Why are (apparently) straight guys greeting each other with kisses?

It drives me up the friggin wall...and guys who carry their missus pocket-book...and guys that carry their babies around in those stupid things on their backs....

But the kissing thing is the worst...I wouldn't normally be seen dead in a supermarket but just before Xmas I had to dash to M&S for some pate(had an important client to impress for dinner)... anyway this man kiss greeting thing was going on all around me. Why cant a firm handshake do anymore ffs.
Sparrow dear....In all of 2008 I only darkened the doors of a supermarket once....the missus handles that online or schlepping around herself...
doc...I can tell you're a man's man...I couldn't picture you with a 'manbag' in any supermarket.

you have some real issues with your masculinity- did your mother dress you up in her clothes and make you do fashion shows when you were a kid or something?

have fun in that ivory tower buddy!

That depends.. You might personally hate it but majority of European guys might be considered gay because this is what they consider normal. Personally, I don't think anythings wrong with that. You do not have to prove to the world you are straight by not doing these things.

Don't be so narrow minded, why should people have to fit into the little behavioural boxes you assign for them.
"I wouldn't normally be seen dead in a supermarket" - wow, how manly of you!

I rarely see anything like that happen..You sound a tad phycopathic.
And who cares if they do anyways? Let them do what they want.
Jeeze, they probly think the same thing when they see you shaking hands.. hasn't it been proven hand-shakes are more disease prone?

Hey, maybe they were Italian or French, they greet eachother with kisses all the time.

its Lovely i see foreign lads do it all the time and i think its sweet

men are so attractive when they show their Feminine side , its endearing and delightful
what do you want them to do punch eachother ?

a firm handshake is so the 70's and false bring on the hugging and kissing
its a different culture thats all have you never travelled ?

A man greeting another man with a kiss is GAY, in British culture anyway, I would never kiss another man, greeting or not greeting

Women are redundant as more and more men are turning gay. But then us girls always appreciate a cuddle and a peck whether with fellow girls or men. I don't think it is an homosexual sign but then I don't know that I would be comfortable if I was out with a bloke and he kept kissing fellow blokes in greeting, that would just be weird.

Behaviours just change as time goes by. In principle, there's nothing negative in this modern habit. Honi soit qui mal y pense, said. To blame is who thinks something bad about it!
