Is the country you are from more of a 'Hugger' or a 'formal Handshake' kind of culture when it comes to greeting each other? (lemmy.world)

UK: Neither, there's handshakes for professional introductions and such but if I'm greeting someone normally, a friend, family member, etc, I'm not trying to touch them at all.

I agree with the above but will add I'm a minor oddity in that I'll find any excuse to give people hugs unless it's formal.

I'm a very 'huggy' person.
