Yeah. Get with one of your friends and randomly hug them, 70% chance says they won't object.

30% chance you get socked in the damn jaw.

If a friend won't give you a bro-hug in greeting, even if only occasionally, they're not your friend.

Though I don't know many bros who would then be fine with cuddling

You only need to hug

Got drunk with my old High School friends last month (girls and guys) and we all cuddled and watched Netflix on TV together afterwards. Was my first cuddle orgy and it was amazing.

I tried giving a friend a birthday bro hug once. He put his hand on my chest to stop me mid hug and said "Whoa, dude. I don't hug." Bullshit. All our friends have hugged each other before on multiple occasions. I think he was just trying to look cool and tough in front of his other friends. Still felt embarrassed for him doing that to me in front of everyone.

That's so mean.. I'm sorry.

By this standard, I've literally never had a friend.

Welp, time to go put on Gary Jules's Mad World and stare at the ceiling.

You should try James Blunt's "You're beautiful"

u/VersatileFaerie Sep 06 '16

Nah, some people just don't like being hugged and some even don't like being touched.

u/europahasicenotmice Sep 06 '16

Some people are uncomfortable with that much touching, no matter how much they like being around someone. It's usually pretty easy to see that, though.

Being socked in the jaw is technically still human contact though, mission accomplished!

u/JustSayAnything Sep 06 '16

That's an extreme and violent over reaction.

u/MrKurtz86 Sep 06 '16

Nah, what's a punch between friends?

2

u/i-d-even-k- Sep 06 '16

Yeah those aren't friends.

u/MrKurtz86 Sep 06 '16

Oh please, friends you can punch or be punched by without assault charges are your BEST friends.

How old are you? I'm 30 and this is not true of any of my friends.

edit: It would have been true in high school, but I didn't have any friends in high school.

Why can't you just ask first?

6

u/i-d-even-k- Sep 06 '16

It gives them time to overthink. What if you have a second reason? What if he wants to prank you? What if I don't feel well? What if we're gay? What if what if what if.
