The Hug Theory

hug me t-shirts would be cool

Aww!! I'm going to puit a ign up saying free hugs... though the rejection could be awful... oh no.. I'm sure someone would hug me.. if only to pick my pockets...

haha. i want a hug me t-shirt... cant u buy iron on transfer stuff you can design yourself??? where from? if not can i copywrite the idea? xxx

a hug stand!!!

now theres a social experiment.

set up a desk with posters and everything offering hugs and other cheery up type stuff.

outside a train station or something.

It works at my school ^^ Although, people I dont know seem to be confused as to why I'm hugging them...

That's quite an interesting experiment. I might just give it a go on the tub train in rush hour this evening

I'm all for hugginess, especially in festival land. With a complete strangers elsewhere though, it's just a recipe for a smack in the mouth.

I want a hug me tee shirt

i like this thread

personally, i always introduce myself and then ask for hugs when i'm dealing with strangers, it's just more polite. mabey i'll try your method sometime

I tryed to hug a stranger today and i got kneed in the goolies

awwwwww. thats not very nice! xxx

Hihi I like hugs

When i don't know the people i always ask before i hug them, some people don't like to be touched by strangers, use the smiling experiment for a few years now. That means when you smile to a person they will smile to antoher etc. etc. etc.
Make the world a shining place!

BIG HUGS & SMILES for every child from age of 0 to 126 years!

*giggles*

cole, where did you find the huggalicious one? i want it!

I love the huggalicious one! I am sad that it is not a word my friend made up (she thought she did) but I want it anyway...in better for me colors.
I think I am going to make one that says hug on one boob and me on the other. That should be an interesting experiment

In my burlesque classes I give homework. One of them is that you have to make eye contact with a stranger and smile at them (not in a creepy way, but in a genuine happy way), and not only see what happens but see how it makes you feel.
The overall response, they smile back and it makes the initiator feel better about him/herself and then s/he feels the desire to smile more. It turns into an uplifting cycle.

Except for one student who is shy, and the woman struck up a conversation with her which made her a bit nervous. But the student went with it, and the lady helped her pick a nice pair of shoes! So she got a smile, the feel good feeling AND a pair of shoes, just for functioning outside her comfort zone.

I want to go to burlesque classes.............

I hugged a man in B & Q just now for helping me find the right bits to fix my toilet. He seemed a bit taken aback but he didn't run away screaming!
