    I am not a big fan of it at all, mainly because I'm more of a private person. I think it's rather awkward and annoying. I don't need to publicly see someone making out (and other things) infront of me because they're supposedly "so in love". Even if I had someone to do that stuff with I would still feel the same way. There is a time and a place for it, but I don't need to see it. Keep it behind closed doors.

    This, with the added note that, for the most part, many people are fuck-ugly, and I'd rather not have to look at them suck each others nasty, fat faces, and think to myself "Good God, these monsters are about to breed...".

    The more the merrier really. I love to see love, aaah how corny am I? Very corny. But hey, if they're pretty ugly to look at, I just turn my head away. It's better than to see couples fight.

    It's not like you have to look at them, you could just turn your head away.

    So I don't care, and I'm guilty of it.

    I really have no problem with any type of public display of affection. Like Marj I love to see love. I can understand how it can be something that people do not want to look at but I feel it's all it is. Like a painting that someone thinks is horrible and others think is lovely. Also a misconception about PDA is that people do it to "show off" which isn't really always true. I find it funny how close minded some people can be sometimes.

    I don't like it at all. Kissing is fine but making out is taking it too far if you ask me

    For me, I'm against making out and awful kissing noises in public.
    Personally, holding hands, or just touching the other person (not sexually) and a light kiss on the lips is perfectly fine. I do that ALL the time. Josh is very affectionate, and sometimes it seems that like when we go into a coffee shop or something he makes a point to show everyone that I'm his via hugging me, or touching my face or kissing me softly, which is really sweet.
    That's all fine by me, and it makes me smile to see other people like that. But just no hardcore face sucking or crotch feeling.

    :lol: I was just reading a thread about this on AbsolutePunk.

    By and large I'm okay with it, but there's a point where it becomes a bit much. Take my best friend Fee and her boyfriend for example. They're the type that will try to eat each others faces in public. Even in a bloody mosh pit.

    Plus I had to sleep in my car at the last party I went to because they *ahem* wouldn't keep quiet. :lol:

    I'm the sort of person who'd probably complain about it when it gets too much then go and partake in it myself haha.

    It doesn't bother me because I try to make it as awkward as possible for the offending couple.

    My thoughts also, I don't care because I know I love being the most comfortable around my girlfriend as I can possibly be. Sure we don't MAKE OUT in public, but we'll be talking and we might both laugh then kiss each other for a second, no big deal, and hardly anybody has enough TIME to see us before it's over.

    Kissing, holding hands etc are fine.

    I'm not really bothered.
