People online blowing something wildly out of proportion never happens, so good point...
BTW, at any friendly gathering I attend where it's daytime and outside, It's about 90% likely that there will actually be women and men hugging one another hello/goodbye, even in front of spouses. And at just about every vacation I've ever had, if there was a hot tub, there were unrelated women and men using it, even if their spouses were there.
Because, again, we're not a muslim country.
