    Why do people equate having a night out with getting bladdered?

    I like to go out dancing. I like to have a few drinks. I do not like to get ossified, nor do I like to see other people very inebriated, vomiting, getting aggressive or fighting, screaming at each other and generally making a nuisance of themselves, falling in front of oncoming traffic, hurting themselves and disgracing themselves.

    Should I not be allowed to go to a niteclub because I don't want to get sick on myself and pull another girl's hair out? As it stands I don't like niteclubs, I much prefer a late bar with music - very different atmosphere, far less like a meat market.

    From my point of view, for what it's worth, we could all do with being a bit nicer to each other. I'm big into holding doors for people etc. and neither women nor men either thank you or acknowledge your presence. Nor will anyone take the initiative to let you pass through it's expected that you'll just stand there indefinitely.

    We (females) are getting slated for being rude, abrasive and impolite, which is true of some women, but not all, and is equally true of many men. When people go out with the "pulling" mentality then there's going to be huge potential for disappointment if they don't, which has a knock on bitterness effect, that's not the fault of whoever turns you down.

    I don't deny that there are some very snotty b!tches out there, but for the most part you can't strike up a conversation with a man without him assuming you're interested in him, which wrecks my head completely. I'm a major talker, I will literally talk to anyone, and having a random chat with someone at a bar does not mean I'm looking for a map to get into his pants.

    I'm looking forward to being able to say I told you so after you waste your money on it. Do let us know what you think.

    I refer you to my thread in R&R on the subject, started by me since it was my own thought process and i wasn't following the herd:

    My feelings exactly. I haven't been out to a club in years cos I hate seeing that stuff.

    Yep and you can actually hear the conversation! Don't see the attraction in going 'what???', 'huh????' every 10 seconds and mishearing questions so you answer with something really random.

    Yeah, I don't get the pulling mentality. Never in my entire life have I gone out even thinking about scoring. Maybe I'm weird but I go out to have fun with my friends. Going out with a 'mission' just seems really silly, how can you enjoy yourself when you're watching the clock and getting more desperate by the minute?

    That is the truth. I'd always be pleasant if someone came up to me, but I can't tell you the amount of times I've been called a cock tease. Not for doing anything, but for smiling and being polite and having a laugh. It's so unnerving how so many men read into that that I'm up for a shag. To give an example of how stupid these men are - this summer I was out with my boyfriend and ended up in an Irish pub overseas, a guy at the next table started a conversation with me (the bf was talking to another guy at the table), I thought we were having a nice chat, then he starts being all flirty with me and making suggestive comments. I, feeling very uncomfortable then moved away from him and joined in the convo with my bf and the other fella. When I went to the toilet, the guy said TO MY BOYFRIEND (obv hadn't copped on at all that we were together) that I was a prick tease, that I'd been flirting with him for ages. That guy was so so lucky that my boyfriend is insanely level headed and calm. But that's just one example of how many guys just see a situation that just isn't there.

    This is in reply to a quote from me that was in response to the following about men in nightclubs ..

    If guys didnt get so bladdered you wouldn't see half as many girls with 'chips on their shoulders' Drunk isn't attractive... so sober up boys!!!

    What I was saying is women complaining about 'drunk men' in nightclubs and saying 'Sober Up' is a bit rich. If you want 'Sober men' don't go niteclubbing.

    I go clubbing about twice a month these days with usually a dozen or so people and I can tell you that 99% of the time it is women who are see falling in the gutter and puking.

    Well, I have to be honest and say for me at least it is about 50% of women that will say thanks and only around 10% of women.

    This is a total myth. This whole 'bitterness effect' that women churn out time and time again. As soon as any many dares to say that women are ruder than men in society then they must be bitter. It's simply just not the case.

    Some? Come on .. when your out in a club and your in the ladies you hear the way women talk. I don't hear it but have been told by girls that it is a very catty atmosphere and in general women are very very unapproachable when out.

    If you know someone in their group it is easy but to approach a strange woman is a minefield. Approaching a strange guy for a woman is easy as he will never tell you to f*ck off and turn to his mates and blank you. If this does happen then it is very very rare as most Irish guys just wouldn't be like that.
    Blush_01 wrote: »

    Well of course he's going to think your interested in him. If a guy strikes up a conversation with you when your in a club or bar would it not cross your mind that he is interest in you?

    Women expect far too much from men.

