Touching
Men and women also differ in terms of the use of touching as part of their non-verbal communication.
Men touch, but do not generally like being touched. Women generally give a positive response to
touching, but do not usually take initiative in touching (Whitcher, Fisher, 1979; Henley, 1977; Major,
1981).
