I personally grew up the southern three times area now living in a two times zone.
>mfw female friends keep teasing me since I'm always trying to go for the third kiss
In case you don't know, "la bise" is the French way of greeting women or relatives, and this map shows how many times you have to kiss each other on the cheeks.
3 times
I've been wondering if foreigners visiting France have been experiencing the same problem as I did when changing areas.
>>52060959
More than one is degenerate, two bee hoe nest.
Is kissing hello now haram in Paris?
>>52060959
Never. Keep your stinky mouth away from me.
I don't even want a girlfriend, but being able to kiss girls sounds fun.
How does it feel? Are you just desensitized to it since it is so normal?
I wonder what would happen if someone did this in America. I'd probably get shot for trying something like this.
two seems natural but I've only been in three, it was a bit awkward especially since my personal space is +2 meters
>>52066434
It feels nothing in particular. Only betamax are nervous/excited about " la bise ".
>>52063902
We don't bise men, my rude Emu friend
>>52066723
they do in Italy
>>52066787
Come on, that's gay af, and I'm fucking French !
>>52060959
2 times here
Why is Paris white in that map? Do people not do that in there?
>>52066787
>>52066806
Can confirm that we do.
I once greeted a french swiss that way. I wonder whether he thought that it was strange.
>>52060959
I live in a "4" area, but 4 is usually for greeting family members. For friends and coworkers, that's only 2.
3 sounds extremely awkward.
1 is too intimate.
>>52066723
>>52066806
But we do. Close male friends and family only, though.
>>52067049
The Paris area is zoomed-in on the left on the picture. They are a "2" area.
>>52067586
Family, yea, but close friends ? Seriously, anon ? Where are you from ?
Twice, starting from the right cheek (so moving your head towards the left)
My family in the Gard all do three kisses starting from the left cheek, it's always a bit weird to me.
I've never noticed people from Vendée doing 4, though.
>>52068031
Yes, I'm dead serious. I live in Champagne Ardenne (red area on the north-east of the map, for non-french anons).
>>52068179
The starting cheek is indeed another serious problem .
>go to kiss someone on the cheek
>both go for different cheeks
>accidentally kiss on the lips
It was just like a movie (except my lips were dry).
>>52060959
>1 3 or 4 times
Only frogs could be this much autistic about the kiss greeting thing. How were you able to centralize yourself so much you eradicated all your regional languages but can't decide how many kisses are fine? Plus we all know 2 is the only correct answer.
>>52068553
lol where are you from ? I thought I was the only poster from Champagne Ardennes
>>52060959
Two is enough, anyway.
La bise is a retarded tradition. STAY AWAY FROM ME! When my uncle tries to pull that shit on me, I just push him away.
>>52066723
the walloons do it.
>>52069716
London?
Gay
>>52069396
This happened to me too
She turned into my first good gf
>>52069555
I'm from Reims.
>>52069716
>Tradition
La bise is not a tradition, it is a reflex
>>52069883
I'm a guy. That's the worse.
Only once, and only for female friends/family members on birthdays
>>52069716
What are you afraid of ? It's not even a kiss, it's more like bumping each other cheeks while making a kiss noise
>>52060959
>5
Just make out already.
>>52076239
Unwanted physical contact are aggression, don't touch me! I'm not scared, I'm just uncomfortable with it. Also, if he had his way it would be on the lips.
>>52076457
Well if your uncle's a weirdo that's another thing
How about a qt, would it still be "unwanted physical contact" ?
>>52076534
No, it wouldn't for me, but maybe for her. I would do it if she initiated the bise.
