Is the country you are from more of a 'Hugger' or a 'formal Handshake' kind of culture when it comes to greeting each other? (lemmy.world)

Dunno what it's like in other western/European/Central European/Slavic countries but here in Poland, if you're a boy, you're deprived of hugging by around 6th year of life, started noticing youth nowadays it's more huggy than in my times (beginning of the century), I remember getting a man hug from a fellow student (friend?) because of my 18th birthday, and thinking to myself 'wow this hugging thing is kinda nice'
