Elizabeth Laird, known as "The Hug Lady," by the soldiers at Ft. Hood, attends every single deployment and homecoming at the army base with one purpose: to hug every soldier going to or returning from war.

That brought a tear to my eye, everyone should know about "The Huge Lady".

Regardless the time of day be it 2 PM or 3 AM she has been there for every departure/Arrival except for a few while she was tending to her eldest daughters family upon her death. She went from burying her husband at the The Texas Veterans Memorial Cemetery to hug some departing/arrival soldiers.

That's nothin' short of amazing!

Not much of a hugger except for "Toots", my daughter, and granddaughters. I do tend to call cashiers of the female persuasion dear or cutie. Never had a complaint. Most consider it a compliment.

Have been known to give my pals a bear hug, but I don't think that's what y'all are discussin' here. It tends to be painful for the receiver, doncha know!

I do have friends of about 35 years that I hug every year when I visit. It comes natural.

Not a hugger unless I know you pretty well. Women who want to hug me though, I'll make an exception. I'm flexible like that.

2. Rape culture

that's why she thinks this is acceptable. Movies, television, etc all show that this is acceptable behavior. That a man's body isn't his own and that men really like to be assaulted in this way (if they struggle you just have to hold on harder, they really like it).

Why ask for permission? Men exist in a perpetual state of "yes".

Any sort of physical, spoken, or visual interaction should require explicit consent from both individuals plus a witness before it can proceed.

Everything else is assault or worse.

If one of you primitives went to hug me, I'd require you sign a waiver stating that you will pay for anything I need up to an including: Soap, peroxide, scrubbies, slighly acidic cleaners, doctor bills, or battery acid before doing so.

I don't consider it rape if a normal person (excludes DU members) hugs me, but I will kinda shove/sluff you off if I isn't in the mood.

i will make  note of that....

You're all good, Sea. I'd let you hug me any day of the week. Even Saturday. Sunday's a no can do though. It's football day. I do a lot of stuff for prep.

I come from a very hands-off family.  I can shake hands because it is a normal thing to do  but I don't liked to be hugged at all unless it's coming from a very close friend.  My gf's mother is a serial hugger, it really taxes my patience to spend time with her.

[98ZJUSMC]

If I know someone is a long hugger, I try to face the television. 

Unfortunately, there never seems to be one in the room at the time.

It doesn't bother me one way or the other, and it especially doesn't bother me if it's a pretty woman.  However, I find it ironic that DUmmie bonobo posted that, since such behavior is pretty much an archetype of bonobo behavior.

I dunno.  I never gave it much thought.  I hug some of my close friends, I probably don't hug as much as I should.  What I absolutely loathe is a crappy handshake.  A weak one, or a sweaty palm one.  That is so ooky.  It's more the exception than the rule now, a good handshake.  That sucks.

My Daddy always taught me ya could figure out a guy's character by his handshake. I've found it to be pretty accurate. I get complaints I grip a little hard, but that's the way I was taught.

My Dad and Granddad too.  Funny, most of the wimpy handshakes come from guys.  Do guys change their handshakes when they shake a girl's hand?

Generations------I taught my sons to wait to offer his hand for a hand shake from a female.  The female may not want to touch him, if she offers then fine.

Along these lines I find some men especially in business get surprised when a woman holds our her hand, it is like they expect this behavior from a male, but seldom a woman.

Hubby does not trust the Glad Hand men that will shake hands with the devil.  Those that he has just met that slap him on the shoulder or what not ,he cringes from. 

Me, if I have not seen someone in awhile and they male or female come over and give me a hug then I know they are a true friend and I don't smell bad.

Me too -- unless it's the guy I love, I'm afraid I'm a bit stiff if someone grabs me for a hug.  The dog and cat get squished by me though  .

I get in the floor every night for hugs from my Bassets. They are a little low to the ground, heh, heh!

Hell of a good idea! "Toots" is gettin new tits after goin' thru a mastectomy! Doc says they'll stand up on their own! Gonna be a little touchy at first, I would think.

Of course they do, if they're considerate of the woman.

Most women have much smaller, slimmer hands than men.

I have heard that a handshake is a note of sinceretty. Some people say i have a very strong handshake..that and direct eye contact...

[AllosaursRus]

Don't tell "Toots" that. I'm pretty sure she would disagree. She does have smaller more petite hands, but she's got a helluva grip.

My wife almost kicked my ass once because a well-endowed waitress asked me if everything was okay, and stupid me said yes. Based on that encounter I assume that I'd have important parts removed in my sleep if I went around hugging women so I keep my hands to myself. If a woman tries to hug me and I can't avoid it I do the quick back pat and I'm out of there.
