Even for me... I wouldn't slap a guy because he gave me a unwanted hug....

That is just strange, its not like he was grabbing my ass and tits...

Unless it's my boyfriend, I hate hate hate hugs. If I extend my hand for a handshake, that means I want a handshake, not a hug.

It probably wouldn't bother me that much either but I can see how it would trigger defensive mechanisms in some women, being touched without permission by a stranger or non-bf.
 
C'mon, if you had eyes for the guy and he pulled it off confidently and with a sense of humor I bet most of you wouldn't mind all that much.

I think the way he explained it in his original post was pretty awful though, but I think I understand what he's getting at.

Where I'm from guys only hug girls so it's normal for me. I guess it depends on where you live and your own personal preference. (I hug my male friends all the time). Funny enough, I don't hug boyfriends. They get something else ;D

If you are a lady and you would like to confirm this statement you may proceed.

Unfortunately can't confirm this. I hate dancing and so does my partner, so we suit each other just fine, lol.

A high five?

If a girl extends her hand for a handshake, I usually say 'No handshakes-- hugs or nothing.' Say it clearly, don't mumble, and start the hug before she realizes what's going on. Hug firmly-- no willy-nilly bullshit. Smile the whole time. She'll probably be smiling after. If not, you have every answer you need.


That is really, really creepy

I get hugs from my friends. Would you like a stranger doin' it?

I'm a guy and I don't like hugs unless they're a pretty good friend of mine. Normally I'll just go in for a high five or handshake, but I personalize it and make it up as I go along. I make it fun so they normally get a kick out of it.

Heh. That's good. The handshake does seem rather too formal at times, I'll admit.
 
Why does my daughter's hair get so tangled in the shower? Too much shampoo? Not enough? Who knows, curse long hair! For now she likes long hair but I can only hope I've raised her right and she will grow up the know the superiority of short hair

I'm gonna guess that how handshakes are perceived depends on your age and stage in life... I mostly meet people through groups for professionals (or mostly non-student), so handshakes are the way to go.

It's funny how a hug can elicit so many snap judgments about a dude's tendencies and character. This is all funny to me. :D

I could have done a better job, I guess. I probably left too much to the imagination and those details were probably filled in the worst possible way.

Pretty much. If he seemed gross/creepy I'd feel super uncomfortable.

I have a creepy neighbour (old Jamaican dude, prolly in his fourties) that greets me regularly and seems nice enough. Until he started saying stuff like "such a lovely girl. Ya just-a my type" and "Ya really got everythin' goin' for ya. Just wait til ya older, mm mm" and I decided I was afraid of him. We take the same bus and whenever he sees me he'll come sit beside me and stuff. I remember once he was liken "bye" and before I could know what was going to happen next just pecked me on the cheek! I felt AWFUL. Could not shake the feeling off all day. After this happened I started avoiding him, I knew what times he got on the bus and would kill time at the mall so I could take the next one. One day I ran into him as I was on my way home and he started talking to me. I felt like he was going to try and kiss me soon so I started to walk away really fast, but before I got anywhere he put his his arm on my shoulder and with an IRON GRIP (also smiling!) pulls me towards him to give me a kiss on the cheek. It was like he knew I was gonna get away. I wanted to cry. It was a really icky feeling.
 
I totally got guilted into having sex last night, and this isn't the first time either (first with this girl). Girl was over, we were hanging, I didn't realize how exhausted I was and fell asleep on her. Got 'woken up', and when I mentioned how tired I was, the guilt trip started to rain from the heavens. What's weird is this girl doesn't guilt me for anything else, ever - but she is extremely sexual, so in the interest of our relationship, I manned up and banged (it was fun, don't get me wrong). She did apologize a bit after saying she can't believe she guilted me into it (I didn't bring the guilt trip up, she did) and that she didn't know what came over her - but still, I'm noticing a pattern.

Does any of Lady-GAF guilt dudes into sex? Also, would it work in the reverse?

Maybe start using a little bit of conditioner? Also, there's tangle spray made for younger kids that is made specifically for unknotting hair.

What's the point in asking these gross stupid questions?

What made that gross? It was an honest question I have wondered about for awhile.

What is wrong about wanting to know?

Wow... I know that icky feeling, but I feel uncomfortable just reading this. Sorry you had to deal with that...

Yeahhh... that's not cool at all. :-\

A simple Google search would've answered your question.

Almost anything could be searched for on google. Including most of what has been discussed thus far.

I was wanting to hear it confirmed on a little bit more of a personal level. Not saying neogaf is really personal, but I think you know what I mean. It means more coming from here than random google searches.
 
Fetts_Jets said:

Personally I never found it to work that well. Right now she uses a "tangle free" shampoo that works just as well (that is to say not at all)

I'll try some conditioner
 
Wow. Creepy as hell.

I used to have to walk to school and I lived in a pretty big city. Around when I was 13/14. Older men would constantly yelling things out at me. It got to a point where I had to stop walking to school, and eventually we moved.

I can't imagine how awful that felt.

Then when I was 15 after we'd moved and I started going to another school this one boy on my bus was constantly giving me stuff that I didn't ask for. He'd give me like a bag of candy every day. It was the weirdest thing. He was a really strange kid who used to dress in almost all black and had an all around creep factor.

Eventually he came out and started telling me about how much he loved me. He found me on facebook and kept harassing me on there. The last straw was when he got my number and started calling my house saying he was going to kill himself if I didn't go out with him.

So that's the story of how you got your first boyfriend? :P

(to stay OT: avoid that kind of humor around women :( )
 
LadyGAF,

Perhaps you can help me out. I noticed that when I talk to girls, I usually end up bringing up more than they do as far as topics of conversation or sometimes even asking how things are going. In some cases in the past, I was also doing the majority of the initating of conversation, depending on the girl. Is that just natural, or does it show some kind of disinterest?

I don't think it was leaving out details, I just think that it came across as pushy and contrived instead of playful and fun.

I don't, but my boyfriend does. There were a couple of occasions where I was half asleep ( Do all guys wake up with a boner? Waking up to getting your boobs grabbed is actually not as great a feeling as it may seem guys) and when I said "hey, I don't feel like doing it. I just woke up". He'd reply "First you'll say you don't feel like doing it this morning. Then you'll say you don't feel like doing it this week. Then you won't feel like doing it this month. Then we'll just be one of those couples who NEVER does it!"

-_- considering we do it basically everyday *sigh*. Still works though. Damn my insecurities!
 
I remember one time I wrote a love letter to this girl in crayon and I described her dark red hair as "looking like a BBQ sauce". I chickened out and never went back into Zumiez to give her the note. Do you think that would have worked though?

Also, one time this girl I liked was coming over to my apartment for a party, and so I printed out 12 pictures of her from myspace and hung them up in various secret spots in my room. Later she was in my room and she saw them (she saw the one in the closet, and the one on the ceiling above my bed). We never hooked up. Do you think this hindered my chances?
 
well that's disappointing, now that I know it has nothing to do with me being there...

Do it blame space, you'll get aaaaaall the ladies.

So says you. I've had more than one girlfriend who'd say things like "You know if you're up for it and I'm seeping just go ahead and put it in."
