Argentine greeting convention

Dear attendees,

I want to comment that is is customary in Argentina to greet people kissing
each other on the cheek. It is *not* a sign of special confidence or
boldness and in fact it is also common in most of Latin America and Latin
Europe at least. Rejecting this, and not the contrary, can be seen as rude
:).

Regards,
galio

Even among men?

In Venezuela it's customary as well between Women and women-men not men-men.
This holds true in Argentina as well?

Yes, even between men we greet each other this way.
