solbil: tell me just how comon it is in europe to see people diplay affection in public. I have never been to the uk or outside of nigeria so you can understand why i am asking.

kambili190:

it is quite common but you most often will see very young couples doing it. people who have been together for a while or married don't do that very often. still, holding hands is very common regardless of age.

for me, I don'T care. If I think it is too much, I look away.

concerning, the divorce rate in Europe that is mentioned quite often here. I think it's ridiculous to make a connection to the public hugging and kissing. the divorce rate has other reasons than this. and for all who point their finger at western marriages and their divorces, I can tell you that the same trend is developing in African countries as well. the more your economies develop, the more people will divorce. come on, it's not that your marriages are any better. they are the same. there are good and successful marriages and bad marriages, full of domestic violence for example. people divorce less frequently because they cannot afford it. and that's it!

the genereation of my parents and grandparents did not divorce very often. my generation does and your future generations will do the same if they can afford it. just sit and watch.

Goldieluks: Prude.

Kevin_II: if una don tire to see PDA you grumpy old men and women can retire to your villages in nigeria. i will help pay for your canoe fare

obo_man:


I do agree with that as societies get richer and economies develop, divorce rate will indeed be higher. I never said Africa's divorce rates are lower, I only said we still make good lovers despite our aversion for public affection.





haha, I'm not prude, in fact, I'm very raw. My name should suggest to you that I'm not prude. I'm just advocating for decency in public.

rokiatu:

I owe you one. LOL

kambili190: well, and I'd like to add that some people have a different impression as to who displays more "affection" in public.

first, I saw some videos on this forum and elsewhere that show couples in Nigerian clubs displaying so much affection that it looks like they are almost having sex.
