      Glad to be living in the great Nordic cootie-free zone

      yeah being French moving to Belgium I hate it, even more living at the border. So many awkward double kiss ffs, even more that in Southern Belgium guys kiss in some certain social settings and I fucking hate it.

      We just say “Ahoj”,”Čus” or “Čau”

      Kissing is very rare, and usually only applied by Grandma kissing her grandchildren

      I belong to the Nordic countries.

      I don’t come from the Nordic countries.

      In Serbia, 1 is basically as a form of casual ‘sup’, as you hug or dap up and 3is for more formal settings, such as congratulations, birthdays, weddings, saint days etc etc etc, anything more formal you can think of, 3 works.

      Thank you! My boss is Spanish and I’m Scandinavian and I had no idea what to do. xD

      Czech Republic is definitely two kisses (one per cheek).

      i’m from a two kisses country but tbf i feel like the tradition’s very slowly disappearing. young people still do it with older generations but not so much with people their age. or at least that’s the perception i get.

      Huh? In Poland everybody kisses me once and I’m the weirdo who goes for the second. No one has kissed me thrice

    16. Mountain-Road-5920 on

      I envy those in countries that don’t kiss. My portuguese ass dreads social gatherings because of the kisses

    17. _-Burninat0r-_ on

      Outdated NL. Anyone under age 40 gives hugs, not the cheek kisses

    18. gamhd on

      Which cheek you kiss first also vary between régions that can often lead to awkard lips contact between strangers

    19. TerribleIdea27 on

      NL should be 0, 1 or 3; 0 for most people. Family 1 on the cheek. Family friends/new year’s 3 kisses (in my family, some people do different)

    20. truewarhead on

      More importantly, which side of the face is the first kiss going to happen. Going from Portugal to France can be pretty awkward…

      Hey, nordic countries so uhm… I spawned in Ukraine by accident and I think there was a big mistake so uhm.. how to join y’all?

    22. dzsimbo on

      So, uhm, I think the map is off too, but not because of the colors and whatnot. ‘Female’ family members is the problem. In Hungary, we have male relatives giving two air kisses and mushing cheeks as well.

      I feel this is a dying phenomenon. We still do it when meeting lady friends, but guy friends don’t really do it anymore, unless it’s a special occasion AND they come from a smaller town/city.

      The visualisation choices on this map are an absolute clinic on what not to do lol

    24. Confident_Access6498 on

      Northern italy after covid = zero. I remember getting kisses on the cheeks when i was a child from other female relatives (esp. Aunts) but nowadays i think it is totally defunct. I still meet people that have problems shaking hands. Covid was a game changer in Lombardy.

    25. Frequent-Pound3693 on

      A kiss is too intimate for me. I prefer a hug but then some people find full body contact too intimate.

    26. shatikus on

      The three kisses for eastern Europe is a super old school thing. I know it existed, I know it might be displayed on a veeery rare occasion, but that’s about it. Absolutely not a thing for younger people.

    28. realultralord on

      German here.

      Even 1 is sus.

      The bypasser’s nod is enough.

      Firm handshake for close friends and family. “Moin” for everyone else.

    31. diogocp27 on

      Some context for Portugal. We don’t do full lips to cheek kissing. Usually it gets simplified to kissing the air while our cheeks touch each other.

    34. harassercat on

      Akshually… in Iceland it’s quite common to kiss female friends and family. Just one kiss on the cheek or past the cheek. Particularly as a goodbye but also as a greeting is okay. Combined with full or partial hugs. It’s also normal for men to hug each other (without kissing). But never when meeting a person for the first time, regardless of gender.

      So I would put a 1 on Iceland rather than zero, it’s more accurate.

    35. cherryguy on

      Where’s wallonia (french part of belgium)?

      Back in the days i did cycling and went for races in Wallonia, they all gave a kiss as first encounter. So cringe when i was like 16-18y old haha

      Nordics, Estonia and the UK be like “GET THE HECK AWAY FROM ME”
