The Dreaded Hover Hand

Notice the hover hand.

We've all seen it. A guy asks an attractive girl--usually a professional cheerleader, or model, or something along those lines--for a picture. Of course, she agrees because it would make whatever organization she's supporting look bad if she declined (and let's be honest, she probably loves the attention), but one simple move makes it obvious that the guy is terrified of her: the dreaded hover hand.

The hover hand is when a guy poses with his arm around a girl, but he doesn't wrap his hand around her. It simply hovers in the air showing that he is afraid to actually touch her. What I don't get is this: you obviously had the guts to ask her for a picture, so why not touch her with the palm of your hand? It's not that hard.

Grow up, grow a pair, whatever analogy you prefer, and just rest your hand on the girl. She'll respect you more for it. If you want to see more hilarious hover hand photos, check them out here. That site is where I got the hover hand image above from. Below are some examples of how to properly take a photo with an attractive girl. Step up and be in her league. At least act like it anyway.

Age 15. No hover hand. But I bet the
kid in the back right is a hoverer.

Age 19. Still no hover.
