Actually, if you want to know the truth, I don't like it! I like manly men, no kissy kissies!

what to think about it, I was in the airline as a crew member for 20 yrs and have seen and visited so many counteries I dont even remember, the issue here is , its there culture and its normal for the people in those counteries,why make it a issue,in europe or Middle east, or some other counteries you do kiss a man on the cheek as a custom and habit and are expected to do so in return,I dont see it as strange

It's a cultural thing. I'm Italian and my dad and brothers do it all the time when they greet each other hello and good bye. They're showing a very strong display of respect for one another by doing that.

I think it's sooo European! It doesn't bother me in the least. Like someone else said, it's a cultural thing.
It's more of a respect thing, as others have stated, however; I do admire their ability to be openly affectionate as well.

I think nothing of it. My fathers family still lives in Europe and they kiss me on the check when I visit them. Its a sign of affection. When I was in Europoe, when I met new people that were guys they wouldn't kiss me on the cheek however with the women I would kiss them on the cheek.

I think it is a traditional greeting among Italian and French men.

i believe in the cultural relativism of this practice. it is by no means a form of homosexuality, but a simple version of the handshake, hug, or other normally accepted greeting gesture brought down through generations of tradition.

I feel nothing other than a respect for their observation of a national tradition. Not sure what you are expecting people to say.

Its just a cultural thing, no biggie at all. Men should not be so paranoid.
