I often find girls define "clingy" in a different way than I do. Like in your comment:
>> Wanting to spend a lot of time together, missing you easily, getting super happy and effectionate when you're around and stuff lol.
I don't see that as "clingy". That just seems very affectionate and I don't mind if I like her back. I might even like that if there's no negativity there when I'm not around or miss a call or text.
Clingy to me is like a girl who calls the police because she started to panic while thinking that you're hurt or dead because you got caught up in a business meeting and missed her repeated calls because you turned the cell phone off. It's like a girl who gives me an ultimatum between spending a weekend with her or my friends. It's like a girl who has no life of her own and revolves her entire happiness and well-being around me to the point of being suffocating. These are negative qualities; there's no positive aspect about them at all to me.

I have to have my freedom I can't have a chick tieup my weekends every moment, I like to do guy things and I don't want to be taken shopping and watch you trying on many clothes and you asking my opinion on every outfit been there and done that before. Or you making plans behind my back getting me into some type of a commitment or always throwing out an errand for me to run. If I give you Monday through Thursday be very pleased with that unless it's Monday Night Football and the Dolphins are playing then you're out of luck unless you're a big Dolphin supporter then you can join me
I've been in a relationship where the guy wasn't clingy what so ever, in fact he went to stuff on his own and didn't want me there for some reason. He preferred it that way 🤷🏻โโ๏ธ
It made me feel pretty alone and neglected even though I had my own stuff it felt like pulling teeth trying to get him to spend time with me without complaining.
Where as now I have the opposite where he wants to do everything with me! I'm clingy myself and have anxiety so for me it works quite well. There are times I wouldn't mind a bit of space but then I know I'd miss it if he wasn't like it because then I end up becoming clingier 😅
I think it all depends on your personality type and lifestyle.
Like I've always been a loner and not had friends so I like the company, where as I know extroverts who have loads of friends would hate the constant attention and clinginess.

Depends how much i like them, i'll more likely put up with clingyness if i feel strongly about them.
What, someone who loves you so much they dont want to be without you... yea lets call them clingy and cast them aside.
Me and my fiance have been together for three years and we have always spent almost all of our time together, we are honest with each other and we like to do the same stuff. If im working on a car she'll keep me company, if im going shooting you best bet im bringing my best spotter, she is right next to me giving me ballistic correction. If you feel like they are being to "clingy" maybe you are the problem in the relationship

-Robert GentryTo be honest i would love a clingy girlfriend. I would love to have a girl be crazy about me and always wanna be with me. A girl that is over protective over me would make me feel great (I think lol). So pretty much clingy girls are cute in my opinion.
I prefer clingy girls to be honest they make me feel more wanted. There are types of clingy though, there's cute clingy like calling to check up on you a little too much, not wanting you to leave, constant public displays of affection etc. Then there's creepy clingy like looking through your window for 25 minutes before coming inside to see if you're cheating on her. Ella, I know you use this app so if you're reading this you're fucking weird.
Yes. It's a definite dealbreaker for me.
Clingy people tend to be (or at least come off as) jealous and sometimes paranoid. All that drama isn't worth it.
I have no issues with wanting attention but she should also be able to do her own thing, on her own/without me.Yes, it often is. Wanting more time together is one thing, if I have the time. But girls who want to spend every spare minute together is just plain unhealthy, especially if they get real jealous if they don't monopolize all the guy's time. This normally indicates she will only have dysfunctional relationships.
I'm not there to change her, so I have to break up with her if she's too clingy.I have known women that feel one message a day to say you are thinking about them and wishing them a great day is too much. I have also known women that feel a message every couple of days is you not being interested in them. It all amounts to people's perception of what is clingy or not.
I don't think a clingy Partners Adele breakup to be honest I actually like to give a lot of love to the woman I'm with and spoil her and make her feel like she special at the only one in the world I like to treat my women the way they deserve to be treated like a princess
Depends how much.
Annoying clingy is monitoring who you talk to, can't go 5 mins without texting you and always talk about you.
Acceptable clingy is heavy want of physical affection, wanting to spend a lot of time with you and genuinely cares about you.Yes. I'm a veteran, with PTSD. Hanging on me in public is going to drive me nuts. I need my limbs free to react to potential threats. In private, you can drape yourself on me like a blanket. :)
Theyโre not always bad. I think theyโre cute and their love is true, once theyโre gone youโll miss their clinginess
For a casual sex guy like me: yes.
I only have sex with a few female friends and we stay casual, but once one of the girls decided it was a good idea to ask and do more. It wasn't. I'm not that person, if I had time for clingy girls I would be in relationship.Some people like to have a clingy partner, but for me it is a deal breaker. I don't really want to be "joined at the hip" with someone. For me, a clingy partner doesn't give me enough breathing space and it's annoying. But to each their own. Some people like it.
If it's not very annoying, no. In fact I find a little clingyness to be the opposite of a deal breaker, because you know they're interested. You might say knowing they're interested is only helpful in the beginning stages, but I've been blindsided deep into a relationship where just all of a sudden she didn't care anymore. It's a good reassurance
Haven't had experience but for me it would be flattering at first but I feel it may become annoying later on. Not necessarily a deal breaker but I would definitely talk it out with her if it does become over bearing
Not necessarily. It depends on how clingy, and at what stage into the relationship. And also how in love we are. If you are extremely, head-over-heels in love, and married, then you probably wouldn't mind, and actually enjoy having a clingy partner
Depends. If she isn't able to give me my space when needed then yes it is. But it can be nice too if someone likes you that much to want to be with you.
Yes, an overly clingy partner is stifling to an introvert and comes across as being overly possessive and as if you don't trust your partner to not run off with someone else the moment you aren't with them
Depends on the clingyness. There are certain times where being clingy is really cute, others, where press super annoying. For instance, if you are worth your family or hers, and she's really close or next to you, that's really cute, however if you tell her you are hanging with the guys or gaming with them, and she invites herself or had to be there, annoying. In my humble opinion.
As long as she is not controlling and allows me to live my life and could tone it down once in awhile, I would be fine with it. She is expressing her love and maybe feeling a little insecure so I would help her feel secure.
