    What I hear in the office the mornings after the staff nights out mainly

    The wimmins love to discuss everything with their girlfriends

    They sound like a right bunch of cows if I´m honest. Would never talk about a fella that way unless he was actually being a creep...and that doesn´t depend on their looks, it depends on whether they´re actually acting creepy. Some of the creepiest men I´ve ever encountered have been lookers.

    And I´ve heard the very same conversations among men btw. Hell you even get it here in AH! Men commenting on women´s looks. Wouldn´t presume it´s the majority and it says a huge amount about the individual. Not worth wasting your time on those types.

    Ye wha? As I said, don´t want to argue with you anymore. Peace. :)

    Here's an anecdote for you, I was in a pub last night and there was a pissed up bloke in a very bad mood, nursing a broken arm and a whiskey. He attempted to sit at a table where two women (mother and daughter) were enjoying a drink. They told him to please leave. He sat beside another guy and proceeded to make everyone nervous - shouting down his phone to his wife. Alternatively pleading with her and threatening her. He left to buy cigs, the mother and daughter got chatting with the guy he'd sat beside and he eventually came over and had a laugh with them. Meanwhile, 2 other women sat where the pissed bloke had been. He came back and they lasted 5 mins before moving elsewhere.

    At this stage there was a wide space around the pissed bloke and I glanced at the sign on the pub door "we serve drinks, not drunks". Evidently not last night. Anyway, cut to the chase - the mother and daughter left but not before the daughter and nice chap had swapped numbers :)

    Gosh only knows what happened to mr bad vibes but sometimes it can be almost essential to have a pub nutter around...

    How does he know that though? Has he actually attempted to approach any? I really doubt it. His female friend he mentions sounds like a bit of a spa, tbh. Wouldn´t call her representative of me.

    Have you py2006? In a public place I mean....

    No I haven't to be honest and I don't think I ever would, especially a random stranger on the street. Strangers approaching strangers on the street is a dicey one. Potentially it could be an attacker or pick pocketer so you can understand women (especially) being uncomfortable with it.

    A man could be a pick pocketer in a nightclub too. Also you aren't a pick pocketer i assume so she'll be fine.

    A shopping centre is better IMO. Also by the same reasoning it's dicey to ask for directions or the time as you could be a pick pocketer.

    Most of my drinking mates have either emigrated or have girlfriends so I find myself going out drinking on my own in town on a Friday or Saturday night a lot more recently.It's quite weird,I've been approached by way more women in the past few weeks when out drinking by myself then I've ever been when out with a group of my mates!

    Maybe some girls find a lad sitting at the bar drinking by himself less threatening then approaching a group of us,whatever it is I'm not complaining anyways!

    Yes you would say that, wouldn't you having been the butt of one? ;) (got a few thanks if I remember correctly) Luckily it's only you and your two stooges who agree. :-)

    And they were light-hearted comments because this is AH. Not trying to be funny but to rid this discussion of us v them mentality that some posters always bring into this.

    Nothing I said prior to VEN implying I was easy was unfair. Have a read back if you don't believe me.

    Nice passive aggressiveness there py2006 with the thanks. Whatever your problem is with me, I'd appreciate you'd report me instead. Very brave :rolleyes:

    What joke? You're going to have to explain that one. And no, it's neither nice nor not nice. I'm fairly neutral about them tbh as it's AH.


    If you have a problem with me, report me. Female posters are individuals with our own opinions....not one collective hive-mind.

    I never said anything to the contrary. My joke is as much of a joke as your joke about the price of milk. :rolleyes: If you're going to be dishing out that sort of stuff you have to be able to take it. And I'm not affiliated with any stooges. I'm an individual too. You're making a mountain out of a mould here.

    It's mole hill....

    I can take your "jokes". As I said, I'm completely impermeable to your wacky sense of humour. No problems.

    Edit: the milk comment was making the point that your comment on whether the guy was handsome or not or sound or not or all these "what ifs" you put in place were pointless. Every situation is different. You can't generalise or foretell on how someone would react in a given situation.

    Sorry my comment hurt you so much (if it did...that wasn't my intention).

    You love to twist things to suit yourself don't you? First you said we were both bad at telling jokes, then you had to edit your comment to say I have a wacky sense of humour. :rolleyes:

    I thought I made a good analogy earlier, and a couple of people replied to it with a proper answer, rather than just taking the piss out of it. You also felt the need to keep winding up VEN, not that I agreed with everything he said, but it just seems like you're stirring. Or maybe I'm completely impermeable to your wacky sense of humour. Who knows?

    Did you see where the discussion with VEN began? Maybe go back and have a look then get back to me and see who started the "stirring" (tenner bets you won't though...)

    Taking the piss is what AH is about. It was a light-hearted comment by me taken seriously by you. I apologised if it hurt you and that's all I can do.

    Your the one making a mountain out of a mole hill here now so I'll leave you to it.

    I couldn't care less who started it. I'm just saying if you're going to be making those sort of comments you're going to get those sort of replys. I wasn't hurt by your comment, I was just using it as an example. I'll bow out now as I don't want to be making any mountains. Have a nice day.

    Argentinian men are lovely *swoon*. Far from tosspots, believe me. I've only ever come across this bruised ago stuff in Ireland and by Boards posters. Argie men see it as fun and a bit of a game. If a man is looking for a ride (which, let's face it, that's what many, many men are looking for when they chat a woman up), which is essentially a bit of fun, then why take the chase so seriously? You're not asking a stranger to marry you, so why would you let your confidence get so knocked? It really isn't the end of the world.
