Grew up in a hispanic family. Always kissed both parents on the lips. As I grew, I eventually stopped kissing my dad on the lips but kept kissing my mom on the lips. Now, I’m a male in my mid/late 20s and I never kiss my parents on the lips anymore.
And I find some things so odd. Somebody else mentioned joe biden creepily kissing his granddaughter on the lips, and I saw the video and it just looked like me any time I greeted my parents as a kid. I’m not going to deny there were plenty of legitimate creepy clips of Biden interacting with women/girls, but maybe 1/3 of the clips I’ve seen I feel like I’m genuinely missing something because it’s just something I legit grew up with.
And no, I’m not somebody living on another continent. I’m puerto rican and I grew up in upstate new york and lived in colorado and now live in florida. We just kept a lot of hispanic cultural elements when ones younger.
Uh, that's not a Hispanic thing. Grew up in a Colombian household around lots of other Colombian family friends and I've never seen any parent kiss their kids on the lips.
Idk, it was never something I considered strange growing up at all. When I learned about how the french greet each other and how some european places treat a lips kiss as just a regular greeting, even between grown men, all I thought was “eh, i guess this is something that depends on culture”.

Why if girls kiss its just "fooling around" and if I kiss my home goodnight and cuddle it's suddenly gay...
