WOW! That was stinking edumacational! I was surprised that they omitted one very appropriate variation. I call it the man-shake-hug. When greeting a man whom you see frequently, you begin with a hand shake. However, when the joy of seeing said person overcomes you, you must take it to the next level. While continuing with the handshake, give a hug with the non-shaking hand. This provides what is known as a hug “block,” allowing a nice compromise for the over-loving hugger and the man who just hates to touch. Plus it is a more controlled hug so it is acceptable in all public places. Sorry, but I have not instructional “how-to” video.

CW - they call that hug - The Shug

Micah - I noticed they didn’t show the Bowers’ variation. You know the bear hug that picks you up off the ground in excitement to see his brother/s. They only showed it in context of a sports victory. I guess the Bowers’ hug is only for those big guys who like to abuse their littler friends with violent but lovable hug. I am glad to see that you are picking up my technique though.

Wow. I never knew being a man could be so complex. I’m glad I’m a girl.
