well in russia family memebers kiss on the mouth to say hello, even same sex! and i think with close friends too!
call it gay as much as you want, i don't care. just don't think that 2 guys kissing on the cheeks to say hi are gay in france. they can be brothers, or cousins or long time friends.
It does bring to awkward situations though where people would all say hello to each other and there is this girl's boyfriend you don't know that well that gives you two kisses and you are like... ok i won t be rude but i don't fucking know you well enough asshole!

yup i actually explained to you also the origin of this american myth. WW2, americans liberating france, and surprise! during the war, women didn't have time nor ressources for shaving themselves so things got a little bushy, I guess they didn't shower much either. So te GIs came back with a few untrue conclusions about french women because of their self negligeance during the teutonic ocupation.
Interesting fact: in 1989, only 7 million americans owned a passport. 48 millions in 2000 and 110 millions in 2012. I guess the younger generations are a bit more curious, so you could go find out for yourself instead of listening to the stupid nonsense you heard from your dad that he's heard from his dad.

Yeah, most Americans are very awkward about any possibility of being perceived as gay. Even hugs between guy friends needs to be macho'd up.
Then again, I've seen this study which concluded that French men are the most feminine of the developed nations.

The passports increased in part due to 911 in 2001.

Here in Detroit, going to Canada used to be very simple. My family used to go to Ontario a few times a year, whether it was just going to Windsor, or visiting a Provincial Park such as Point Pelee near Leamington, or The Pinery near Grand Bend. Since 9/11, a passport is now required to visit Canada. Naturally, many more Detroiters now own passports. Doesn't mean they're going anywhere exotic; just that they wanted some poutine from Windsor.

well you wouldn't hug the same way a male or a female, no matter how close. but french people don't really hug. we are way less tactile than spanish people for example. your spanish friends would tend to hug you a lot in a very genuine manner. americans do hug to say hi but just like you say, bbs in a "hey i love you bro but this isn't gay right!" kind a way. Or maybe that's just teens young adults still a bit immature.. camaraderie is ok, it doesn't need justification and it doesn't imply any kind of sexual business!