    See just read what you said there again. Do you have any idea what that sounds like? That is so conceited. can you imagine a guy coming on AH and saying ..

    "You can't strike up a conversation with a women in a club without her assuming you're interested in her. Having a random chat with some girl at a bar does not mean I'm looking for a map to get into her knickers".

    Now what would you feel about a guy that said that, honestly. I bet you'd think he was a smug git who needed to be get over himself and you'd be right.

    If you want 'Sober men' don't go niteclubbing.

    Ill say it yet again, i don't mean stone cold sober, i just mean not drinking so much where you are unable to have a conversation/walk. You can't seriously expect to get a nice girl to give you a chance if this is what you give her as her first impression!

    There is fack all wrong with Irish men and it's about time Irish women started to check themselves rather than blaming men and demanding they meet a list they got on the Oprah show, Dr Phil or Sex and The City.

    In most nightclubs in Dublin you will see 50% of the women coming out and getting into taxis with their friends not with guys. Was there really no guys in there that were nice or cute or were they all paralethtic?

    The truth is women don't go to clubs for the same reasons as men.

    I would say about 95% of guys go out at the weekend with the hope of meeting a girl (and not just for a shag before someone chimes in).

    Whereas with women I'd say it's as low as 20% if not lower.

    It's got shag all to do with men being to drunk or staring to much or whatever other lame cop-out women throw at men. At the end of the day we have 95% of the men going out at the weekend fighting over 20% of the girls.

    Which brings me nicley back to my original point about how women are spoiled for choice. With 95% of the men on the lookout for a girl you can be a 5/10 and chances are you should have no bother finding a catch of an irish gent that is out of your league being an 8/10.

    However, what with Irish women being so up themselves and picky they will still find fault with Irish guys and we;ll have even more demands on what you all expect and need from the gentlemen of the land.

    There is plenty wrong with Irish men.

    There is plenty wrong with Irish women.

    Only 20% of women out for a night looking for a man? LOL

    I'd say 40/50% at least.

    20% of single women, at a rough guess, are looking for a man .. yes.

    There are men all over nightclubs tonight who didn't pull and if those girls who went home alone had wanted a man as much as they wanted a girl .. everyone would have been happy.

    Ok so, just back from a night out. It was ok. I actually got approached by a 20 year old uber hottie. I'm not sure if she was playing some game with her friends or not, but I chatted to her for a while and got the "OMG, I love your accent line"

    Proceeded to chat to my mate. Later on while dancing I noticed a girl who seemed to be dancing near me. I don't know if she was into me but her friends kept pushing her into me.

    A sort of ok night, just fed up now, although I'm a bit drunk too.

    Fvck all wrong with Irish men??? My arse! Even all the women on here are not saying we are perfect but you think irish men are?? Oh to be so deluded!! I feel sorry for your girlfriend. She may be perfect to you now, but if she dares to step out of the confines of what you think is a 'nice, pretty' irish woman god help her. I really think you should hang on to her because if not you will end up single forever if you go around with a rose tinted view of the perfect irish male population V the mean, ugly, full of themselves females.

    Better yet give homosexuality a try out, you'll save yourself the trouble and strife of venturing into the cesspool of choice you'd have with women. Your attitude truly stinks !

    Never said they were "perfect" and some are complete bastards but by and large I think you'd be hard pressed to find another country in this world with such a nice, sound and generally funloving, goodtime seeking male population :)

    I have never, not once excused rude agressive men in this thread. Quite the opposite and have even said how they should be dealt with. So no rosetinted glasses here.

    In the context of a drunk guy hassling/not getting the hint then a girl is within her right to tell him where to go. I have never condoned being rude to someone for the sake of it and it is disingenuous for you to say so. I have even agreed that some girls are rude and obnoxious JUST LIKE men. Irish women are not as bad as you are making out. You are the one who said you are lucky because you found a 'rare' nice, attractive irish girl therefore you have gotten personal. If you didnt want her used as an example you should never have mentioned her. The homosexuality comment was made as you think irish men are the bee's knee's, and you may have more luck with them than the hideous irish women. It wasn't a slight against sexuality if thats what you are getting at!!!

    Ultimately we disagree on this issue, that is kind of obvious!! You think the vast majority of irish fella's are perfect and the vast majority of irish women are unattractive, rude, .... fill in the blanks yourself.

