Are you a hugger?

scoobertina · 03-13-2011, 05:21 PM

My daughter and I had a deep discussion about hugging...

I am a hugger.. I hug people I care about.. friends, family... and people I have met more than one time... if I meet someone I have met online in person I will probably hug them.. it is just who i am... however, my daughter is not a hugger... she said she needs to *shit, what is that word?* work on making her half hugs better... she isn't sure how much to hug or how little...

lol.. anyhow...

so are you a hugger? do you hug a lot, just certain people? or are you a half hugger?.. do you avoid hugging?

Definitely a hugger.....I even hug trees on occasion.....just to keep my skills up !!!

tink062570 · 03-13-2011, 05:25 PM

I hug all the time ... it is just away of acknowleding those that are important to me . Not sure if i could go without hugging ... I am probably like you if i met some of my closest friends in the real i would probably hug them to ... just think that we all are so close it would just be natural ...

Sneaky · 03-13-2011, 05:33 PM

No.

Well that isn't EXACTLY true. I will hug the people I love really good. But I'm a genuine hugger. I hate the fake hugs. I do NOT like people I don't know hugging me. I reserve my hugs for the few and sometimes I will squoosh them to death with hugs. There is NOTHING better than a REAL hug.

SpecialK · 03-13-2011, 05:41 PM

I will hug.. but almost never initiate a hug.... not that I'm opposed to it.. but I think that a hug actually means something.. and unless I'm really close to someone.. it generally won't happen.

moodyman · 03-13-2011, 05:43 PM

oh yes if ive met you a couple of times you'll likely get a hug from me, i have to say though some people are standaffish about it so i dont hug them. Most of my freinds i hug hello and goodbye though..

wayneypoo · 03-13-2011, 06:00 PM

texjim37 · 03-13-2011, 07:06 PM

A Hugger .... love it.

disturbiagirl · 03-13-2011, 07:20 PM

I hug those I care for....

Gigglez · 03-13-2011, 07:29 PM

I am a very affectionate person which means I am a big time hugger ... Love hugging ... But I only hug the people I love (family/close friends/the man I am in a relationship with ... that excludes the husband LOL)

dcowboy09 · 03-13-2011, 07:29 PM

I do enjoy a good hug .......

Devon · 03-13-2011, 07:49 PM

probably half hugger

Tessa76 · 03-13-2011, 07:56 PM

I'm one of those annoying people who completely disregard personal space. I hug, I touch, I lean in...I'm all over your shit.

Han Solo · 03-13-2011, 07:59 PM

If you are one of my kids, then Yes........everyone else who moves in for that gets the "REALLY, WHY are you doing this"

face when they can't see.

BlondieS · 03-13-2011, 08:29 PM

NOT a hugger. But I am a toucher. for those of you with your mind in the gutter, I just mean I often touch a person's arm when I'm talking to them.

very telling statement

Just A Girl · 03-13-2011, 08:32 PM

I'm a hugger but only with people I genuinely want to hug........if I don't want to hug you its definitely a half hug

virgochick · 03-13-2011, 08:32 PM

I'm very affectionate and love hugging but only if I like the person

Kissie · 03-13-2011, 08:35 PM

Im a hugger!!

bluesafire · 03-13-2011, 08:39 PM

I love to hug! But if I don't know you, you might get one of those side hugs.

Ya have to leave it to Savvy to always throw that little extra in....lol.

I'm a hugger too - but my wife doesn't care for my kind of hugs - she prefers that I keep my arms at her waist.....but where's the fun in that?...lol.

Daves70 · 03-13-2011, 08:47 PM

One time around Christmas while I was working at the airport a stewardess came off the flight and gave me a great big hug. I told my wife afterwards....she was absolutely furious....lol......she wanted to call up her company to give her heck.

You know, I can still remember that hug to this day....lol.

Beccs · 03-13-2011, 08:50 PM

I'm a hugger. Hugs make everything better. No matter how upset or angry I am, a hug from the right person just cheers me up. They make u feel safe, calm, loved and accepted.
I also hug my friends, i love them, so why not?!

Ivan · 03-13-2011, 09:02 PM

I was siting in a coffee shop this morning looking out the window. Two older people, a white guy and black women, passed each other on the sidewalk. They stopped, smiled, and gave each other a big friendly hug. Thought that was cool.

How people greet really varies a lot by country ... in some places it's not done at all.
