Just thought of this...are you a handshake person, a hugging person, or a kiss on the face person, or....?

Usually, I am a handshake person-when meeting someone for the first time, but when meeting people from the boards, I am a hugging person. I have found that most PJ people are hugging people...unless they are from Seattle. :lol: (there was a serious discussion about this)

What type of person are you when meeting a person from the boards, or in general?
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    typically a cold, blank stare will suffice

    I am definitely a hugging person. I find that most people are okay with it even upon first meeting. The only time I do the handshake is in a professional situation where I haven't met someone before.

    It's settled, from now on I hug every soul I meet. And if necessary, freeze them in carbonite.

    I can do a bro hug only if at least 5 years has passed since our last meeting.

    Depends how hot they are. I mean when I met Truck in Montana I gave him a kiss. True story.

    Interesting question & responses.

    Handshake until I know them better and then I go by their rules as long as it is not uncomfortable. If you are a hugging person you get a hug. If you are a handshake person you get a handshake.

    Personally, I would leave it as a handshake unless I am very close to the person but I like to make people feel comfortable. (Within the limits!)
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    and what's with you guys that don't like hugs from the ladies? (I already know about 81...) but what about the others?

    BTW, I like the greeting RYEzupSF and I have going on. 8-)

    I grew up in a culture where it was customary to do the double-cheek kiss upon greeting...not so much a fan of that these days (and reminds me of that Seinfeld).

    Professional setting? Handshake.

    Someone I'm close to (even if only knowing them online initially and then moving to offline)? Hug. Maybe a kiss...it depends.

    An aside - I always found it funny how guys typically do the quick-hug-couple-of-pats-on-the-back thing. I was gonna dub it the "Tony Soprano", but he kissed alot of his crew too.

    My favorites are the big ol' bearhugs. My dad was a pro at those!

    Handshake to start with but if we hang out during or after the show, then a hug. Unless you are super hot or really cool, then you get a slap on the ass as if you just scored a touchdown! Then we are golden!!
