Did you ever wonder why women could hold hands/kiss in public while men looks disgusting when they do?

Most cultures allow women to openly show their emotions. They can hug, hold hands, and kiss children, grandparents, parents, animals, loved ones, and - yes - each other, in public. No one thinks anything of it.

Boys and men have not been allowed to express their love-emotions in public, especially to one another. Sometimes in sports you see men hug each other after a win, but not very often. Sometimes men slug or hit each other to show affection or to get attention from one another. In some cultures, men greet each other with a kiss on each side of the face. In other cultures, men shake hands or bow to each other.

It's all about cultural norms!

In my culture we shake hands with women and touch a woman's cheek(my cheek on her cheek), and then we kiss with a sound. This is with women only. About men we don't see them coz it's not allowed.

I thought Arab men kiss each other on the neck, don't they?

No No it's the same with men as well.
Maybe you mean that some Saudi people
kiss each other on the nose. This happens
with bedouin people. I'm not bedouin I'm tribal.
Where you saw that?

Well, that's what I saw in the movies. What can I do? It's not my fault to see such a wrong presentation in the screen. The media has to be blamed!;-)
