 Hug or handshake?

When you greet someone, do you prefer hugs or handshakes(or something else)?

womans = hug unless its business, then its a pinch on the ass.
mans = handshake unless its family or close friends.

Of course it depends on the person.
Sometimes I do the handshake/half-hug combo.
Full out hugs are usually reserved for women and old friends I haven't seen forever.

"My children," said an old man to his boys scared by a figure in the dark entry, "my children, you will never see any thing worse than yourselves." As in dreams, so in the scarcely less fluid events of the world, every man sees himself as colossal, without knowing that it is himself. The good, compared to the evil which he sees, is as his own good to his own evil.
~ R.W. Emerson, "Spiritual Laws"

I chose other because I would bow or wave I think, but something else. I would definitely hug some people but generally speaking otherwise I probably wouldn't. I don't hate handshakes although I don't like the idea of being forced to shake a womans hand, and you never know where there hand has been, or your may be dirty for that matter. I don't like people who are inflicted with western chauvinism either, who use the "manly" handshake as some sort of baromoter.

I only shake hands occasionally. Usually when I first meet someone or at the end of a pool game( the good sportsmanship thing). After I know you for awhile you either get classified into a hug category or a smile and a hi.
There's alot more people in the smile group than the hug group.

Hug girls, handshakes to guys.
--------------------
Nuisance is this noise of mine, Crying inside the hollow cave, Does the sun never reach the eyes
Of the prehistoric caveman, He had nothing but fire, And yet I make more noise, Not because of my tools, But because of a lack.
Ask the shaman
Or rabbi or priest, This modern world keeps a lid on me,
Contains my noise, so I can release it in poetry,
Release it from nothing, nowhere
Was I forgetting that place near my neck?
Ah yes... the jugular

I'm indifferent, and a heterosexual male, hugs are fine, handshakes are fine.

Just thought I'd give my $0.02. I actually prefer hugs regardless of sex, but not if it seems awkward for the other person.

I just give the old head nod. Otherwise handshakes. I don't like hugs unless its someone I haven't seen in forever.

Depends on the person, but I have hugged strangers before, just to make them feel uncomfortable.

A hug for a friend, but probably only a handshake for a stranger.  I have boundaries with people I don't know very well.
