Found on the internet:

However, fiddling with hair is also another non-verbal body language that can signify different things in different situations. For example, hair twirling can signify interest and desire. Women in particular are noted for hair twirling when talking to someone that they’re attracted to. It is regarded as flirtatious and preening behaviour, perhaps inviting or inciting the other party to touch their hair. But in other situations, as above, hair twirling can signify anxiety, incompetence, uncertainty or shyness.

That photoshopped makeup is everything, I need to know what the exact (non-existent) lipstick (that Dan isn't wearing) is. #stressed

I don't know what to class it as, apart from "very flattering moment to pause the video" - anyway, you're welcome.

Aaaw, thank you for that! I love it when he puts his hands on people's shoulders and it's actually really comforting to see that I might not be the only one, because I was starting to worry for myself :lol:

haha, I hope this is a zero-shaming zone :platonic:
I agree it's kinda cute (like he's present in the picture with the fan, not just standing by like Dan), though a bit awkward with other youtubers (but I love the one with Nat and Lilly).

I agree that it can be awkward sometimes but disagree on the specifics of when exactly it can happen. To me personally the gesture seems friendly but also slightly dominant and protective at the same time. For that reason it may be read as him accidentally establishing the power imabalance between him and the person he’s touching (with him being the more powerful one). In a youtuber-youtuber relation this power imbalance doesn’t really exist so my mind takes only about 0.001s to adjust to the situation and understand that the whole “power imabalance position” is only my gut feeling and not the reality. The reality being that it's just an expression of friendliness. However, in the viewer-youtuber situation, like in m&g, usually the power imbalance is indeed there so the position of his hands may serve to reinforce this fact to me and that’s when I sometimes, albeit very rarely, perceive some awkwardness.

I hope this was understandable (English isn’t my first language, yadda yadda). It made sense in my head. And honestly, I try to ignore these thoughts and focus on the cuteness and friendliness of the hand-on-shoulder situation instead :)

Ahh, I understand what you mean, I didn't look at it from power perspective. I guess I’m so used to Phil doing this pose with fans that when I see him putting his hand on other youtubers’ shoulders I assume he’s stuck within his m&g mode which is a bit awkward when he’s the only one in the picture doing it.
You’re probably right, it’s just a friendly gesture he’s used to doing when the camera is pointed at him except when he’s with Dan. :)

Yet to see a b&w photo of these two without it needing some form of warning... It's not fair, is it?! :D

I am a sucker for Dan with stubble, but have only seen two pics ever with it. The "dog pillow" one, and one that looks like he was stopped in a store by someone. He has earbuds hanging from his collar. Does anyone know of any other pics with stubbly Dan? The funniest part is I really only like men to be clean shaven irl. So weird...
