Girls are "friendlier" during a recession...

Why? What did we do

I read your thread-post :pac:

Back when I was single I would have laughed in a girls face if she straight up asked me for a drink. A taxi home? She probably would have laughed in your man's face when they got their for being such a fool and left him in the taxi.

This is such a non success story. You looked like you had cash so a load of girls pretended to like you for a few mins to see what drinks/favours they could get from you. Bet not one stayed for longer than a few free drinks.

Jesus man. That's pathetic.

MIN2511

In fairness, these girls are very BOLD!!!! I'ld never ask a guy for a drink, my pride won't let me. I rarely take drinks from people i don't know because i fear the drink maybe spiked.
With the recession, i drink at home before i go out...
A can of bulmers light for €2.35 is better than 2 bottles of bulmers at €5.50 per bottle... Most of my friends do the same, i also really hate paying to go into clubs... I avoid places like that unless i have to go there(mates birthday)

Ah don't listen to him.

C'mon - let's go to Pinty's for a couple and we can have some burgers in Bobo's after. Everything will be better then.

[edit]Also - 2.35 for a can of Bulmers? Jaysus - don't you know Tuborg is 6 cans for 7 euro??? [/edit]

Doesnt matter. Still makes you less Irish. My guess is that you did a J1 in San Diego at some point. And that you listen to Coldplay, have attended gigs in Crawdaddy and like bands beginning with "The". If I am wrong I will eat my own shizzle.

Really- anyone who says fcuk buddy has never had a one nighter, never mind had a "FB". That is not an opinion but an actual fact.

And as for sausagefest........like, yawww. So like random.....:rolleyes:

Sorry mate Im sure decent bands/DJs/ whoever may have played it athe odd night. It is just it sticks in my mind because of "ya fancy a few scoops down Crawdaddy, The Frames are on" phonecalls

At least you recognise the type of utter clowns I am on about though.

It's nothing to do with recession, you go to any "upmarket" bars, dress well and act confidently and you'll notice you'll get a load of attention.

It's because the women there for a very specific men reason i.e to meet men with fat wallets, regardless of how they look.

So I get a shout from one of the lads on Saturday afternoon inviting me out for a "large" one with about 6 of them on Saturday night. They're apparently heading to a certain relatively upmarket club, donning the designer suits, as is their way (Know them from college, they're all 24-28, work in very solid jobs considering, or live on dod's money, but that's beside the point). Haven't been out with this set of lads in about a year so what the heck, my finest goes on too and out we pop.

So... we get to club X and from the get go the lot of us/them are attracting attention from various groups of (hot) girls. This goes on all night, it wasn't even a challenge (in single man's terms). Long story short we were each asked by several different girls on several different occasions throughout the night to buy various girls drinks, their friends drinks, etc... Moreso the other lads, as I'm not single and wasn't mixing it up as much as them. One of the lads was even invited back to a girl's house (who he'd only been talkin to for 5 minutes!), but he had to pay for the taxi (~€50)!?!

I honestly felt like I was back in that Phuket gogo bar at times, I haven't seen anything like this in Dublin before.

So... Have single (hot) girls in Ireland dropped their standards in the name of a free ride (so to speak)? - Or has the recession moved the ethics goalposts for one-night gold-diggery by an alarmingly noticeable amount?

Lads? Any similar experiences?

I started to take this post seriously until I saw that you guys got taken for a ride by a bunch of slappers

Wibbs

I make it a rule never to buy women drinks. Rarely have in the past. I wouldnt buy a complete stranger of a bloke drinks either so I dont see the point in doing so with a complete stranger of a woman. It feels too much like a bribe to me. "Here, I dont know you, but I want to get into your knickers. Here's a drink to keep you around while I do my funky thang. Well you did accept a drink from me so...". Ehhh no. If Im getting on with someone and am heading to the bar, I'll include her in the request for drinks, but that's about it. Actually watching some men do it of a night out looks kinda desperate to me.

