I was waiting for the big guy at the end to kick his ass!!! How disappointing that the guy was a good sport......

Overall, he got the responses I would have expected from people.

A fun little social experiment though.... Maybe I'll go over to the mall & try that today; NOT!!! :crazy:
I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not so sure..

At Niagara Falls where you walk under the falls I put my hand on some woman’s butt and gave a little squeeze. She was the same height as my very short wife and they looked the same in the yellow hooded rain coats. The woman was not amused but my wife laughed her ass off watching me back peddle

I like my personal space, but really have no problem with holding hands, I terribly miss holding hands with my Son and Daughter.

Very cool experiment. I love holding hands. I remember the feeling I would get as a child when my parents would hold hands. My Dad was never very willing and I always thought it was so bad ass when my Mom would just reach out and hold his hand. He would never let it go, he just wasn't ever very happy about it! :rolleyes:

I was going to post this video yesterday. I loved the responses, although predictable, but I like how people try to figure out what to do after the hand contact. These guys have a few more videos on YouTube - the funniest was something about trying to pick up older women at the store. Social experiments make me tick.

I love social experiments also. People are so utterly fascinating in their responses. I could watch that kind of thing all day.

A tiny bit more confidence and a little more follow through and they would have closed 90% of the time.

I loved how he just walked off in mid-sentence.

I'm not sure why, but things like this make me really uncomfortable. I couldn't even watch the whole thing.

"Almost" picking up older women ? What a dumb ass.

This reminds me of Bills experiment.

Think I woulda kicked ass if he came up to me. I hate holding hands period, let alone with people I know. I hate being touched unless it's like your pat on the back or high five typical thing.

I may have kicked this guy in the nads.

Sad, no? Holding hands is one of the more pleasant things we can share with another. It is non-sexual, yet intimate.

A polite "No thanks" would probably suffice.

Politeness seems to be overrated these days. Sad.

Youth, and inexperience. Also I assuem a questioning of ones own manhood. Hopefully that passes with time and experience.
