If a married woman or a woman who's in a committed relationship knows that another man has feelings for her, do you feel that it's wrong or inconsiderate for her to give him a hug?

Is it a polite, quick hug?

Or a long, full-body hug?

The former is pretty much always appropriate.

Curious why you ask this? I am a very affectionate person by nature. If I like someone I give them a big hug, maybe even a smack on the cheek - and that's for male or female. Yes, I am married and to me I see nothing wrong or "inconsiderate" about it - why would it be?

No, as long as it is not some 40 second full body hug. /lol

In our culture you hug/kiss everyone when arriving and leaving, or it's considered rude. Wouldn't matter anyway if some guy liked me, I'd still hug him. I can't control who likes me, there could someone else who likes me that no one knows about.

I voted no. BUT if your SO is uncomfortable with it, you shouldn't do it. Also, if you think the hug will give the liker some hope, don't do it.

Intimate hugs (wrong) but we all know that- given it isn't an open relationship.

I can't believe this even a poll question. Smh

No. Sex? Yes. A hug? No.

Mr. CSD hugs women all the time that he or I or both of us have known for years and I don't care. There is nothing to it besides the hug.
Too many put too much thought into things that make no difference at the end of the day.

It's only wrong from the standpoint that she may be encouraging something with him that she's aware of and shouldn't happen. There's nothing wrong with hugging in general, even if you are married - just be smart about it. Why "taunt" him just because you "hug everyone".

Why/how does she "know" the person has feelings for her?

I'm married, and if it somehow came to my attention that a friend had feelings for me, I would most likely find the idea of embracing that person to be awkward for all involved.

I don't know that there's anything "wrong " with it, but it would make me uncomfortable.
