But hugs are weird for a lot of people.
As a gay man for instance when I tried to hug straights I got immediate reactions like "uhhh, step away, no interest". I honestly wanted a hug and nothing else. With arms, not legs
But there's just so much fear in their heads they immediately extrapolate that hug into "OMG I don't want to have sex with you". With girls I imagine there's even more of it, because they simply get more unwanted attention and they just think you've found another way of making your advances.I like going to NA because you just give and receive hugs without any second meaning to them. Men, women, straight, gay, doesn't matter, anyone is huggable. Sometimes lines form because people want to hug each other. I love it.
