I've had female friends and I've had male friends but for some reason I've noticed that females are more intimate and close to there friends then males are. Is this true for all male friends?

I'm (m) somewhat "intimate" with my friends I'll hug and stuff. But I'll play it off as a joke half the time depending on who. I was fortunate enough to have made really great friends in high-school that I can be more friendly and am secure enough that if anyone said anything it wouldn't phase me

Adding on to this, I'm more secure when we've had more to drink so a "drunken hug" is more acceptable
