Kiss Off

Kissing between a man and a woman, to me, is something personal and an act that should remain meaningful. In these times of sneezing into elbows,  washing hands with germicidal in trying to avoid the passing of bacteria and avoiding those with colds,  it would seem to me that kissing amongst strangers is unsanitary. I had occasion recently to be in a social situation in a club where certain women who regularly frequent bars and pool tables, in the guise of being friendly, go about the room kissing and hugging gentlemen they have seen there previously. Now, if a man went about doing the same thing with women in the bar, there would be cause for security action.  These women are allowed to go about doing the same thing with ease and evident permission of the management. It is thought to be "cute".  The men they clutch and smear don't seem to mind it so why shouldn't they, they think. They also grab at men who are obviously with other women! The women with men who are so-attacked are not happy about the matter either but being ladies unlike the kissers, say and do nothing.  I assume direction is needed. Gentlemen Kissees, the first thing you must do, if your woman hasn't told you already, is to fend off the kisser. She is being rude and forward and what she does is not friendly, it is offensive no matter how much you love the attention. You insult your date and worse, yourself. How you go about telling the kisser that her attentions are not welcome, is something you can discuss with your dear lady or else merely back off from the kisser. If the offender persists, report her to security or the management. Her behaviour is not acceptable. Being friendly is one thing, as is a nice hug by someone you know very well, but this wet kissing stuff is not being friendly. It is making people uncomfortable and could pass on infections that are very unwelcome. Those in charge of bars ought to put a stop to it just as they do when someone loses control of their manners in any other way. Kiss off kissers.