    I think irish people in general are pretty decent people, we are not bad looking at all. BOTH sexes however have their faults, and it is unfair to suggest otherwise.

    I think i know which viewpoint is more likely and realistic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,033 ✭✭✭✭bnt


    I know the question is for Irish guys, and I'm not Irish, but after 10 years here I have a few thoughts on the subject. I can see the difference between things you have no control over (height, bone structure etc.) and things you do have control over, and I find the latter far outweigh the former.

    Lack of height is not a problem in itself, but if combined with excessive weight ... oh dear. The dumpy look is not attractive. I'm not expecting model-thin - that's not that attractive either - but how about getting the Body Mass Index down to, say, around 25? Yes, I know BMI is not an exact science, but if it's above 30, it's obviously unhealthy, and visible health is attractive. You can't control height, but you can control weight.

    I have a real problem with what you might call "unladylike" behaviour: excessive drinking, bad language, falling down in public. Smoking is an absolute no-no: it turns your skin grey and makes your hair stink. The ability to speak is important: it's how you let people know that you're not just a pretty face, but there's a brain in there too. The more clearly you can speak, the better you'll be understood.

    Death has this much to be said for it:
    You don’t have to get out of bed for it.
    Wherever you happen to be
    They bring it to you—free.

    I think everyone has unrealistic standards, myself included.
    I have a series of things I would like in a woman and I highly doubt I'll meet a girl/woman who will meet all of them and surpass them. So then what?

    Well according to Pete your chances of finding your perfect girl here is brrrrrutal so probably best to get out of here altogether. Try Australia or France, i bet ALL french and aussie women are perfect, gorgeous, thin, polite, sweet, don't curse, dress amazingly..... :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Lack of height is not a problem in itself, but if combined with excessive weight ... oh dear. The dumpy look is not attractive. I'm not expecting model-thin - that's not that attractive either - but how about getting the Body Mass Index down to, say, around 25? Yes, I know BMI is not an exact science, but if it's above 30, it's obviously unhealthy, and visible health is attractive. You can't control height, but you can control weight.

    I have a real problem with what you might call "unladylike" behaviour: excessive drinking, bad language, falling down in public. Smoking is an absolute no-no: it turns your skin grey and makes your hair stink. The ability to speak is important: it's how you let people know that you're not just a pretty face, but there's a brain in there too. The more clearly you can speak, the better you'll be understood.

    Is this limited to irish women? Or women all over the world? Because in my experience this applies to a % of women in every country (where they have freedom)

    And i agree with you btw, it isn't attractive, in women or men. But apparently we are supposed to put up with men being overweight, drinking excessively, smoking, cursing etc etc while we keep ourselves pristine... PFFFFT! Please!!!

    I've been to Australia and it doesn't help, trust me. Aussie men tend to be tanned and in great shape. Pasty and not in amazing shape doesn't compete

    Did you call into the pub on your way bk from the cinema Pete? Sounds like it!!!

    Fvck all wrong with Irish men??? My arse! Even all the women on here are not saying we are perfect but you think irish men are?? Oh to be so deluded!! I feel sorry for your girlfriend. She may be perfect to you now, but if she dares to step out of the confines of what you think is a 'nice, pretty' irish woman god help her. I really think you should hang on to her because if not you will end up single forever if you go around with a rose tinted view of the perfect irish male population V the mean, ugly, full of themselves females.

    Better yet give homosexuality a try out, you'll save yourself the trouble and strife of venturing into the cesspool of choice you'd have with women. Your attitude truly stinks !

    Dont post in this thread again.

    The funny thing is.. most irish women i know couldn't give a hoot if a guy is tanned, with a truck load of pecs!!! As long as he's a nice guy who'll treat them well (as in not cheat on them etc, not wine and dine them like a lot of Irish guys think women expect) and they are compatible and obviously that they don't look like the elephant man! We are only human after all.

    I think guys are a lot more judgemental of women's looks than vice versa. Hearing conversations from brothers, male friends about women is shocking and very few women could live up to it. I have never heard my friends talk about guys like that. JMO of course.

    Oh yeah, that makes sense, but it's a bit of an idealistic approach to things. Women are very judgemental too. I have a lot of female friends and they cut men in half when discussing them, they can be ruthless. An ex of mine told her friends all about me in bed and they in turn talked to me about my penis which was an excruciating conversation, I was intimidated enough by her friends as it was!

    I on the otherhand wouldn't mind being a robot...
