  Some paragraph which i find it interesting..XDDDDDDDD
  
  The male hug is complicating everything.
  
  Men accustomed to the automatic hand clasp accompanied with a brisk up-and-down pump at dinner parties and college reunions, now must preface their greetings or goodbyes with intricate and split-second calculations based on body language, length of friendship and other factors.
  
  

Only men engage in the combination handshake-hug, says Floyd.

• "Men often do it with their handshake in between them, so there is a physical barrier. The third thing is the aggressive patting on the back that comes along with it, which is a very combative gesture. It's a way for men to say, 'I have positive feelings for you, but let's show them in a way that is masculine and gender validating.' All of those things -- distance, a barrier, the combative movement -- are all stereotypically masculine ways of behaving."

What about women??
