I thought about this after answering another question. I find that if I do happen to like a guy, my body will make sure that my arms go around his neck when hugging him. It's weird lol.
Do you hug differently when you're into the guy/girl?

Dude hugs often have what I call the “bro pat.” That is, as you embrace your dude friend in a hug, you firmly pat the other person’s back 2 to 3 times in a ritual signifying that you are still bros. Now, it’s important not to go over 5. Not only will this start to turn into a baby-burp hug (creating an awkward embrace between bros), but the hug would be going on too long. Pats on the back help give a hug timing.
Also, this kind of hug does not particularly happen with those outside the bro circle, however. Usually those are just firm handshakes. (Limp noodle handshakes will make you lose respect and man-points. Avoid at all costs.)
With women, it’s usually more of a softer hug, otherwise known as the “warm embrace” hug. Giving the firm tri bro pat may be misinterpreted as a back attack, which could result in unpleasant consequences. The warm embrace hug is more of a warm wrap. It’s less abrasive. For those the guy isn’t particularly close to, it becomes more like a half-assed warm embrace (aka a lukewarm embrace). Usually the wrap isn’t as strong, and in some cases, it may even be a one armed hug.
For cases of tall people, bending down to the person’s size may be necessary haha
Also, it’s a hug— apart from some SO situations, it’s generally a greeting. It’s not an invite to feel the person up. Geez. Some of y’all chill out.

Oh, definitely. Friend hugs are sooooooooooooooooooo different from I'm-into-you hugs.
Romantically hugs are longer. You engage the person who with more of your senses (you're more aware of their touch, you smell their hair, there's more contact -- and the contact is more sensual -- between the crooks of your necks). You let go slowly, separating from each other by just one point of contact at a time.

For me yes at a young age my guy friends would always get upset at me when other guys outside of our friend group came up and asked if they could hug me I have a large chest and one day they got tired of it so they pulled me to the side and told me that guy's only hug me so they can feel my boobs on their chest so they taught me how to side hug guys so if a guy ever came in for a hug just side hug them they ask for it they didn't say what kind LOL so from then on if I actually like the guy then I would front hug him
Yeah, I hugged my boyfriend tighter than I would hug friends and for longer. I used to hug him around his neck because to me it seemed more intimate but I was too short so just resorted to being the underneath hug arms lmao. But yeah there’s a difference I think.
647 opinions shared on Other topic. I hug my friends with more distance and friendship like hugs. When I hug someone I’m in love with, that is different. I would like to hold hat person forever. Damn I love those hugs!
Absolutely. When I'm into someone I hug with my whole body pressed into them. I'm trying to occupy their space. If I'm not into them, the hug is warm but not hungry.

Let’s be honest, you try a lot harder to not let your breasts touch a guy when you don’t want to give him the wrong idea.

I just hug people if they look like they need it. (Fyi Cops aren't big huggers.)
Yeah, I hug them closer and a bit tighter to me, and it lasts longer than a normal hug.
And I really like hugs either way, I'm a huggable guy 😂 I like the feeling of them, I also like to smell her hair if its smells nice, like fruity shampoo smell.-
Yeah, if I like him I actually let my tits press up on him, otherwise I will pat you on the back before I hug you.
-
I hardly ever shake hands. I’d rather hug, you never know how much someone may need it. It’s like an embrace. If I was into someone I’d probably give them a longer tighter hug than I would to a friend.
-
Hell yeah. When I hug a dude, it's a bro hug. Clasp hands, and bump chests which are blocked by the clasped hands and arms.
When I hug a chick I get alllllll up in there, like I'm trying to absorb her body into mine. Tight and body conforming. 16.1K opinions shared on Other topic. Gotta be honest with you I don't even really hug women unless they are close friends. Otherwise it's handshakes for everyone.
So if I hug you at all then I'm either into you or your a close friend or family member.-
My hands would (almost) always go around the neck with guys (I'm shortie and I do need to breathe), but the position of my head and the duration of the hug will change.
Although, I can hug my dad and partner with my arms and beneath theirs - a protecting hug, I suppose. -
Yea if I am really into someone or really care about a guy. I will hug him in different ways
1. Both arms under his and my hands placed on his back (front)
2. One arm on his back and the other hand behind his neck (front)
3. Resting my head on his neck/shoulder and hugging his body (side hug)
4. Hugs from behind, resting my face on the back of his neck or on his back.
Everyone else, gets the normal hugs lol. Yes definitely!! If I do not know a girl.. like if she is just an acquaintance I would just offer my hand rather than hug, if I know the girl like say from childhood and we are just friends I would just give her a slight hug, if I knew that the girl is into me and I like me.. then I'd hug differently..
1.6K opinions shared on Other topic. I think there are at least a few varying degrees of hugging. If I see someone I don't really care for and they go for a hug it's gonna be a meh kind and for every step up how much I like you at this point platonically, guy or girl it's going to gradually get more affectionate. So by the time we get to a girl I'm romantically interested in I'd say they do get a different hug.
I'm retarded with hugs.
My cousin for one demands that I hug harder.
One girl that had a crush on me who I was trying to friend zone (also my sister's best friend) I have a hug goodbye (following after my sister) and i get a text a few minutes later "Hey, did you mean anything by that hug you gave me?" I was like noo dangit why am I so bad with hugssssim always like this
gif-finder.com/.../Mr-Bean-Handshake.gifI hug like I'm allergic to them... unless its my girl.
1.5K opinions shared on Other topic. I used to want to hold the woman close and not let her go.
-
This is interesting. I find that i do tend to hug a person i am interested in longer than if i am just friends with the guy.
Well, yes because I don't hug people. I really dislike when people touch. I wouldn't even have hugged a person I was into. I'm only confortable doing it with my boyfriend and it took me a week to feel at ease doing it.
-
Usually no, because I have a frustrating tendency to develop feelings for attached or otherwise unavailable women. It would be entirely inappropriate if I did anything that might give that attraction away to them, or to anyone else for that matter.
Yeah a bro hug is totally different from a hug with a girl.
459 opinions shared on Other topic. Yes. I will even be kind of open with her about how I like feeling her. They usually laugh about it.

I usually don't hug, so if I hug you, just know I like you.
