I have utilized both the American Man Hug and the "European" Man Hug as well as the variation with the interlocked thumbs. The European Man Hug can also lead to an opening into a side-hug for introductions. For example, if I'm seeing a male relative and introducing them to my wife (if they haven't met), I'll start with the hug, then open towards the left and use my left arm to gesture towards my wife, saying something like, "Uncle Joe, I'd like to introduce my wife..." then we release my right arm (and his left arm) as he greets my wife. Man hugging is an important skill, as when one "partner" fails to do it properly there is unneeded awkwardness, however brief. Excellent post.

You're still male. (and the Ummmm...no is my fave) When I was a kid, and someone said 'boys don't do (whatever)', I would reply: 'I'm a boy. I do it. Therefore, boys do it.' I haven't changed my view on that... Why would hugging a man in any fashion make you less manly? You’re still male. (and the Ummmm…no is my fave)
