Hug or shake hands?
Good morning,
Now apart from family and partner,
I'm in the volunteer fire department and there are women who come up to me and hug me from the side, and I shake hands with the men.
How do you handle this? Do you shake hands with everyone or only with certain people, or do you hug everyone?
Or if you are in a relationship, would your behavior change in such a situation or would it bother you in your partner?

Before corona it was usual with us at work that you shake your hand to greet every colleague. It’s a good thing that’s over now and has been pampered. That was the only good of corona.
I think if hugs or shaking hands depends on the relationship. You can hug close friends or favorite colleagues. You’d rather shake your hands.
When I first met my sister, I wanted to shake her hand first, but she unknownly embraced me.
I always welcome a gay mate with a hug.
For me, hugs do not mean that I am gay or strange to my wife, but that one likes one another (Friendly).
I find the passage very good and thank you
Depends on how familiar I am with the man. If very familiar and it is a joyful reunion, embrace and kiss him.
I’d just touch my wife.
So hug men and hand them to women?
No, only men I’m familiar with and the reunion is a great pleasure.
Don’t give a hand to anyone except my wife.
That’s what I used to do as an Orthodox Jew.
Sorry I kept this too short with the men I meant what you wrote, but thank you for the clarification
only hand, because I always remain professional in the professional environment.
if I were in a relationship, I wouldn’t give other women the hand.
And with friends? And why would no woman give the hand in a relationship
I have no female friends, so it’s not a problem ππππ»
I want to have nothing to do with other women, among them is body contact in form of hand or hugs
Ok thanks for the explanation
I don’t care
