What kind of freaks doesn't enjoy hugs? Even socially avoident people like me enjoy them.
But for the most part, I enjoy them with available women. I admit that the desire to touch a woman is important to me, and I know this makes me a bad person. I've learned to suppress my feelings for wanting affection from a woman. I'm terrified of being accused on the metoo movement. I would never ask for a hug, nor touch a woman in any way at this point. The metoo movement has made me terrified of women.
Generally I think it's a good idea for guys to avoid them anyways because it can lead to crushes which could lead to falling in love with someone who will only Friendzone you. Only engage in them if they will lead to something.
