Being Affectionate in Public

Pighead

Every girlfriend Pigheads ever had has always been the type to slobber and drool all over him in public. I fcuking hate this behaviour. Theres a time and a place for everything love, get off me. Imagine if the lads came around the corner and seen Pighead in a lovey dovey clinch.The reputation i've built up over 28 long years would be in tatters.

Whenever I see a couple kissing in the streets for a period of longer than 10 seconds I feel a rage build inside,I also tend to want to vomit. These losers are basically saying "Oh everybody,Look how un-single we are,we're so great" Low self esteem all round.

How do the boardsters feel about smoochy woochies in public?

its a great thing to see, true love although little scangers or students nearly riding each other in public is another thing altogether with their 'leathery apendages flapping in the wind' - that makes me quite ill indeed.

forget the title - i didnt read ur post rite - oops

i'm all for pda's(public display of affection)-kissing someone is totally natural and lovely so why shouldnt ya do it in public. As long as its not a full on passionate session then its like-get a room!

Good looking girls never engage in this behaviour. It does indeed put up a "how not single am i flag" which lowers the attention you get. Good looking girls love the attention they get and mingers crave the attention they get(hence..public affection).

I really think the people here who seem to get quite angry about trivial things like this are quite frankly neurotic, and there seems to be quite a frequent number of people like this. I honestly think that if you "Feel a rage build inside" over something that has nothing to do with you at all, you probably need professional help.

Gotta agree.
PDAs are fine, as long as they are together.
It's a different scenario when they do it in front of others whom they were interacting with:
eg: a mate and his gf out with myself and other friends.... we all chatting around a table in pub, then he makes some remark that his gf loves, and they get all touchy feely and start eating the face of one another.
Have some self control please

thats pretty haughty Hungus - everyone has neurosis - its standard fare..in life i reckon and probably in this case manifested from parenting of pighead while he was growing up.

and well for voyeurs its grand sur isnt is....

Thats not true at all!if you like somone you'll want to kiss them whenevr you can,regardless of how hot or not you are. I find also thats often the opposite-all the good looking guys ive been out with have always been very affectionate in public,but any not so attractive guys ive been out with are always less affectionate and more embarrased in public.

and panda, what i said works the opposite way for guys. Having a girlfriend only does a guy favours

Ah your probably right Karl Hungus, Pighead is at a loss to explain his sudden bouts of rage and anger. Just last night I headbutted some lad in Galway after I heard him bragging that he was the bestest thing ever to happen to boards.ie and that all the rest of the posters were tossers. What a punk.

Perhaps a professional is exactly what I need. Although I remember Naomi Campbell tried a Rage therapist a few years ago and it made absolutely no difference to her problems. Pighead cant afford to go wasting his hard earned cash.

tovalee

i must be completely neurotic so. even all the mushy comments and awkward flirting that goes on here on boards.ie makes me feel uncomfortable and a little violent.

Aisling come on buddy its sickening and pointless. A quick peck on the cheek is more than enough. Think of all the lonely single people out there watching you and your fella mauling each other. Seeing the two of you in action will most probably have ruined his day and maybe even his Christmas.

I'm all for pda's (love that abr.) but my problem is I usually direct them towards complete strangers.

The judge takes a very dim view of this, I can tell yous...

Atrocity

I hate doing it, and if she tries to make me I get angry. Well, when she tried.

Pighead

In general it seems that lads are a lot more uncomfortable than girls with this type of public affection. When a girls friends see her being lovey dovey with her fella they think its cute and fluffy and all things nice. When a fellas buddies see him canoodling and being soppy they tend to laugh point and ridicule and call him a big jessy.

Girls think before you cuddle. The streets are for fighting not for loving.

we were talking as well and we stood well back from the bus stop and I may not see him till the 30th and he kissed me first.It never bothered me when I was single or any of my single friends

You may not see him till the 30th? Pighead prays to God your talking about the 30th of September or October 2006. However if you're talking about December in the 2005 you my girl have got it bad. Its only a week away for goodness sake. Aisling you're a lovely lovely girl but you're attitude feelings towards your boyfriend need to be toned down slightly. Boys get scared of commitment. Anyway enjoy the rest of your Saturday hun.

its that when I see him on the 30th that could be the last time i see him for months as my mam is a psyhco.I'm not mad into commitment myself it freaks me out but i won't be able top even talk to him unless its face to face.

Agreed. Handholding should be banned in the city centre, they're so hard to overtake, tis shocking :eek:

Nasty_Girl

urrrm was there not a thread about this quite recently? Maybe I dreamed but here's my two cent again anyway!

Basically I don't care most of the time. If I'm walking through the street or park and there's a couple kissing or holding hands I don't mind. I do it meself in the pub or whatever.

