    Men love pussy.

    Old stereotype is that girls like cats, guys like dogs.
    An absolutely unbelievable amount of sexist puns and their associated drama can be derived from the above stereotype ;)

    yeah, was gonna put the 'in before men love pussy' thingy. too slow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    I love cats. I'm not even bothered making a pussy pun here.
    They're too awesome. I have so much respect for them and their independence.


    The things my cat has done over the years is nothing short of legendary, and that's not a word I dish out too often.

    Hence the poll.

    Sure who would keep the rats out of the place if there was no cat around?

    I have a pet cock in my garage. His name is Larry, Larry the cock.

    I'm hoping to do a male / female divide on cock loving at a future date.

    And there is no way the distribution of males to females on boards could skew this pole.


  • Registered Users Posts: 151 ✭✭Anongeneric


    Depends on what animals you have as a kid, I´m a geezer, always had cats as a kid,
    but would now like a dog, more sociable etc.

    Cats on the other hand make for an ideal bachelor pet, meet up once a week,

    "how are you cat?"

    "I´m fine what about you?"

    "I´m fine too, here´s your food, see you next week"

    "Thanks for that see you next week"

    It might be a bit skewed by the fact that boards has predominantly male membership.

    I was the first female to vote. Oh yeah. :cool:

    fait nuff. multiply results by 100 and divide by 66, then add 1.

    that shud do it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,931 ✭✭✭Zab


    I doubt you could have made more useless poll options if you were trying. The results will only show that there are more males than females on boards ... or possibly that people lie.

    yeah, sensing that alright. wonder if it can be changed? bit tired, not thinking right.

    how to fix it...?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,903 ✭✭✭Napper Hawkins


    Nothing against cats though I prefer dogs to be honest. Cats are pets for people who don't want the hassle of actually taking care of their pet that much. Though I can definitely see the upside to that.

    Dogs are great but christ they need almost constant attention, especially the smaller breeds.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,614 ✭✭✭ArtSmart


    yeah, 15 male to 3 female. pointless thread re: info. it's just a gender survey.

    if anyone wants to make a new thread with a better question, ie, male like /dislike and female like / dislike feel free.

    although in the greater scheme of things...does it really matter? that much?

    I was in prison with a fella called Larry the Cock.

    I've had two female facebook friends get cats and then that's literally all they ever post about. What the cat is doing/has done. Countless pics of the cat(s) in various poses. One even set up a facebook page for the cat and sent friend invites to everyone......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,311 ✭✭✭✭K-9


    Cats are fine, they're cute. I've a few strays near me, feed them ham or chicken leftovers, all is good, except for their stare and claws. They've no manners, I eat my dinner, they eye it and you are just an inconvenience in their way of food.

    Dogs have manners, End of discussion.

    Seriously?

    .. so when you see even female celebs with pretty much exclusively dogs; as an accessory in so many cases and far and away the most dominant popular music of the past two decades going so far as to feature aliases to accomodate their canine alter-egos.. you still think gender, and not pop culture might be a better guage?!

    .. I giveth, in.

    I like cats. Less maintenance and they entertain themselves for hours.

    fair enough.

    But I can tell you in these times when adolescence kicks in it tends to be more goodbye kitty than hello kitty.. same girls that now prefer snoop; where snoopy didn't get a look in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 59 ✭✭wotausername


    have a cat and dog! prefer either, cat more independent and dog funny :)

    It does seem to be in Ireland.
    My husband's English and loves cats, but even he told me that whenever he talks to colleagues about owning 4 of them, he gets odd looks and even odder comments.

    That said, our most recent little foundling was adopted by an Irish bloke, and I know he adores her :)

    I can't agree or disagree first hand, but I can share what my German grandfather told me : During and after the war, people in Germany would eat cats. Apparently, once skinned they look exactly like rabbits, and taste pretty much the same, too.
    He said the few people who tried eating dogs never tried it again it was so vile. Apparently, even Koreans will tell you that you need to marinate and season dog meat enough so that you can't taste the actual meat any more....
