why do guys lift girls up sometimes when they hug?

I have several guy friends who do this when they hug me and it just made me curious.

Huh, maybe we’re just light and it works out that way :D At least, hopefully that’s the case. xD
But really, I don’t know. Hmm.

To show that they are strong…
To be extra close?

Hmmm not really sure why we do it, think it just adds an extra fun element to a hug, maybe extra affection? maybe to make the girl feel like she has a strong guy who will protect her? all guess work this!

I guess so they don’t have to bend down as much. Or they just feel like it.

maybe they don’t want to bend over so they make you come to their level

or maybe they just like you and want to hug you closer

Because some girls are soo freaking short, I feel like lifting them up to annoy them as I am being annoyed by having to bend over to hug them. **** them and their tinyness, those miniature women! They are like fascimiles of grown women. It’s mostly just fun to do though.

Yeah but how tall are you? If you are 5 foot 3, then well you should. I am 6 foot three, and I detest short women with a passion, especially when they say like tall guys.
