Why don’t guys kiss 💋 each other like women do when we greet each other?

Question

Laura131 · Accepted Answer

I think it's more of a colutre thing cuz here if not just guys but girls as well unless they are family members or really close friends (like BFF type thing) they won't kiss on cheeks but more of a hug (if we talk about just friends) all other is just a handshake

@jennz6 Depends on culture a lot

OlderAndWiser · Accepted Answer

We are men, not women, and we are different. Kidding another man is not something that i want to do. I’ll shake his hand or, for my closest friend, I may give him a brief hug.

There’s no reason why we should act like women. . . thank you, Jesus!

Bricealan · Accepted Answer

@jennz6 The French do, as you will see in many movies... Gay men kiss.

Maybe_Maybe_not · Answer

It looks like kissing (or in fact fake kissing), and being tactile in general is more common in Latin Europe, regardless of gender. While it is uncommon in Anglo-Saxon countries. Briefly said it' a sort of cultural and historical clash between "cold" and "warm" regions.

ManOnFire · Answer

Because I'm not Italian, but also because men just don't do that, and we don't have to. Hell, I think it's gross and cringey seeing two women kissing or hugging around the waist like you see in some girls' friends or prom photos. I don't think women should be embracing each other like that either.

Miristheiss · Answer

I live in the U. S. A. Most women don't kiss each other here either. That is done more in other countries. Women may hug but not usually kiss.

wynning · Answer

Depends on the culture but typically the impression is that it's considered to be gay or too touchy feely.

sage2021 · Answer

I think guys are more into giving each other than big, solid hug instead.
You see guys hugging when they first see each other. I think it has taken the place of the handshake that guys used to do when they met up with other guys they know.

DJB72 · Answer

It depends on the culture you're raised in and the culture you live in. Western culture - heavily influenced by the US and UK - doesn't accept it as something normal. France has traditionally not had a problem with it. It was normal behaviour in the middle east 2000 years ago to greet with a kiss on the cheek.

Crimsyjo · Answer

I'm a woman and I wouldn't kiss another woman in greeting I don't like touch unless it's affectionate, sexual or romantic. I don't need to greet my female friends that why.

Finchie40 · Answer

Because women are more open about their sexuality than most men are , some men do kiss each other on the cheek I guess it comes down to their culture and how they were raised. I haveItalian relatives and friends that hug me and kiss me on the cheek when they see me the girls’ will kiss me on the lips Just how I grew up

serious · Answer

Good question. I just suppose it is digusting to even think like that that is why.

exitseven · Answer

Girls are hot , even to each other. Lots of girls have experimented with sexwith other girls. A guy would never consider it Most guys are gross and disgusting

Anonymous · Answer

The question is not why men don't. The real question is why women do.

I think there are multiple of reasons, but the two biggest are it's socially acceptable for women to do it, but not for men, and because women tend to be more likely to be sexually/romantically attracted to their same sex.

mikey96 · Answer

I don't think this is a matter of gender but more a matter of culture. In many arabic countries, the men hold hands as a sign of friendship. But in the US, unless you are gay OR from a different cultural background, but living in the US, this is not something men typically do as a greeting.

XXblack88 · Answer

I don't know unless they're gay I wouldn't know why they would

PrincessC16 · Answer

Maybe they're still scared to display affection in public?

Anonymous · Answer

Because they're so unsure about their own sexuality and masculinity that a kiss on the cheek might make them or others question their sexuality. They're afraid of their masculinity disappearing because they're so lacking within.

bowenw · Answer

It seems to be a cultural thing. I don’t see men or women kissing each other when greeting each other unless they are family or very close.

Shiprex · Answer

Because it's a physically intimate act that is reserved only for those who warrant it. Like why don't women smooch with men the same way they do with each other when they don't know these men?

strateguy632 · Answer

I think the meaning of a kiss is "love for a girl friend " so it is wrong for other gals or men.

Samantha_17 · Answer

Guys do kiss too in certain eastern cultures.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Guys are incredibly insecure and MUCH too scared to be seen as fags!! Women don't give a shit if anyone sees them as lezzies.

It depends on the culture. For example, in some Arab countries, men will hold hands. In Japan, if anyone attempts to kiss cheeks, they freak out!
