i think its rude to the people who don't have someone to love because they might feel really jelious and they want someone to hold and kiss in times when they need it so i think its really rude because people will feel like no one pays attention to them or loves them(they might feel like people think their ugly)

i hate it when people do that. its just rude, like you don't want to see that. it's something personal and you shouldn't share it with all the people around you!

Well, I do kiss in public sometimes but just a quick kiss and I usually look around to make sure there are not kids or even people too close by. Just today I saw an older couple like 50s .He was touching her and rubbing her constantly. That felt disgusting too.
Kissing and touching it's not only rude to the people that dont have somebody, it's just rude for everybody!

PDA can cross a very fine line between appropriate and offensive. It's perfectly normal (and healthy) for one to express physical affection with someone in public: the problem is how far to take it? It's common for those who are in the beginning of a relationship, whether by holding hands, hugging, a kiss, etc.
What takes PDA to an offensive level is when it is not only continuous but over the top. What some people realize is that not everyone wants to observe them shoving their tongue down someone else's throat, or to show the public how fun it is to grab their date's butt. Think about it: if you're walking in a park on a sunny weekend and you see a couple snuggling on a park bench, one's initial reaction would be "They're in love". If, however, you were to see the same couple fornicating on the park bench, your reaction would be "They're obviously in heat."
I think what some people simply don't do when it comes to PDa is this: THINK. If you wouldn't want to see some random person doing that specific act in public, then you probably shouldn't engage in it yourself. And much more, ask yourself this: "If I had kids with me at this moment, would I be disgusted at this PDA?"

Boy, some people just don't catch on, do they? The woman who thinks people would take away her right to hug her baby? I think your question is odd, too. I never thought of it that way. I think it's sweet to see people giving each other a quick kiss or a hug, but in public, anything that is more sexual than a token of affection is inappropriate. I certainly don't feel lonely or rejected when I see people going at it! I'm repulsed. These things are not pleasant to watch, unless you're some kind of voyeur. Children are also watching. If people feel lonely or rejected when they see people kiss, they are dealing with some major low-self-esteem problems.

Its ridiculous to say that it is ALWAYS offensive, because there are varying degrees of kissing and affection. Of course groping and making out is disgusting, and as a general rule, no tongue in public is a good way to go. However, an occasional peck on the lips, holding hands, or hands around the waist are just fine. That's what normal, healthy people in love do! They aren't trying to make you jealous. They're being happy, which is something you need to work on in yourself if this bothers you that much!

Honestly, I don't see anything wrong with kissing in public as long as you're not all over each other. The key is that as long as it is not extreme, I'm ok with it.
When I've been single, and I've never felt offended by seeing other people share a brief moment of affection towards someone else.
I think we are taking it too far when we have to be concerned about how someone else feels. I mean, by that rationale, I can't hug my kid or play with my kid in public because I might offend someone who doesn't have children.

There is nothing wrong with kissing a loved one in public when greeting them or even when acting spontaneously. One must remember that the kiss or body language must not be meant to inflame passions, which is best left to the privacy of one's home.

It's rude for more than that reason. Think about it, thats something personal and not everyone wants to see others making out, and what about kids. I know a lot of people who don't want their kids seeing couples kissing all over the place, it really rude.

I never really thought anything of this. I personally don't even care if someone is kissing in public. I don't have a gf and I don't feel the least bit jealous. I just think "o look, two ppl r makin out" and move on.

I think it's ok.
I know it sounds corny, but sometimes you just want to kiss your boyfriend! The moment overcomes you.
Besides, it's my life.
I understand being courteous and not full on making out and moaning in public or whatever, but a fast kiss or a short little make out is not that big a deal, and it's not my problem if someone gets 'jealous'.

i have a girl, and im on the other side of the world from her right now. i love kissing her, showing her affection, public or private, i love her. now that i am away, when i see others kissing in public, i dont care, im just glade that i am not alone. if u seriously get jealous or pissed off cause people kiss in public, then dont go out into the public or get in a relationship.
