    I think they think you want to **** them funny that, a mate of mine a taxi driver recons that most nights (after the nightclub) he gets heaps of chicks crying into his face cos they can't get a guy.

    hahahah there just young op, don't give a ****

    OP, you big error here was approaching Irish women. Foreign women are better for the gene pool and better for your mental health.

    Not Your Ornery Onager


    Went out last night with several mates, we approached several Irish women for a chat, (none of us were drunk) and all we ended up getting was really harsh put-downs within the first 10secs. A woman has no rational reason to put a man down like that so fast. Where is the respect and manners amongst Irish girls these days?

    This is just silly. There is an implication in the majority of the posts on here that if a man approaches a woman in a nightclub she should
    (1) respond in a way that indicates she is attracted to him, or
    (2) respond in a way that indicates that she wants to be his friend.

    What about option
    (3) 'I don't want to mate with you, and I don't want to be your friend, I'm here with my girlfriends and we're all hot lesbians?

    But really; girls aren't obliged to be polite any more than guys are. And if you're telling me you don't know guys who can be rude to girls in nightclubs then I'm afraid you may have a credibility issue.

    I learnt that's it's quite futile just walking up and chatting to random women.

    It's much better to wait and sus out who is showing an interest in you. Wait till you find them glancing over and smiling, then you have a much better chance.


  • Posts: 17,378 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Avoid Irish girls like the plague.. Even when they're backpackin over here, they're tough work. If you chat to them at all, they presume you're interested when really I just got left standin next to them.

    Lets be honest, they are less rude and more craic than German, French, Polish....pretty much most nationalities.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,940 ✭✭✭4leto


    Lets be honest, Irish men and I am one, are pathetic. I sometimes think from living abroad Irish men are naturally shy and the only way we can approach a woman while out is when we are half pissed.

    As for Irish woman they are usually equally as pissed and tanked up to respond to the the usual drunken banter.

    Foreigners really do drink less while out, they even do things like go for a meal, I know weird.

    How To Make Sure You Never Learn How To Talk To Women:

    Blame them every time you do a bad job of it. Seven guys going up to a group of girls at once is a bit much; they may be attached; they may have decided to have a girls' night out. Going by what I've heard from female friends, unwanted male attention is a more or less constant hazard in Irish nightclubs. If you're the fifth group they've had to get rid of that night, then they're probably right to be rude about it - otherwise they'll spend their whole night trying to politely get rid of blokes.

    They weren't interested in talking to you. You have a choice of what to do with that fact: either blame them and assume that all Irish women are horrible harpies (which is childish, unpleasant and misogynistic) or figure out why they weren't interested and change that. If they don't like talking to large groups, try going out in smaller groups. Try chatting to them at the bar while they're waiting to order. Try going speed-dating. Try dance classes. Try internet dating.

    Just because you fancy talking to some women on a night out doesn't mean they have any obligation to humour you.

    it wasnt seven approaching 1 obviously, it was one approaching one or two


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11 AnnieBaby


    Ahhh this is sad :(

    A few Irish fellas visiting my hometown this summer said it was common for Irish girls to be a tad rude in nightclubs in Dublin City.

    It's hard for girls too though; often if they show a bit of niceness it gets misunderstood by the fella as something more.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 435 ✭✭tweedledee


    AHHH the Irish are such great lovers ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 243 ✭✭jonnygiles


    Im sure that situation has happened to most guys in their time OP. It does seem that the majority of women in the 18-22 age bracket appear to like beign very dismissive to advances whether they were in a acceptable manner of not. Best off ignoring them and just having a good time on your own, let them come to you. Decided I had enough of chasing Irish women and now have an American girlfriend and couldnt be happier:) Foreign women to tend to be more approachable just to have a general conversation with imo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,451 ✭✭✭Onikage

    I know, I'm being facetious. I appreciate that you had an unpleasant experience, but what do expect will happen if you post about it here? I suggest you should be prepared for the following responses:

    A: Agree
    B: Blame you
    C: Pics or GTFO/Yore Ma/Blast with piss/Atari Jaguar

    Don't expect too much of A.

    A lot of Irish girls are stuck up their own hole on nights out. Full of nasty attitude thinking they are all models and they can treat guys (they don't fancy) like crap.

    To be honest I'm sure American women treat American men how Irish women treat Irish men :P

    Lol well I just think that us Irish in general are very bad in chatting up. Most of us guys seems to only try to talk to girls with a lot of drinks on them and that can get irritating. There are also some women in Dublin whos perfect night can be to refuse several advances from guys to make them feel better than other women around them. At the end of the day nightclubs arent all what its cracked up to be, going out on a night out is meant to be fun isnt it?:rolleyes:

    Well I found my boyfriend to be quite polite when I first met him :) He's always been more friendly than my previous (American) boyfriend and still is... nearly three years after meeting him :D

    I will probably always love the Irish because of him...

