The other PDA syndrome

PDA or Public Display of Affection is something we all encounter no matter which part of the world we live in  (may be except Saudi Arabia). In Indian context it has almost become a matter of swag slash social standing. That is if you dont engage in PDA as a couple then you are deemed to be a loser couple. Its almost like comparing Facebook likes.


Types of PDA couples we all encounter and are sometimes subject to :(.

Autistic PDA - This couple is not good in conversations. So they engage in PDA to cover the awkward silence of not being able to socialize with people around them. Its usually the female who doesn’t have much to talk about. During the entire evening she doesnt say anything and then suddenly she seems like she is going to say something and she signals her guy for a PDA break. And you realize that you need to be polite and look somewhere else.

Just hooked PDA - This is a couple thats so excited to be together that they dont realize the world around them. As an onlooker you just have to leave them alone to carry on with their kuchikooing. I am a little forgiving of these couples as we all have been there :).

PDA on demand - In this couple one of them,  usually the female needs PDA as a form of reassurance from time to time. In between conversations she will lean to her partner as a signal and the poor guy even if engrossed in an interesting conversation needs to take a break and give some  PDA. If he doesnt reciprocate he will be starved into eternity.

Grossed out PDA- Now shall we agree that none of us like to watch po#n starring ugly people. However, this is a couple engaging in PDA right in front of you, so you can't even change the channel. All you can do is close your eyes or try staring at your phone to escape this situation. Funny thing is the couple doesn’t realize they are grossing out everyone. This is the couple you need to avoid at all cost to save your mental health.

Now in this PDA obsessed world if you are not one of those couples with PDA syndrome then you will wonder why these couples need to show affection in the middle of a social gathering or heck at someone else’s living room. It seems that in psychological terms these couples need to feed their self esteem with PDAs along with material possessions like house, car, job etc. So if you are not one of these obsessive PDA couples then good news! You are just a normal couple !!!
