i agree with your logic, however there is a problem with it in todays warped society.
If i walk up to a woman and give her a hug, i could loose my job do to misconduct in the work place or be taken to court for sexual harrasment. (in basically any other situation)
And while i have no problem giving another man a hug (hug friends after a long time without seeing them, hug family) if i were to give a man a hug who wasnt a close friend or family member i could be labeled and threatened.
its a sad world we live in

I love that you posted this! Just last night a friend of my husband's held his arms out for a hug and I hesitated because I didn't know how others would take it. I felt that some might see it as inappropriate (me being a married female and he a male). I felt ridiculous as I hugged him awkwardly. I am the type of person who WANTS to hug all the time, but I stop myself because I fear some won't like it. I even want to kiss people too, on the cheek of course.
You made me want to do it more again! Haha thanks!edit on 13-10-2010 by Ellie Sagan because: (no reason given)
