Hug

Hi Lampar It's been a while,hope all is good on your side.well hug..ehem its not such a common thing here in sey at least for me come to thing of it i hug my parents only through christmas and new years. And when we meet someone since a long time we don't hug either just give pecks on the cheek come to think of it we dont give friendly hugs at all here apart from the love hugs which we give our love ones. cheers.

i am not that type who gives hug. i only give hug to my wife and my son. i dont know maybe my brothers and sisters are right, that i am shrek and i am not that type who gives hug. i dont even hug my mother. i dont know. i only hug my wife because she hugs me, and my son loves to hug as well. my wife hugs her sisters, mom and relatives it shows respect and how they miss each other, but i am just a person who just look and smile, im a boring person

For me a hug can mean different things. I love to give hugs to my friend male or female, but I hug them differently than I would hug my boyfriend. A hug for him is more passionate if there is such a thing. I don't know how to describe it, but a hug with him is different than a hug to my "just friends" guy friends.

Their are different kinds of hugs that have different meanings to me. I will usually hug a friend or family member as a greeting. I will hug my husband or children, or parent, out of love. You can also use a hug when someone is feeling down to help them feel better.

in my coutntry, people dont use hugs very often....maybe they think it is a very open behavior, and they are shy to do it....

I hug family members and friends. But some people are uncomfortable about hugging. I guess some people don't like others stepping inside their"space". It makes them uncomfortable. I read somewhere that you should get 8 hugs a day to maintain positive mental health. However that may depend on different cultures and how hugging is perceived.

Hi lampar, this is more of a kissing culture over here, we greet a friend with a kiss on each cheek on occassions like meals out together, or when we haven't seen a particular friend for a while, or in some instances on each occassion we meet which could be almost every day. It is a common sight to see two men greet with kisses as they meet up for a meal together, but then will just pass on the street together the next day with a nod, as that isn't a special occassion. There are some men who would never follow this practice but are in the minority. Hugging is reserved for close friends. For instance if I go to the school I will be kissed by the teachers but not hugged, but at some cafenions I will be both kissed and hugged by the owners. One is never quite sure of the greeting one will receive, kiss, hug or handshake, so I usually follow whatever lead is set by the other person.
