Men kissing on the lips happen but it is rare.However,it is more common among gays especially from TV coverage of Gay days at Disny world. It is not unsually for boys to hold hands while walking.I observed that behavior in Belize (formerly British Honduras.) The point that I was trying to make in my original post is that a homosexual relationship should be defined as one where one has a preferernce to have sexual intercourse (including fellatio and cunninligus) with the same sex, U.S -centric society is quick to label someone as gay if someone remains a bachelor,hardly seen with women,and prefers comraderie of males.The same seem to appear the labeling of women.My point is that unless a sexual partner is identified or evidence of same sex sexual experience then one should not be classified as gay.U.S-centric society is so homophobic that any closeness between males is perceived as gay intentional movements. In general,women keep better eye contacts when talking.But men may avoid intense eye contact in casual conversations. As the cross-cultural dude on Tips,there are cultures where men only parties(MNiddle-East) and the guys dance together.(Please note that the GEICO commercial displays two men doing the Tango at the very end).Two good books on Proxemics are by Edward T.Hall -THE HIDDEN DIMENSION and SILENT LANGUAGE. U.S is not a close contact society-if two dudes go to a movie,they will leave an empty chair between them where they sit.I have also observed that same behavior at the urinals.Men urinating at urinals will leave an empty urinal between themselves.
