But do you think it is common/typical/majority behavior?
I concur with your unintended implication that female-female groups do this ("braid each other's hair, exchange backrubs") more often than male-female and male-male pairs do.
I platonically snuggle with some of my male friends too. And I have photographic evidence of some guys I know who are not dating each other snuggling, too.
I guess I don't know how typical it is. I don't know many normal people and suspect they're dull.
Upvoted for this.
Ditto.
It isn't. I know a few normal people ("normal" along this particular dimension of personality/behavior, at least).
You are correct in your suspicions.
Especially the braiding the hair part...
Guys are less often braidable but I ask when they are.
That reminds me. My hair is just about long enough that I'd be able to accept if asked. Definitely due for a hair cut!
