@PNS Men that "pretend" to punch, hit, choke, or otherwise lay hands on their spouse like this guy is doing are dangerous. Something broken in their psychology makes them think its cute or funny.
No, it's a tell. If your spouse does that crap, routinely in photos, beware. Its neither cute, nor funny, rather its a keyhole's worth of insight into a dangerous mind's subconscious desires. Those subconscious thoughts may never be made manifest, but then again they just might...like this guy.
