So... I have discussed this with 2 members via pm and I recently posted on a topic about it, so I thought "Why not?".

What is normal and formal body contact between men and women in your country? What do you think of it in other countries?

Discuss.



My contribute:

I live in Portugal, near Spain, in Europe. When a man meets a woman they kiss each other on the cheek. Everytime we see someone we know we do the same.

The only exception is formal meetings, where the kiss is subtituted by a regular handshake, just like a man acknowledging another guy.
