today at work one coworker came up behind another and started braiding her hair as they chatted, like those monkeys that pick ticks off their mates. it was so natural for them. women can hold hands with each other, hug each other, even kiss each other, and it's never assumed to be sexual. they're just close with each other like that. it's really nice, actually, and i envy that. as a man, i could never go up to a woman and start, for instance, giving her a shoulder rub, or playing with another man's hair. you don't do that. it's sad. i want friends with whom i'm so comfortable i can be casually physical with. why is that so hard for men?
