    Total hugger here.
    People that I know aren't huggers, I'll hug them longer 'til it's that uncomfortable time lapse. Makes me laugh.

    This is me too!

    It really depends on who it is.

    I'm not big on the whole girlfriends hugging whenever they see each other. Not sure why. I just try to give the 'back tap' and end the hug as soon as possible.

    I like hugs in social situations. There are a couple people I know professionally who hug, and it's a little odd. Mostly because I know that if I were a man, they wouldn't try to hug me. It's irritating. BUT I definitely try to respect other people's views on hugging. There are one or two people I'm very good friends with who are very anti-hug, and I don't hug them. I think you can avoid hugs by keeping a reasonable distance between you and the potential hugger when you say hi. There's a chance they'll step in, but if you can catch the moment before they open their arms, stick out your hand for a handshake. Hug avoided! (This is what I do at work.)

    I love hugs with my husband. It's the most comforting, safest feeling in the world. I will hug my puppy. Otherwise, I am strictly anti-hug. Also anti-kiss-on-the-cheek. Anyone other than my husband will have to make due with a wave or a handshake.

    i'm happy to hug someone i know and love, but a stranger, no, never. way too intimate..

    i dont even like shaking a strangers hand.. i dig bowing like they do in japan..

    I feel the same way.
    When I was growing up we never hugged. I worked at being more comfortable with hugging my children, but still avoid hugging anyone I don't know well and like. I've gone to 12 step retreats where there is Lots of hugging and wrote "No Hugs" on my name badge.

    Very much NOT a hugger. Even my grandma will say..."now I know your not huggy type...but give me some hugs."

    My son and person I'm with are only people I get all 'huggy' with.

    I can be pretty huggie, but I don't like to make people uncomfortable, either. I try to be sensitive to their boundaries.

    I am a hugger with people I feel close to. I don't hug just any ole' body.

    No. Don't touch me. If you do, the most you're going to get is an awkward pat on the back. Sorry, no arm action.

    Absolute no hugger even saying no if people try to hug me. I'll even block and if necessary push people away if they decide to try pushing their luck.

    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....

    I'm definitely a hugger! But I avoid hugging strangers because I don't want to offend the non-huggers. My 23yr old son and 6yr old daughter are huggers, but my 16yr old daughter is like a damn porcupine. All bristly and stiff, so we don't hug much at all. (she probably needs it the most though).

    In normal situations I'm a hugger, I won't shy away or give a half hearted one. Although there have been a couple times I've gotten one from a co-worker that I didn't expect, but again, didn't shy away from it.
