How Huggable Are You?

[Golurk 468]

Most of us have been hugged before. If you haven't, I feel very sorry for you.   But, for those of us that have, this begs a question: in general, how huggable are you as a person? Basically, if you offered someone a hug (assuming they aren't unfond of hugs), how likely would they be to accept?

 

Myself, I like to think I'm very huggable. I get hugs a lot from others, and to this day only one person has ever denied a hug from me. I blame it on my warm personality and "gentle giant" appearance. People are generally comfortable around me, which I guess sometimes translates to hugs.

 

So, MLP Forums. Who can share the love?

Hugs are possible the most awkward thing in the world and I hate them. It's just like clutching onto a massive heap of flesh whilst you self-consciously try to breathe quieter than usual so you don't sound like your sniffing the Huggee.

 

I am indeed a brick wall :3

I'm like a cute adorable kitten, when people hug me. I know I sound sappy but, it is pretty true since people enjoy hugging me. I am indeed a huggable kitten. :3

Meh...I take a hug anytime, just I'm not the one to give one. Except in a twenty more days; my grandmother is visiting in Alaska. I live in Alaska, she lives in my true I was born in place of Indianapolis, I'm looking forward to seeing her again.

I can only recall about 3 hugs within the past 3 years.

 

I'm fat, though, and being big like this usually means I'm huggable, right? If not, then I dunno. My hugs are probably awkward, because I both don't like them, and am not used to them.

[GhostPony750 959]

Grizzly bear I guess.

I hate hugging, it's a waste of time and you can smell this horrible breath scent, just terrible.

Not for me 3:

[Zacharias 191]

I'd like to say I'm kitty kind of huggable but thanks to the fact that I get one hug about every 3 months, I'd rather go with brick wall level.

I cannot hug at all. It's awkward and uncomfortable. I recoil at the very thought of it. Even Internet hugs make me feel uncomfortable. I never initiate hugs, but I don't reject them (though I try to stop them before they start) for fear of being rude.

 

To be honest, I'm not into physical contact in general. Hugs, hand holding, even handshakes. It's not that I'm cold or unsociable. It's just something I can't stand.

I never offer people hugs unless my mother is nudging me and hissing in my ear, "Hug him! He looks like he's a hugger. C'mon, hug him!" 

 

I hate it. I don't know why, I have this thing about being touched by people I don't know. I'm fine with handshakes and whatnot, but I just don't like the full-body contact thing. 

 

Set phasers to prude...

 

In any case, I am likely to return the hug. I won't just sit there. And since people tend to hug me a lot, I guess I'm a decent hugger, I just don't like doing it. 

 

If I see you and I actually hug you, then you are among the Chosen Few. Appreciate it.

Where I go to school men giving each other hugs is not taboo as other places would. As a community of men who grow as together enjoy embracing each other no matter the situation. At many schools men giving hugs to each other would be a sign of homosexuality, but where I go to school it is a sign of friendship greetings to each other. If you ever see me at a Brony Convention or meetup (which I will be at many in the coming months) don't be afraid to ask me for a hug. 

[the_jetfighter 94]

im honestly not big into hugging. physical contact, human touch is an important way of communication, im more of a handshake guy im six feet tall and go to the gym quite often so most of the time people find me approachable anyway. but when it comes to family etc, i can make an acception. 

[Katskratch 59]

I'm thin and small for a guy, so it would be easy to wrap one's arms around me, but because I'm thin I don't exactly have a lot in terms of insulation, as it were, to pad out the hug. So I imagine it would be fairly average. Only nice if the hugger wanted it to be.

[DubWolf 17,356]

I definitely like giving hugs whenever possible, but not excessively. If I had a girl friend, I would probably hug her all the time, sealed with a kiss .

[N.W. 3,619]

Depends: Who is it? Do they smell? Are they dirty? When was the last time I showered? Do I smell? Am I dirty?

Yes I am rather picky, but id rather not hug someone if I am smelly, especially if it is a girl.

[Broseph 215]

I've been told I give good hugs, however my group of friends stopped doing all that stuff about 2 or 3 years ago.
Well, at least we don't do it as much as we did..
But still, I'm really skinny, so hugging me would be a bit like hugging a stick.. Or a pole.. Or Slender man.. Only a helluva lot shorter.

I don't mind hugs though.

