    We do it a lot more but it does exist in other places just less hug centric more a hand on a shoulder. Normally social groups and clubs. it requires older men that are not entirely Jaded to set the example. Unfortunately those guys mostly have passed at this point and most boomers don’t have the cognitive bandwidth.

  Sometimes I lightly punch my friends in the balls to thank them for being vulnerable around me.

    sometimes I rub their butts and tongue their balls to remind them that someone cares.

  many men do have emotional support from friends and comradierie though. Oddly, the more macho and often homophobic they are, the more gay it seems.

  Its so strange how that evolved too, my dad, who is silent generation and arguably one of the manliest men I have known, still did the back smacking one handed hugs with his close friends. When did men stop doing this?
