@achewood My bicycle is parked in the living room. A tub of tartar sauce sits open on the counter. Truly, the evidence of a wife being away too long.

im feeling a group hug sort of vibe.

speaking of:

any dudes here that hate hugging dudes?

personally, i roll with whatever.  cool-guy nod.  handshake.  thug-hug.  also, burly manhugs dont make me uncomfortable, either(unless it lasts too long and/or he tries to put his hands on my areas).

But that's too much like Mommy trying to reassure me that one day I'll be able to drink from a big boys cup and sit at the adults table and makes things worse.

So this. It's like, if you fail at something you need an equal achievement to balance it out, being told your failure is alright (the implication being it is expected) does not help my fragile man-ego.

Maximum happiness. (I need that handmade coupon sooner rather than later, apparently.)

I'm pretty good at doing manly stuff I think.  I've been doing a lot of it the last few days modifying my artcar.  It feels good to get my hands dirty again, it's been awhile. 

And yeah, chicks are impressed when a man knows how to use his hands, but it's not the only thing that matters.

"burly manhugs dont make me uncomfortable, either(unless it lasts too long and/or he tries to put his hands on my areas)."

plus, clothing is mandatory.

My best friend recently mentioned casually that he and his father still trade kisses.  On the mouth areas.  My inner 7th grader was horrified.  I'm a hugger through and through, but damn dude, this is Texas, not Luxembourg.

"Thug-hug" gets a can. 've nothing against hugging dudes or kissing them occasionally on the cheeks, but not the mouth. This is not Russia, fuck it. I have a male friend who says goodbye to his father on the phone saying "kisses, dad". That's fuck*ng weird.

That is weird, I have never kissed my dad on the mouth, even as a little kid, and the last time I kissed him on the cheek was at my wedding 8 years ago.

We are not "touchy" people in general, though. My in-laws are, and it was hard to get used to.

My mom and dad and sister and I still do mouth-kisses, but just at the corner of the mouth; nearly a cheek kiss.  It's weird, maybe, but we've done it forever.  We've moved the kiss-plant point farther from the center of the mouth the older everyone gets.

This concept of (straight) dudes kissing dudes in any way is stunning. I have seriously never seen this in anything but movies about italian people or prison. The bro-grab is always welcome, and I have been known to engage in a hug with a friend I have not seen in over a year. But kissing? I had no idea this was going on.

i kiss my guy friends full-on closed-mouth when they surprise me with a gift or especially grand bon mot, in part to return the surprise. just grab cheeks, pull, and a quick smooch. i'd never do this with my lady friends because they'd totally take it the wrong way.

also, i don't do this very often. maybe one guy-kiss a year, tops. it's a humor weapon i don't pull out very often due to its difficulty at execution.

I tell my brothers and dad that I love them as part of the phone hang up process - we hug and stuff in person, but definitely no kissing.  I have an uncle who just finished chemo for colon cancer who clearly realized that expressing familial love is something he should do - he was pretty man's-man, old Irish-standofgiraffe before and is suddenly a lot more new-agey hugs & eye-contact.  I sincerely doubt that a kiss would be welcome even with him however.

One time Pedro kissed a dude for an acting class. Straight-up for-reals (faux)romantic*-type kiss. I didn't get to see it, but DAMN I wish I had, because it will never happen again, and I bet it was super-hot.

That's when he knew for sure he was 100% straight.
