Okay, I have always enjoyed sociology and psychology (although I hated writing papers, so I never took them up as a minor/major), so I always enjoyed studying people. What better to study than people's interactions with eachother in things such as ... relationships.
With my studying of the homoerectus species in their rituals that I shall dub courting, they tend to do something where they intertwine their hands like a vine growing around an old pipe. I shall dub this holding hands.
One thing I noticed about the female homoerectus is that she tends to latch onto the poor unsuspecting male as soon as possible and won't let go in any situation. Here's an example:
While sitting in the cafeteria at college, I watched a couple come down the stairs to the register thingy-ma-bob. They were holding hands... aww how cute. But anyway, they held hands while having their cards scanned, while walking back to find a table and going back up to get their grub. Watching the poor male try to snake through the endless obstacles like a mouse in a maze trying to find his illustrious cheese... it made me sad.
Do the female homoerectus really find it necessary to hold hands just about anywhere, even if it looks like the most uncomfortable position ever.
In my own experiences with the aforementioned... I've had women want to hold hands while going up stairs, opening doors (heavier the better) and even while trying to be on the computer. The gall of such actions! I found such actions very uncomfortable, especially with my very limited ability to type one-handed.
From my studies, I find that this holding hands is being overdone by the homoerectus species, much like occured with previous things like the Macarena, Pokémon and Napoleon Dynamite. |

| I think hand-holding is what led homo erectus to its demise 250,000 years ago. |

Okay...this is a good example of the overabundance of physcology students in universities these days.
Personally, I like hold my girlfriends hand. End of story. |

Egh, I hate holding hands. Ick. I hate humanity so much that I'd rather not associate myself with any person by holding his/her hand.
Well, leave it to a slightly autistic individual who can't love.
The most respect you can get out of it is in the fact that I won't call you an idiot, but I still refuse to hold hands with anyone. |

Hand holding is for keeping track of small children and comforting the sick and/or scared. But then again, I'm a heartless old crow.
What really annoys me is when I see teenagers dragging each other around by the hand. You're not a dog, don't let your significant other drag you around like you're on a leash! |

| I don't mind holding my girlfriends hand ever. It's just comforting in my oppinion to know they're right beside you and want to be 'part' of you. |

I'd like to see some statistics on the amount of deaths caused by holding hands and not being able to let go.
Rly now, when someone is annoyed or unable to do his/her work because his/her significant other / random stranger is holding his/her hand, it's not too hard to break off and/or ask the other to let go. It's not like stopping to hold hands for a sec to get something done means breaking up with the significant other or something.
I wouldn't call it 'horrid torture', no. Unless the significant other excretes biting acid instead of sweat. A man is often man enough to tell the other to let go. And the other should be reasonably smart enough to see that the man can't do his stuff because of her holding hands.
Holding hands is in 99% of cases a thing done by two parties, not by just one, certainly not by the woman. |

| Meh, I don't see what's wrong with it. Holding hands isn't a big deal. To be honest, It's used more commonly with small children, therefore deeming it "not creepy". And if you were able to come up with a post like that, you're thinking well too into it. Honestly, every mate I've ever had had no problem with it. |
