    Well, following having hugged various members of the boards I've found that there are various attitudes... which do you fall into? :)

    Hugs rule. Although my back cracks when I'm hugged, so it normally involves people hugging me and then freaking out at the long series of pop and crackle noises.

    Hey, suits me, saves me hanging out of the door jams. :D

    i'v a nasty habbit of calling "group hug" and then enforceing it when i'm drunk :)

    Hugs are great, awkward around your male friends when sober, always better from female company, especially if theres more than one trying to hug you.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,488 ✭✭✭SantaHoe


    If everyone had more hugs the world would be a much nicer place.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,379 ✭✭✭Mills


    The poll should be multiple choice, I wanted to pick "Hugs are great" and "I like to do untold hugging damage while drunk" :). I prefer hugging members of the opposite sex, they're much nicer to hug, but I've been known to give my male friends the odd hug, or wander round with my arm around them, usually when I'm drunk. Most of my male friends don't appreciate being hugged anyway *shrugs*.

    I like mills would have liked to have multiple answers to this one. Hugs in general are great hugging women is better! And also the causing untold damage when drunk can be fun too :)
    always better from female company, especially if theres more than one trying to hug you.

    I couldnt agree with you more(well unless i tried:))

    Uhhhh, there's no "don't touch me" option.
    Actually, we did this kind of personality test thing in work, some occupational psychologist asshole, anyhoo, part of my report said "Don't touch any part of his body when speaking to him"

    Of course now everyone goes out of their way to grab my arm or put their hand on my shoulder......bawstids :)

    Half the "Hugs from the opposite sex are fine, but no way otherwise." but without the noway otherwise part.
    depends on the person

    Hugs 0wn m3h!

    I hug everyone - sober or drunk - it's all good baby!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 764 ✭✭✭Terminator


    Forgedabout taxing plastic bags - the government should introduce a new tax on people who like to hug for no apparent reason.

    A lot of emotional energy goes into hugging and frankly these spontaneous huggsters are knowingly draining energy from the rest of us for their own evil ends.

    Same again for people who say "Thank you" when getting off the bus.

    Dweebs.

    Hugs rule, but only if they're genuine. Hugs from fake people suck; hugs otherwise rock. What about cheek-kisses too? Nothing like a nice cheek-kiss with every hug. :) Though, hrm, girls kiss girls, and girls kiss guys, but guys don't really kiss guys do they? Except 10% of couse. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,397 ✭✭✭✭azezil


    oh no i don't go in for that cheek kissing at all!

    It wasn't so much the hug, it was more the deep throat french kissing that embarressed me.

    Hugs are great.

    No, definitely not. If asuka says otherwise, he's a liar.

    Hugs rock...

    cept when your mate comes into work to meet you before you go for some pints... and your boss(male) comes over and gives you a big hug out of the blue in front of your mate purly to embarras you... and just seeing the smile streach accross your mates face followed by 2 years continious slagging over it :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,783 ✭✭✭Puck


    Yeah hugs are great I'm always doing it. Especially when I'm drunk. I get very emotional when I get drunk.

    Ah right, so not acting like a self-contented wanker is to be frowned upon is it?

    every time you go on the bus your placing your life in the hands of the driver. You should be extra careful around them.
    Remember Speed? ;)

    In answer to the poll, hugs are fine, especially when from the opposite sex when both (or all :D) parties are drunk and giddy.
    Has lead to many interesting nights :)

    hugs scare the **** out of me :eek:

    (ESPECIALLY from big hairy blokes like Shinji... or in public places)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,379 ✭✭✭Mills


    Note to self: Next time I'm at a LAN/Pissup hug kaids, a lot. (Or maybe it's a clever bit of reverse psychology to get more hugs next time he's at something boards-related.......)