[Zygen 6,066]

Idk nobody's really rated my hugs or hugablity or anything.

 

Now, i love getting and giving hugs, and people have given me hugs before randomly(Including this one time my crush hugged me, that was just awesome .)

 

However it also depends on if i'm expecting the hug, sometimes i'm not good at reading if someones going to hug me shake my hand or what, so it gets confusing sometimes.

 

I will give hugs though, i love hugs, i won't probably initiate them though most of the time, since i don't want to make someone who doesn't want one feel uncomfortable.

 

But i love giving and getting hugs, of course the best ones are the ones that aren't from my mom or something, since they hug me alot, i like the ones i get from others like girls and stuff, of course those are rare.

 

How good a hugger i am idk, but I love hugs. I'll accept a hug if I can read that you want to give me a hug(i guess waiting till 8th grade to jump out of homeschooling into public school leaves me with some eh Social skills sometimes).

[TheSupremeLeaderOfChaos 1,210]

The only time I reject hugs is if I really don't like you, you're sweaty, or if I don't know you at all.    A lot of the time I'm pretty huggable, but there are others where I just don't want anyone to touch me. But for the most part, I think I'm about a kitten on the huggable level. Though I do admit, the brick wall one made me laugh.

[Princess Periwinkle 3,775]

I'm a grizzly bear.

 

...

 

Oh, you're talking about huggability? Psh. Still a grizzly bear.

 

But if I like you I'll let you hug me. :3 Otherwise you're limited to side-hugs.

[hellocat 308]

The girls hug me all the time. Never return the hugs though... XD (Unless I'm looking for something more lol... o.o) They seem to get annoyed by that but whatevs

[Xievie 498]

I only hug and allow people to hug if I am comfortable with it.

That being said, I don't get hugged very often because I never get to hug the kind of people I'd hug back. Anybody who hugs me I tend to stiffen up an try to shake them off because those are usually people I'd like to have personal space from.

 

Those who I WANT to hug or allow to hug me never really have hugged me.

The ones I feel closest to never hug me. How sad. ;A;

 

Anyways, I voted average because I'm definitely huggable, but I really don't know HOW huggable since I am never really hugged.

 

Uhm, I'll tell you a secret...

 

I like to hug a/my pillow at night. Especially since I never get to hug a real person. It's sad that I have to hug a pillow rather than a person because I can't go without hugging something. If only my pillow could hug back... If only my pillow was a real person...

 

[Away 2,077]

In person, it varies from average to grizzly bear. It all really depends on my mood and the situation. I usually have no problems hugging any family members. Outside of family, it's more awkward and uncomfortable for me, even with friends and such.

 

Over the Internet though, I'm definitely more of a kitten or teddy bear. I love to offer hugs to fellow bronies. However, I learned today that even then, I can still make some people uncomfortable. I think what I'll do from now on is just wait until I've become very acquainted with someone before offering a hug. If I sense that it makes them uncomfortable, then I'll just simply stop and won't offer any more hugs from then on.

 

So yeah, I actually learned a new lesson on friendship today lol.

 

Dear Princess Celestia,

Even over the Internet, people's personal space still varies and it's important to respect that. So not every friend will like to be hugged.

Your faithful student, LatinoChurro.

i don't usually get hugs, but then again i can be rather shy. so i don't usually start the hug. if a girl does offer me a hug, i accept it. i see myself as being a huggable person in that if a hug is needed or wanted, i will more often than not give the person a hug. hugs are fun and friendly and i am both of those! ya know what, here you go! all of you! (>^-^)>

[verycreativeusername 1,800]

Grizzly bear. I don't hug often and I have a short whitelist of people I'd let hug me. It's not that easy to get into. I hardly hug too.

[fimdash 1,196]

Not sure how huggable I am. Sometimes getting a hug is awkward, and sometimes getting a hug feels really nice. Supposedly I'm not very good at it  people have insulted my hugging before in the past. Once a girl told me I gave awkward hugs, and I wasn't too surprised. I don't hug people that often, so my awkward hugging was probably due to inexperience, and the fact that I didn't really feel all that close with her. I wouldn't say I'm that bad though If I truly felt close to someone, I'm sure that hugging that person would come as natural as breathing.

Only three girls hug me that aren't related to me. But they hug me often, so I guess I'm a grizzly bear-average. Oh well, I ain't even mad...
