I find kisses (cheek to cheek) more intimate because I can feel the texture of their cheeks or their makeup sticks to my face or I can smell their breath. There are different types of hugs. Depending on the person I do a side hug. Less closeness.
Mmm, probably did for a bit, but it's not gonna undo a cultural practice entirely. The close proximity might have been/be an issue, but there's no messy wet kisses or full lip to cheek contact. You're kissing air more than anything else lol.
In france cheek kissing is so basic haha, it's actually super intimate to hug someone. Means you're really close to that person or they're family. I'dd be so weirded out if i got hugged by an acquaintance. 😂
I remember when I went to the USA to see my girlfriend and I greeted her sister the French way and kissed her cheeks and thought nothing of it but then after I came back to France my girlfriend told me I shocked them both and I remembered only French people greet with kisses and not Americans and I felt thankful my girlfriend did not hold it against me. Her sister must have thought I was crazy though 😅
I'm european (from estonia) and if somebody greeted me with a kiss or even a hug i would be so confused and weirded out. Estonians are very introverted, if you're planing to come here keep that in mind😊
I can totally understand that. I'm from Austria. I absolutely feel uncomfortable when strangers kiss me on the cheek or hug me. I'll only hug people who I feel an instant connection with.
From latvia I’d same it’s the same. In the baltics and in Nordic countries people don’t greet with hugs and kisses. Im russian though and I know people in Russia so I feel like I have opposite identities lol
I remember once in like a posh party from like my college senior days , I went to this really posh college and this party was a formal party and this European cousin of my friend greeted me so while I went in for a hug she went in for the double kiss on the cheek .......it ended up like a kiss on the lips 💀
Yeah it is terrible. Happened with my friend before. We went in for the hug and I went to kiss her on the cheek, but we kept going the same way so it looked like I was trying to kiss her on the mouth 😭 Everyone was looking so weirded and grossed out at me 😅
A similar situation happened to me with my cousin, and we accidentally kissed on the mouth in front of everyone at school. This was 4 years ago, but it still embarrasses me.😭
@@timtreefrog9646 yeah it's similar here. Handshakes for business or formal, the one lip smile and a not for aquatintces, hugs for friends and family. Unless the first time meeting is a date or a good friend of a friend or something like that, then probably also a hug.
Seit ihr deutsch? Ich hab auf jeden Fall schon beides gesehen, aber es sind mehr so die influencer und Jugendliche mit den Küsschen und der Rest ohne finde ich 😅
😂😂 I just picked it up real Quick bc it was less awkward than to find myself fumbling. I didn’t know EVERYONE you met would do it! I guess it’s nice, I don’t know how I feel about it actually 😂l🤣
I’m from Hawai’i and we greet everyone with a kiss. Greeting a mainlander shocks them. The ones with the harder hearts are allergic to physical contact lol.
Im a Brazilian and it's super normal to greet people with cheek kisses! When i went to the US, i had a friend, so i went to her house and greeted her with a cheek kiss, she called me crazy and then i explained her my culture, lmao💀😭
I remember my school had German exchange students in Russia and German girls would hug each other in greeting everyday. And they were like "You don't hug each other?". And I remember saying something like "Why would we? We see each other every day. We don't even say goodbye or hello. Just start from where we left off" 😭
As a European, I think that hugs are way more intimate 😅😅
I'm Agree
I find kisses (cheek to cheek) more intimate because I can feel the texture of their cheeks or their makeup sticks to my face or I can smell their breath. There are different types of hugs. Depending on the person I do a side hug. Less closeness.
Skin to skin contact is more intimate. A hug at least there’s layers of clothes between.
I'm German and everybody here hugs. Even people you don't know, like a friend brings another friend for the first time. Kissing is quite unusual
@jyn88 but when you greet eith kisses you dint actually touch your lips to their cheeks, but I find that way more intimate too
As a European, i can actually relate to this😭
Yeah me too
fr same
same😂❤❤
I’m part American AND European so i relate to both 😂
Same bro..😭✋🏼
Being Italian, I am a double cheek kisser lol

I really thought Covid would end that kiss greeting thing.

