I don't really give a fuck. I am fine with hugging people, but I don't *need* them. Come to think of it, my last hug from anyone was well over three weeks ago. I don't really think about it. I don't actually give real hugs to guys, just the prolonged handshake and a pat on the back with the other hand.
In a relationship it is a little different. If my girlfriend never hugged me I would feel a little put off by it.
Among my friends though, we use different shows of affection. We don't really get all huggy and tell each other we love each other, we show our affection by playfully picking on each other, exchanging insults, wrestling each other to the ground, etc. People that I am not cool with I do not joke with.
