I've noticed a feminine phenomenon that I can't seem to shake.When I hug a guy, I instantly go up on my toes, no matter how tall he is compared to me.
Isn't that silly? Even if he's a few inches shorter than me, a quick hello embrace causes my toes to joyfully elevate my heels.
I've tried not doing it. When I was in New York, for example, I hugged a male friend and consciously decided to stay flat-footed.
To hug him while flat-footed caused my feet to sort of scoop underneath his person, one of my feet going between his and one going outside of his. I felt like my legs were tucked underneath him and my body was in the position to scoop him up or something, which was awkward and strange because I did not want to carry him away. My breasts kind of hit at his stomach, and everything felt weird. I decided not to do the experiment again.
How could I feel this sense of awkwardness when hugging, when I was merely standing flat-footed, as I do everyday except when I'm wearing heels? Why isn't flat-footed hugging more commonplace in my life?I can't explain it. I simply must rise up on my tippy-toes when I hug a guy. And, if he picks me up a bit while we hug, it's even better. It feels so right, and I do wonder if has something to do about the placement of everything in comparison to the marital embrace.
