    Public Displays of Affection aggravate me to no end. I don't see anything wrong with holding hands. Hands in each others' back pockets is tolerable (I guess). But last night I was at the Red Sox game, and these two kids were sitting in front of my brother and I. They looked about 15 or 16, and came alone. The kid was wearing an Abercrombie top and I think Hollister shorts, and the girl an American Eagle hooded sweatshirt and capris that struggled to accentuate her prepubescent body's lack of any curvature whatsoever. This girl was freaking skin and bones. Makeup had been applied by the bucket-full.

    I don't like it when people make out in public. I think kissing is more of a private thing. But the thing that annoys me even more than kissing (which I didn't know annoyed me until last night) is when two people lean in towards each other and stop and pause with their faces 1/4 inch apart, then kiss. They kissed 30 times in HALF AN INNING. It's one thing to kiss in a public place like a mall or a parking lot, but to do what I just described, in the middle of the crowd, in such close proximity to so many people that would rather watch a baseball game than your own private soft-core pornography is just plain inconsiderate.


    End rant


    How do you people feel?

    thats eerie, now what u do if that happens, u fart! fart loudly, and if u cant fart, make hand farts or another displeasing noise, also, try to get others around u to do it, the more there is the better!

    what better way is there to counter a public nuisance then to make another public nuisance!

    Yea... that'd kind of be my problem; the my person being hotter than theirs part. I don't think using my dog would quite work as retaliation. People would just think I'm weird.

    I personally find such displays nasty and uncivilized. I wouldn't go like kissing my girlfriend in front of other people, and I wish nobody would. A hug might be acceptable in some occasions, but not just because "I love you" or other banality. Do real couples have to keep showing their eternal love in public to make sure that their relationships last? I think not. Things that you don't even have to say aloud or act out are much more important.

    Thank you Nikzad for this unusual topic. :powerup: for that.

    I always see people display their affection in public, actually it's at school. There's this guy and a girl that used to be in our group, until they decided to go out. They still hang around us but all they do is kiss and hug and grab. So we usually get sick of watching them. Sometimes there's these little year 7 walking pass and yelling "get a room''. I think there needs to be a limit of how much affection to display in public. Too much and too little are both bad.

    There's also this recent report from A Current Affair. Neighbours complaining to the council saying their neighbour's "love making sounds'' are too loud....

    I think its fine, as long as its not something grotesque. I dont like seing an asshole giving his girl a windpipe washing, and ive seen a lot of it, and I have concluded that surprisingly, usually the people that makes out in disgusting ways and who constantly do it in public, are those who are making out for the first times, or with the first girlfriend. Its like they try to show the world that they are not kids anymore, but grown up consumated individuals with a copule and a "life". I say fuck them. This fits exactly with the description of the people you were describing.

    There is another more intresting question tho: Should homosexuals make out in public? I say no, cos im a fascist motherf.ucker.

    I give homosexuals the exact same allowance as I'd give any straight couple. You can make out but keep it classy and at a minimum.

    A peck here 'n there when you gotta say goodbye (for more than a class period) and let it go at that. Or if everyone's watching a movie and they decide to cuddle in a subtle manner in the back, that's fine too. In fact, I think that's healthy.

    But there's definitely a fine line before you two just become annoying/desperate.
