Are you a hugger?

  • Sober I am totally anti-hug, not a fan of human contact in general. Get a few drinks in me though and I am the guy going around hugging everyone, usually past the point where it is comfortable for anyone involved, plus I often lose my pants when I drink, so then I am giving uncomfortable hugs in my underwear .. it gets weird pretty quick....

    At least you keep your underwear on.........:devil:

    I am so not a hugger. (The exclusion to that would be my daughter. I love her hugs.)

    Was not a hugger for the first 38 years of my life. Then I marries my wife, had three daughters and two grandaughters. I'm a huggin' motherf*cker now.

    I am not an automatic hugger. In fact when someone goes to give me a hug I am ALWAYS momentarily surprised about it! Like hey, your'e in MY space! I sometimes think the same thing, maybe somethings wrong with me...

    I'm very much a hugger - I hug everyone: family, friends, my dog, random strangers standing in line in front of me at the grocery store....

    I only hug people close to me, close family, close friends. It really creeps me out when random people get in my "bubble". I am a total personal space freak.

    Totally not a hugger! I will hug my children, but I'm not comfortable hugging anyone else. Not even my husband.

    no there is nothing wrong with you
    not everyone is comfortable having people hug them or even just causal touches.

    I am a major hugger and toucher
    with those I care about and I do respect my friends that don't like to be hugged

    as a hugger I have learned to read when people are ok or not ok with.

    I have a HUGE personal bubble and am very much a "non-toucher". The funny thing is, this is known around my office, and one of my new-coworkers said they were told during orientation not to touch me. I found that hilarious.

    To certain people = yes.... alot of people = no. :]
  • I love hugs! But I agree, there's nothing wrong or weird about not liking hugs.

    The only hugs I like to give/receive are of my teddy bear and hubby.

    If you hug me, I will make it as obvious as possible that I don't want you touching me. Lol.

    OMG! I LOVE TO HUG!!! lol I'll hug you and you and you and you... not you bc you smell bad... and the other person and the other person lol jk... but i really am a hugger! I come from a family that is real down to earth and we great and welcome everyone like they are part of the family! :smooched: :smooched: :smooched: :smooched:
  • I am a hugger with friends and family. I am very uncomfortable wth people I'm not close with forcing that kind of intimacy on me. I have a coworker who hugs for everything. Drives me nuts. Forceful hugging is greedy.

    When they go for a hug, stick out your hand for a handshake. I would hope they get the hint.

    Yes with the opposite sex. I so enjoy hugs. They are such a great way to let my guard down.... not so much with my own sex unless it's a real good friend that I have not seen for months.

    I'm a Brit.

    We don't do hugs traditionally! Although for me, as im sure it must be for others, when i was really overweight a hug felt like a body inspection. I can try to hide my fat via clothes, but touching me they would feel my fat. Can't have that....


    Although, this vid is great

    I'm NOT a Brit, and a HUGE hugger. You'll get used to it eventually and even like it. You might even initiate..:wink:
