Here in Mexico happens quite often.  
The weirdest part is that I feel out of place with that practice despite the fact that I’ve been living here all my life, really, I do it out of habit rather than conviction.

I’m from Texas and my family does not do this kissing thing. It seems French or Latin American
 
A firm handshake between men and a gentle and quick hug between men and women on a first name basis, extended family. Strangers it depends but a simple hello, how are you? would do. Kissing is too close for comfort and distance equals respect of someone’s personal space, at least it’s how I see it.
 
I prefer a handshake or simple hello.
 
Unfortunately many people have chosen to mimic the idiotic customs of blacks. Bumping fist, saying ‘nah’ instead of ‘no’ and ‘my/mah bad’ etc.

Again?

I am from Argentina. It is very normal here, men with men as formality, reunion of friends or relatives, or shake hands, is the same  
, And man with woman always a kiss, it is very rare and uncomfortable to shake hands between a man and a woman

HIGH IMPACT DAINTY KISSING VIOLENCE

I kiss you on both sides of your cheek and underneath your chin. As is the custom of… a-my PAYple.

You know not what you have rot hasbo

@Background Pony #3347  
Yeah but I don’t think people normally loudly exclaim it like a drill sergeant when they do it.

“kiss”  
“KISS”  
“KISS”

Is “Kiss Kiss Kiss” going to become a meme? It seems like meme material.

Here in Brazil, we do that with friends and family. Normally man kisses the woman like this or the woman does it as well…

@Background Pony #916B  
Yep. I from Malaysia.  
Only family member and closest of friends (girl to girl only) can do this.

La bise

@Background Pony #3347  
We do it in Austria too. But Only to the Closest of Friends and Family Members

@Background Pony #916B  
Further proves that I don’t understand what the big deal is (about chick kissing).

@Background Pony #3347  
Asians don’t? Really?
 
I’m southeast asian and we do this all the time, everytime. South asians do them too. I can’t speak for the far east like japan korea or china, but we in the malaysia filipino indonesia thailand, we do this.

big mac:Why are they allowed to kiss and not me and my new Sugar Bear?

The greatest part of this was Photo Finish with her “Kiss Kiss Kiss”.

@Background Pony #3347  
My point was that the cheek-kiss might’ve driven someone into shipping these two and writing a mad clop-fic about it.  
Btw, a cheek-kiss is worldwide know gesture I believe.

C’est bien.

Actually: “Cheek kissing is very common in Southern, Central and Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean, the Middle East, the Horn of Africa and Latin America. It is not as common in English-speaking Canada and the United States, Asia and Northern Europe.”  
So I don’t know if it’s that big of a deal to be too excited or go as far as making a clop-fic.

Imagine that someone is writing a clop-fic ’bout this right now.

KISS KISS KISS KISS

They do the French thing now, I guess.
