Okay I have to say I have NOT seen this in every day life except on the football field or basketball court. Yikes.

well then....it must be my overactive imagination.  it just seems to be more the norm now and it struck me that i don't remember all men hugging each other.  it's all good though.

Women hug in my neck of the woods too.  They have as long as I can remember.

yes, same here. Both men and women hug all the time. I never even thought that there may be places where they didn't. Hm, learn something knew every day!

I watched a few minutes of Harry Reid's tribute today and loved seeing the hugs and kisses on the cheek. True affection is a wonderful thing between friends no matter the sex.

Well, yeah. No yikes about it. I see nothing untoward about it. That's just what some guys do.

That is a bit too personal for my comfort zone even though I am a huge hugger. And I know my hubby, who does hug also, would not like people (men or women) patting his butt.  There must be some personal space and areas of off limits imo.

They don't get as close as we do, but that's ok.

Outside of the USofA,  men kiss each other on both cheeks.  Been doing that for centuries.

My husband and his group of close friends hug.   I hug my friends - not every day, but if I haven't seen them in a while
