Goodbye hugs for the girls if theyre very close friends, and hello hugs occasionaly.

I shake hands with the more closed off friends, do a bro five/hug with my brother and people that seem to get it, and the slap/tuck casually and often because I'm lazy. I don't give fistbumps, theyre shitty, but I don't refuse when offered.

Physical greetings and goodbyes used to stress me out a lot for some reason. Now they don't so much. I don't do it all the time, but at least half the time I'll initiate something if they didnt, especially if we're close. It's only awkward if you worry about it too much or attempt to do it to quick or without paying attention, which is the wrong way to go about greeting someone.

It's on an entirely case by case basis. I like to enter a room with energy though. I don't understand people who just sort of lurk in and sit down or stay standing.

I usually do the fist bump with most of my friends but some I hug.

If they're friends a hug.  If I'm meeting them, generally a handshake.

Sometimes I'm insecure and thinking a lot or whatever and I'm the guy who walks in and says nothing and stands around

Best friend: we don't make any physical contact. We just say sup and peace
All other dudes and dude friends are fist bumps, unless they want to pull a fast one with a hand shake or brotherly hug.
Chicks I usually give high fives or hugs

This is the MDMA generation. Hugs are the only way to go IMO.

I feel awkward if I DON'T greet/depart with some form of hand gesture and/or hug. It shows sincerity and genuineness in my opinion.
It's a must for me, unless the other person is obviously uncomfortably withdrawn.

If its an official meeting, I do the mandatory hand shake.

When its with friends and contacts. Don't touch me unless I go for it first.

Keep your nasty diseased hands to yourself. Fuck your handshake, fuck your fist bump and don't even try to go for a hug.

That's my general attitude towards full contact greetings

It always bothers me when I think someones going for the fist bump and it turns out to be a handshake...or vice versa. That good ole open palm slapping closed fist nearly always feels at least a little awkward.

"I have no way of knowing whether you, who eventually will read this record, like stories or not. If you do not, no doubt you have turned these pages without attention. I confess that I love them. Indeed, it often seems to me that of all the good things in the world, the only ones humanity can claim for itself are stories and music; the rest, mercy, beauty, sleep, clean water and hot food (as the Ascian would have said) are all the work of the Increate. Thus, stories are small things indeed in the scheme of the universe, but it is hard not to love best what is our own—hard for me, at least."

I am a big fan of a strong handshake.... there is nothing else like it. To me it is a sign of respect of each other. Hugs are too much in most cases, only if I have not seen them in a long time or if they are female (I feel weird shaking a womens hand, lol)

I feel like people who don't want any kind of contact probably have issues with people in general

I feel like if a friend wont hug you or your not comfortable hugging your friend, well, thats really not a friend.

Whats friend if you cant even hug?

Cant be that close. But I am an overly loving person perhaps.

I give handshakes or waves to people I've just met or am not too familiar with (an exception: new people who are extremely warm and friendly; they usually initiate a hug).

I give hugs to close friends and people who are more than acquaintances but not quite solid friends.

I do hugs for most women I know and firm handshakes for those I don't know.  For guys I do a firm handshake with one hand and the bro hug with the other or an extended arm grab for formal events and business.

That's how I feel..
Over the recent years I've become very withdrawn and nervous in social situations, keeping to myself.
So i'm sure to show my good loving intentions with greetings and such, so people don't just see (the snobby dude not talking to anyone).

Introversion is often unfortunately grouped with pretentiousness.

If I don't touch flesh with you upon meeting then there isn't really a friendship to speak of i'm afraid. I don't care how close you think you are with your friends, if you don't touch flesh you may aswell be strangers in my book.
I find it sad that a lot of people don't see the value in it, or even find it distasteful??

Do you not like human contact?

I'm pretty sure the last time I saw aZombie in person, before he left I have him a hug. I don't think we did that the first two times we met up.
