Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Male characters show discomfort expressing emotions, particularly affection towards another man. Often results in a "hug" with no physical contact, an obviously awkward hug, etc. There's also the version where females can hug with their bodies close but guys hug while their lower halves are far away, so they have to lean over more to hug. This has been referred to as "A-Frame hugging". See also: Ho Yay, Real Men Hate Affection, Man Hug |

In a Dilbert book on etiquette, Dogbert discusses Air Hugging, saying that it is not the best time to reveal your sensitive side, and not to let people see you get the creeps afterwards. | |

On Doc McStuffins, Lambie is the Cuddle Bug. However, there have been a couple of instances where there was something preventing actual cuddling, so she gave an "air cuddle" instead. | |

Drake & Josh have their "quick hug" which involves wrapping their arms around each other for a quick second before letting go since they're too embarrassed to hug in public. Averted in later seasons as they would both hug openly with a great exclamation of "HUG ME BROTHER!" if they were happy, no matter the location or crowds around them. |

In the episode of Will & Grace guest starring Matt Damon, his character (who is pretending to be gay) does A-frame hugging to Jack. He gets out of the suspicion by claiming that by having his pelvis away from Jack's, he can then check out Jack's shoes. | |

In Monk, Adrian and his brother Ambrose did this when they met for the first time in years in season two. Although, both those guys also just have a problem with physical contact in general. | |

Horatio Hornblower, "Retribution": When the dynamic trio of lieutenants Bush, Kennedy and Hornblower return gloriously from a suicide mission, everybody is chuffed beyond words. Horatio comes aboard and Matthews welcomes him very cordially. note Matthews has been a member of Hornblower's division since his very early days in the Navy and who later acted as Horatio's mentor, that is, as long as an experienced boatswain can be a mentor to a young and highly competent lieutenant. He goes for a hug, but remembering his rank, he just grabs his arms with both hands and shakes them, and he laughs with apparent pride and relief that his young hero is back safe and sound. This trope is often played to feel awkward or express problems showing affection, but this particular Air Hugging is very sweet. | |

ElfQuest uses the "lower bodies separate" version near the end of Fire and Flight, the very first graphic novel. This despite their Everyone Is Bi policy. | |

Friends: Chandler and Joey would almost-hug each other and pat themselves on their back on occasion. Lampshaded in the finale that it was their thing. They decide on the "lame cool guy hand shake" over the "awkward hug", but end up giving each other a real Man Hug, anyway. |
