As discussed on today's show, how close is too close when someone talks to you? When do you feel like you're being imposed upon?
Do you mind being touched (on the arm, a hug, etc.) by strangers?

pfft...you don't even know cm from m...
it depends on the person, I don't mind a hug hello or goodbye, but in general I like my legroom... and there is no need for touching of any kind during a conversation.

For me I don't really mind how close if it's a girl I know and she is hygienic. If it's a guy I require (personal space; fuccin mod quotes) at least a foot. The only reason I might mind when it's a guy is because I think only a guy trying to intimidate another guy would do that.

I had to deal with a close talker today. We literally spun in circles for close to 15 minutes of nonstop hot breath as I was continuously back pedaling. Eventually I just broke and walked away mid sentance

I take it you're a fan of the punch test.

It depends.
Side by side, facing the same direction, I can go shoulder to shoulder with friends.
Face to face, especially with strangers, I prefer a solid yard.

NO silly!!! I was saying that if they are close enough for you to punch then they're probably too close.

I do not like any man getting close enough to me that I can smell their breath. Usually I would say arms length is safe. Closer than that and my warning bells start going off.
If its a good looking girl though, she could sit on my face after running a marathon and fart into my mouth and I'd gladly pay her money for the privelage.

It varies from person to person with me.
Generally you get a feel for someone, even a stranger, and immediately know just how close you'd like them to be to you, both literally and figuratively.

I sometimes get uncomfortable when my fiance touches me affectionately, and she's the love of my life.
But I think I'm on the extreme of this spectrum.
Did I just say 'think'?

Unless they are a friend of mine, I like to have the length of one barstool between myself and another.
I make exceptions for women.

Yes.

This.
I am affectionate and warm, and I am a toucher. I love people and I love connecting with them...people who don't like being touched generally give off that vibe, so I won't, but if I touch you and you don't like it, tough titties. What is life worth if not for connecting with other people? We are made for, and yearn for, relationship.
And maybe all it will take is a touch to melt an icy heart - like The Winter Warlock's.
So there.

Who has the tough titties in this scenario you or the other person? and is it the whole titty or just the nip?
