In the majority of the relationships there is some
form of affection in involved. In the 21st century I like to roughly
divide the forms of affection into two ‘types’: online and in person.
The first type of affection I would like to address is
affection posted online, on the contrary I do think that it is sometimes nice
for a couple to post a selfie or tell the world what they are up to every now
and again but sometimes the affection is taken to extreme levels. For example
when a couple write on each other’s Facebook walls with hearts of romantic
clauses or even leaving comments on each other’s photos confessing their
undying love for one another. Furthermore if you feel the need to express your
love for a partner or even acknowledge them in your biographies you’re pretty
much making me want to vomit up my breakfast. In addition to this if you feel
that every other post or more must be in relation to your significant other
then maybe you should re-evaluate you existence as an individual. I am forced
to believe that when people are particularly public online they are trying to
convince the world that they have an idyllic life, in realities who are they
trying to convince, the world or themselves?
The second type of affection which I absolutely
despise is physical displays of affection. I understand that two people may
love each other so much that they may feel the need to touch each other
constantly but I really just don’t want to see it, I find it repulsive. I
cannot understand or even find a reason why people would want to be
affectionate in public. For example kissing in public, for one it is
embarrassing, it causes people to look at you, it smudges your lipstick and it
just looks pain disgusting. Couples have no excuse for being affectionate in
public; they can be to be affectionate in private without an audience which el
is a suitable situation for all involved. The observer is involved does not
have to suffer and the couple are not made a spectacle as they exchange saliva.
Overall, I feel that public displays of affection can
be offensive to many people from many cultures and ages. For example in the Middle East public displays
of affection are condemned as an act of kissing is considered public indecency.
This is just one example where an act of affection is not deemed acceptable.
Not only this but, acts of public affection also remind all of us single people
why we are ugly, bitter and as a result will be condemned to a lifetime of
eternal loneliness. Maybe I am jealous (probably), maybe I am deluded but
whether I am single or committed my stomach cannot tolerate a high level of
public affection for anyone. IT’S JUST
ANNOYING!!!
Always,
Lauren
