I guess it is if you treat it as a game. I'm kinda surprised that even things like shaking hands and smiling are treated with so much disdain by some people. It just seems like Being Friendly 101 to me.



Agreed :). I mean I think it’s both. When learning new social norms, or, in certain environments there is a game-like aspect.

But I don’t use the word game as a pejorative.
