As the title asks - is it weird for a man in his mid twenties to regularly kiss his father on the lips as a form of affection?
I work in an environment where we are all extremely close with each other, so everyone is constantly joking with each other and teasing each other - but it is done with love. It recently came to light that a guy we like frequently kisses his father on the lips as a sign of affection.
I’m not necessarily here to judge him for it, in my mind it’s just weird because it’s a cultural difference. But the reason I’m after opinions on this, is because he tried to snap back at us and make it seem like this is a normal thing. Not a single person in our workplace aside from him kisses their fathers on their lips.
I guess someone witnessed it. Dad saw him in public in a very busy place. They hugged, embraced, and then both pulled their heads back so they were face to face, and went in for a lip kiss.
So help me settle this debate. Weird, or normal?
