How old are you?

You answered what I was looking for. I was just wondering re:respect/friendship. I always thought that was an interesting peculiarity.

In Turkey, there isn't much of a "personal space" between the males. On the streets you can see guys walking together very closely, arm in arm or especially arm on shoulders of each others in almost any age groups from school boys to the oldsters. In most of the European countries that can be perceived as gayness, because that personal space thing is crazy important there.

However hand holding is entirely another thing in Turkey. Because unlike some arabian countries, it's linked with romanticism strongly. So if you see a male couple holding hands of each other in Turkey, you can assume that they're most likely partners.
 
I'm 28. I act like I'm 13 most of the time and I feel like I'm 65. I pretty much hate life and the older I get I realize that life is just work and I will die in no time.

Sorry for off-toppic. Do americans have this "personal space" paranoia? I always hear they're more amiable than europeans.

Kind of. Americans have a personal bubble. We don't meet each other and kiss cheeks, etc. When President Bush held hands with a Saudi Arabian guy it was kind of a big deal for some Americans (Not all however).
