I'm glad we don't snuggle people as a greeting the way we snuggle animals.

Edit to clarify that by 'snuggle' i meant all pets, scritches, belly rube, squeezes, ass pats, questions about who's the goodest, nicknaming, etc.

Hey, wanna go frolicking later? I found this meadow I haven't tried yet.

Turn it into the frolicking pit, get all hard fucking core with the frolicking. Be a couple of happy, smiling, frolicking motherfuckers up in the woods!

This part would be cool, tell everyone they're a good person and some of them might actually improve. But I draw the line at letting them drool on me.

This is basically how we greet each other at my menโ€™s group

Listen, I understand why youโ€™d feel that way as a modern human, but why are you glad we, as a potently social species, donโ€™t engage in such simple bonding rituals?

You don't?

I don't snuggle strange animals, or even my friend's pets, unless they ask for it. I treat humans the same way. My cats get snuggles; so does my wife. I give my family about the same amount of hugs as I do their pets. My sister's dog asks for head skritches; if my sister asked for them, I'd probably give them to her.

But, no: I don't go around molesting other people's pets unsolicited. Nor people.

I would if I had someone. But for now I just give my cat the big squeeze and smooch her head.

this entire thread made me question my understanding of the word snuggle, so i looked it up. nope it agreed with me. snuggling is like cuddling.

maybe the definition has evolved recently?
snuggling has nothing to do scritches and positive words etc.

Sorry...i meant general expressions of affection and reactions to cuteness. Will edit.
