Who doesn't love a good cuddle? Enjoying being close and offering as many hugs as necessary is a great quality in a man (or woman!). Most women won't want to continue a relationship with a man who isn't physically affectionate beyond sexual activity. Holding one another is a wonderful way to grow intimacy between a couple and those who are physically close have often been shown to have happier relationships.
In addition to this, most women love the feeling of a big strong hug from their man. It can make us feel safe and loved, so we'll always be wanting as many cuddles as possible. If cuddling doesn't come naturally for you, try to keep in mind that the woman you're with may be expecting some hugs. As long as you're not withholding completely, it won't be a problem.
