How many times have you seen 2 men holding hands in public?

Seen it several time in Tug of war competitions.

Didn't know where to look.

That is because we are heterosexual elisjohn

Men are encouraged to get physically close in our society,

I think they may be in some other societies, although I think they stop short of kissing on the lips...gays only there

oops sb men are NOT encouraged to get physically close in our society

Never seen it once in any of the 4 corners of this world.

Wouldn't happen in Saudi.

Quite common in India.

Wouldn't happen in Saudi.

That does not surprise me mouse

Not uncommon at all,living in dark ages..

If I lived there mouse I would make sure I was at least 10 yard away from any males at all times

Be on the safe side

When I lived and worked in Sydney it was an everyday occurrence to see men holding hands and kissing in parks and bars etc, nobody batted an eyelid. Same goes for women as well, nobody cared. In London hardly ever, maybe when I go to Brixton then yes sometimes but Soho and perhaps Covent garden aside it's surprisingly not all that common, in my neck of woods anyway.

I don't think it is that different anywhere in this country Slippy

What used to be known as the 'English Reserve'. Some other societies used to think we were repressed.

Sorry giggles meant holding hands.

I think kissing on the lips is really a gay thing, some other societies would accept kissing on the cheek between two men

and women as well of course.

Yous could aways get yerselves some decent night-vis gogs and head to Hampstead Heath at dusk.

Muslims hold hands in their culture as do africans and asians obviously don;t here or you'd have some football idiots,tommy fanboys too stupid to understand this...

So you think people against muslim rape gangs turd burgle eachother to vent their frustrations?

Sounds a bit far fetched imo.

Women always used to link arms in my day .but they rarely do now unless their lesbians or Chinese

Just seen 2 ladees kissing on the Amstel ad, but the blokes only do a quick man-hug.

Oh, forgot to mention that there was a race differential between the 2 ladees, sorry.

He hasn't travelled either he's just from a multicultural area.

Only when Morris dancers are in the village .
But given the phallic significance of the Maypole , I'd suggest their holding hands sends a message in itself

denzil

oh no not morris dancers as well Reynard, I thought that was totally innocent

I thought so, until they started shaking each other's bells.

Oi you lot, spare a thought for how they might feel  

Being with someone they love but cannot show their feelings.  Think how you would feel if you couldn't hold your girlfriend's hand or kiss her in public.

I had a girlfriend for four years and we couldn't hold hands or kiss in public because we lived in a rough part of london and things were much worse over twenty years ago.

found  dead up an Ali

sorry wong fed

Never have I been so relieved to be informed that a post was actually intended for a different thread

Spurs innit

yes they did quite a lot didnt they do wah, id forgotten that, women frequently linked arms, friends and mother/ daughter/ sisters  etc, but hardly ever see that now.

The lads in Burger King had probably misread the sign

How many in the **** counties?

I let me do that joke on the other thread.

*It let me

The lads in Burger King had probably misread the sign


crisp..v good

I got called 'Love' by a bloke in Bradford once.

Not really relevant to the POP, but I just wanted to tell you.

OP

A bloke followed me home from Waitrose once - turned out he was a store detective.

Holding hands ok. Draw the line at fist pumps!

I lived in Spain for many years, they are far more tolerant about such things and that is going back quite a few years now.

My boyfriend and I never hold hands in public.


We simply hold each others *****.

I once saw the Spurs players walk onto a pitch holding hands with very young-looking boys.

On the contrary, Arab men hold hands A LOT.

You say that Latalomne but:

No wonder they're confused.

First time I ever saw two men kissing was in a nightclub in Majorca in the early 80s, rarely seen it since and I don't recall ever seeing two men holding hands in the street, so imo it isn't common at all.

I think the key difference is probably when there's a perceived sexual element to it.

I've attended a number of trade events in the UAE and it is very common to see men holding hands as they wander around.  Even Sheikh Mo is a proponent.

not permitted in the pubs I use
