    Do you like to be hugged all the time?

    I can take or leave it.

    But I find it a bit strange when a stranger comes up and cuddles me on introduction.

    Do you like to be hugged VERY often? 182 votes

    Its just a girl thing to be honest, us manly men prefer to greet each other by greco roman wresting and lathering ourselves in oil. Far less gay than hugging

    I usually check my pockets straight after.

    Times like this I'd like to be a dude!

    But I know girls who hug boys on introduction. I'm thankfully not one of them.

    I, though it sounds gay, like a hug when I'm feeling low. A good hug (off a mate) cheers me up a bit :o

    Hugs off girls are way better, they're much more intense, more of a cuddle :pac:

    If someone I didn't know well tried to hug me, I'd have to kill them

    I've no problem with people who are into that sort of thing hugging and greeting themselves. It's the people who look at you like you have two heads when you don't go in for a kiss, or whatever, when you see them.

    That pisses me off.

    I'm Irish, not French.

    There's a big difference between a good mate and those fcuking insta-hug hippies. As I said, check your pockets. :-/

    I've still got Sinw's ql but after that sure.



    They hug like feck in Afghanistan and look at what that got them.
    Good stiff handshake does just fine.
