Why aren't men allowed to touch each other?

I've heard this described as "the father rule" - basically men are only allowed to touch each other the way a father would his grown son.

That is to say, a handshake is of course fine, a hug is allowed, backslaps as encouragement... but that's about it.

They are, again, in other countries.

It's just the way western society operates. At one point in time I was seriously thinking about killing myself and, even then, I would never have hugged my male friend. It's just a rule in modern society, if you want to have physical contact get a girlfriend.
