    New acquiantances - handshakes
    Friends and acquiantances - generic waving
    Male friends I haven't seen in a long time - a number of slaps on the arms and the back, resulting in hospitalisation of the victim
    Women friends - hugs and kisses on the cheek, or a handshake with a pat on the arm
    SO - long groping hugs and something else

      Yes! My response was going to be I shake, then zip up.

      But I guess the conversation has drifted somewhat.

      Glad I'm not the only one. I was having problems with "hugger" in this context.

      Maybe it could refer to babies instead? Hug them, or shake them to death.

          There is nothing like a good australian hug, a lick or a kiss, a grope on the arse and a bit of a dry root.

          thats certainly the most masculine and manly way of doing it.

              Its usually a brisk hug with a couple slaps in the back.

              You might be on to something there. The gentlemen in quesiton is Hispanic. That's the type of hug he gives, brisk with a few slaps on the back.

                  Yeah, we don't do that much here, do we Caligastia?

                  Or maybe that's just the impersonality a huge megalopolis like Wellington instills in you. When you move to, say, New York, everything gets so much closer and more friendly.

                    What's the point in formality.
                    To show people you have respect for them. But you probably dont know what respect means anyway....

                      I think americans are generally more touchy-feely than NZers.

                      Us kiwis still have a bit of the unemotional british in us.

                        Here in Quebec, well Montreal and the out-skirts guys gives hand shakes to other guys and kiss and hug girl friends. But hugs between guys are not rare and I dont find that weird....as long as they dont start kissing.

                            Women always seem to wanna hug me....lol...maybe it's the big guy thing tho...I've been told by the ladies that nobody gives a better hug than a really big guy...::shrug:: I dunno....never been on the recieving end of one, so I guess I shall just take their word for it.

                            Kisses on the cheek or hand for the ladies too...yeah...that's a pretty regular occurance.

                            Guys either get the nod of acknowledgement or a handshake, with about equal frequency.

I am not a guy..but my two cents is...I hug male and Female Friends when I feel the situations is right...my children are the only ones I hug on a daily basis they are just so DARN huggable
                                The only reason I was gone for so long was because I hate you people!!!
