  • I haven't pay much attention but here in México women kiss women and men shake hands with men.

  • Not all of Europe kisses, in Sweden in the rest of Scandinavia we absolutely don't do that, we barely hug friends.

  • @ubermisogynist Europeans think all Americans are the same snobs.. hehe, funny.

  • Correction - in Spain, you offer the left cheek first.

  • @nabmohs1 LOL you don't see it..No such thing as "Americans" either..The United States is just one country of man in the Americas..anyone from the Americas can call themselves Americans

  • There is no such thing as a "European". Stupid Americans.

  • I never thought it was big deal. I only kiss my relatives, though.

  • @pakitos In southern europe we also do that a lot (I am from Portugal). And when it is a men with a woman it also common to greet with a kiss. But not all Europeans do that, I believe in Germany they only greet strangers with a kiss in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg (both southern states), northern germans and scandinavians are so cold that they barely hug their friends and family.

  • men kiss men...why o why?

  • hm, yeah...not so much in america. I double kiss my mother like that but..other than that..not so much.

  • Erm, I'm British and I only do this with close female relatives. And generally you'd never do this with strangers, and you'd be hard pressed to find a man who'd do it to another man, even if they know each other well!

  • I met this girl on holiday and after an hour of so of talking she offered me her cheek, I gave her a full on kiss on the cheek is this ok? we are both english
