The typical resolution of a situation like this, I think, is that you have an explicit standard which says "You can't hug people without asking", but there will be an unspoken selective lack of prosecution (like how cops don't get traffic tickets and white people don't go to jail for drug crimes) when an attractive man engages in the behavior.

Yes, typical human hypocrisy. Not problematic for the average joe.
