I thought id ask a silly question but it did make me think, if 2 androgynous people meet what is the correct greeting, do they shake hands in a manculine way or embrace and a peck on the cheek in a feminie way. what would one do in such a situation :0) personally i think that andrognous people should all high 5 each other in a none gender style greeting. Right il go back to bed now ive asked this very important question.
Assuming I don't know the person at all, I'd probably welcome them with a smile and assess from their reaction whether they want to shake hands or hug or high five or what. After I get to know them better we probably would determine what works best between us as a greeting.

When I met another Androgyne, I happily exclaim "Meep!" and then I hugglepounce them! :icon_mrhappy:

"Hi" works.
And I didn't think shaking hands was necessarily masculine and hugging and cheek kissing was necessarily feminine. I thought it was cultural, with shaking hands being standard in the US and hugging and cheek kissing being more common in some parts of Europe, for example.
Well, if I knew the person was Androgyne (it's not like we wear signs), I might glomp them...so watch out! :D (for those of you not in the 'know', a 'glomp' is something of a flying tackle...heh)
Usually when I meet someone, I just say "hi". If they offer a hand, I shake it, if they hug me, I hug back...I just go with the flow. :P
I think we should do it vulcan style "live long and prosper"
or pull out the goats :icon_rockon:
I nod.

I nod.
Is that an upward head tilt or downward nod? Is it slow or fast? And do you close your eyes at the same time?
I greet them like any other aquaintance, with a "hello" or something like that. I reserve things like kissing and hugging for people who are close friends of mine, regardless of gender.

Downward. Medium speed. Depending on the person's culture I may look at the ground a tad longer.
i thought you yelled, 'ello, in their ear and gave them a too tight hug.
What, I have to come out from my hermit-like cave and actually get near other people!!! :icon_eek:
OK, I'd probably say hi, and give them a hug if they're the huggie type ;D

Since this is a thread marked as a silly question, I have a silly question of my own.
What should my boyfriend introduce me as, girlfriend? boyfriend? spivakfriend?! mixedfriend?!! I don't know, so I'm asking the opinion of the people here.

:D I was actually wondering if there was a gender neutral term, but hey, that works too.

I'm a noidean. It's a whole new gender identity ;).
My shrine and wardrobe is almost complete, soon I will begin transition to become NO_ID #2! hahahahaha... :icon_evil_laugh: :icon_pelvic_thrust:
If i like the person they can have a hug. ;)
If i don't, i'll punch them. >:D
If it's formal they get a handshake. 8)
