Therfore, the feelings which people deliberately try to show-off in front of others are not their &quot; personal &quot; feelings .You are right , they just do it to draw attention .Maybe they do it because they are naturally unattractive . So they use these means to attract attention .http://www.englishforums.com/English/PublicDisplayOfAffection/hwjcl/post.htm#784471Thu, 18 Jun 2009 12:21:35 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:784471Sjvn1http://www.englishforums.com/English/PublicDisplayOfAffection/hwjcl/post.htm#784471http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments28-784471.xmlI think simple things like holding hands, a hug or a brief kiss is okay.

You can&#39;t say one country&#39;s attitude is right and anothers is wrong. You just have to respect the feelings and social &#39;rules&#39; of where you are. You say you find all displays of affection unpleasant, but do you really? The other day I saw an elderly couple, they must have both been in their 80s, holding hands as they walked along the street. I find that very sweet to see, not unpleasant at all. Would you have found that offensive? I guess that perhaps you would, as some cultures find any physical contact like that offensive, but to me it is a nice thing to see. I&#39;m happy that they are happy and in love after a lifetime together.

Anything alien may be frowned upon. Horizons often widen if people have a chance to see life in other countries and learn to appreciate foreign cultures as well. It is of course polite to respect the ways of the country one is in: when in Rome, do as the Romans do! There&#39;s nothing wrong with showing affection in Finland. I don&#39;t think it would cross anybody&#39;s mind to give such a thing serious thought.
