Yes, I last hugged a stranger… at the end of Fight Club, at the movie theater. I held out my arms, and they moved in for the hug, so it was not a surprise. ( I do have a build not unlike Meat Loaf / Bob)

That’s one of the things I miss about hanging out with the wonderful hippie gang in South Florida – Hugs were plentiful, warm, and never forced both with new friends and old.