The only time it bothers me is if there's a group of people maybe 4 or 5 and 2 are a couple and they start meeting each other right in the middle of a conversation. If they're in "the can't keep their hands off each other phase" (that expression makes me want to vomit but it is the general excuse trotted out in these situations) they should jus f*cking go somewhere else. It's just pure attention seeking and is an absolute screech when they're broken up the next week and look like a right pair of tw*ts.

Hahahahahahahaa.

whitewashman suggests that while his own displays of affection in public are his business, that getting annoyed over others is simply a stupid waste of his time.

if pighead reads 'Oh everybody,Look how un-single we are,we're so great' into some people kissing, then it might be suggested that some people that pighead has some intimacy issues...

personally i neither worry about what others are doing, and may they be happy doing whatever it is they are doing, nor worry about people who get upset over what i do.

being dependent on the opinions of strangers to make yourself feel good is pointless.

I have to agree with PigHead on this one, I have no time for Public Displays of Affection. I feel its uncalled for, and generally tends to make other people feel uncomfortable.
I have been going out with my boyfriend for 3 years, and from the very begining I made clear my stance on PDA's.
I had spent far too many nights in the company of rude and ignorant couples, who didn't give a thought for those around them and how they behaviour might be making them feel. I was not going to inflict those experiences on others.

Down with PDA's, there is a time and a place.

"Down with that sort of thing"
"Careful Now"

simu

Has the good sir Pighead learned nothing from PI? He ought to be happy when he is with a girl who is so willing to be affectionate to him tbh.

katiegordon

oh my god i hate it!!!!!the worst is couples going shopping together in town.they are all over each other !!!stopping in front of you so you keep ramming into them i mean whats the point!!!its so frustrating.
i work in town and the amount of people you see standing right in the middle of crowded aisles meeting is unbelieveable!!for gods sake like as if it isnt hard enough to shop at this time of year as it is!!I always walk up to them and say excuse me and pretend i have to fix the shelf behind them......haha:)

Rozie

Makes me feel lonely.

And I hate when you happen to pass or look anywhere near where they're doing it, they act like you're violating their privacy. Ugh.

If you're going to do it in public, it's a public display. Therefore, I propose that a group be gathered, perhaps 10 strong, perhaps 20 strong, to trawl the streets of the cities of Ireland, standing around, staring, munching popcorn, whenever they find a couple having it off in public.

spiderlegs

I hate it.It is often sickening and in your face.It makes me feel all bitter and annoys me.A lot. :mad: These are the reasons why there are rooms with locks and doors on them.Yes.I think you should use them.And stop holding hands.It unnerves me.

simu

Stop holding hands? wtf? If that gets to you, time to book a shrink tbh.

Ha ha, it could be like jury duty.

xXxnaoisexXx

if you really didnt like it dont look at them i think it is cute if people are together or somthing they should be able to show it and they arnt makeing you look at them look at something else lol:)

solicitous

Its pretty simple, people who aren't in a relationship or are in a bad one usually snipe at such couples. Those who display their love for one another, get on with it, those who arent and cant stomach it, get a grip and stop moaning you miserable f*ckers.
(For the record, I'm a single person saying this, and I enjoy it.)

Holding hands, kissing, cuddling in public are perfectly acceptable..
those who decide to take anything other than the above in public should try to avoid deliberately being caught.

Those who disagree, I'd like you to know in advance, I don't give a sh*te.

:rolleyes:

well in general its ok, i mean a peck every now and thens ok.But if my fella wants to start a tounge war in public i just push him off(time and a place)

But these people who may as well be giving oral sex to each other the way they act in public.

My fella and i and our 2 m8s(another couple) were in the park the other day when my friend proceeded to push his gf up against the wall and devour her 4 about 10 mins, i was like "your 24 not 15 ACT YOUR AGE"

That **** just annoys me
I mean ok its nice to show affection and all but if ur gonna act like that for all to see make a porno.
At least ull get money out of it.. rather than a jail term

Stephmurph

I know lots of lads who are big on public affection. I, on the other hand (a girl by the way) am not so. I've been seeing a guy for the past 3 months. We are really close and eventhough I often long to throw my arms around him in public, I refrain (most of the time . Anyone being overly affectionate towards me in public makes me feel uncomfortable and self-conscious. Not wanting him to feel that way I keep my hands relatively to myself. Anyways, isn't the most subtle and hidden connection often the strongest?

I was single for a fair amount of time, and yes, slobbering couples p**sed me off big time. Affection is one thing, but with some couples you can't help but feel much of their preformance is for the benefit of onlookers...

Love

Mmm... feel slightly hypocritical posting on this.. but yeah...

PDAs. Don't annoy me unless the people concerned are socialising with me... then it does.

Whoever said about the large group of people and the popcorn... priceless!:D

Azureus

i like public displays of affection, i think theyre sweet and dont see the problem at all! kissing cuddling holding hands, its just nice to see people care about eachother-makes me a lot more uncomfortable to see people argue in front of me than to give a little kiss!
public displays of lust are a different story though, theres a time and a place.
