ok the dangerous teenage hug epidemic - another important new york times trend piece

Around the 7 to 8 second mark, I'd say.

after the expiration of the "huggle" zone

cuddles are generally horizontal, or at least sitting down.

i think its when the person starts to rub your back or really any hand/arm mvmnt at all once the hug has been formed

I am huggy if you're already a friend and if I really like you. What gets me if when people I've met once and don't really know at all start hugging me goodbye and stuff. I'm not so into that. We just met - we're not at the hugging stage yet!

yeah i guess it's a gray area--like i hugged the gf's f (who i've met a bunch of times) but since i just met this guy he's more in the handshake zone. and he's an acquaintance's sig other--who knows if i'm ever gonna see him again?

Important: which discipline?

mostly poets (obv), some writers

yeah a cuddle is a moving hug

it goes hug - huggle - cuddle - snuggle - "hooking up"

add motion and they are, respectively, hug - feeling up - heavy petting - grope - dry hump

wait, those are backward

hug - feeling up - groping - (something) - dry humping

lol

"grinding on" is somewhere in there

x-post to CAD - Yeah, exactly. You just met and had coffee. It wasn't as if you had some marathon bonding session or went through something traumatic together. In my mind that's definitely still handshake zone.

not yet, but trying

xp

is "feeling up" above the waist and "groping" below?

also "french kissing" is missing

hug - feeling up - groping - (something) - dry humping

batters box - first base - second base - third base - sacrifice fly

wait, those are backward

hug - feeling up - groping - (something) - dry humping

Where does Dutch Rudder fall into this?

say it in baseball *shakes fist*

Dutch Rudder is a good character actor but I don't see how he's relevant

Dan I would say "feeling up" is just that - feeling or lightly touching whereas "groping" sort of connotes more action. I think both could be used to describe above the waist action but that groping is def more involved.

Dutch Rudder, didn't they play the second stage at Lollapalooza one year?

Hugging isn't mentioned in the bible, so it's only logical that it's getting banned everywhere.

feeling up=you have permission
groping=you do not have permission

that's is IT
there is no way I'm bringing a child into THIS WORLD

x-post I think that one can grope with permission under certain circumstances.

(oops. sorry. http://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=embrace&qs_version=9 )

the ol' five finger hug

you do not have sufficient grope permissions to access this file

a good reporter would have pulled a quote from that last group, because I would find it super-informative as a reader to see a news story containing genuine teenage sneering about this issue, and in general about who thinks they're so cool with their stupid hugging but really they're just dumb jerks

Amen.

I can only think of one condition and one instance under which hugging occurred between my peers in middle school and high school: when couples spent the entire lunch period in sloppy kisses and serious dry humping in the hall and my two female high school classmates who were outspoken about not being lovers (Sarah was a cheerleader and Buffy (I'm not making it up) was a basketball player). I had public speaking class w/ them and they hugged before and after every single class.

But yeh, hugs would have been sooo out of place in my schools.

pretty sure when i was in high school the theater kids and goth kids were the only ones hugging it up

maybe they got the idea from my so called life or something

ugh, my grandfather had a dutch rudder on his hand, it was really fuckin gross

Wait - now that I think of it, there were probably a couple drama kids who hugged. Ugh.

maybe they got the idea from my so called life or something

ha!

i like hugs!

nabisco xp: this article would have been better if it addressed hugging as leading to social stratification or if there are ethnic/racial issues or how it affects autistic kids. The hugging thing vs. the rise of autism spectrum diagnosis ... or even better, cases of hugging gone wrong. Hugging leading to stalking. Kids that hug wrong.

Kids that hug wrong.

the mind boggles

this article is completely perfect the way it is - btw i just read it like 10 mins ago

as i recall when i went to HS (early/mid 90s) this worked strictly along gender lines. girls hugged--usually each other, occasionally guys. guys never hugged one another, and rarely if ever initiated hugs with girls.

rosario speedwagon

dude

oh shit did you use that one already doh

lb I find it disturbing that you are disturbed

why?

i recall this working pretty much as amtst described. my sister & her friends hugged, the guys never did unless it was some kind of flirtation initiated by the lady.

when does a cuddle become a snuggle, or vice versa?

thought they were synonymous.
