What Your Hugging Style Says About You
- Romantic partners hugged much longer than platonic friends, with lovebirds hugging for an average of 7.02-seconds, compared to 2.88-seconds for pals.
- Surprisingly, the way people positioned their feet, knees or hips didn’t seem to matter.
- But personality factors play a part in hugging tightness. People who show high neuroticism (those prone to anxiety and self-doubt) tended to leave more distance in a hug, while tighter hugs were given by conscientious types (who tend to be responsible and careful).
Should You Comment On Your Teen's Social Media?
Ron on Reddit writes:
I thought I was being funny when I would (very) occasionally comment on my teenage son’s social media posts, but yesterday he came to me with a serious look on his face to tell me that I’m being “cringe” and begged me not to comment anymore. I’ve always seen myself as the fun and goofy dad, making puns, posting dad jokes, and yes, sometimes replying to his memes. I think his friends like me and they always laugh at my jokes, but now he says I’m ruining his image and embarrassing him in front of them. I feel like I can’t win; I’m either “absent” if I stay out of his life or “cringe” for trying to interact. Is this just teenage stuff or am I actually the problem?

Second Date Update
Trevor called us about Alicia after they grabbed sushi in San Mateo. He said she was gorgeous, sharp, and they vibed right away over sake bombs. By the end of the night, Alicia even kissed him in the parking lot, and Trevor took that as proof things were headed somewhere. He told us he thought she was amazing and couldn’t understand why she ghosted.
