I posted this gif (that’s “GIF,” Morrakiu, not “JIF,” which is a poisonous cheap “peanut butter” made of sugar and partially-hydrogenated soybean oil) yesterday.
It is a really fun example of the issue of the way Northern and Southern Europeans differ as far as their comfort levels with touchy-feelines between men.
Hitler literally pushes Mussolini back, while laughing uncomfortably – “you’re getting a little bit too close there, pal.”
I’ve experienced this six million times myself.
Really hard to deal with, because Southern Europeans actually take serious offense if you’re like “can you please stop touching me, it’s making me uncomfortable.” Or if you even signal something to this effect, like Hitler is doing in the gif.
They even take offense – which at one age, I was stupid enough to try and do – if you just try to explain in detail that you come from a different culture and if your culture men stand further apart and only touch each other on the back or shoulder either as a pat or as a 3-second touch that does not involve any form of rubbing or squeezing motion.
Basically, if you go to Southern or Eastern Europe, just be ready for this, and just deal with it. There is nothing gay or even slightly gay about it, and I think a part of why they are comfortable with it is because they have fewer gays in their culture (though that doesn’t explain why it was the case in this 1930s gif, so maybe that doesn’t have anything to do with it).
Also, if you’re sitting down at a table, try to position yourself across from them as much as possible, because they will touch your legs, which for me as an Anglo, is the absolute worst.
Also, if there are any Southern/Eastern Euros reading this, please understand that we are not rude or cold people, we are just totally not at all used to this.
Also, understand that if we look uncomfortable after you tell a dirty joke, it isn’t because we are prudes or don’t think it’s funny, it’s just because we’re not used to people talking or laughing that loudly in public.
