I'm not so much an extended hugger either....I like the nice, quick, squeezy hugs. I kind of like to crush people a little bit...and pick them up if they're shorter than me, and at 6', there are few people I know shorter than me.

Go with the flow, you can always move in a little closer or not.

See, now the guy hug I totally understand, but I never even think about whether or not my cheek brushes up against someone else...it either happens or it doesnt for me...I'm not one to pay too much attention to that.
