I'm cool with it for 60 seconds or less, then I start to feel a bit claustrophobic. I'm totally cool with hands touching or carressing, but the holding part feels a bit proprietary.

of course! i love love n i'm a lovey dovey touchy feely kinda girl so bring on tha lovin'!

matter a fact i'll hold more than his hand if it needs adjusting i'm more than happy 2 oblige! and smack my ass every now and then would ya?!

not that any of this happens i'm manless

Eh. I'm not as much into PDAs now as I was when I was younger. I don't mind quick displays (putting an arm around a shoulder for a moment, etc.) but I prefer to keep my displays of affection private.

ahh ha so just because you don't really care for public affection doesn't mean that your feelings aren't strong or that you don't care for your signifcant other...

Nothing wrong with two people holding hands in public.

i like it.

i have a friend in Chicago that i'll make out with right at the curb side skycap at Midway airport.

and we always hold hands through Chi town when i'm there.

i need a make out buddy and cuddle buddy for my return to KC.

You and I both.

I miss this a lot... (among many other positive aspects a relationship brings)

However, there are times when it feels right and times when it feels a little restrictive. In a relaxed state... I must say .

Gosh, I never talk about this here.

It is definitely a part I hope to have back in my life... real soon.

I like it very much!

I also really like holding the kids hands, they have such cute and warm little hands - I have to enjoy it while they still don't mind being seen with me in public

I try that with my two girls, but once we're not in a parking lot, they want to be on their own.

It's a requirement, if we're a couple.

I have never held hands in public with any of the women i have been with. It looks stupid and it makes you look insecure or as if you are trying to prove something. It's mainly a girl thing. It's mostly their idea to do it for the reasons i mentioned.

edit: and not the cute steadwood kind either...just crusty old troll.

No, seriously. I have never held hands in public with any of them. It just does not feel right. And i have male friends whose girlfriends want them to do stuff like that in public because it shows you love them. That's insecurity. Neediness.

Spats said:

so you've never been needy?
wow...you are...


no, i won't say it...

If they let me!

Say it.

Spats said:

nope
bigger and better than that

Yeah, right. Say it.

it seems this person OFTEN holds a viewpoint contrary to the norm. Is arguing a past-time for you? Confess! U were on your high school's Debate team, and are bitter with the fact that U had to agrue points you didn't have a belief in.


and no one better call me Dr. Phil.

I think a lot of guys think like me. I don't think it's contrary to the norm.

Spats said:

I doubt u have ever loved anyone then

well...I suppose what I should say is that U seem to have a lot of unnecessary machismo floating around. Loosing some of it might save U some stress.

I have been in love. I guess our ideas of love are different. I couldn't be in love with a needy or insecure woman. It's a turn off. And millions of women go for guys with machismo if that's what you think i have. I don't think i have that much though.
