How to hug a man?

r/

How do you hug a man that you’re acquaintances with? Apparently the 1 arm butt out hug is worse than a high five, but that’s what i always thought of as the universally acceptable acquaintance hug?

And if you are romantically interested in a guy, should the hug change????

    You’re overthinking this.

    Don’t think about it, just hug however you want to hug.

    Hug normally.

    The only hugs you shouldn’t do are side hugs for ANY interaction.

    First I cup his balls, and then I lean in and lay my head on his shoulders.

    If you are just friends, do a normal hug.

    If you want to date him, do a normal hug and then say “I’d like to date you”

    However you want.

    If he’s sad, I recommend squeezing tighter.

    I would generally not wrap my arms around a non romantic partners neck, that kind of forces your bodies together, but other than that just don’t be pressing uglies together.

    I’ve never hugged a girl before, but I think if she’s just a friend or acquaintance, a normal hug would be a little awkward because of our chests touching, I guess. The side hug seems like a better option

    I typically base all of my hugs (men or women) on the person I’m hugging.

    • If I just met them? I probably won’t go in for a hug. Nothing is worse than someone forcing a hug
    • Surface level friendships? Do the “handshake with hug”.
    • Beyond that? Just go for the full hug. It’s not gay to hug another man, and anyone who says otherwise is too busy fighting their internal struggles with being okay with male-bonding.

    Normal hug plus two to three firm slaps to their back like you’re a dad petting a dog.

    I’ve never had a 1 arm butt out hug. That sounds uncomfortable. Are you okay?

    Some guys don’t hug. Keep that in mind. I tried to give my GF’s dad a “hug” one day as a greeting, just as I have done hundreds if not thousands of times at fraternal events. He pulled away and flatly said, “I don’t hug men.” GF later said her dad is a homophobe. LOL.

    Otherwise, there’s no real difference. Head to the side, a pat on the back and don’t linger. LOL.

    I think you should go for the full front dick smooshing. The tighter the smoosh, the more you show friendship to the person.

    Just get those balls together!

    Over his shoulder then move his hands down to your ass.

    What kind of hug does he need? You can do the one arm lean in or the two arm tight squeeze and shake. It depends. My hugs fit the situation.

    A-frame hug. Don’t grind genitals.

    To start with have the man stand in front of you. Once that happens reach out your arms almost as if you were to t-pose. Approach him and then wrap your arms around him. I’m pretty sure that’s how you hug but can’t be 100% sure.

    Across body. Don’t go for the arms on neck unless you’re interested in them. Some dudes might take it that way tbh
