Hmm, I'm a woman and I'm really not much of a everyday hugger, to anyone of any gender, other than my husband of course... he gets more hugs per capita than anyone I know. Hehe.

Now, if I haven't seen someone for a long time, of course that deserves a hug (likewise if I won't be seeing someone for a long time). But friends/relatives, on a daily basis? Naah. Maybe with my parents, we used to hug a lot when I was younger... but less as I grew up.

I am a fan of strong, meaningful handshakes, to show that I really am glad to see someone. And I do like to touch people on the arm, on the shoulder, etc. as a gesture of intimacy (if I am walking behind them or passing their work station), but not hugging. I don't think that's a gender thing... is it?
