Men, are you physically affectionate with other male friends? (eg, hugging, snuggling, playful wrestling, etc). If you aren't, do you wish it was more socially acceptable if it isn't in your culture?

Hugging yes, but with a very limited range of friends, and I don’t have much.

I’m okay with a guy initiating a hug, but sometimes it takes me by surprise. But it’s a good surprise.

I feel it’s acceptable, just doesn’t happen often.

Yeah, that’s become the norm I feel. Plenty of my guy friends are huggers, even when we see each other pretty regularly. But not all of them. Plenty of them are just handshakers, some are dappers (especially after lockdown/covid panic), and a few are just “don’t touch me.”…-ers.
