For a city that is all about showing public acceptance of gays and trans, why do the men seem so uptight as a matter of respect and greeting, for a man to kiss another man’s face, on the cheek of course?
Explain how people are all for 2 men frnech kissing, but a friendship kiss is too sexual, there seems to be a contradiction.
Are men not comfortable showing a bond with other men but let’s love the gays? I grew up with a kiss on the forehead or cheek is strictly general affection to show a sentimental care for the person.
Please try not to take it personally. It’s just a different culture. Here’s some more elaboration on the topic: https://freelymagazine.com/2019/03/29/to-hug-or-not-to-hug-physical-contacts-vary-across-cultures/
There’s also a tragic aspect to the low-contact culture. Episode 17 of Season 1 of the show Welcome to Wrexham actually explores this topic really well: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/126929-welcome-to-wrexham/season/1/episode/17 (also just a great ⚽ documentary)
