- Greeting everyone I hadn't seen in awhile
- After a great shot
- Random drunk hugs since someone was really happy
- During a game of flip cups
- Saying goodbye
The Man Hug is now a very common practice among men these days. I find myself giving more man hugs to guys that I haven't seen in a long time vs. just shaking their hand.
When did this become the norm?
I just can't seem to picture my grandfather who was a hockey player (back in the days before helmets), fought in WWII, and had Popeye forearms ever giving his friends a man hug.
Some man hugs are acceptable...
Some man hugs are never acceptable...
For now I will go along with the new age and continue to give man hugs when needed. I'll just make sure to try an avoid looking like this when I'm giving one...
