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.

Speak for yourself
- Give me belly rubs and head pats when welcoming me into your home, damn it! 🥺
  
  You got it 🫳🐺
- Instance checks out.
What's this we shit?
I snuggle every motherfucker I can get my arms around. I will snuggle the shit out of you
- Please.
  
  aggressively warm and hairy snuggling begins
- 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!
I'm not, and now I want to
Oh hello! Hellooo! Whose the best one of all the ones??? Whose the best one?? IT'S YOU!!!! YOU ARE!!!
- 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 men’s group
  
  Belly rubs all around?
Listen, I understand why you’d feel that way as a modern human, but why are you glad we, as a potently social species, don’t engage in such simple bonding rituals?
- We kill each other too often.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
May I sniff your butt though?
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.
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.
I would if I had someone. But for now I just give my cat the big squeeze and smooch her head.
The world would be a happier place if everyone did.
Be a lot more people walking around with hickies
