    I met a girl at the UCD ball one year when I was still a fairly shy fellow, was quite hesitant with her and she eventually said to me "Look, your job is to make me feel embarrassed that we're doing this in public" and shoved my hand into her bra :D

    Eye opening advice. Have far more fun with girls ever since. ;)

    I would find arse groping pathetic, but not holding hands.
    That just makes me go awwwwww, wonder how long that will last.:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,133 ✭✭✭✭ejmaztec


    My husband and I have been together for 15 years, we always hold hands in public. Not sure what your point is. Are you embarrassed to be seen with your wife or are you emotionally damaged in some way?

    His arms might not be long enough to hold hands, due to his missus having to walk twenty yards behind him.:(







    :pac:

    My husband holds my hand all the time in public and I like it. Anything more affectionate than that is for when we are alone (besides maybe a quick kiss goodbye or something).

    Just for all the 'I hate PDA's' people - I am on a train right now and the 2 girls sitting opposite me have been snogging the face off each other last hour and a half..... how do you feel about that?

    I wonder how long it will take before someone says pics or GTFO :rolleyes:

    Nice!

    Ive been with my OH nearly 10 years. Still hold hands in public. Still kiss in public (not mill each other out of it or anything, just quick peck on the lips). If you love someone, you are with them the same for life, not just for the 3 months champagne period. You really should hold hands. Bitches love holding hands.

    Should I turn off lights when I make "sweet love" to her too?

    Hell no, just turn on the webcam and pass us the I.P. address for the video feed! :cool:

    people holding hands in public warrents a thread?!

    fook off!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,381 ✭✭✭nbar12


    Exactly,leave that type of carry on to the Italians

    yeah on a serious note, I was in Starbucks on Westmoreland st on the morning of the final day of the tall ships, so there were families with young kids in the place. I'm not messing, I nearly lost my nut with this Italian couple, they were ahead of me and placed their order, they moved over to the side where your man just starting eating her neck, giving her a dirty hickey in front of everyone in the place! If I had to witness this carry on for much longer I would have erupted. I'm actually kind of annoyed with myself for not asking them to tone down their porno because there was young children there. Next time, I won't be so patient!

    Holding hands walking down the road is fine (or linking arms I suppose) Was never keen on couples sitting in pubs/restaurants/public areas kissing tho, save it for the privacy of your own home/sex den!

    Are you seriously complaining about people kissing in pubs in Ireland? If people stopped kissing in pubs there would be very little kissing done at all. I really don't give a crap about people kissing when they are out together in any other public place either.

    The only time I think people should keep a lid on it is if they are in other peoples company, like if four people went to dinner together and two of the four were a couple. Then I think it's just good manners to restrain yourselves.

    My fella isn't into the PDA until his had 6-7 pints, then I can't get him off me. I would love to walk down the street hand in hand. We do walk hand in hand in the beach though. Im not into the whole groping and tonsil hockey but a bit of attention is nice, hand on knee sort of thing.


    15 years and counting...

    I think 2 oldies walking down the street hand in hand is sweet....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,184 ✭✭✭3ndahalfof6


    Go the hand holders, down with the foot touching though.

    I'm talking quiet pubs on a Saturday afternoon, not pubs/clubs at 2am when everyone is plastered and trying to get their hole and a sticky finger!

    It usually signifies a rat-arsed couple who would probably fall over in the gutter if they weren't holding each other up.

    This is a non issue. If you're so afraid of showing a small bit of affection in public I can only imagine how that translates into the bedroom

    That sort of stuff is only allowed during private sexytime or maybe on a foreign holiday.

    We all know that these madly in love couples don't last 3 months anyway.
    Once that initial flame dies away they realise they've got nothing

    There's nothing wrong with couples holding hands in public as it symbolizes their love for one another. Nevertheless, I do think that some acts of intimacy and affection should be kept behind closed doors.:D

    Hubby and I together 16 years, still hold hand in public. Nothing wrong with it at all, its hardly a PDA. Just a nice thing to do with the person you love.

    It doesnt bother me in the slightest unless its in an inapropriate place. A couple in my local gym were basically dry humping in the jacuzzi. There was kids not less than ten feet away. Getting your thrills by dry humping in front of kids is where I would cross the line regarding public affection to be honest. Thats a long way away from holding hands and having a snog in public though.

    Sorry to break it to you mate but my girlfriend and I have been together for 3 years and are always like this. If people are in love its up to themselves how they want to express it. Being totally honest, If I'm mad about some girl I'm not going to give a **** what some randomer on the street thinks about how I act with her.

    speaking objectively(i'm 49 and never had a girlfriend!)

    especially that nonsense with couples touching noses and staring into each other's eyes for half an hour:mad:

    what's that all about:confused:

    It's called being young(and not so young) being in love/pair bonding/public announcement of same. Now so long as a couple aren't fiddling about in each others underwear and making sounds like a horse munching oats I don't see the issue. We can be incredibly prudish about this stuff here. Loath though I am to go to the lazy catholic church meme but that seems to be a lot of it this fear of public displays of anything. Though CofI people can be just as prudish. Must be something in the water*.

    I've held hands with girlfriends and had blokes in vans beeping and all that stuff. I mean WTF? I could understand if we were giving a live performance of the Kama Sutra to music, but holding hands? Sheesh.




    *even on the church front. An Irish church procession looks like a funeral even when it's not one, a Spanish or Italian church procession contains more bawdyness and just good social fun than yer average night in Coppers :D Yep must be the water.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    John Montague has an excellent short story "An Occasion of Sin" and it goes some way into exploring the Irish affliction of prudishness and its quite an ironic critique of catholic Ireland.

    I disagree. What people do in privacy is their own business true. But when you are in a public place your actions affect other people and part of being a responsible adult is to recognise this and adjust your behaviour accordingly.

    but the OP mentioned nothing that would be deemed as questionable behaviour. just holding hands really. he did mention "being intimate" but im assuming he doesnt mean riding, i assume he means kissing, which there's nothing wrong with so long as it's not the whole teenage disco tongue half way down the throat while you drop the hand schtyle
