arabs
Read Malory's Le Morte D'Arthur. Every time two knights that hadn't seen each other for a while met, he describes them as kissing and crying.
The Soviets seemed fine with it
In most societies where homosexuals aren't a big deal or where they are harshly punished for being homosexuals it is more normal for straight men to show affection with hand holding and kissing.
In southern France men kiss each other on the cheeks to say hello/goodbye
Kissing on the cheeks among friends is pretty common in Italy.
I hate it but it's undoubtedly common.
in all of france, and in the french speaking part of belgium
they're annoying about it tho, since you do 3 kisses in the south, 2 in the rest of france, and 1 in belgium. And if you don't get the number right it gets awkward quick
>Kissing on the cheeks among friends is pretty common in Italy
Also in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay
>he doesn't squeeze his buddies dick when they meet
lol one guy pick up and smokes the fag he throw away
Men from my part of france only do this with women, and men of our family. Male friends shake hands, as do acquaintances and strangers.
It is not actual kisses btw. You don't put your lips on the other person's cheek, just your own cheek, and you kiss the air close to his ear. Otherwise you're weird.
Entire Southern Europe and Balkans in fact.
I know, I'm from belgium
I was just simplfying for outsiders to understand
cause it's way more complicated than I said
I changed schools 2 years ago and I had a hard time with that cause at my old school the norm was to kiss the girls once and fistbump the guys.
Here the norm is to kiss once, but some people (newbies like me) tried to shake hands, and some french people still try to inforce their stupid 2 kisses rule on us. Belgium will not be invaded another time, you stupid froggies.
All around it's a bad experience and I wish we would just do the same as the english, wich is to half-smile awkwardly from a distance
>he doesn't tuck in his homies good night
whatever happened to friendship
You are idiot, touching each other cheeks is not "kiss".
All of them until the fags retroactively made normal male platonic love "homoerotic".
France?
they've even associated two straight dudes having sex with eachother with their faggotry
degenerates
I like this, wish it was more common in America
Guys tend not to smell as good as chicks. I wouldn't wanna get THAT close to my friends.
I know right. Now they touch balls, and don't even say "No homo".
Fucking fags.
>swigs vodka
>throws bottle on the ground
>puffs cigarette
>throws it on the ground
>his friend picks it up and smokes it
This webm is fucking gold.
it's because of your country that is becoming less common
In countries where men are actually men. It's pretty normal in all of the Mediterranean basin I think. Mostly among friends / family.
In Russia it's pretty normal.
>be Englishman
>go to live in France for a bit
>get introduced to hot girl
>she leans in with the cheek
>I panic, realise I don't know the etiquette
>give her an actual kiss on the cheek
>don't kiss the the other cheek as she moves in
>awkward
>everyone makes fun of me for calling the Channel the "English" Channel
>French cucks don't even call it the French channel
And that's why I voted Leave.
The Einsatzgruppen was an anti-terrorist organization.
There is something aesthetic about this. I bet Mishima would have loved this if he were alive
he even pushes him like "get the fuck out of here" when he picks up the cig, I love it
Not in all of France, only in the south.
Bet they shagged after this
Yeah when a French meet a foreigner it's always awkward, I had my award moment when I was little in the UK, trying to say hello to girls by kissing them, they did not understand that. When I was living in Spain I had a French buddy who didn't know kissing on the cheeks wasn't universal, so he tried it on a Chinese friend of mine, she probably felt he was going to rape her and he was completely taken aback by her refusal to say hello.Pretty funny

>He doesn't provide emotional support to his bros in their times of need
>He doesn't share reliable tips and trivia with his bros
>He doesn't fistbump
Serb kiss each other three times on the cheeks, regardless of gender. It was more commonplace earlier, now it's mostly a family affair, especially on ''Slava''.
Men where I come from punch each other in the jaw to greet , 2 punches for flinching
