    Oi vey. This is frequently trotted out, the subtext being a vaguely threatening "We're too good for you, foreign men are too god for you, so put out for your own good."

    Well I did say one could conclude, as apposed to one could conclude that Irish women prefer Irish men. It could very well be a combination of both. The fact is - you don't see as many Irish women with foreign men, as you do Irish men with foreign women.

    **** I'd be scared to go back out there into the dating game if this is the play now:eek:

    you have no idea.... its a case of your damned if you do or damned if you dont! XD I usually go to clubs with my mates on nights out and have no expections of guys or a standard he has to be. If he had manners Id be blown away lol. As someone mentioned most ppl at clubs are out for the ride.

    And rudeness is the sole preserve of women. Of course.


    You might point out where I said that. It was bad manners what she did and I would have said the same thing if it was a guy who did it.
    You seem to be implying that just because someone had a bad day that it's an excuse to be rude. Well it's not.

    But he's a man, he should suck it up, he probably has very little feelings anyway. The fact that he may be ugly means he can be overlooked and dispensed with. AND, after all, she's a girl (not a woman, thats a assigned to females who take responsibility for their actions and have matured), she has every right to tear this fella down for even thinking he could go up to her.

    This is the modern way, treating women like spoilt girls will just endorse them to behave like spoilt girls.

    Yes the dating scene is quite a jungle now. How does one find romance nowadays?

    When did that become a problem though? There was a time when that was acceptable. It seems now you're stigmatized for having a sex drive.

    In my own social circle, this isn't true. My experience is as valid as yours, they're all just anecdotes.

    You're right he should suck it up.
    He got rejected.

    He didn't get a slap in the face followed by a list of reasons why he won't ever get a girlfriend.

    And no, that spoilt woman thing comes from how they were treated early on. You continue being a doormat for women and they'll abuse you as one. There's nothing wrong with being firm with a woman. There's nothing wrong with being firm with a man.

    If you think a woman is acting like a spoilt child, stop treating her like one and treat her like woman

    The wristband idea is stupid. If you are very attractive you don't want everyone to know you are available.

    This idea that it's just Irish women that can be bitchy in nightclubs is ridiculous. It's the same all over the world, its a filtering mechanism to repel men lacking in cajones.

    Champions learn how to disarm the bitchiness, champions don't wallow in self pity, they practice and learn and get better at pulling hot women. They don't allow rejection to hurt them, they accept themselves.

    Who said anything about been very attractive? What about the average people? Champions know how to disarm the bitchiness ehh. God you sound like one of those pick up artists. People shouldn't have to deal with bitchiness in the first place. If someone is a bitch leave them, and move onto someone else.

    A less than friendly demeanour is often necessary in certain environments, it's reality. I should be a millionaire, should I tell that to the Ferrari salesman, maybe he'll give me one then.

    People have the right to be bitchy in the first place, that right shouldn't be taken away.

    My question is - when did casual sex become a crime?
    It never did? If anything people are probably more promiscuous than ever.
    God be with the days when you could ride some young one at the back of a night club and not have to worry about the moral implications of it. Nowadays if you go looking for that sort of thing you're a big creep. It's like men are been made to feel bad for wanting to go out and hook up with women. Are women not as promiscuous since the recession or something?
    It's called age. As women get older, many of them are less interested in one-night stands or riding at the back of a nightclub (ew... skanky - unless it's your partner).
    Bit bizarre you think people are less promiscuous really... :confused:

    In 2006 people were more promiscuous.

    In 2006 you were six years younger, in 2006 more people were going on the piss.

    You just answered your own question there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,327 ✭✭✭Madam_X


    And there you go: there isn't a culture of casual sex being frowned upon, it's just that people aren't going out on the pull as much with funds being low.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 556 ✭✭✭Carson10


    The ugly friend always comes over cos she jealous as f*ck and tries to pull the friend away.

    Does any1 else ever notice that if there happens to be a really hot Irish girl in a club she always has a really ugly fat girl friend next to her.?

    A woman....or more like girl, in a club, is no way indicative of how women in general are like in Ireland.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,327 ✭✭✭Madam_X


    It's the venues too - you'll get a much nicer crowd in rock/funk/reggae/indie-playing kinda places than you would in Rihanna-playing dumps.

    What about the trance/techno places? But yes I agree, the venues do play a big part.

