1st - Holding hands with a manhandsasswoman wouldn't feel good either.

If it doesn't feel good, it doesn't feel good.

2nd - There are different views on platonic. As an adult, personally, I don't hold hands with women I'm not romantically connected to in some way (with the exception being family). To me holding hands is intimate. Some people do, personally I don't. So yes, even if a dude has soft hands, I don't do it because I don't desire romantic intimacy from him.

The only exceptions are my mother and aunts because we do it playfully sometimes to return to childhood times, and my grandfather that is in a nursing home.

Hugs on the other hand are just fine.
