Which people? i've never met anybody who thought that to be honest...

I only think hugging is bad if I'm about to get hugged by someone I hate or is a dirty smelly person wants to hug you then hell no. Other then that theres nothing wrong with hugs unless it's a bear hug and there trying to kill you.... In fact I hug my lil bro a lot he's like a little teddy bear and when I hug him it brings me joy I love the lil guy even tho he can be a brat from hell from time to time...

I know guys can be unsure about wether a hug is appropriate for the level of relationship they have with another guy (no, I am not talking gay stuff), but thinking hugging is bad? not in my experience.
-
For some people it's a cultural or religious thing, and some people are just not touchy-feely types. I don't consider hugging bad per se, but there are certain hugs which are not welcome: - hugs from strangers or people I don't like - insistent hugs from people who have unrequited romantic feelings for you - hugs from people who try to cop a feel - hugs when I have my hands full or am otherwise busy - crushing or uncomfortable hugs

hugging is not bad and HUGGING is bad

In fact in India social rules are very strict, and it is only now it is relaxing.In early times about 30 years back boys and girls even do not talk to each other in the school. Possibly distorted image of morality. Now a days things are changing. In eastern culture people see (other)women sexually only in day to day life,I feels. (Certainly they respect their mothers and loves their sisters than any other). So they are not being considered as any other human who being hugged because you love their presence, touch. In India you hug a woman only because to get carnal pleasure. As we know now a days in many arabian countries only a woman doctor check up a woman person, not as much but still.....

Perhaps some people may consider hugging as bad culture for them.

I guess it depends upon how you were raised;0)

They don't like to be touched,particularly by someone they don't know well.We used to know a guy nicknamed "Cop-a- feel" from a beach we used to take our boat to.Women avoided him like the plague.

It depends on the culture. I see another answering referring to Indian culture. Yes, we do maintain a safe distance between genders. Hugging is most accepted within the family. But once you cross that boundary, its not preferred here. Our culture emphasize more on preserving your youth, character and social ethics. I don't blame the other parts of world but in India, its more important to have sexual morality, concept of one-wife one husband etc are all important part of life. And any little act that may hint at wavering away from this is not accepted.

It all depends upon how they are raised, the culture and atmosphere they are familiar with. If they were not often touched as a child, they may likely feel uncomfortable. If one is abused, then they may equate touch with pain or something negative. Some people just need more personal space than others and feel crowded by hugs and displays of affection. Some might be embarrassed by it. There are a million reasons why someone might feel that way, and it's neither wrong or right. We are all just different and so it is usually a good idea to check it out before touching someone, especially if you don't know them well.

Hugging: fine Hugging with a boner in sweatpants: Not acceptable.
-
Some may think that it hurts.
-
may be they dont like the touch (feeling).... or may be they are the followers of Mr.Drasifbly :|
-
I don't. I think it's a good way to show affection for someone you like. (without it being too personal.)
-
They consider it wierd? Theres nothing wrong with hugging, depends how you do it and who you do it to, so you wouldn't go and just hug someone you don't or barely know cause thats just...creepy.
-
too many guys taking it as a step to grab, touch, pinch, smell, or grope appropriate body parts. hehehe
-
May be they smell bad? (hugs are Nice : )
-
Got me love to hug the ladies.
-
I DONT KNOW BUT I CONSIDER IT AS GOOD !!!!!!!!!
-
I dont like being hugged or giving hugs, I beleive in showing effection appropriatly by NOT invading personal space or full body groping, but then ive lost my interest in sex too so...
-
Over the years physical contact of any kind have been associated with being wrong, and as such people don’t like to be touch. Hugging also leaves a person in a vulnerable position.
-
Because some people do not know how to hug, they sneak a feel.
-
Mainly because of their own hang ups. They are not comfortable with the inter mingling of the sexes in any which way and that makes them defensive and unable to accept a friendly hug.
