    I haven't noticed this, but I don't think it's such a bad development.

    It's better than the traditional Irish fear of closeness, physical intimacy and emotional openness.

    Few hugs, be grand.

    Because pop culture influences them to do it, man. Have a nice day dude.

    It's awesome that I am not influenced by such things I mean, it's really epic.

    Is Smallville not a show about Superman? If so, swouldn't it influence kids to fly around busting super-villains as opposed to hugging each other?

    Girl: I watch Glee, do you?

    Boy: eh, (hormones take control) yes, course i do.

    Girl: wanna hug?

    Boy: :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,443 ✭✭✭Bipolar Joe


    Eugh, wouldn't want to hug any one who watches Glee. Might catch retarded or something.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,079 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz

    i used to work with two wans in their late 20s, one worked a full week, the other part time. when the part timer left on wednesdays, they always said goodbye with a hug. you'd swear one of them was going away for a good few months. feckin annoying.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20 i need this


    just the way thing are nowadays.. not all teenagers are like that though! lads do it more because girls expect it :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,975 ✭✭✭W.Shakes-Beer


    Ah here whats wrong with people showing a bit of affection, you'd be moaning if they were bashing the head of one another and now ye're moaning because of a few hugs.


    Anybody want a hug?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 821 ✭✭✭temply


    I always have an LOL at the emos with bad skin who scream and shout & hug and kiss when they meet eachother outside the Central Bank on a Saturday


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,443 ✭✭✭Bipolar Joe

    Our society is becoming more effeminate, birth control drugs are really turning out to be a wonder drug for leftist. They make women prefer feminized men, remove the inherent racism women experience while ovulating, artificially delay when people would start a family aging the population and providing a convenient excuse to import third world proles. The leak into the water supply through piss further feminizing men making them more docile.

    The Marxist couldn't have created a better drug if they tried.

    Females are hitting puberty earlier and earlier due to the estrogen in the environment, while men hit puberty later and later due to the estrogen in the environment.

    Workers who work in factories that create plastics that are closely chemically related to estrogen report sexual side effects across the board, such as lowered libido, difficulty achieving and maintaining erections and non-motile sperm.

    Our culture is toxic and our physical environs are toxic.

    Indeed.

    I tend to be quite a tactile person ... no, I don't insist on hugging everyone when I meet them or anything like that, but my first instinct for example if a friend is in the dumps is to throw an arm around their shoulders. The number of times I've been given suspicious looks as a result ... :rolleyes:

    I do kind of agree that there is an American "overdone" version of it that can ring quite false.

    It always seems to come much more naturally and genuinely to the people of the Mediterranean countries.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 489 ✭✭petebricquette


    I'd be quite a tactile person (always have been) and I'm quite a fan of the hugs. Hugs are the best. And I am an excellent hugger. On that note, OP, hug?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,197 ✭✭✭daenerysstormborn3


    The hugging I've no issue with, well not as much of an issue as I do with people who flippantly throw around "i love you" casually to every acquaintance they pass on the street. Those 3 words have lost all sort of meaning when you're a 16 year old girl telling your mate you love her and then heading off with your friends and bitching about her for the day. Does my head in!

    Men should be men, not hugging each other or hugging a female friend, unless they are in a relationship or she is crying.

    and dont even get me started with the amount of "camp" clothes for men are in the shops these days, and i dont mean camping clothes either.
