The One-Armed Pat Hug

[Fangle]

As an avid enjoyer of hugs, there are very few things that i dislike more than one armed pat hugs. They always seem so impersonal and forced, and in my opinion are a waste of time. So if you are gonna hug someone remember to use both arms and give a good squeeze, you'd be surprised at how a good hug can brighten up someones day.

what about the amputee's that only have one arm because they lost it from playing chicken with a train..... huh??? you counting them out......

or how about the people with NO arms what so ever... hrm????

some people are afraid of good hugs. that is, until they get one.

A guy can't do a full hug on another guy. It's the one armed pat hug all the way.
Otherwise you're just that much closer to two guys fucking each other missionary. And that's something none of us need to experience with our best bud.

[crookedking]

the one armed pat hug isn't a waste of Time. the two armed squeeze hug is a waste of Time.

it's all about a nice firm handshake.

What do you dislike more than one armed pat hugs? I'm interested to know what few things make it onto that list. (what could possibly be worse than a one-armed pat hug?)

[galaxie]

Ugh.
Those type of hugs drive me nuts.
Is it REALLY that difficult to reach your other arm around, you lazy bastard?

[ebbomega]

sometimes it is, serious.

I do the "manly hug" which a handshake into a hug, hold a second, pat, release. Some guys just aren't comfortable getting a real hug from a guy, i am sensitive to this.

I also do the "it's fucking crowded in this club so I'm gonna give you a one-handed side-hug" one often too.

I never turn down any hug though of any kind. any kind of acknowledgement past a nod or a handshake is coo.

[FeelGood]

but i thought this was the cool gangstar way to hug someone.
i wanna be cool.

how about a High Five? it's quick, good-spirited, and you can't hug or shake someone's hand as you're passing by without stopping to talk. Plus, complete strangers can High Five without a second thought.

[crookedking]

high fives are definately acceptable in today's society.

unfortunately dropping the high five down into the low five afterwards isn't :(

[tiedye]

I'm all for the high-to-the-low five. . even the Fresh Prince over-the-shoulder-thumbs-up too

[crookedking]

doing the fresh prince over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder-thumbs-up is even worse than a one armed hug pat.

my bf did that to me once at the airport.

I was like 'WTF ARE YOU MY UNCLE?'
