When talking to same sex friends how many arms length do you give them when facing them when you face them. One arm length or two? Does standing real close to them make you feel uncomfortable?
Are you likely to touch your friends when you talk to them?
Oh my God! I don't think anyone needs to break out a tape measure when they're having a conversation with a friend of the same sex. I'm obviously not going to sit in their lap but I wouldn't feel a need to establish a specific barrier. Maybe you should just get some of that yellow tape that the police use at crime scenes so when you talk to your friends you can set up a no fly zone.
Sometimes i talk to a friend when we're out on the boat fishin'. I'm amidship steering. he/she is up by the bow. Sometimes i talk to one of my dog/cat Pal's...they like to love on me.

I don't like having people within ten feet of me unless we're sleeping together. Even then, I merely tolerate it.
When I travel to the countries in Southern Europe I see men talking to each other only 2 feet away vs here in America we usually talk to our friends four feet from each other. How much personal space do you need?

Depends on what you are talking about, the ambient noise level around you and how well you can hear. I've leaned over to a friend of mine in a loud, crowded restaurant to say something as an aside I wouldn't want the whole room to hear or outside where the traffic noise was loud. So, there are always circumstances which dictate distance when speaking to one another.

Totally depends on the level of friendship. If they are one of my close friends, I don't need any "personal space" at all. I'm very much a toucher/hugger...physical contact doesn't bother me a bit, unless of course, it's with a slime-bucket.
