I feel kissing is quite significant, for my relationship with my girlfriend - I don't really feel right if I don't kiss her once or twice a day.

but pulling someone is never really worthless and is something people will still talk (usually gossip) about afterwards even if it was just in a club, which I think shows that it still has a special status.

More contradictions, more hypocrisy. How can anybody keep up with this society? :roll:

 

What? Show me the contradiction and hypocrisy in that.

A whole Wawa Melon.

He's referring to the fact that you substract the meaning of a kiss from the fact that it will be discussed by others. In other words, that makes it meaningless. Sadly, I feel the same.

I think he means that even though it may not have romantic meaning meaning, it is still significant. For example, the jump from dancing with a girl at a club to kissing her is obviously quite a jump how intimate you are with her. I guess here the meaning/significance is more sexual than anything, that's not the same as being meaningless.

I find a kiss is only as meaningful to me as the intention behind it; whether it's a goodbye to a family member I won't see for some time, or simply something to do during casual sex.

 

Socially, I think it's viewed in a pretty similar fashion throughout my society - although, like any PDA, it can make some people uncomfortable.

I am a little germaphobic and extremely, I don't know, clean? I'm 16 and never kissed, had a gf, sex, etc. There is one girl I like though. . . Anyway, I kiss my sisters, but my intentions would be very different than if I kissed said girl. So while some treat kissing casually, I do not. My friends, both girls and boys, are always hugging each other and whatever and it mildly annoys me.

 

I guess honestly, the actual act of affection, whether it be holding hands, hugging, kissing, or sex, the "specialness" of it comes from your previous experiences doing those things (if you hook up with girls repeatedly it really won't mean as much), and the person involved, and the way you feel about them. E.x.: anything you do with a girl you've had a crush on for a year vs. a girl you just met, obviously kissing the girl you've liked for longer (especially unrequited loves, haha) is going to be be worth bundles more than the girl you'd had a crush on.

 

Also, I would not just kiss a girl outside of relationship. I would need to be dating this girl to kiss her.
