I hug family members and my wife. I may hug someone I have known a long time. I am not much into hugging people I really do not know well. What about you?

I hug family members and close friends. Occasionally I'm forced to hug my sales guys when they're in town, but other than that I keep it to people I'm comfortable with.

I hug friends and family. I find it a bit weird with work colleagues, especially the ones I don't even know that well.

I tend to only hug family and female friends. For the men (close friends) I will do the pound hug. (hand shake + 1 arm hug)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pound_hug

A stylized greeting, exclusively performed between two people, the pound hug (also referred to as a "pound shake," "one-armed hug," "dude hug," "homie hug," "shug," "hetero hug," "bro-grab," "bro hug," "thug hug," "man-hug" or a "hip-hop hug") consists of a combination of a handshake and one-armed hug. Unlike the traditional hug, which symbolically and effectively removes interpersonal barriers and unites the two persons embracing, the male hug—performed by keeping the right hand locked in handshake while the left arm wraps around the other's shoulder—interposes the obstacle of the two right arms to the joining of the two bodies. The origin of this hug is not clear.
