in Sub-Saharan Africa, North Africa and the Middle East, it is very common for men to link arms especially if they are friends or relatives or brothers
Do men in your country link arms with the same gender?
because I have a relative who lives in France and when my mother told her when I come to France we will stroll and link arms, she told her don't do this when you come, because female friends and female relatives don't do this in France.
