We don't hug that much. It's a sign of weakness when done too often.
Sometimes it is okay to hug though, but it takes more than 'just-knowing' someone.
I have the feeling that everytime two acquanted Americans meet, they hug.
Oh, and girls here don't expect to be hugged or anything. |

| | | As far as I feel, the girls I hug and my closest friends, whom I also hug, both like that and it helps to strenghten the friendship.
I'm half german half italian by decendancy (sp?) so while my mother will try to encourage us to hug and get close, my father is like away, more avoiding contact than anything. So what do I do to keep my dad closer? I hug him every now and then. Boy, its really something when you get back from work and you receive an unexpected hug from your father, for example...
I need to disagree with you, then, cause hugging seems to me like a sign of strenght, not weakness. |

They've made it a point to let me know how much they appreciate the fact I don't push them away when they need a hug or a shoulder to cry on and how much they like that quality in a guy. Someone who isn't afraid to be caring and affectionate with them in public. They tend to look on guys who aren't like that as weak and insecure with their sexuality, I.E. homophobic. I could care less honestly, I'm affectionate by nature so I just do what I feel like doing anyways.

To me, being able to hug someone is a sign of security in oneself, you know? Then again, I'm in America, and the vast majority of our population is over-prudeish, it feels like sometimes!   
*Hugs Ik* Warned for what???

| | | I have a lot of guy friends, but they would all probably be embaressed if I hugged them. And one or two of them have girlfriends already, so it wouldn't be appropriete really for me to hug them.
But dude, at my school, we would get in trouble for doing that in school. There is a school rule against public display of affection- which includes hugging or holding hands. It's wierd, because I see people do exactly that, and do not get into trouble, yet this one time, a friend of mine was walking along with her bf, and he was about to fall. She grabbed his hand to keep him from falling, and at that moment, a teacher walked by, and gave them detention for it. Strange, huh?

That's balogna, if you ask me. What a load of bull. But hey, just wait to you get out in the real world, and can get smacked with a harrasment lawsuit! Whoo-hoo!

| | | yeah, well, the head-people at my school are wierd. There's stuff that we aren't allowed to wear because it is "gang related". Yet we don't have any gangs at our school. I mean, my school is a prep school, not a gang school.

@Luis: CM, of course! He was born to be hugged! Why don't you use a picture of yourself as an avatar? That'd be easy to recognize
@Locke: whoa, that's waaay to much of work! What do you do?

| | | All of the schools I went to had a no touching policy as well. They figured as long as no one was allowed to kiss, hug, grab, hit, etc., all of the problems that could pop up from that would be on the students and not the staff for allowing such behavior. If a girl got harrassed, everyone knew they weren't supposed to be touching in the first place. If someone got hugged or kissed and didn't like it, well you weren't supposed to. If someone saw it and was upset by it, again, they weren't supposed to. Most teachers would let it slide if a couple were holding hands, or hugging in the morning or at the end of school though so long as it wasn't in anyones way or more than just a simply display of affection.
It cut down on trouble with the student body to be a little leniant that way rather than have everyone hiding to do that. If they just wanted a little hug and had to go hide, chances are it would lead to more than just a little hug since they were already breaking a rule and hiding.
