Id like to hear your thoughts and your ways of countering the side hug if you have ever encountered them.

What's a side hug?


edit
(ah yes, google is youf friend)

What's worked for me is this:

O Goshi

Any time she goes for a side hug, you o goshi her. Eventually she'll get the message and stop the side hugs.

A

Be someone that she's attracted to and comfortable with! Sort those fundamentals and side hugs will likely turn into real hugs automatically.

Obviously, 'mones can help with attraction and comfort.

This!

The problem is with you not with her. Also, don't lean on pheromones. It's like walking with crutches when you don't need to.

Improve yourself and your social skills.

There is truth here, of course, but it is not always the whole story. I have a family member I've noticed gives just about everyone side-hugs. I can literally feel her intimidation every time it's time to say goodbye at a family function. Often, she'd avoid giving me a hug at all (and I allowed it).

Recently, pheromones have indeed helped get her to hug me - even a full, non-side hug. I've done my part, as well - like open my arms huge, with a big-disarming smile.

Some chicks are just real shy about hugging. Helping them feel comfortable with you is definitely key.

Recent 'mones I was wearing with full 2-arm hug success are Style and L2K v1. I have also received a full hug after an hour of exposure to Escape the Friend Zone, and another with PSE (was at a party involving alcohol, though...)

Position yourself so the girl can't get away with a side-hug. You know when hug time is coming - so open up your body language, smile. If you have to, say, "Come 'on, how bout a real hug?" or "Let's try that again!" Once you break the ice on the full-hugs, you should be able to get them again.

Finally, be aware that reluctance to hug can be a sign that there's major sexual tension between you. Chew on that.

You advise reaching for the crutches (pheromones), I say walk without them.

My advice is be the person women want to give a full hug to. It's not as hard as others make it look.

Even if she was shy or reluctant to hug people if you are hugable then she will not side hug you.

Try not to be a socially "challenged".

One of my friends is super popular. He could be a politician. When he enters a party he greets everyone, smiles at everyone, shakes everyone's hand with a short semi personal greeting. Women hug him, other women see this and follow suit.

Place blame where it belongs. On yourself. While others will say that pheromones will save the day, I say you can save the day without them.

Yes, side-hug is a symptom of a problem, not the problem itself.

Improving your social skills is key way to go about solving the real problem. In my own experience, good game is way more important than good 'mones.

However, this is a pheromone discussion forum and we are all here because we know 'mones can help improve our interactions with other people.

You are right. I forgot I was on a Pheromone site and I was giving advice so the OP could become a better man.
