it just makes discussions devolve into individuals behaviour being used to
disprove general observations
it doesnt work that way.
of course there are deviations from what's stated, or there are outliers
it doesnt disregard the general trend/behaviour

and i dont think anyone can discount that in the u.s men are less comfortable
with physical contact - in a normalized context
and we see it all the time in discussions even here on okp.

perhaps you feel someway about it being linked to a concept of acceptable masculinity or whatever
but i think its foolish to act like it does not exist.
