Asper Sarnoff Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Hehe, if it wasn't for the fact that it resides on a external harddrive I can no longer achieve contact with, I'd post up the picture of me and Fira kissing in front of the Niagara Falls.Like Robert here, I don't really care what couples do to each other in public, as long as they save the most extreme things for a private beedroom. Heck, seeing someone who obviously loves each other walking together holding hands, or sharing a kiss with each other, often brings a smile to my face. Knowing that someone else is having a really good time right now, and being reminded of the one I hold dear myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzunami Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I don't know who you are but I like you.Not sure, if serious... Yeah, you're being a tad too pessimistic there son. I especially got a laugh at how people being happy pisses you off. While it is a bad thing when people get naive and delusions of perfect living (if I get married all my problems will go away!), um, yeah, usually they -do- become more optimistic when in love because, well, yeah, they're happy and in love. Its rather normal. Your inability to comprehend the happiness of those in love sounds to me a lot like you have relationship issues of your own.It was a pleasure to give you a good laugh, sir. Yes, I DO have "issues". But they're rather focused to humanity in general and "happiness" is just a catalyst for a bad mood of mine. You could don't know that 10 yrs of bullying can REALLY f**k up somebody.Really, this entire topic is not so much objective discussion of the reasonable boundaries of public affection and mostly just a -looooot- of butthurt. Edit: On the note of teenagers and love, um, yeah. Guys? They're teenagers. Teenagers are stupid. They can't do anything right, think they know the world better than anyone, and have the foresight capability of a deaf bat. Of course very little of them aren't gonna muddle up romance, thats what teenagers do. Most happy couples are often the older ones, because they're experienced and they know better.Totally /signed, despite the fact that I'm still a teenager as well.

"User" Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Asper I've seen that picture already. Quite cute if I may say so myself. Niagara falls is know for being a romantic tourist attraction. Too bad I never got a chance to meet you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Fox Runner Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 You could don't know that 10 yrs of bullying can REALLY f**k up somebody.Been there, done that. Worst it did to me was make me paranoid to whether or not people are making fun of me or not.Back to the subject, if you want to show affection for the one you love, go ahead. Just don't take it to the extreme where you're pretty much feeling each other up in public. Some people, (though not all, lol) don't want to see that. Plus it can be insulting to the lonely people.

Those who tried got smeared across the pavment.alsohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singles_Awareness_DayHehe, if it wasn't for the fact that it resides on a external harddrive I can no longer achieve contact with, I'd post up the picture of me and Fira kissing in front of the Niagara Falls.Please don't.Just don't take it to the extreme where you're pretty much feeling each other up in public. On a related note, what do you guys think of the minor exorbitionist theory? Similar to the throphy date idea only more sexual. Rather then social status, they sort of 'get off' on the knowlage that people are watching them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballisticwaffles Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Yes, Exibitionism is a fetish, i dont think that kissing in public counts as it. I think its more sexual in nature, not just kissy kissy goo goo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vixie Darkmatter Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 You could don't know that 10 yrs of bullying can REALLY f**k up somebody.I feel your pain. It's quite harsh.I was with someone for.....two or three weeks. Pitiful I know, but the only displays of affection we did in public was hand holding. We both agreed that anything more would likely be seen as distasteful to the public and potentially upset those who just broke up or are single and desperately looking. Now that I'm in that situation, I have to agree, it hurts a lot. The most I do is my best to ignore it and leave the area as soon as I can.

Robert Monroe Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Yes, Exibitionism is a fetish, i dont think that kissing in public counts as it. I think its more sexual in nature, not just kissy kissy goo goo.This. Exhibitionism is deliberately going too far to get other people off. Kissing doesn't even come close, nor does holding hands.As for the "respect for singles" deal, while I can understand the respect that comes from being tactful, but seriously, people who are single that get upset over such displays are being shallow and petty. "Grrr, how DARE someone show off their happiness when I don't have any!". Its like getting pissed at people with money for being able to buy stuff, and further more if you so root your need for happiness in the desire to be paired up, you should rethink your principles (again, being in love doesn't solve all your problems instantly), and not get bogged down by people doing what they enjoy freely, because its not fair to -them-.

myu Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I remember I used to hate Valentine's Day when I was single. But I loved the day after when chocolate was on sale.Anyway, in addition to exhibitionism, there's also voyeurism. I'm sure some people actually, you know, enjoy watching others engage in affectionate acts in public. Of course, that's pretty creepy, in my opinion. Really, all we can do is put our blinders on and engage in tunnel vision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Should we have too? If I were to walk around naked, could I use the excuse "Just look the other way" or follow someone around swearing at them and tell them to "Just not listen" and if they complain then they are being unreasonable? I think it's the same concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myu Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Well what else can one do? If you ask them to stop then it can lead to the same situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vixie Darkmatter Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 People seem to like to stare at people who are kissing or hugging in public. They then presume to complain that it's hurtful toward them. I can agree that it's hurtful, but I also believe that if it does upset them that much that they should make an attempt to block it out before complaining about it, rather than staring and then complaining.

Sabre Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 I had a great one yesterday. I could rant about the idiot on the train, but that was more general idiot obnoxious that just happened to be done via medium of girlfriend. However the dude in the shop was the 'best'.I go into a shop to buy something. Guy behind the counter is talking to Girl. You would expect that he could just scan my stuff through and I could hand him the cash. Wouldn't even have to break his conversation. Ah, but this is couples gooy talk. You know, where they talk without saying anything."I wuv you.""No, I wuv you.""I wuv you more.""You do?""I do.""Really?""Yes, I wuv you.""I wuv you too."-and so on, and of course, asking him to do his job is to much. When I tell him customers are waiting (another person has qued up behind me at this point), he brushes it off as if his non-conversation is more important.As I was losing paitents and a small que was developing, I was about to walk out when someone, I assume the boss, turns up. As he starts to serve me, he sends Girl away and gets Guy to run an errand, at this point guy runs the length of the shop, finds and gets whatever thing, and returns at the speed of light. This guy should be pizza delivery with that speed, or at least play the flash in the justice league movie. Maybe he already served me and I didn't notice because he was so fast? Anyway, Girl didn't even make it to the door about 12 foot away before he glomps her and returns to their pointless conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Holding hands and one or two small kisses once in a while is fine, and alongside the lines of "we are not trying to exhibit".I kinda dislike finding couples doing more than that, making out or one over the other all the time, I mean there's a time and place for everything.

"User" Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Nice story Sabre. Personally, I feel self conscience enough when I'm just kissing my significant other in a public place (mostly the mall) and I see no way I'd escalate anything, even if she wanted to. It's not polite and there's a time and a place for that.When I see people do that kind of stuff in public (usually among younger couples) I do a mental facepalm and have a feeling that the relationship isn't that mature to begin with and will more then likely not last.

Steve Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Fact: some teenagers, usually most of them, are shallow until they are hit by the hard rock called "reality", even so, some need to be hit by a whole big mountain to understand. Fact:People that get hit by said rock and learn about it know what they really want, more than those still stuck in fancy "Twilight" land (sorry, couldn't resist ) Also Fact: Experience>Logic, things not always work as we think they work, until we live them.
