Somewhat "harmless", yet very annoying!
Here are some advice against people (mostly male family members) who insist on giving all women they meet a "friendly" bear hug.
Both methods here may indeed prove effective, one "a little" less subtle than the other ...
Story:
Dear Abby: May I offer a method that's fast, effective and creates very little attention: When Uncle Harry approaches with open arms, the woman should hold her upper arms close to her chest and slide her forearms up and in front of her breasts. Clenching her fists will provide strength to her upper arms. This position will protect her breasts from contact with Uncle Harry and increase the circumference for her upper body, making a bear hug more difficult.
While holding this posture, she should make direct eye contact and firmly say, "No!" Nothing more. A wishy-washy response will not be effective. He may object, cajole or question, but regardless of what he says, or how many times he persists, her only response should be to repeat, "I said, 'No!"' or, "I do not want you to hug me." -- An Old Man Who Knows What Works
Dear Abby: I know a lady who had the same problem, and after three warnings, she finally became fed up. She was a black belt in karate. Needless to say, it worked like a charm. And after another woman did the same thing to the man, he started being an even better "Christian." -- On the Ladies' Side in N.Y.
