lovers displaying affection in public

No,I don't think it is nice to look at them in that way.What will they think if they see others do the same thing in front of them? As far as I'm concerned,I think love is short.I haven't seen any old couple who do that things.If I have children with the same age and see that kind of actions,(actualy,now I have no children.)I will tell them not to do so.

Oh, it's good to be young and all care-free doesn't it? Let them be, because when we were younger, we were one of them. Once love is in the air, the only thing that we want to do is to display it to the world

Here is my discussion on a similar topic: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2116584.aspx Younger people, I will forgive with them still figuring out the proper way to behave in public. I just have problems when they are older and should know better by now.

Hey rosey! I have never been in favor of "public displays of affection", better known in my Country of the USA as "PDA"s! Even when I was younger I still didn't do this! I was always trying to be respectible in public! I would maybe hold hands with my boyfriend and maybe once in awhile kiss, but that was it! I never did the things that I see done in public today! I just don't think that it is right because there are children watching and they don't understand and can easily get the wrong idea! I wish that there were rules against this, but there aren't and sadly there are way too many serious displays of public affection and some people just take it way too far!

public display of love and affection is not good..if you really love your partner then you may express in your private space no need to screen in large screen in public...

I see your in Philippine's (You mentioned Jeepneys). I'm not really sure how you guys deal with relationships traditionally. But It sounds like your young folk are getting quite westernized (Its been happening for a while now I guess). I think in your case its probably not the best. While here in NZ we probably wouldn't care to much. Public transport is kinda lame here anyway. I don't have kids but I'm sure once they get to the point when their old enough to know about that stuff you just gotta trust them and hope that the morals you have tried giving them from a young age stay with em.

personally, for me i prefer to kiss and show affection for my man in private. i believe there is a time and place for this. i think the teenagers should do so likewise but we can't do anything if they do show affection in public. we just have to accept it. i don't want to stare at them.

For me i feel shy of what they do and said to my self it is better that i don't do that in my age.

Hi rosey: I think I would explain my kids that, these are young people that have no sense of their own privacy. Simple as that. And I would do this in that way because I think that this public displays of affection are so frequent that we can not hide this to the little ones. I know, it's not what you expect to teach to your darlings but you can hide a reality that it's just too obvious like this. Thanks for asking us about this difficult problem we have right now. Hope you are having a nice day. Keep Mylotting. Take Good Care of you. -Alvaro.

Each country has limits as is known to everyone and so it depends in which country this is seen. If it is in the USA no one cares to even look at them but if it is in India it definitely will embarrass anyone as that is not the culture there. We do see them on beaches, nooks and corners and there is something called moral policing that takes care if anyone goes beyond certain limits.

When u r in love............... u forget what others think of u........... all u want is what the person u love thinks............... so as long as he/she is ok.......... u will not think what's others think............... ONn the point of showing affection in public............ when lovers show affection to themselves......... they forget about the sorroundings.............. to me as long as it is limited to within kisses and hugs.................... its ok to me................ when it crosses that limit.................. it becomes........... offendable

I use to hate seeing people in the malls and store kissing and being all lovey-dovey and such, i use to think like 'if your going to do that, then go be alone'. But since i've been with my boyfriend now, i don't mind it cause we do it, BUT when we kiss in a store we don't want people watching us, so it's like we'll look around to see if anyone is around, then we'll sneak a kiss, but we'll walk down the aisle, holding hands or arms around each other, it makes me feel special, and he's not the type to be shy around me in public areas, he's still the same person.

i think in some couple doing that there maturity level did not progress because for me doing that is an act of immaturity..if i catch my daughter doing that i would really get angry because i did not let them grow to do that nasty act but i will scold her in a good manner because she might get worst..now, i have a girl friend and we really dont do that me and my girl is just like close buddies when we go on date we are not really like a typical couple who shows there sweetness in the public..

Yeah this is a major problem it may affect the children in that bus or the others who watch it because the will try whatever they see

there are many ways to show affection even in public. there are some that i like to see while there are some that should have remained private. one of the things i like to see are older people who remained sweet with each other and you could see the affection that emanates between the two in their glances, the way they hold each other's hands or the way they go about stuff that their doing together. something that spells care, affection, love, respect, and commitment that lasted years. believe it or not, one of the romantic scenes playing in my mind is when a couple is shopping together... discussing little details of everyday life that they share together. i find couples like this so cute. no matter what age. it's silly to find it romantic but that's how i see it. hehe public display of affection sometimes become irksome when you see students who were supposedly in school during school days, school hours... and yet hanging around malls or joints and being their age making out, without a care about the costs of education that they are missing out on. and what parents have sacrificed just to put them in school. these kids should know better. another thing that is totally irksome is when couples act as if they are still in their motel rooms. they shouldn't have left in the first place if they would still continue like that. -lol- i'm not really conservative though i can't claim to be liberated either, but there are ways to show affection in public that is quite pleasing even to the public's eyes. sure i did public embraces and even a few kisses even when people were around. i'd even claim to be the type of person who touches, clings and embrace a lot both in and out of the public's view. but never crossing beyond what's appropriate. bottomline is, different generations with different practices existing in the same environment... well, there's bound to be a clash of differences. what is acceptable or not for public viewing can be dictated by personal views/opinions or what is acceptable in the society.

I don't think it a good thing. I often seem some young people displaying affection in public. Just this morning, when I was going to work place in a bus, I saw a couple of young people in another bus sitting on the same seat. The girl was sitting on the boy's lap with her arms around his neck, and they were actually kissing with so many people around. I believe most people would feel uncomfortable with that. Displaying affection itself is not a bad thing, but the point is they have to choose the right place. It's none of others' business if they kiss or embrace in private place. But if they do that in public, it's improper.

there are things that should not be displayed in public. holding hands and mild hugging is acceptable. but passionate kiss and touching is a mortal seen in public. parents should teach their children to behave properly in public and lovers should be careful on what they show in public because there might be minors seeing them.

Hi, No,It is not nice to look at them that way. I would be embarrassed see them like that. Have a nice day

well sometimes it happen that when u r in love u forget all things but it should be kept in mind that at which place they are doing love....... although its nice to be in love and to show your love to your partner but it should be under some limits.....

As an eastern people, I don't like that displaying. It breaks the culture n social value. It affects bad if any child looks at them then imitate it. If i were the parent, hhmm... i'll advice my children n tell them why we don't do that.