NickNolte

Guys who buy women drinks are suckers at best, pathetic losers at worst. Women who go to pubs or clubs expecting men to pay for their drinks are gold diggers at best, whores at worst. Always funny to see it though. The pathetic, helpless, naive nature of people on a Saturday night out will never cease to be a source of amusement for me.

I personally don't make a habit of wearing a suit out, and I wasn't on Saturday. I however don't see a problem with it, seen as we had been to dinner etc too.

Mmmmmmmmmm guys in suits...

If you put identical twins in a club and one was in a suit and the other was in jeans and a shirt, I'd be more likely to go for the one in the suit - for the simple reason that guys in suits are hot!!! :P

MIN2511

Ah jeez, yis are taking this way OTT... I don't have a problem buying drinks for guys and i am a girl... It's only a drink... the person doesn't have to chat with you...

Oooh sounds like a winner! Though I can buy my own drink...

I find it odd if a guy doesn't offer to buy me a drink and we've been chatting for a while..... it would just seem rude if he was to go to the bar and just buy a drink for himself so I guess in that case I would expect him to at least offer me a drink... though I would be more than happy to buy the next one..

So Consultech... throw on the suit later and you can buy me a drink!!! :cool:

I gotta admit, I love watching some sleazy bastard in a suit getting robbed. It's very funny. But there's also the actual nice lads who are just naive to these wenches and although few and far between, it's never a nice thing to see them get robbed. So because there'a few innocent victims i think the women who do this are a lot worse than the lads in this scenario.

And of course I would offer to buy a girl a drink if we were chatting away an getting on well. Most guys on here (or at least certainly me) are railing against girls who just fart around all night, basically taking dudes for a ride by teasing drink out of them.
Then again, to those that let it happen, well, you gets owned bwoy!

Yeah I'd never go from guy to guy trying to get free drinks..... Though I know lots of women who do - bad form really, though I do kinda blame the guys for being saps!

Any time I've had the misfortune to end up in a club populated by drink freeloaders I have the good fortune to be unique enough* looking to rarely get bothered by them.

*ugly enough

On the off chance that one of them does approach me the exchange usually goes along the following lines:

Her: Hi.
Me: Hi.
Her: Would you like to buy me a drink?
Me: Would you like to buy me a drink?
Her: Eh.... No
Me: But how are you gonna sleep with me if you don't get me drunk?
Her (disgusted): I don't want to sleep with you.
Me: Then why are you offering to buy me drinks?
Her (confused): I'm not offering to buy you a drink.
Me: You probably should - I'm a bit slutty when I'm drunk.
Her: Ugh. *walks off*
Me: Ok bye now, thanks for playing!

vinylbomb

Love it!!!
My approach tends to be:

Soliciting female : Hi. Want to buy me a drink?

Me: Faaaaarrrrrrrrrkkkk oooooffffffff.

Although I'll be mixing it up a bit now that I see what can happen when a bit of creativity gets chucked in the mix!

Is it possible that an irish girl is hot? I've heard that those species do not exist

Lads who buy girls drinks are idiots and girls who ask for them to buy them a drink are bitches.

I feel sorry for neither party.

I dont understand someone asking someone to buy them something if they've just met the other. Girl housemates I had used to always go out for free nights and just string lads along. Fair play but the men themselves are eejits. Also, who wears suits to a nightclub?

consultech

Lot of suit bashin in this thread!? Like I said, I don;t get the suits in clubs thing myself, but each to his own. As an aside though; You'd almost swear the staple posters/readers of this thread were your bog standard Irish begrudgers. But Irish people aren't begrudgers, so that doesn't make any sense. :rolleyes:

In all seriousness though, a lot of folk seem to think they have myself and my "mates" (first time seeing them in over a year) pegged. Very intuitive of you all, as I have given very little info into what they're like as people. I've spoken more on the actions of the Celtic tiger spoiled doddy's brigade freeloaders in Krystle, not many (some have) people have run with appropriate abuse for those types though...

In Krystle. Wearing a suit. Flaming the clientelle in a thread. Sniping sarcastic comments in reponse to criticism.

The fact that you'd even go to Krystle is enough of a statement.
