Something i have wondered....

    and would like your opinion on.

    I have not been around boards for years and years, well a year and a bit, and in my time here i have noticed one thing. Why is it that most of the girls who start to post on boardshave to makes them selves seem like raging under sexed overly hormonal sluts.

    I have been guilty of acting flirtatious in my first little while on boards but then i coped onto myself and slapped myself upside the head. And began posting as myself.

    I guess what im trying to say is why do the majority of girls on boards think they need to act like twats to get noticed?

    And what do you guys really think of girls who post in such a way.?

    Don't really think much of them to be honest. They're fine for virtual one night stands or a cyber quickie but theres no way Pighead would have a virtually settle down with any of the "Look at my titties" brigade. Maybe Pigheads just too much of a traditionalist.

    Airheads. Attention seeking airheads with nothing even remotely intelligent to say.

    Yeah, but you get that in real life too. Little pain in the hole ugg boot brigade that have suddenly realised that their femininity will get them on side with the boys.
    Ah well. I suppose they are teenagers and that's what they do.
    Back in my day, we were well behaved and weren't allowed to talk about boys...

    Kids these days, eh :)

    Yeah but to be honest the blokes on here do it too completely so much so you would swear they are all virgins on heat ...or maybe they are.:D

    Its a forum , it's a bit of fun ...Not much thought has to given to post here except follow the rules and chip in your two cents.
    By all means seemingly being of a lower IQ because you don't post about subjects iof substance does not an idiot make in most cases.

    People flirt in real life, people flirt on boards, as long as it doesn't go too far (and posters will usually be told to get a room by others) it's just a bit of fun. I would be more upset by ignorant/stupid/trolling posting, yes you should think before you post, some do, some don't, and while your post OP was aimed at women, I think it applies equally to both sexes !

    Jesus that was a bit of a rant! Bit of a stiff upper lip have we Jules?

    For me its the equivalant of nails scrapeing down a blackboard.

    But saying that, I think its just an age thing. I was pretty daft when I was at that age.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,239 ✭✭✭✭WindSock


    Rant or not, please try to stay on topic, chessplayer.

    Sometimes when girls or boys get bored they go a little over bord...

    There's a reason for PM's, save the flirting for there.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,183 ✭✭✭Peared


    Theres nothing wrong with being a bit flirty, most people have that side to their personality in real life. But I have to say I cringe when I see girls who base their whole identity (online or otherwise) on something like... I dunno, having boobs say. Or acting "available". Its kinda needy, especially online, and imo comes from girls who value attention from men more than anything else.

    We all have the same body parts and we are all capable of doing the same things wth them. Feeling the need to advertise that is a tad sad, and as Beruthial (I think twas her) said, indicative of having nothing else to say.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,756 ✭✭✭Jules


    My post was not directed at girls alone, wanted to see what both sides think of the situation, and as for the age thing its not just teenagers. I know women of all ages to act like complete twats on boards. And its not the harmless flirting that is annoying its the, yes i must post something that is sexually oriented every time or else the boys wont like me!!!!

    Personally i find it insulting and just makes them out to be desperate.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 16,698 Mod ✭✭✭✭Silverfish


    I think Peared put it best :)


    I just find it annoying, in real life as well as the internet.

    I mostly find girls who fill their sentences with innuendos and flirting get responses.... but not the kind they're seeking. They want attention, and get it, but the type they get doesn't solve the problem that causes them to seek it, so it goes on....and on... and on. And eventually, they wonder why they've no female friends left, really.

    I could post my long and rambling psychological report on this, but you'd all fall asleep with your faces against the monitor :)

    Maybe not:)

    This drives me mad too... I have one friend who was really bad, and I just thought it was so undignified, but then I'm really reserved with guys normally.

    The only person who gets any innuendo from me is my OH.

    There are a few girls/women here on boards who are sound out. They dont act like slags, or try to hump everything with a cock. unlike certain members of this place. But the sound ones are few and far between, im happy to say i am friends with a few of the sounds ones in real life. And even socialise with them. But i have seen the "other" type of woman/girls on here out and about and i just avoid them.

    I dunno what it is with them. 99% of them i wouldnt get up on them to get over a wall. So they arnt even attractive, but they act like they are stunning. What giefs with that loike ?

    Granted, and this is the one and only time you will ever see me type this.... But CSG has a point, there are blokes on here that act like dogs in heat.

    Now, post moar desu plz !


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    I think if i can put my 10p (s) worth ,as sombody said it's only words on a forum and not throughly a reflection of the person , as in real life.
    On another forum similar to this, there were people flirting big time on the threads and all good fun, but it was in the pms that people tend to reveil and tell more about themselfs as i am sure we all know .
    The golden rule i think with posting about any subject/thing is to have ones head in gear before posting .Not having enough time to elaborate doesnt help .
    Quote Anti -Granted, and this is the one and only time you will ever see me type this.... But CSG has a point, there are blokes on here that act like dogs in heat.

    Now, post moar desu plz !
    I thought i was the only one to notice, i am sure you have looked in personell threads and and seen some guy/gals act out fantasys as in ' i am not trolling ' .

    I'm new enough to the boards so I haven't really seen evidence of this, but think it's probably a bit harsh to say that most of them are slags. What's this about them all being bet-down? I would have thought that the boards reflects a fairly broad spectrum of people...mingers and stunners alike...and everyone else in between!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,756 ✭✭✭Jules


    Like you said you are fairly new to boards, have a look around, go to some beers, and then have an opinion.

    I think most people calm down in time. I've met some women at the boards beers and my opinions about them completely changed tbh.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,318 ✭✭✭The Chessplayer


    When you say boards beers - if you mean the thread where they all just keep on saying "i'll have a pint please tanya" then i think that's just bored people passing the time. Harmless

    Eh...no. We all meet up and go drinking sometimes. The boards community that is.

    I have never noticed this place before is this womens forum?

    I find a severe lack of women on boards, nevermind sluts.

    What kind of behavior are you refering to OP?

    @ Moonbaby, Have you read the entire thread. As if you have i think its pretty self explanatory as to the kinda of behaviour. And im not gonna post examples, cuz it would jsut be bad form.

    Ok I see a post about a boards.ie singing contest, a youtube party and a session in galway and something about a hamster. Am I missing something here? Not taking the p!ss - just not really sure what you're on about.

    Yes I have and just reread it.
    I still can't see where you are coming from. Unless it is happening somewhere I don't bother going, like the lair of the beer bellies. I definitely don't think most female posters are attention seekers.
    Females are just as interested in talking about sex, I don't find anything unladylike or attention seeking about partcipating in that kind of conversation.
    If this was a female only board conversation would be dominated by sexual content. If anything I think there is less because of the presence of men.
    Your right that it wouldn't be fair to give specific details. I thought you might construct a typical scenario, or point me in the direction of where you noticed this.

    I think you're missing the point. Its not EVERY female poster, or forum specific, it's mostly 'New Female User' specific. Lots of smilies and flirty comments in every post, and dragging threads off topic to reply to every male comment. They also make it VERY VERY clear by username or in posts that they're female.

    There's plenty of female posters that no-one knows the sex of, because they don't feel the need to start off every post with 'Well, I'm a girl :) and I think....'
