Edit to clarify that by 'snuggle' i meant all pets, scritches, belly rube, squeezes, ass pats, questions about who's the goodest, nicknaming, etc.

Give me belly rubs and head pats when welcoming me into your home, damn it! 🥺

aggressively warm and hairy snuggling begins

Get me a fan or air conditioning, for survival, and I'm in

Hey, wanna go frolicking later? I found this meadow I haven't tried yet.

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

Turn it into the frolicking pit, get all hard fucking core with the frolicking. Be a couple of happy, smiling, frolicking motherfuckers up in the woods!

Oh hello! Hellooo! Whose the best one of all the ones??? Whose the best one?? IT'S YOU!!!! YOU ARE!!!

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 months ago

This part would be cool, tell everyone they're a good person and some of them might actually improve. But I draw the line at letting them drool on me.

This is basically how we greet each other at my men’s group

Lots of scritches

[-] Donebrach@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Listen, I understand why you’d feel that way as a modern human, but why are you glad we, as a potently social species, don’t engage in such simple bonding rituals?

[-] Lath@kbin.earth 7 points 2 months ago

We kill each other too often.

[-] neidu2@feddit.nl 13 points 2 months ago

May I sniff your butt though?

[-] sxan@midwest.social 10 points 2 months ago

You don't?

I don't snuggle strange animals, or even my friend's pets, unless they ask for it. I treat humans the same way. My cats get snuggles; so does my wife. I give my family about the same amount of hugs as I do their pets. My sister's dog asks for head skritches; if my sister asked for them, I'd probably give them to her.

But, no: I don't go around molesting other people's pets unsolicited. Nor people.

[-] GluWu@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago

I would if I had someone. But for now I just give my cat the big squeeze and smooch her head.

[-] Num10ck@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

this entire thread made me question my understanding of the word snuggle, so i looked it up. nope it agreed with me. snuggling is like cuddling.

maybe the definition has evolved recently?
snuggling has nothing to do scritches and positive words etc.

[-] Today@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Sorry...i meant general expressions of affection and reactions to cuteness. Will edit.

[-] Curious_Canid@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

The world would be a happier place if everyone did.

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Be a lot more people walking around with hickies
