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.

    Culturally it is not a normal gesture here, like it is in other countries. That’s all there is to it.

    To clarify, I’m talking about men who spend a lot of personal time with each other, I’m not talking about first time meeting. What level of physical affection is comfortable for male friendships?
