Is it true that for girls hugging a guy makes you feel safe?

And some details:
Does it have to be with your partner or can it be a friend to make you feel that way?
If the guy is more muscular, does it make a difference?
Does this only happen every time or only if you're already scared?
Do side and lean in hugs make you feel this way or does it have to be a full embrace?
How tight should he hug you compared to how tight you're hugging him?

Yes, it is true that hugging a guy makes me feel safe.

1. Does it have to be with your partner or can it be a friend to make you feel that way?

It can be either/or. Usually though, I prefer my boyfriend. He's really tall and I'm super short so I feel really protected by him and I feel safe in his arms.

2. If the guy is more muscular, does it make a difference?

No, not really. It just means he's more muscular than others. Also, he is more likely to crush me and make me stop breathing, haha.

3. Does this only happen every time or only if you're already scared?

Every time usually when it's with my boyfriend, but it definitely makes me feel safer when I am scared.

4. Do side and lean in hugs make you feel this way or does it have to be a full embrace?

1) What's a lean in hug? Lol, sorry, but I'm not sure.
2) A full embrace definitely makes me feel safe.

5. How tight should he hug you compared to how tight you're hugging him?

Well, I would rather the hug not be a loose hug. I'd rather it be tighter than how tight I'm hugging him and I'm usually hugging as tight as I can without suffocating him.

I would prefer partner, my friends don't like hugging me xD

As for a muscular man, not really. I don't mind

He hugs me whenever we have to separate ways, I don't open up easily so I've never got a hug whenever I am scared.

Full embrace is better, I feel that its more intimate I don't know.

If he hugs me tighter than I do, its even better! :)

A little bit safe, yeah, if I know and like them. Not just muscular guys, though. Husky guys or tall guys, too.

Hell fucking no, a hug won't save me from a tiger or bear.

Any guy
Yes more safe if he's muscular
Every time
Full embrace
Tighter than I'm holding him

[Asker]

How much tighter?

[a_lizete]

Not where he chokes me but a little tighter
I like when my head gods into his chest especially if he smelled good
