The Backwards Man

Just remember, a man with rough hands is a man that doesn't know how to wash dishes

Mister Vain

You'd never see a man in the bog wearing skinny jeans. You wouldn't be able to foot the turf in them yokes.

Is clothes that massive a deal...been meaning to buy new myself



What do people make on scratches/scars on hands as I do be clean but my hands do be scratches etc and sometimes the dirt is wicked hard to get cleared off the knuckles

Like I do be cleaning for ages with nail brush etc...but it's hard if your rushing etc in a shower after work to get out again

You'll be grand. Have to stop saying 'I do be' though.

No he doesn't. There's nothing wrong with what he says.

If you're wearing clean clothes that are fairly appropriate for whatever we're doing, then that would be the most I'd expect.

Whens the date lads?

I think there was more users on Pof a year ago, is online dating not as popular or is there another site ?

OKCupid and Tinder.

I'm starting to think I should throw away my newly acquired clothes and just buy some snickers trousers.

You women are a mystery!

Yeah I was only kidding about the clothes (well not the skinny jeans!)

Don't see anything wrong with rugged hands either, I think if your date knows that you do manual labour then they shouldn't expect beautifully manicured hands

SNICKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Slurp. Sploosh.

I never really notice a guys clothes unless he is wearing something totally hideous. If you put a gun to my head I wouldn't be able to tell you what the guy I went on the last few dates was wearing. Its all about how they carry themselves and act, not what they are wearing.

That said, if he turned up in a tracksuit I would send him home!

My favourite look is early 90s combat trousers, a cool t-shirt (preferably Stone Roses or the like!), maybe an open check shirt and a pair of Docs.

Rewards come to those that make the effort.

I just remembered that I saw a kilt in the wild the other day. A lad walking down a road in the arse end (:)) of Galway wearing a kilt, like it was an everyday occurrence. He didn't have a Scottish accent either (maybe Dutch at a guess).

If a guy turned up on a date wearing a kilt, I have to admit I'd be taken aback. Those things are best left in the imagination I think (worn by the lad from Outlander ).

Be awkward if he had better legs than you on the date!

I saw him too. Poor excuse for a kilt though. No tartan I recognised.

Have only had two tinder matches since I set it up. There cones a time when you get totally demoralised.

Don't go down that road. You are not the sum of your dating experiences. It's really important to be happy enough in yourself to not let that stuff get to you. We aren't going to appeal to everyone and everyone isn't going to appeal to us.

You need to man it up a bit super. I'm 39 and one thing I know now that I didn't when I was your age is that women love someone like you. Romantic, cuddly and nice. They are not initially attracted to that though. You have to be manly but sensitive. Sensitive is not an opener.

Not a viewpoint women like to hear but it's true.

Get you some snickers trousers man!

But I don't act all sensitive around women. If anything its complete messer.

He just needs to be himself. Not try to be some kind of alpha male or adopt strategies to meet a woman. All of who he is is all he needs to be.

My biggest problem I'd say is that there is nothing to do where I'm from. No clubs or societies anywhere near by. I honestly feel I would have no problem if I was in Galway or Dublin cos of the shear number of women. Can't afford to move though.

Have you had anyone give you advice with your profile pictures? I've seen a lot of profiles that had really bad pictures but people were totally oblivious to this and of course this had a negative effect on their potential match rate, it might be worth getting someone to have a look at your profile.

Not close to Derry.

What about taking the whole business a little more in your stride Super? You seem like a really great guy. Maybe stop trying so hard. It could be another ten years before you meet the love of your life or you could meet her next month and be separated before you are 25.

Concentrate on yourself and living your live. Love will come

Neediness is a major no no in guys. Don't have a girlfriend for the sake of it, have a girlfriend because she's the one you want to spend your time with.

I fully understand that. I'm actually very cool on the outside, I make sure to not let any insecurities show.
