why do guys like to do this?

...Because it's natural.

If a ngẫu nhiên guy touches my waist, I will most likely either

a: Kick him in the nuts
b: cú đấm him in the face

Either way, the dude's getting hurt.

Ya, but I don't know.

Well chances are the girl will not let a guy hold her boobs so I guess that knowing they can't do that they look for another place to hold, so they go for the waist because it's relatively close to the vagina but not so close that it would usually make the girl uncomfortable (Assuming the two are lovers)

Note: This is only a theory and bởi no means should it be taken as a legitimate answer.

Well I really don't know WHY ...but I think it's kinda sweet..u know ..actually I like it, ofcourse not from all the guys, cuz if any ngẫu nhiên guy come and hold my waist the most probable thing is that he'll get kicked LOL – Liên minh huyền thoại ...but if it's a guy friend hoặc boyfriend I think it's ok...btw girls also like to hold guys from the waist xD

I always thought that it's because the waist is close to a girl's butt, but I don't know.

Usually that's just a natural place to hug. I hug my Những người bạn around the waist...

idk.... but i think its cute :3

because (and this is just a thought) they like the feel of the curves.
anyway, if a guy held my waist....well, i guess it would depend on who it was...
if i liked the guy, i don't think i would care much....
if i didn't....he's probable gonna have some problems...
