Hugs are quite funny- as Annette said they can express so much without saying anything. I am a big hugger. I grew up in a very huggy family- the opposite of my SO. However, no matter how down I am a simple hug from him makes my day all better. 

One of the biggest protesters of my affection is my 7 year old brother- he is in that phase where cooties are real and I might as well run a dagger thru this chest if I try to hug him in front of his friends. Hahahaha.

  Hugs, Roxy

OMG, Roxy, thanks for the tipoff!  I have avatars and signatures turned off, because sometimes the wife or kids walk by while I'm on here.  Annette - you're even more beautiful than I thought! 

[annette]

Roxy and Colleen, thank you for the kind words but you make me blush a little.
Colleen i know you never hand out compliments for no reason and I really feel flattered but when it comes to looks I'm a bit shy.
The picture was taken this year on amsterdam airport just for leaving to Toronto.
Beautifull people are the ones who can  make a difference in the way that other people are feeling by giving them comfort or make them happy.
So I can say that I'm blessed with beautifull  people around me like you.
Kind, warm, friendly and supporting persons, so you are real beauties.
and Roxy,  give my love to Patty ( and no need to say that you're prettier with every new avatar)

Happy newyear dear friends

love
annette

So I can say that I'm blessed with beautifull  people around me like you.

Aww... thanks, sweetie.  I hope I can look as nice as you when I've been on HRT a while.  And if you ever come to Toronto again, please let me know, and I'll get all my friends together and meet you at the airport!  And we'll have a fantastic time!

[Jillieann Rose]

Some one say hugs.
Count me in.
Really I love to hug and get hugs.
I grew-up in a family that never hugged.
Or even said I love you.
But now I can't wait to hug my family and friends.
I so agree with Annette

a hug from a friend will say more than thousend words.

By the way Annette your new avatar is the best.
I just love your smile.
Hugs,
Jillieann

[Christy Edwards]

Thanks Roxy for starting this post. Hugs are wonderful  and needed. (give and recieve)

Hugs to all, Christy

[Mrs Erocse]

Christy a party sounds like fun!

Happy New Years Everyone!
We hope that 2011 is so awesome for you all that you can't even remember 2010.

Big big hugs.

Patty & Roxy

[NDelible Gurl]

I'm crashing this hugging party!

I love hugs and give them to my friends whenever I can! Like Jillieann my family was never too big on hugs and saying I love you. I want to change that!

Hugs mean a lot to me. It is a very prominent show of affection and most certainly produce favorable endorphins which get this gal through her school days

HUGS

[JessicaH]

I always took hugs for granted and never thougt too much about it. My dad wasnt a big hugger but he did give us hugs and we hugged him all the time when we were kids. Even as a teen, i gave hugs to mom and friends all the time.

As a dad, i have ALWAYS hugged my daughters every time I get a chance and they do the same to me and others. I tell them that I love them and hug them many times a day and they do the same to me and others. I have done my best to teach them to express love and affection so I believe it will help them to have better and healthier relationships in the future.

Anyways, gotta go.  Kids need a hug! ;-)

Hugs definitely do release positive brain chemicals - oxytocin, which helps social bonding, and classically referred to as the 'loved hormone'.

Although I suspect I have Aspergers, I've never minded hugs as long as the person aint a stranger. Hugs seem to not be a part of other people's touch issues either.

So When you hug , do you pat or rub ?

   I don't know if it is true but, I been told most men pat the back of the person they are hugging, while women rub the back.

   I used to pat then without thinking of it sometime back (I don't know when) I started rubbing and sometimes I just squeeze tight.

  Hugs and a little rub, Roxy

[Colleen Ireland]

I'm a squeezer... I like to squeeze tight, and I also like to give a little kiss on the cheek.  Not like the French, though (one side, then the other)...

[cynthialee]

I am a squeezer also.

Love the new avatar Roxy.

[Jillieann Rose]

I am squeezer too. But I will occasionally rub.
I like to hold the hug for a little time rather than just a quick one.

[Jacquelyn]

I tend to squeeze and do a little awkward sway.
