Sure do like your new pic.

I surely hope not, and if so hope maybe you'll switch sides.

This is always interesting, especially when afterword they indicate they don't usually hug. Of course I'm often on the other side of this one.

I remember that issue, and I know the feeling of hugging someone who is concerned about that issue. lol if you really want to know how to get over it, hug gays! I'm serious, I think that was a big hurdle for me. I had no issue hugging male friends I was close to, but hugging male friends I didn't know...that irrational (some may say rational) fear you mentioned...but want that irrational fear to really crop up it is when a straight guy hugs a gay guy! Or maybe that was just an issue that I had... Sometimes this place is like therapy.... or what I think therapy might be like...the closest I've ever got to the couch is Bob Newhart.

Nope, nothing can make me feel inferior... Because I am not.

I love that you've just written that, seriously when I was writing that post I thought to myself that I should an extra sentence just for you.
It would have read something like,

Any non-huggers been made to feel inferior?
17th, I guess it would be impossible for you to feel inferior, have you ever felt that a hugger has seen you as inferior?

Anyway, good for you, too many people feel inferior.

lol a speical comment just for lil old me? Hmmm You're starting to know me a lil too well... *signals to the sniper*

Yup I think people should never feel inferior.. Be strong, confident and stand your ground. To feel inferior... That I would imagine would be kind of "sickly" and make you feel real bad about yourself, that shouldn't be.

-edit-
Has a hugger ever seen me as inferior, no idea they have never said that to my face... But people always see someone else as inferior.. So I guess perhaps they have just have never said.... I think they would say I am inferior when it comes to showing love and emotions and I am as deep as a puddle... *shruggs* Maybe.

Hey Wil, you nearly made me choke on my sandwich! I've known some terrific gays, but hug one?

That's a bridge too far my friend.

Too funny, this response brought a clear image in my head of a future post from you refuting the above statement...

Sandwich choking can sometimes be a very enlightening experience, methinks.

flow....
