You sound like a typically insular modern asshole. You should probably just stay home if a hug from a familiar person makes your vagina this sandy.....Oh! And could you please move to a place where the people are comparatively uptight and ugly? Comparative to you, I mean.

@stillhuman - Seriously, okay? Stop hugging people. No one likes it. You're creepy.

fight fire with fire, next uncomfortable hug, just keep hugging and don't let go!

Fire with fire works every time.

@joneser:
I tired telling that to the management at Chuck E. Cheese and all I got was this lousy taser-burn!

No, no hugs. Period. End of story. Even if I know you. Thank you.

Hugging is the rot at the center of our dying society. It must stop.

Hump his leg, broski. That will teach him.

Not everyone feels comfortable having that level of physical intimacy with people they aren't close with. Why should the uncomfortable one be forced to bear it?

At leat he isn't giving your balls a shake

If it creeps you out, force the handshake. Don't be such passive aggressive, homophobic tools. Or just hug the fucker. Hugging or not hugging doesn't align you with any group of people, be it local or foreign, gay or straight. Your hangups will limit your potential.

i suggest you not make friends with parisians. your awkward situation meter will hit red alert.

Here is what you do dude. With the left hand grab their right arm, with your right, grab their right hand. If they don't get the hint just tell them you don't hug. I tend to be uptight about hugging like you, but I actually appreciate it when someone pushes me out of my comfort zone and forces human contact. Part of the human experience is navigating these exchanges and it is more rewarding to learn how to deal with them rather than posting anonymous articles because you can't bring yourself to speak to the person honestly.

Okay, I see you dudes like yer shakes.
I like the introducing to go more like this....
"This is Bradley, and it won't do you a damn bit of good knowing this motherless bastard.But man, he sure can put out.", girl number one coyly turns to girl number two with dramatic eye arch over the top of her burning cig.(Watch the eyes and look for lip licking or the telling twisting of the hair!)
Then it's up to the heterosexuals amongst us to decide if and when we are going in for tarty and whimsical brush--ups. I like to smell someone just ever so faintly and it is always impressive when they pick you up and cart you towards their drink,lap,mini van,poker game,wheelchair,gravel driveway,or even the bathroom for a chitchat.
And besides who doesn't like getting their ample backside patted adoringly(and tits pressed into some Danish rocker) while their degenerate boyfriend is loadin in gear or chatting up some preteen outside.The hug is the gateway for all kinds of evil.Use it correctly.

@Reymont - Seriously, okay? Stop being a douchebag. No one likes it. You're not so much creepy as you are a douchebag.

I also have to point out that this dangermouth person sounds like a lame ass.

It's a well-known fact that hugging is a gateway gesture into the inevitable next step, a reach-around. Just through you should know.

Just give him a long good hug the next time he gets too close to the point of making him uncomfortable. Sometimes passive aggression is necessary, it'll get your point across.

this is awesome!
