think a bro hug is where to guys hug kinda affectionately but tell each other it's 100% Platonic.
To me, the bro-hug is where you shake hands and put your other arm around the other person's shoulder/back. You have to make sure your arms are between your bodies so that there's not any real contact.
That's the way I understand it.

Bro-hugs are funny, especially when there's that little awkward pause in the beginning, where the guys can't quite figure out how to show affection and still appear manly
It's even better when one of them is drunk and forgets how to do it.Anyway, take a big hug from me. Of all the people I could disagree with, you're among my favourites.

Heh. I actually don't have too much of a problem with the Bro Hug ... er, at least the sober kind. It's gets a li'l weird when your Marine buddy is on leave, drunk, huggin' from behind while you're sittin' unaware and givin' ya' stubbly kisses on the cheek. We uhh ... we never got a server in that club again. 'Course that had nothin' to do with hugs an' kisses - they were all sorts of cool with that stuff there. It did, however, have everything to do with a drunken Marine.
We were spending about $80 a round on drinks and we still got no love after that. That's how obnoxious he was. And maybe some of the rest of us, too. ;)As for the hug, I'll take it gladly and return it in kind. You're one of my favorite people 'round here to argue with, too. Hell, I even like agreein' with ya'.

Yep that's a man hug.

Alright, who wants a shank?

The key component of a bro hug is that at no point may the hips/genitals come into closer proximity than is absolutely required.
Yep. Quote 1 + Quote 2. Plus, you are forbidden to make eye-contact on the lead-in to the hug or whisper anything during the hug. That's how I was taught.
You people and your funny little rituals. If you're so uncomfortable with a hug, then a firm handshake can do just fine.
Well, that's how we used to do it. But that wasn't good enough. Now we have to be all *shudder* "in touch with our feelings" and stuff. Personally, I blame women. And the cultural popularity of gay men. Oh, and a lack of saber tooth tigers to club.
Damn missing tigers.

Honesty, some of us don't even do that. I feel put-upon when I have to hug my mother (which she insists on doing every time we see each other). My father and I haven't hugged in over a decade, and we actually live together. The only time I intentionally touch people is when I have to shake hands in church during the whole "peace be with you" thing and hold hands during the "Lord's Prayer".
*Surprise huggles!*
I use the same chest crushing hug on both women and men. The one where you try to physically press them into that metaphorical hole of loneliness in your heart.

Well seeing as how other forms of old fashion greetings/thanks, such as copping a feel and butt patting, is now seen as sexual harassment we've gotta stick to other things. and well. hugging is just ya know. awkward when doing it to another dude.
pretty much all the bro hug is, as kinda mentioned above, is just trying to be affectionate while still looking manly and cool. For the most part it's all just a dumb show.

Dood, we're guys. We know what guys do with their hands. Who wants to get a handful of that?

That's the big reason you have to have the handshake in between your bodies. It acts as a buffer to reduce physical contact and add spacing between the huggers.

Uh, yeah. Women do that with their hands too, ya know. Not to mention this weird little, seldom-heard-of-secret-technique to sanitize one's hands called "washing".

Hmm. You bring up a good point. We should probably try to shake more women's hands. Cuz I wasn't talkin' about the potty.

The thought never crossed my mind.
Edit: No, seriously. My mind jumped straight to mastrubation. Didn't consider going to the bathroom at all.
I don't do hugs unless it involves either crushing bones or the location is on top of a skyscraper during an electrical storm. Those are the only instances I find the activity is even worth participating in...
One at a time... also wait until my pneumatic compressors say it is okay to proceed.
{HUGGLE}
The manly hug that snuggles you close.

Ah. The 'underarm grab' variation amuses me, where you clasp bisceps or something. I bet thats awkward (well, more awkward) if one persons arm is much longer than the others.
Dood, we're guys. We know what guys do with their hands. Who wants to get a handful of that?
So thats the reasoning behind the underarm grab hug!

Well, ya gotta find someplace to wipe it off.

I am older, after all. Each day brings me closer and closer to that last moment in which I will care.
