Here is a quote from a professor who has studied hugging (some academics have more fun than others):
Everyone has their own way of hugging. There’s the long hug, the brief hug, the bear hug, the from-behind hug, the neck-waist hug, the criss-cross hug, the light hug, the big squeeze.
I may be missing out on something. What is a criss-cross hug? And a neck-waist hug?

Tzarine, I agree. I want to see the from-behind-hug combined with the criss-cross hug.

We need to organise a potters meet-up and try the various options.

We’re going to need a couple of volunteers. Do I see raised hands anyone?
P.S. The Big Squeeze sounds like a member of Al Capone’s gang.

Re Hugs: I have been reliable informed that I am cuddly in the same way that a birdcage isn't.

hmmm... thank you for your research, Voy!
agreed that that definition of a criss cross hug gives about as much information as the definitions of the urban dictionary.

I'm not a natural hugger, but I'll relent to avoid appearing unapproachable. My style is a sort of awkward, perfunctory, get-it-over-quickly embrace.

at the end of our conference, everyone from my office is called to the stage to get a handshake from the three conference presidents and a small thank you gift (the one we got this year was actually nice!) ... the president of our association hugged someone he worked more closely with, and then after that also the next person, so then it was my turn and i felt really awkward, preparing for him to hug me to. but just as i kind of leaned forward, he said something like "didn't i just see you earlier", and no idea what he meant, but i said "no, i think that was yesterday", and then he shook my hand and i walked on to the next president.

I think those of us with northern European blood tend to be awkward huggers.

I think those of us with northern European blood tend to be awkward huggers. I guess I have northern European blood so I should be an awkward hugger. But I was born in South Africa so do my instincts get confused? I find it natural to hug women but not men.

Well, England never really thought of itself as European, so I guess it's OK for me to be a natural hugger...?

Living in France for 20 years I found it natural to give women friends a kiss (on the cheeks). I continued when we got to Chipping Sodbury to a certain amount of surprise. The Sodburyiettes now accept it but I don't think the habit is spreading.

Tzarine -- me too. It's here in the winter polo season that gets crazy . Tons of Argies, a bunch of Chileans and Mexicans - and then... Brits, and French, and Russians , and Canadians , and Pakistanis, and Indians.... and and and... you never know which version they grew up with - or have adopted...
