Or are they trying to get shot in the head?

When I go out, I've noticed that annoyingly often some closet homosexual* tries to wrap his arm over my shoulders (or worse). The last time this happened the **** actually came up with an excuse when I said "What the ****?" He said "Well I'm from Highlands North and that's how we behave up there."

I mean, are people really so isolated in their backwards little villages, that they think it's okay to half grope other men?

I'm seriously considering getting a jacket with spikes. Maybe I should just wear some 4 inch, transparent pigeon spikes through my shirt, for the element of surprise.

I can't understand it. If you don't know whether someone is the 'touchy-feely' type or not, isn't it just a common courtesy to err in the side of NOT groping them?

*No offence to actual homosexuals - I know most of you okes have more tact than that.

Edit: Yes, it's a rant, but I actually want to know what goes through these idiots minds.
 
I always like to go for a hug when greeting anyone. And resting or even putting an arm around another guy in a friendly way is cool.

Theres nothing wrong with a guy putting his arm around another guy, don't be so insecure about it. Unless you have some sort of phobia in which case you are the one out.

Why do you think they are homosexual? Why do you think its backwards?

Just because you don't like being touched does not put them in the wrong.
 
It's damn close to a phobia, but I don't think I'm the odd one out. How many people actually like this behaviour being inflicted on them? Have you ever thought that plenty of the people that you do this to don't like it?

Don't get me started on hugs. I hug almost no-one, including women, and definitely not men. Shaking hands is bad enough, especially when I can't dash off to a basin immediately after. And no, it's not OCD, it's because peoples hands are generally filthy - I know mine are.

I find that most people seem to enjoy it.

I greet the majority of people I meet with open arms, if they look at my funny and stick out a hand then I'll give em a shake. This I find happens with men who have anti homosexual feelings and think if they give another guy a hug its somehow gay... The others are not used to it or are how you appear to be.
 
Not a fan of hugs myself, makes me a bit uncomfortable. I make an exception for hot chicks though :D

Definitely sounds like an obsession with cleanliness.

No offence, but sounds like you are scared you might "turn" gay if another guy touches you :eek:

I am not gay nor from a backwards little village and have no problem giving my mates a hug or putting my arm over their shoulders. Just my opinion, but most of the time its homophobic guys that don't like this sort of behaviour.

It does appear to be OCD.

I happily pick my nose when the need arises, and I know others do to. Are you saying that you don't get a strong urge to wash your hands when you think about their boggers being transferred to your hands?

I never thought a 120kg lard-ass could be a gay-magnet.

No exceptions. I know, I'm not normal.

I hate everyone equally.

Edit: I'm going to ask a mod for a poll tomorrow. If more than 25% don't like having other peoples arms around their shoulders, then those that do it are being arseholes. Fair enough? What else would you call someone that offends every fourth person they greet?

I am a very loving person, but don't touch me. Don't put your arms around me and don't hug me, you're not my girlfriend. Lol I fully agree with the OP :p
