Well Recliner. . . if you ever know of these guys who are nice & decent looking for a single 24 yo. . . you'll let me know, right??
You should be careful saying things like that, you will probably get a ton of PM's
Pop into BGRH and flirt with a few of the lads, you never know what might happen
There are plenty of nice single guys out there, they are probably a bit older than you though, girls are more mature than guys so it takes us simpletons a while to catch up 0 -

Ooooh actually wait... Silverfish made a good point!0 -
thats the thing Zaph. . . You guys are so hard to find!!!
:(:(
Do you want me to PM directions from Celbridge to here?
TBH, it works both ways. Once you get past a certain age as a single guy women tend to wonder what's wrong with you that you're still single or wonder whether you really have a wife and 3 kids at home. That tends to make it difficult to break the ice, especially if you're a bit quiet or shy to begin with.0 -

The girls saying guys have it easier because they can go out on the prowl on their own:
The types of guys in who go on the prowl fullstop, nevermind on their own; are the types of guys you bitch about constantly.
Nice(and I do mean nice, not idiotic milksops who think fawning over girls will somehow make them attractive) guys do not go on the prowl.
In my experience single guys dont:
Get a movie with other single male friends, have a few drinks and watch the movie at home
Catch up over a coffee every few weeks
Go to the cinema together(much)
Do all the bonding stuff that girls do
A pint, watch the match and the odd house party. Thats it.
Okay, now I think there is something wrong with me and my friends
We are all single and do everything but the bonding stuff I guess.
I go over to my friends once every few weeks for a movie or to the cinema and although we don't go for a coffee, we do meet up for a meal and a pint at the weekend.The Recliner wrote: »I agree mostly with Tragedy here
I would like to think i am a nice guy, we do not prowl, far to shy for that so it is kind of our own fault that we can't meet nice girls
I know I'm way too shy for that craic. I usually meet girls by being introduced to them through other people. Once I get going, shutting me up is the trick
but I'm no use at introducing myself to strangers just can't do it.
Could never do the going to the pub alone and just chatting to someone thing either. I think that's mostly because I'm not a big soccer fan. I love watching and appreciate a good goal but I don't support any English (or Irish) team. More of an International sports fan as I like watching my country play as its more interesting because I have someone to go for.
The only other time I think you can find sport really exciting is when you have money on it and I don't bet so that's that. If I had to say I follow something, its F1.0 -
It's quite a cynical way of looking at it Silverfish, but I suppose there is merit to the point being made. The only thing about it is that it only works IRL. If some guy on Boards says he's a nice guy it's only because you're not there in front of him to make the judgement for yourself, and he's trying to make a point that not all guys are "bad". Not saying that there aren't necessarily some who wouldn't label themselves nice for more devious ends, but in the absence of any proof to the contrary you'll just have to take my word for it that I am a nice guy. No really, I am.

That happens regardless of age. Unfortunately, singledom is viewed as being a very negative thing. It's rarely considered that maybe a man/woman (particularily woman) actually chose to be single.
If I had a euro for the amount of times a guy has said "What's a gorgeous girl like yerself doing here without a date?", I'd be quitting college in the morning!
Naturally, if they see nothing wrong with your looks (and I'm not being cocky, I'm just speaking from experience) then they assume it's your personality! Or that you're still hung up on an ex or that you're a lesbian or... the list goes on...
And I'm only 19 Zaph! So all that stuff stands regardless. Granted, I can see that there is deffo added pressure when you are older! 0 -

Well, I'm just stating that in my years of experience, its always been true to me, someone banging on about how they're a 'nice guy' tends not to be.
If someone ELSE tells me 'soandso is a nice guy' I'll be more likely to believe it than them telling me themselves.0 -

That ban only applies to the bar in BGRH and is self imposed at the moment. It is a bad habit 0 -

Nope, neither I nor any of my male friends ever do anything that doesnt involve drinking in a pub or drinking at a houseparty.jesus_thats_gre wrote: »Are you taking the piss?
I only do bonding stuff with female friends
Silverfish, ANYONE who bangs on about positive attributes in real life is someone to be wary of, I have no idea why nice is being singled out. Someone who makes a big deal about how much money they earn/how great a career they have? Narcissists? People who are absolutely sure they have the most wonderful personality ever?
It's real life, if you need to describe your personality to someone - you're doing something very wrong.0 -

Obviously a very different dynamic to what I have with my friends. Have 3 different sets of friends and very little of what we do together happens in the pub.
Regularly watch a movie in a mates house. Regularly drop in to a mate that I haven't seen for ages just to check in. Regularly go to the cinema with friend.
To be honest, anytimes I have had the dynamic that you seem to have was with people I would consider being only sort of friends with.0 -
