Ahhh…with age will come appreciation for the finer things. 
Point taken. hangs head in shame
Sorry. I was all excited to have just become able to reply to posts and I was being a major-league douchebag. On behalf of myself I apologize to those whom I have offended and/or made dumber by having read this.
Well, kid, I’m on the same page with you about people making out in public in general – but here’s a bit of (not quite on-topic) intelligence I wish that someone had given me when I was much younger:
Superficially attractive people are much more likely to be sexually inept, presumably because they’re confident that they’ll always be able to get laid without really trying.
Seriously, the quality of sex very often is inversely proportionate to the “hotness” of the person. Almost every single time I’ve chased down a spectacular beauty, the actual sex has been disappointing.
It’s those plain or “unconventional” ones that’ll rock your world.
Word to the wise.
Seconded. Boy did I waste a lot of time (not to mention toe-curling nookie) before I found that out.
Ah, high school.
I have to side(sorta) with the OP, really. Watching anyone make out is not so great (because you want to be doing it yourself!), but watching people make out who clearly have NOT read the manual on pecking order and social power is truly horrible to contemplate. What is next? Nerd anarchy? 
Why, those ugly people will start expecting to be treated like regular human beings!
That said, in HS, I had to witness, every freaking day before 3rd period, the same “beautiful people” couple make out. It was ridiculous. I wanted to say, “get a room”, but I was a nicer girl back then. Is it that tragic that they cannot spend 3rd period together? Did noone teach them manners? :rolleyes:
The ugly ducklings are having screeming orgasmic monkey sex, and are just getting revenge by showing off the fact to their pretty virgin friends.
Classy response, kid. That attiude right there – recognizing and admitting mistakes – will serve you very well on the SDMB and in life.
What about people who were at one time in their lives awkward and unattractive, say in junior high and maybe high school, but who then later became attractive?
As another who doesn’t really like watching anyone make out, especially not in the middle of the hallway at school (thank Og I’m out of that part of life), I just have to ask,
Is it always 7-8th grade girls with 11-12th grade boys?
Because that’s always the couple I encountered making out in the stairwell when I was still in high school. And that always added another element of oogy to the sight.
(I realise that the OPs school probably isn’t 7-12)
Speaking strictly from a teenage boy viewpoint (I don’t practice this myself), they’re a lot easier to get on than girls your same age. Why? I think it’s because teenagers younger than you will always look up to teenagers older than them, and when a boy older than them talks to them it’s like speaking to Og himself. Therefore, the first obstacle of teenage dating is gone - getting the girl to notice you.
Quit going to school and just watch T.V. There are no ugly people on T.V. Ever!
You’re a good kid.
When you aren’t being a douchebag
Seriously, I was one of those not-so-pretty high school kids and I didn’t want to see me make out. I didn’t want to see ANYONE make out. I’m not a fan of PDAs, whether from gorgeous people, straight people, gays, lesbians, ugly people, people making out with their dogs…just don’t do it, please. Yeah, call me a prude (You’re a prude), but I’ve always been shy like that. I think it’s great to be in love - I adore being in love - but I don’t think the entire world needs to be treated to your makeout sessions.
Hell, we were both nervous about kissing in front of our parents at our WEDDING, and we were living together at the time. However, apparently after three glasses of champagne, we got over that during the first dance.
E.
Agreed. It happens infrequently enough that I can help but notice and applaud whenever it does.
*“Is it always 7-8th grade girls with 11-12th grade boys?” *
When I was a lad of discussion age, there were boys a year older dating girls a year younger but anything more than one grade difference would heve been met with increasing derision. Seriously, there’s three and four year’s difference? What do you call that… statutory dating?
“Speaking strictly from a teenage boy viewpoint (I don’t practice this myself), they’re a lot easier to get on than girls your same age.”
I’m writing “get on” as a reference more semantical and less literal. If it’s anything different, I don’t even want to know.
I’d be filming and figuring out a way to make a buck 
Sorry, some teenage slang crept in. To “get on” someone is…well…lemme think without explaining it with some more slang… I guess it’s more semantical than anything, but when you say “I’m gonna get on her tonight at the party” it means that you’re going to intensely flirt with her in hopes of dating and/or making out with her. Hope that clarifies.
Eh, that may be your experience, but I’m “superficially attractive” and I don’t think anyone I’ve been with would say I’m sexually inept. And the quality of my sex has almost always been excellent.
But, keep painting with that broad brush. Whatever gets you through the day.
You’re not a major league douche bag. Not even close. Strictly minor leagues. 
Learn that having an emotional response to something, and making that emotional response public are different things. They are different in nature, and different in intensity.
I happen to find sucking faces in public fairly obnoxious. I don’t much care how beautiful, or what sex the participants are, they should get a room (or a stage and charge money). Sleazy is not attractive. (Ok, it does attract more sleaze, I suppose.)
Ugly folks mostly know they are ugly, and after a while they reach an accommodation with reality. Oddly enough, some of the ugly folks look fine to you. Some of them even look great to you. When the seven hundred and fifth sunrise shines down on your intimate other, they look both more, and less beautiful than they did when you met them. You see more of the things they perceive as flaws, and you like those things more than you used to. Kiss the freckles, and the chubby places.
In the end, it’s more a matter of who you love, than what they look like, and especially who loves you, rather than looks at you. You have a lot more time than you think, actually, to work this all out. It only feels like an emergency.

I think it kinda depends. I’m not offended by the occasional display of sexual feeling in public, so long as it’s spontaneious and whatnot. But there are some people who do it in public a lot … it’s kinda like they want to include you (the audience) in their make-out in some way. And maybe you don’t wanna be included in any way. That’s when it gets kinda icky. The matter of appearances … unimportant, to my mind. Wouldn’t like to be “played” as an audience by an attractive pair of exhibitionists either.
Relax. Note the use of qualifiers.
Of course there are stunningly good-looking people who are skilled in the sack. Just like there are people with model good looks that work their asses off instead of coasting on charm and sex appeal, just because they can.
Don’t react as though I’m saying anyone with symmetrical features and good skin can’t fuck their way out of a wet paper bag – it’s just that there’s a “You’re so privileged to bring me to orgasm” attitude that naturally manifests much more frequently amongst people who closely match the social ideal of beauty, and it makes for lousy sex.
Don’t take it personally. I’m not suggesting that anyone pass over the stunners as potential partners – just that they don’t automatically dismiss the plainer ones, and only consider people who looked like they’re clipped from magazines. People who do that are setting themselves up for disappointment.
Count me in among those who don’t like PDA’s at all, regardless of the looks of the offenders. However I gotta say I prefer seeing two unattractive people going at it then two attractive people–if I have to see it at all. With two unattractive people I think “Good for them! they found each other. Now if only they would find a room.” When two attractive people make out in public it just seems like they’re showing off. Public displays of sex strike me like public displays of wealth–they both seem ostentatious in very poor taste.
BTW–I’m fine with public hugs, kisses etc. But keep tongues and groping private, please.
