I am in my 30s and I remember when I was younger (like in High School and 20s) that it was ”weird” when men would hug each other. I never thought it was that weird personally, but handshakes were the norm between other men. I‘ve noticed as I have gotten older that I find myself hugging more of my guys friends when I greet them or say goodbye to them. Sometimes it’s the “bro hug” with the handshake, but it’s still a hug. I have noticed that with other guys as well (particularly younger guys). It is more acceptable for men to hug each other from what I have seen. It used to be seen as “gay” but now it’s not really a second thought with most people. What do you think? Has it gotten more accepted over time or was it always acceptable and I just never noticed? submitted by /u/babyteeth9
