I bet men would be less lonely if they hugged each other once in a while and meant it.

@alice Almost 20 years ago, I met a guy for the first time in real life after we had already talked online for a few years. The guy is built like Santa Claus. He picked me up like a toddler, hugged me and spun me around a couple of times. We're still close friends.
I've been to (and organized) events where people are generally relatively unafraid of touch and it's amazing. It's not unusual to see people of all genders getting cuddly cozy on a couch while talking or playing D&D.

@alice this would be great and something I’ve tried to have in my current adult life.
But it’s also such a painful loop to be in because most dudes just don’t get hugged in a meaningful way in those formative years. So we don’t know how to spread the love later.
With my child I hug them all the time and I’m always telling them how much I love them.
I hope I can break the cycle.
