Dumb to write this article and not include graphics that demonstrate the hug types.

  One thing I've always found interesting is the small awkward moment that happens whenever an American and a Mexican meet after some time and proceed to "hug": The American will most likely go for the "shoulder bump greeting" [1] while most Mexicans would go for the standard "criss cross" hug [2]. The result is a couple of seconds of awkward close "dancing".

I also would love a "tl;dr" paragraph, an abstract would help would be readers to device if it's worth reading the whole thing

If you'd bothered to read the article you'd have discovered there was no real difference in hug types, and that they were explained perfectly by the text. Instead you skimmed it for pictures like a 5 year old and whined when there weren't any. Be better.

  If you had bothered to notice that other people do things differently you’d realize that some of us always skim a text before deciding on if it’s worth our attention. Sometimes we win by not wasting our time, sometimes you win by reading something interesting that looked boring on the surface. Don’t be so judgmental.

    I absolutely will judge someone who calls the way an article is written "dumb" like an entitled brat

      Sounds like you need a type 3 hug
