that sounds pretty fucking gay.

fag

I heard French do it
It's so nice

For gratitude, just one. But I give thousands of kisses a day for women, this is how we compliment each other here.

Are you sure you can do this in Japan? I met some japanese chicks in the US, and they were childish/autistic as fuck, there's a long way before you can pat their shoulders. Lovely people btw.

>>68228124
They do.

women do it with each other
men do it with women
men do not do it with men

some places in Brazil you give two kisses, in others it's only one.
there are periods when we avoid doing that that, like during the avian flu stroke

Only females

>>68228266
It means you can kiss every day?

>>68228176
Same thing here.

Between close male friends we greet like this. Same for every girl i meet or greet (even for the first time) and for family. In fact this is entirely natural in France, especially in the south.

Kiss right cheek, then left (then right again for swiss people). Southerners might do this twice in a row.

Also you don't really 'kiss' the cheek, that is for girls. It's more of a cheek to cheek contact.

>>68228024
It's very common among my family for men greeting women and women greeting women, but we are a European mishmash so I can't speak for the typical South African on this.

>>68228024
what the fuck, people really do this? it's unheard of here, then again scandinavians are anti-social and depressed

>>68228024
I only greet with kiss cheeks (female) family members and/or female friends if they're long term friends or pretty.
My closest male friends and family members might get a hug though

twice, can be done both as a greeting and farewell
if you are men direct kiss is a no-no though. parallel cheek touch(mostly lefties) or sideways head bumping(mostly wingers) are preferred
a short half-hug with a pat in the back is also popular

parallel cheek touch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUIuD01cj4E
sideways head bump: https://youtu.be/MUBLJo1lFOk?t=15
short half-hug with back pat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsx6H_a4CvE

also walking arm-in-arm is also permissible for close friends, mostly done by old men

>>68228124
i think all mediterrenean regions do similar stuff i think. germanics tend to be socially distant to one another so they don't do stuff like this

>>68228452
whenever you meet a girl.

>>68228024
Yeah, in MENA, this is how we greet each other. Cheek kiss and handshake. However, only if the person you're kissing on cheek is of the same sex as you or a close relative.
A guy kissing a non-related girl on her cheek is seriously wrong.

That is backwards savagery.

Yeah same here. Most direct kisses with lips on cheeks are done by old women. People just bump their cheeks next to each other and make kissing sounds

>>68228835
I'll greet neighbours everyday if I were you

>>68228910
It's not backwards just there is cultural segregation between males and females in order to protect.

>>68228976
It's not faggotry. If something means something in a culture it doesn't necissirely mean the same thing in another.
Also, hand-holding for same sex isn't considered gay in the Arab world. It just means they're great friends. There was an Arabic-translated video about two guys holding hands and then getting harassed by Russians on the street for being gay and in the comment section everybody was confused on why they were harassing them as they were "just holding hands"
If a man is seen with a woman that isn't his wife or relative holding hands then it hurts public morality and everybody will stare at them.

>>68228176
same here

>>68229062
Yeah I think America is really much more developed than us in protection that every man and woman has +50 sexual partners before marriage lol.

>>68228024
Yes, it's the standard with women and close friends or relatives for men.

>>68228024
Depends.

A girl I know ? Every time, greetings and goodbye.

A girl I don't know ? Depends on her some want it some don't.

Men only if it is a traditional greeting, three times on a cheek, for christmas, weddings, slava and shit like that.

Girls also 3 times if it's the traditional greeting.

If being a faggot means not supporting immorality in relationships and AIDS then I'm the proudest faggot.

>>68228024
I do that, but only with female friends. Never with men. Not in work etc.

>>68229798
im pretty sure kissing another girl doesnt cause aids

Nope it doesn't but it leads to what causes aids.
And also there's herpes

>>68229930
no wtf
you kiss 3 times when meeting a friend female

>>68228024

we greet girls with two kisses.
male friends and family get a handshake and a hug.
you might also greet senior males who had an important role in raising you with two kisses. Like a father/grandfather or close uncle.

>>68229930
When you are not there, everyone kiss each other

No wonder why middle east is a fucking shithole.

>>68228024
We do that here. Guys don't do it to each other though.

Even if it's just a greeting it's the closest I've gotten to getting a gf.

>>68228024
Is this not a regular thing throughout the World?

Also me in underneath jerking off. No, homo.

>>68228024
here old people do it mostly but i dont think young people do it that much
also always men x woman, never same sex.
if you learn it as a kid you know its means nothing, its like shaking your hand

We Japanese people just bow each other

>>68230057
shiiiiet

Argentina.
You kiss women's cheek (and in some provinces 2 kisses in both cheeks). That's cool for having contact with them ;)

In case of men, if they're very close people, you kiss their cheek. Otherwise you shake hands

>>68228024
Women and women & women and men do it, even if you don't know them. Men usually hug or just shake hands.

>>68228024
It could just be personal nonsense falling into a cultural gap, but of all the people I kiss on the cheek as a greeting, I have kissed 90% of them elsewhere.


Everybody loves you when you're bi.
