I am not much of a hugger. A firm handshake, slap on the shoulder, eye contact, shouldn't that be enough. My family are the ones I hug. It seems that everyone you come in contact with wants to do the bro hug.
I admit that my trepidation may come from not being a very good bro hugger. Kinda like the cool handshake/jive from the 70's that honkies could never master without looking pre-programmed.
I saw a casual acquaintance the other day. I stuck my hand out for the shake, he took my hand, we shook and then his other arm was around my neck before I could get my hand uncleanched. We ended up with our hands smashed between us in an area lower than my comfort zone allowed. I did an evasive manuever that was similar to a meringue dance. Just shake my hand.
Don't hug me bro.
