Are You a Hugger or a Handshaker?

0:00 If you are not a hugger and you meet a hugger like Tanya and you go in with a handshake, that creates a very awkward collision.

0:08 Yeah, I've had some awkward moments, but I will say most of the time if people go in with the hand and then they see me coming in for the hug, they'll come in for the hug.

0:14 They'll change.

0:15 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:15 Well, Michaela, when you met all those guys on Blind Isn't Love or Love Isn't Blind and narrowed it down to Rusty, your choice, you had to meet and say hi to all the guys at some point. Did you handshake, hug, do the one cheek kiss?

0:31 Oh, so I went in for a hug, but one of them went in for a handshake. So it was kind of awkward, but I don't I don't know what the right thing to do is anymore because I'm a hugger.

0:41 It really is, I think, individual dependent. I mean, I think at work you just extend your hand. But then again, at our work with artists and the kind of vibe we have, a lot of people hug.

0:55 Right.

0:56 I mean, Mark, what do you do? I'm a handshaker because I don't want to assume hug.

1:01 Yeah.

1:02 It's weird as a male to assume hug, right?

1:04 But I feel like people don't like shaking hands anymore.

1:06 What about hugging other guys? Hugging other guys is okay, but then you do that kind of like half hug, that kind of smack on the back one time. Yeah, I know, but I find that to be so contrived and weird that we do that.

1:19 I think if you are a hugger, people can see you coming. You go ahead and you keep that. But if you want to have an absolute zero chance of an awkward collision, just extend the hand. That would be the best way to keep it clean and simple. You're on air with Ryan Seacrest. What has your name built? Your career, your finances, your home. Well, think about this for everybody.