It did for like 3 years where we just used only elbows to greet, but now that it's basically gone a lot of cultures started greeting like this
@@vaulz_covid is not gone at all LOL my town is still getting it all over and I've coughed for 4 years now
@@vaulz_started? MF THAT WAS NEVER GONE!
No culture doesnt have to talk. this greeting is older than your land and even your ancestors did it

@@maykee_.morikoe yo!
In France it's way worse ! Depending of the région it is 1 , 2 , 3 4 or + kisses on the cheek 💀 but usually it's 2😅

i'm east european, we kiss three times. oh, and also when saying goodbye you also kiss
As an Arab, I confirm that there are the same traditions, but with an increase in the number of kisses 😭

me and friends do that anyways bc they’re hispanic and i’m italian 😭

bot
No😭j always have to do this as an arabbbb and it’s like 20 kisses😭😭😭
ACTUALLY ✋😭
I do 100
Frr 😭
Frrr
Unfortunately, it is true that we Arabs are like this😭
Its not even common in all European countries to do this. Im german. 99% dont great each other with kisses. Austria aswell.
British too. If we are meeting someone for the first time it is a polite nod. Hugs for people we know well. Girls sometimes kiss their besties.
@@timtreefrog9646 yeah it's similar here. Handshakes for business or formal, the one lip smile and a not for aquatintces, hugs for friends and family. Unless the first time meeting is a date or a good friend of a friend or something like that, then probably also a hug.
This is hilarious! 😂 I can totally relate to this. It's funny how some people just can't handle physical touch. Great content!
bot?
In Europe we actually hug a lot and kisses too
Where in Europe?
not in France. nobody hugs anybody here. it's either a handshake if you don't know them that well, or a kiss on the cheek
As a Hungarian this is relatable 😭
I live in Hungary too 😢
Fr, and there comes your Mom/dads friend you've never seen in your entire life and they go like "You Grow so much! " And then kisses you 😂😂😂❤❤❤
As a european myself I can confirm that I myself don't like physical touch lol
But we do kiss a lot
lol that sounds sus
@@Hahahahahhahah875 Lol meaning as in we kiss each other on the cheek when we greet each other 😂
@@EneaAndAleasWorld970 lol I know I just sounded funny

It's more like a traditional gesture only family actually kisses your cheek
I swear why r the comments so dead these days 😭
Because 99% of tiktokers are insufferable and cancelled her over a mistake 😂

In my culture we do that too😂
pov me and my hungarian family when i greet them, yeah, still not used to it after years lol
As an indian i would be horrified, thats why i go straight to namaste 😂
Three kisses, not two.
French gets two
Depends on the region
I really dislike the 3 kisses in the next 😂
My relatives prefer 4 kisses and I hate it so much.
all eyes on rafah.
For an Arab of colour that is so relatable and relaxing 😎
Im European 😘🇳🇱
no because my american friends came to france a while ago and they were so confused when everyone greeted like this😭
i would’ve been like oh my god so the trope is true
I have no idea where people have been
Please elaborate

But it gets really awkward when ur dads friend vists💀💀
She looks fine she is beautiful no matter what💥💥💛

I am from Europe and I would react the same way cause in Germany we don’t do that
Yeah we do…

Same in Finland 😂 handshake or light hug, no kisses
I am mad at people in the comments saying that all Europeans do that. Nope. We dont
It’s cuz it’s too familiar. My family is from the islands and do this but my friends are like “girl just hug me” 🤣
same with Mexicans. Or is that just my family 😭😭😭

And I remember saying something like "Why would we? We see each other every day. We don't even say goodbye or hello. Just start from where we left off" 😭
I’m Mexican and I would usually do the cheek to cheek kiss for friends. For family cheek to cheek kiss with a hug after.
I hope that someday you will get to meet a European grandmother. They are the pros at kissing people they’ve never met
As a Hispanic, this is me at simple birthday parties. 😭🙃