    ...And I met him in a night club :P

    Maybe they didnt want men they do not know coming over and getting in there personal space. Just because some men are on the pull does not mean women have to humour you. If some girls want to head to the pub and have a few drinks without dudes hitting on them they are entitled too.

    That is not the point.

    Its the rudeness and ignorance of some of these girls.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,619 ✭✭✭ilovesleep


    I wouldn't consider myself rude and I would be polite and courteous to others.

    Do you know what I hate. Being polite and considerate and then some fellas would take that on board and get an absolute ego boost from it. Yeah, I just asked you for a light, it doesn't mean I want to shag you.

    Ahahaha! I'll have to agree with this ... so true. :)

    However as a woman, one thing I HATEEEE:
    ...women who think EVERY fella is attracted to them... urrrgghhh (know a few of these)!

    They are the same sort that end up crying every-night to their friends asking why are they alone!.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,844 ✭✭✭py2006


    We still live in an age where for the most part men have to do all the work in terms terms of approaching somebody. Girls just have to sit there so these poor guys have no idea if they are going to be told to f off or get a 'hello' back.

    I cringe when I see a guy approaching a girl only to be given a dirty look or told to f off.

    Not all guys are drunken sleaze bags as some of the girls are suggesting here. By all means be rude to them, but the guy who merely says hello there is no excuse for it.

    And no your not all supermodels so get over yourselves.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11 AnnieBaby

    Some of my friends (LOVE them... really do, just drive me crazy sometimes ahaha) are ALWAYS mentioning "the inappropriate way he...and he... and he and he and he...." looked at them

    hahahahahhahahaha


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34 bohsmug


    What if you just start crying and said "my dog died today"? If they look anyway apologetic (which they won't) then you can turn to one of them and explain that she reminded you of her.

    Then skip off happy and post about it on the internet.

    Nobody has to do any work. I know plenty of women who've done the approaching bit. But if any guy constantly gets shot down in a rude way, I would think -1. you're picking the wrong type of woman, and 2. stop approaching them (seems like the easiest solution - you don't have to approach anyone :confused:)

    However, I think there's no need for anybody to be rude -that's bad form. But I don't get the attitude. If I was approaching guys and they were constantly rude to me, I'd stop approaching guys. Simples

    For these guys its hard to pick out the right and wrong type of girl. You can't tell by looking. Guys will approach a girl they find attractive.

    As for not approaching anyone? Eh, how is a guy supposed to meet a girl if he avoids them all! ;)

    And men never act like dickheads on nights out?

    Look, being rude to people isn't cool, no matter what you look like.

    Yea some do! But they don't act like complete divas if a girl they don't fancy approaches them!!

    Not sure what the connection with being a model and being rude is?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,770 ✭✭✭LeeHoffmann


    I didn't say he should avoid them - just don't approach them. They might approach you and you'd probably have better luck with women you meet through work or friends. I've tended to have a prejudice against gorgeous people in that I'd think they're more likely to behave in an arrogant way (such as described in the OP). However, men tend to all approach the one gorgeous woman in the room and then bitch about how arrogant she is. Lower your standards a little - I don't mean drop them completely, but hitting on somebody who's more in your league would likely yield better results

    Generally speaking I meant! Some do of course! :)

    Its still a bit rare for Irish girls to do it! However, if you go over to Liverpool, Newcastle and parts of the States far more women will make an effort.

    Some guys will find that scary as they are not used to it! haha

    Well, you've mentioned it a few times like it would be more acceptable if they were beautiful or something.

    And it's an attitude that many rebuffed men have on nights out in this country: "Yer not that fúcking hot" type thing.

    I didn't say it would be acceptable if they were models. I was referring to the trend of young Irish girls who 'think' they are models because they got dolled up.

    What makes you think they think that? Maybe they just feel they look their best, not that they think they look perfect.

    young Irish girls
    maybe you should start hitting on women


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,844 ✭✭✭py2006


    Getting back to my point, there is a horrible attitude problem with a significant percentage of Irish girls in their late teens and early to mid twenties. They think its perfectly acceptable to be extremely rude and disrespectful to a guy they don't find attractive. Its not because he is an asshole or groping her on anything like that. It is merely because she doesn't think he is good looking. Which effectively makes him a 'creep'.

    I am not talking about the drunken sleaze bags. I am talking about the guys who standing at the bar waiting on his drink and turns and smiles or says hi to the girl beside him and she tuts and turns her back and the guy who says hello but is met with a 'yea right' and then turns and giggles to her mates.

    I have seen it countless times.

    From my own experience, I was sitting at a table with a group of friends and I noticed that the girl sitting on the table beside me didn't realise her jacket fell off the back of her chair onto the floor. I picked it up and handed it to her only to be met with a dirty look and she shifted her chair away. To be honest, that is my only personal experience of this attitude.