    Go to better places. Usually girls grow outta that Paris Hilton phase. Just like the men grow out of "any girl will do".

    I know a song about that.

    You use this as your excuse as to why the hot one has no interest in you, don't you?:rolleyes:

    Did you ever think you might be the fat, ugly friend in the eyes of a woman?

    Did you ever think your general attitude could be piss poor?

    I don't agree with this at all, whenever any of my friends has suggested going out nobody has ever said "gee I hope we get laid!" it's a way to socialise with each other, dance and have a bit of fun. I don't think most people think about meeting strangers in the club, for the most part they want to tend to go out and chat with the people they know. Possibly the mentality of "everyone here wants to have sex with someone so why not me?" is feeding into this culture of entitlement where some men feel women are stuck up bitches for refusing them sex, or even for preferring the company of their friends over the man's company.

    Depends greatly upon the place you go to. I wouldn't set foot in the places where people basically go to get wrecked, fight and hook up.
    But it's like you going out with your friends to a club like that and all your friends have found a lad and you sit thinking "this isn't fun" and a lad comes to you and chats you up and you aren't interested. He'll see your friends and probably think you're a bitch for not going for it.

    A lot of her points are spot-on. No need for her to insult people, yeah, but she's zoning in on very pertinent points, such as the nonsense about men being just as insulted, and the amount of threads here attacking women, as opposed to the lack of such threads attacking men. Men and women are different but there are ass-hats among them both, so why obsess over one gender? I've met asshole guys - I don't feel the need to get on a soapbox about the assholes among guys, and I don't think it's a healthy approach either.

    And this is a problem. Nobody is entitled to another person's company, attention or sex. So when they refuse to give any of these things to them, it doesn't make them a bitch or stuck up, it just means they're not interested for whatever reason.

    Yes but society will always view them as stuck up or a bitch if they're a woman.
    Or in my case I'm gay if a girl won't get me to dance :D

    This is what is wrong the modern Irish women. Ridiculously high standards even when they have nothing going for themselves. The difference between what the Polish women say and the 4 Irish mingers at the end is incredible.

    God that clip is embarrassing - for a number of reasons.

    1. The stupid bint reporting sneers about Irish men the way the handful of men here go on about Irish women

    2. Plenty of those Polish women are clearly just saying Irish men are great because they feel it's the polite thing to say on camera (not doubting some are genuine though)

    3. The Irish women they chose to speak to are indeed up themselves with very little justification

    But no, that's not a definitive representation of "the modern Irish woman" and anyone who says it is is either: being a dick or not the sharpest.

    1. In fairness she's only been sarcastic as she always is for that show. She's actually quite lovely in person.

    2. Well at least they are polite, but I'd imagine most are genuine about it.

    3. Yes I'd agree with that and of course not all Irish women are like that.

    What annoys me is the automatic presumption than dancing with someone means you want to have sex with them. There are some places I've walked into, headed straight for the dance floor because the music was good, and been desolate that the second I see the dance floor there are guys sidling up to girls with the skeaziest look in their eyes, and girls are flinging their hands towards guys' arses and bollocks with come hither looks. And what's most infuriating is that this happens in the matter of half a song. By the time two minutes have passed the approacher has made contact with the approachee, gotten near them, and either had success or been rebuked.

    I fcuking love dancing. And I will say that absolutely, yes dancing a good dance with someone is extremely pleasurable even verging on sexual. But if you're just going to approach someone with lust in your eyes, then you're really not the kind of person I want to dance with. And it kills me that this happens in some places I used to really like. Because it basically means if you're on the dancefloor and a bit of a minger you have no chance of actually dancing with someone. People are just thinking, "I'd do him/her, lets throw my arms about at her and move my hips at him and see if they're ameniable to touching my genitals!" Like I said, dancing can be sexual, but it's also a way of getting to know someone (entirely through body language) and can actually tell a lot about someone. But for a lot of people it seems to be a tiny step above walking straight up to someone and asking, "Can I shift you?"

    I've abandoned a good few pubs purely because that's the way the dancefloor has headed. If I do dance with you in a pub chances are it's because you look like you're having fun and I think I'll have fun with you too. We might be able to feed our dancing off each other. And we might end up chatting by the end of the night if you seem like good fun.

    And this is a problem, I hope that this is a view society will move away from, and I think conversations like this help because they let people say they have a problem with this viewpoint and let's them express that just because a woman isn't interested in you doesn't make her a bitch.
