When was a time where you saw women being platonically touchy/intimate with each other and envied that because it would be taboo to do that as a man in our culture?

1. Never lol… why would I want to be touchy/intimate with a friend!? I think there is an orientation for that. Also, woman are different than men – no point in trying to draw parallels.

2. That’s not why we envied it. So never to answer your question.

3. Two of my friends do this a lot. I don’t know if I’m jealous nessecarly, because I don’t want to do that, but part of me wonders if that’s just because I’ve been raised to not want it.

   What I do get jealous of is some of my female friends who hug eachother, but don’t hug men, so when we’re all going home for the night I just awkwardly stand there and watch them hug.

4. I do not want to touch my homies, I also don’t want them to touch me. I shake their hand when I see them and give em a pat on the back. That is sufficient

5. I’m manly enough not to care and get touchy with male friends too. So tell me, what taboo are we breaking?

6. lol what. platonic touch is unenviable. That’s the whole point, it’s general manners. If men wanna hold hands or kiss lips then have at it,hoss,but that ain’t anything I wish for myself.

7. Look, I don’t mind being affectionate to my bros (basic hug), but there is a line. I don’t like being touched in the first place, so I’m definitely not envious of excessive touchy-ness.

8. Never. Wtf?

   This is wrapped up in some serious self hatred. Overcome it. Do whatever you want to dude. Don’t let something like society dictate if you can hug somebody. News flash, nobody cares if you hug your bro.

9. Never. I never ever envy this. But yes, I have seen this before.

   The guys I knew who were platonically touchy/intimate were so deep into the friend zone that the women were that comfortable to be that touchy.

   I don’t think I could ever do that even if friends though. I would only allow touch/intimacy with people I actually romantically like.

10. Never. I’m not big on physical contact outside of sex. Like even just sitting on the couch with my gf i prefer not to have her hanging all over me.

11. Who are you and where do you come from ?

12. The platonic touching doesn’t matter. It’s the bond of support that is the thing to be envious about. Men can have that too. But it’s not as commonly seen as women supporting each other.

13. Never envied it but the shit girls do to each other in locker rooms without being called gay is insane

14. Nope. I hug my friends, male or female. Most of em have been with me for the whole ride. They know [I’m a Hugger](https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=10155453300534130)

15. Never. Not physically affectionate with anyone but my wife.

16. Never. I have no desire for that kind of relationship with men.

    That’s what women are for.
