I find I end up in different embraces due mostly to body shapes and familiarity. With tall, skinny women that I know fairly well, it's the nipple-nipple style parallel close embrace, which can be awkward for a lot of moves, but is very comfortable for milongas and simple steps. Tall women with a fuller bosom make a "V" embrace more comfortable. Some women will still look over my shoulder, while some will look to their right, towards the open end of the "V". As height decreases, I am more likely to end up in an open embrace. I don't find a close embrace comfortable when my chin is over the lady's head. And here in Australia, many women are not comfortable with a close embrace at all, especially those new to Tango.
