    My first thought was depends on the situation but then I realised that it's definitely easier in any situation for a girl to pull a guy than the other way round.
    Obviously attractive men and women are pretty much on the same level but
    generally speaking, if an unattractive girl goes around trying to get with a lot of fellas shes labelled a slut but will still get some,

    If an unattractive man goes around trying to get with a lot of girls he's labelled a creep and is usually ignored.

    Maybe i'm just doing it wrong :pac:
    I'd question you interpretation of the word pull

    It's so easy for women to pull it's actually bordering on ridiculous! :pac:

    maybe that's what's wrong, all the lads you're interested in can see your chastity belt through your large baggy jumper :)

    I'm a ride, So I have No bother getting women..

    It's 1 millions times easier for a girl. She doesn't have to do anything, even if she doesn't look at a guy during the night she will probably still get approached.

    And if she makes a move, even if she gets shot down, 99.9% of the time the guy will be polite about it. Unfortunately guys aren't returned the same courteousy.

    The only time a girl might have it difficult is if it's me she's interested in. I never notice girls eyeing me up and even if I think they are, I'm almost always wrong. So the one's that are interested don't stand a chance unless they come over and introduce themselves as I'll probably never notice/believe they're giving me the come-on.

    It probably doesn't help that my eyes dart away all the time too. Almost like I don't want them to feel uncomfortable that I might be interested in them. Low self-esteem is such a great thing :D

    Male.

    Its easier for a a woman to pull guys because women have boobs:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,130 ✭✭✭✭Kiera


    I'm useless with guys. I'm a crap flirt and never pick up on them flirting with me. Even if they stand there and ask for my number. I'm just useless. Guys need to smack me over the head and tell me they like me or i wont cop it.

    Without a doubt women, for the reasons Pete out-lined.


    Its like shooting fish in a barrel, even for an average looking woman.

    Has anyone ever tried that? It's fecking dangerous with all the ricochets. Plus, the fish is an inedible mush afterwards.

    I was always approaching men on a night out most couldnt have been bothered with me as im a brunette and not some dumb ass woman fake tans to a glowing orange and wearing next to nothing with barely a pick on them

    Met my OH on the net lol

    Is that really what you used to tell yourself? It wasn't anything to do with your judgmental attitude to men and blondes, no?

    Ha no I really did go up and try to chat up men they would then ignore me after giving me the 'eyes' for almost an hr

    I think its more connected to my age with the way young women dress going out now?

    I doubt it. Sounds like it could be your attitude tbh. I'm 30 and wear jeans and a dressy top out and while i never notice guys coming on to me my friends are constantly pointing out that they are.

    /oh and i'm blonde btw so maybe thats it :rolleyes:

    Ha I did write no offence to Blondes?

    I meant the bimbos that go out tarting themselves?

    Im sure you've seen them out on a night out yourself

    I have no problem been rejected when i ask a guy does he want to join me for a drink

    Im just saying I dont think its as easy for women there maybe many blokes on a night out but what they want (ie. myself) is a different story

    Ha not like I really have to worry about it right now or for a while maybe it be a different story in a few years so ?


    I think Il leave it at that before I dig myself into a bigger hole!!

    Women have a natural advantage over men. It's probably an order of magnitude easier for a woman to have success with either gender than for a man to do so. This is probably reinforced by the fact that the female body is worshipped.

    Yeah as someone said before, men don´t mind scoring a bird they don´t fancy but women won´t do the same. Men have more options.

    A serious question: how can you pull someone you don´t think is attractive? I don´t get it. What´s the point? Why??

    I occassionally get chatted up, unfortunately it's usually fat, awful looking birds or bent chaps (seriously, I must trigger gaydar or something, which I can't understand as I don't dress or look like a bent chap so f knows what makes them think I'm gay :confused:). Only 4 or 5 time has a good looking lady ever initiated things :rolleyes:

    A better question would be is it easier for a woman to pull a man she finds attractive or for a man to pull any woman.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,762 ✭✭✭✭stupidusername


    I'm shocked at the results, why do people think it's so easy for women? I'd be terrified of approaching a guy. Do women do this, and 100% of the time succeed? Maybe I shouldn't be so afraid of it so! Wait, is this just about when drunk?

    Scenario 1

    Woman: "Want pussy?"

    Man: "eh... eh... um... omg... Orgasm... *faints*"



    Scenario 2

    Man: "Want cock?"

    Woman: "PERVERT!!!"

    How in the name of God would Men have more options?

    90% (rough guess) of blokes on a night out are looking to pull a girl, for at least a kiss and cuddle.

    That would seem like a hell of a lot of options to me.

    If you are trying to say that the few women that are actually out on a night to pull, are just not happy with the selection of men, then those women need to get their head out of their arses and stop being so selective about what they find suitable for them.

    Irish men are just as good looking as Irish women, neither sex can claim to be above the other in this area.

    What a nonsense excuse.

    i think most men dont want to be pulled. not being big headed but there is nothing worse now than a girl coming on too strong.
    ok granted i am in my mid twenties and a few years ago it would be great and seemed to never happen either. maybe i dont stink of want so much.

    also guys whole night is built around going out to pull. i think women love the confidence boost of getting chatted up. so doing the chatting up doesnt give the boost.

    Women just dont have the balls (literally) to take the risks that lads do. If they did they'd rule the rule the world with the power they have over us.

    Men must chat women up- its always been that way and always will be.

    Relex the cacks there man. Jesus. I´m only going on what guys say right here in AH and on this thread otherwise where would I come to that conclusion??? I´m not a man. SUPPOSEDLY a lot of them don´t mind scoring women they´re not all that into. I don´t think women are the same. You hear jokes being cracked like "doesn´t matter about the mantlepicee when you´re poking the fire" or "she was a dog, but I´d still give her one"...these phrases were coined by MEN, not women. I neevr heard a woman talk like that, have you?

    If women are more inclined to have standards (only going on what the charming gentlemen of AH say), then surely their options are less.

    PK2008....see the comment above? This is the kind of shiite women have to contend with and puts them off. Still a stigma attached to women talking the initiative and approaching a man in some circles.

    Eve_Dublin is right, men have a switch that goes off around 12oclock and it means they dont care aslong as they pull. I have friends looking to meet nice girls but come 12 they are only interested in the dance floor in coppers etc.

    Pretty much true. At a primal level most women are looking for the best possible man they can get whereas most men are looking to get as many women as possible. It's basic biological programming. Females want the strongest genes possible and males want to disseminate their genes as widely as possible.

    One wants Quality the other Quantity, so not really a fair comparison.

    To be fair Pete,i don't think she was saying that.
    She was saying what i and someone else already said-SOME(not all) men will shag a girl even if they don't fancy her in any way, shape or form, whereas a lot of women, have to at least fancy a fella before jumping into bed with him.

    Yeah and women often date rich ugly men for their personality! ;)
    Both sexes make excuses when they want to have sex with someone and have to justify it to friends.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9 hyster


    in fairness everyone has pulled someone they are not attracted to

    and im sure we have all been on the other end of that and been the reason for what the hell did i do last night moment.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,884 ✭✭✭Eve_Dublin

    Were not talking about dating, we´re talking about "pulling" which will probably only lead to a one night stand at best. ;)

    I totally agree with OutlawPete here, saying that men have more options then women is totally ridiculous IMHO. I think the poll more then highlights this fact.
