Wear the hug, Give a Hug?

This past summer I went to Wisconsin Dells (Waterpark Capitol of the World for those of you who didn't know :smile: )
There's lots to do in The Dells. Of course water parks, Camping, Museums, Horseback riding, Theme parks, tours of the area, and Shopping. LOTS of it.

There were like 10 stores that were just strictly T-shirts and in every one you'd see these :

(This is my sister's Girlfriend, she gave me permission to use her pic)

They were like 10 dollars, you could get it in various color shirts, various fonts, various text colors, I mean really the options were endless.

I see these shirts everywhere here, especially when walking around downtown in The Dells. It's awesome! But I never see anyone give out hugs. :noclue:

So out of curiosity, when you see a Free Hugs shirt, regardless of were it's from - Sick Puppies official or something like shown above.

Do you give them a hug or do you feel awkward and just smile and move on?

When you wear Your Free Hugs shirt, do you shy away from people who come to hug you or do you go around hugging people?


*edit* I suppose it'd help if I put my answer in here lol.
When I was in The Dells I didn't go around hugging everyone I saw with the shirt on. It probably would of taken me a few hours. I didn't even give a hug out at all. But I have done it in other places upon seeing a shirt. Once a girl even looked at me and said "I never thought I'd hug a stranger just because of a shirt" and I thought it was kind of silly. :surprised:

When I wear mine, I've only given a hug to a teenager with autism that walked up to me and demanded not one, but four hugs. But that's the only time anyone has ever actually walked up to me and done it =/

Cool shirt!

When I wear a Free Hugs shirt, I don't usually give out tons of hugs. :laugh: But if someone ever asks, I will, I think I have, twice.

I don't have a shirt but depending on where I am, I might consider giving them one. When my family and I were in NYC last year, there was a random guy with a free hugs sign and my grandfather went to hug him and take a picture. Give me a few, I'll see if I can find it...

I've probably been asked 5 or 6 times for a hug when I'm wearing my shirt. I always stop and give hugs! :hug:

I'd totally stop and give a hug.
Actually this last weekend, I was at a friends and her eldest daughter was home with a few friends just kind of hanging out. I was talking with them, but didn't think to ask their names.

When I finally did, the girl Ariel had said "I was going to give you a hug, but then I thought that'd be weird since you don't know me"

I laughed and told her that it was fine, so she got up and gave me a hug. :biggrin:

I really... really.... REALLY want a rainbow-font Free Hugs / Sick Puppies shirt now. Even if that one is from the dells, it makes me want an SP version haha.



And, while I've never worn a free hugs shirt or even seen anyone wearing one... I'd probably take the hug if the person in the shirt were ok with it. And I'd happily give them, if asked. I like hugs, I don't think there's nearly enough of them anywhere ever, and the idea of bringing a smile to someone's face via that primal human connection of a hug makes me happy. :D



Wonder if I could get a free hugs shirt in time for the concert.... hmmmm.

I have never given anyone a hug I saw wearing one bbut usually my first thought is "Do you mean it or not?" But for the record, when I wear mine I fully accept all hugs and I actually mean it :-D
