This map is ridiculous.
It was common in Poland within boomers (maybe as influence from Soviets under their regime idk)
My aunts and grandmothers used to do it
I HATED IT SO MUCH AS KID. Whole Christmas ruined because you had to kiss old wrinkly lady, disgusting
Russian here, it’s not common in Russia.
EDIT: a lot of fellow Russians mentioned that it’s common in some cases. Can’t argue, Russia is a big country with different traditions in different social groups. But in general it’s not a common thing. At least not so common as handshake or wave.
In Argentina and Uruguay it’s common to kiss between men too.
Idk about all countries, but it’s not even a cheek kiss, well, it’s a literal cheek-kiss. Your cheeks „kiss“ together, your lips dont actually touch the other person
Where do this people get the data?
2 on each cheek if they’re close, 1 if they’re distant. 3 if it’s grandma or auntie
In france (and I imagine other countries) you are not supposed to actually kiss.
It’s putting your face somewhat close to their left or right and kissing the air instead, though the COVID made it slightly less common (in winter especially, unsurprisingly)
Very common in Quebec too
Depending of the country is: two kisses or one kiss. Usually in Latin America is just one kiss. In Spain it’s 2 kisses, depending on the closeness with the person you actually kiss on the cheeks or not.
I’m from a red country living in a grey country, so it’s all handshakes here. It’s funny and awkward when I do a handshake back home.
It’s important to mention that it’s not mouth-to-check action, but cheek-to-cheek
Colonies follow the colonizer. French and Spanish vs British.
That shit is not common in Mexico. I live in America but right by the border, like half of the people are I know are Mexicans, this is not something any of them do 😭
Little specification: In Colombia is common between women and between men and women. Cheek kissing between two men is not a thing really.
can anyone from brazil confirm if they casually kiss you on the lips as a form of greeting??
You have to do a map about one or two side hugs!
German and Nordic autism holding the front lines in place.
Slovakia has that too. Very common practice
Germany in a giant sea of check-kissers
“Absolutely fucking not.”
And that’s why the Anglo sphere has problems getting along with others. Doesn’t know affection is strangers. XD
I seem to remember older generations doing it here in England when I was younger but that was like 20 years ago. Never really see it at all now.
It depends on the region in Brazil
Turkis here you dont kiss with your mouth you press your both cheeks and make the kiss sound with your mouth.
Not common amongst men. When I learned it and tried to do it with my friend he kissed me fr and said „I dont like fake kisses“
In red is the civilized world, in white the barbarians
In my mom’s home province of Quebec it’s very common too, and not just amongst francophones.
This used to be, but since corona we just hug.
Becoming more common in the UK in the last few decades.
Cheek kissing will help you move up the corporate ladder in most countries
It’s the Roman empure 😍
No data source? No credibility 🚮
The Netherlands: what a joke. I once tried to kiss a friend for greetings, they put me in jail.
