Definitely not something you do in America. Handshakes or hugs for close friends. Kisses are right out!

I'm American (Hispanic background) and it's a handshake with guys, kisses on the cheeks for the girls.

If you've seen Borat I think you would know how Americans feel towards kisses on the cheek as a greeting.

It's not nearly as common in the U.S. as it is in Europe, but sometimes you'll see a man greet a woman with a handshake followed by a peck on the cheek. Hardly ever done between two women or two men though. And it's not the mutual pecking on both cheeks.

In my family it's always a kiss for females and a hug/handshake for the males. Though when I was younger my uncles would give me a kiss on the cheek (not pervert like), so it's definitely an age thing. With friends however, I don't know anyone that greets eachother with a kiss. Hugs if girl or handshake/"hello" if guy.

Nope. I give handshakes to strangers, friends, etc. I'll give a kiss to close family.

I greet my Mexican family with a kiss on the cheeks. Only the women though, for the men its a handshake.Tauruslink
Same here for my family but with Friends its a handshake for the guys and hugs for the women. Strangers they get nothing, just a verbal "Hi"

Actaully, you can be on a country. Like, I'm standing on a table. If I was standing in a table, that wouldn't make that much sense, now would it?

Or the continent of America.

No, we don't participate in such primitive methods of greeting people. We just grope each other in the crotch area.

I often greet people that way, however (north) America is a very diverse place with many gestural greetings. I think a hand shake might be the most popular... although I am perpetually unhip so I could very well be incorrect.

No. Usually something involving the hand, such as a handshake, or a terrorist fist jab.

Nope, most American's like space. Here we do handshakes that range from simple to intricate, the more intricate the handshake the better you know the person.

The complexity of a handshake is also a good indicator of "douchbagginess".

Men = handshake. Women = (if first meeting) handshake, (if known well) hug w/ the optional kiss on cheek - but it's more like a peck. I usually just put my cheek so they touch and make the "mwah" sound
