Why do people put xoxo in emails/texts?

[chcarnage]

I haven't seen xoxoxo. But some people put smileys in absolutely inappropriate places, there is neither irony nor a second meaning to what they mail or IM me!

I just don't understand why people (and i'm using the term people over girls, because i figure some dudes might do it too, especially in response to a message they recieve with this sign off at the end) use the xoxo thing. I mean, take a casual friendship (which is where it most often happens) they don't really want to give you hugs and kisses...if you were in person, maybe a hug, but come on a kiss? no way.

It just seems silly. Kind of like those people that say, "I love you" to EVERYBODY. I don't mean to judge these people, but i'm wondering what is their motivation? Is it that they just that they're hoping people will reciprocate and they are that starving for love?

???

don't be hatin'

I have never gotten any emails with xoxo. May have something to do with the fact that I don't get many emails period.

P.S. I didn't even know it is supposed to represent hugs and kisses til now...
