Shaking hands is little more than a perfunctory greeting. Whether you like the person or not, you greet them with a shake of the hands.
Whereas, the bro hug is bond. |

Does anyone here actually do this? When I watch Motortrend TV or something about certain types of music or sports, the guys do this "bro hug" when they greet. Is this a thing? When I go to the vape shop to get juice, the dude there will prompt me to to do the "fist bump". I don't mind that, but whatever happened to "how are you" and a hand shake? 
I’m not even totally down with handshakes unless it’s a business situation. |

Fist bumps should replace handshakes in most social settings. Faster, more sanitary, and less likely to have to deal with some prick who thinks it’s his chance to show how tough he is....or someone with sweaty ass hands.

My old manager wanted shake hands while simultaneously doing a chest bump.
For the record, he was the biggest cocksucking, narcissistic douchebag I have ever met. He is the reason I have my theory about the amount of hair gel a guy wears is proportional to their douchebaggery. |

He is the reason I have my theory about the amount of hair gel a guy wears is proportional to their douchebaggery.  Some people are just caricatures. Slicked back hair, gelled all to fuck, shirt unbuttoned like a 70s fucking porn star, gold chains and shit. I mean, how in the hell do you go out in public like that and not realize just how fucking idiotic you look?
The slicked back gelled hair thing is almost exclusively done by guys who you just know saw some movie and used it to pick out their power tie, and they really do think they have an edge up on everyone else by dressing the way they dress. Chest bump? Who the fuck does that? Why doesn't he just thrust cocks together? But people are bizarre. It's like the women who go out with the massive, feathered all the hell, 80s hair. How do you not realize that you stand out like a turd in a punch bowl looking like that? Now if you don't care, hey more power to you, every third snowflake out there these days has got dyed hair and some fucking "i'm unique" hairstyle going, but some people just seem completely oblivious. I'm hardly some fashion nazi, but it's fascinating as hell seeing how people dress. Ever spot the salesman on a plane? It's easy, right? Pastel dress shirt, with the color-coordinated tie that you damn well know was sold as a set, polyester "coach" pants, and the inevitable slip on shoes. Always the black slip on shoes with the little chrome buckle thing. Not monkstraps, mind you. But never, ever a pair of lace up brogues. |

There are very few instances of which it would be ok for men to hug. Off the top of my head I can’t think of one so, no bro hug unless you want trouble.
Fags Men talking about handshakes being unsanitary but, hugs are ok......right. One more thing, I’m not your damn “bro” so, no “bromance” either. |

My son in law introduced me to the "Bro hug" by surprise many years ago,I was uncomfortable with it then and still am. That being said, it is reserved for family and very close friends "if" they initiate it.

A firm handshake or a nod is all a man should expect or get from another man.
I will hug my father and ritually "hug it out, bitch" like Ari Gold with my brother at departures though. |

I see it more often these days, but it wasn't a thing when I was growing up.
Mostly the younger guys do it, even my actual flesh and blood brothers don't do it. It just wasn't done, and we grew up with handshakes. Women did the hugging. Do what you like, though. |

3 of my friends and I hug when we see each other. we are like brothers.. We even say we love each other, but more like " love ya brother" my 2 best buds both lost their sides of their families, brothers and parents, so we have become even closer and more like brothers over the years
I get(and give) hugs from all kinds, old ladies, hot chicks, gays...doesn't bother me a bit, I like it. I don't look like a hugger but I am. I hold doors open for people too. Worse thing, when a cute lady hugs me....my hands tend to automatically. move toward the rear end....its just a habit. |

you never really know a man until you fight them, greeting someone new should begin in full contact fistacuffs or a simple handshake.

When hugging another man you must slap them on the back hard enough for everyone in the room to hear it, but not so hard as to hurt the other man.

Menfolk hugging has always been weird to me. If that is your thing, knock yourself out, boys. That's apparently a thing with Italians and muslims. Not my thing. I hug the women I like and love. My little grandson always runs up and hugs when we see each other. I'm ok with that.
The knuckle bump is different. As a lifelong germaphobe, I think it a great invention. I've been getting that greeting from the younger guys at work for the last few years. Prefer it over a shake. Less pathogens exchanged, but still a show of respect in greeting. The only time I shake a man's hands might be for business greeting. Flu season? Hell no...not even if I'm meeting the president. |

For a very few close friends, I'm good with it, but I wouldn't like it when first meeting a guy.
I'd be alright with it from pretty much any female I'd normally meet, but a girl can't be a "Bro". 
In general, I'm a hugger.
