    You ever see a hen night ? Horrific.

    I gave up on Hen Parties after one I went to in Galway was just a bridge too far.

    Women dressed up in mini-police hats talking crap.

    The guys on Saturday were bad though. All nearing 50 and thought they still had it. They hadn't.

    One or two were a bit pushy too. Absolutely vile language.

    Should every statement about a specific group of men come with #notallmen and #womentoo so some sensitive soul on internet won't get offended.

    Lots of people seemingly trying to societally enforce monogamy round these parts.

    Or we could just not be such judgmental prudes, just a thought. People cheat for a million different reasons.

    Do you think a woman cheating is a scumbag or some other word you'd rather use? Do you think calling her an ugly this, or an ugly that (based on her pics) is fair game too?

    Now we can't even laugh at sheer stupidity of thinking that taking picture of Moses basket is good way to get laid. It's just about the biggest turn off around short of co sleeping with tge child.

    And those other people with million of reasons are not singled out. The genius with Moses basket is.

    It was a nasty thing to do, to try set up a cheat. I'd hate if it was my husband. But infidelity happens. It's really mean, but it's not a hanging offense. I can imagine the schadenfreude of those thrilled to be sharing the pic online along with their false moral outrage - silly occupation. Maybe next they can form some kind of band of lady detectives who film with their smartphones through local bedroom windows between the school runs. And then... to be displayed in a national newspaper?? It seems incredibly silly all round.

    I disagree. I have no problem with swinging, wife swapping etc.


    What I have a problem with is someone lying & cheating. You'd throw a wobbler if you found a mate cheating at poker or a mate lying and knowingly selling you a lemon of a car ripping you off for a few thousand euro? That's a scumbag. It doesn't have to be about sex & it doesn't have to be a man. A liar & a cheater is scum male or female.

    Sorry, because he's supposedly stupid (and has a moses basket in the pic :confused:), THAT'S what makes him a scumbag?!

    It's what Moses the prophet sleeps in. People keep him as a pet.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,624 ✭✭✭✭meeeeh


    What's a Moses basket

    A basket bed for couple of weeks/months old babies. Anyone who had it in their bedroom will tell you it's just about the biggest turn off.

    What's a Moses basket

    My mammy dropped me out of my moses basket when I was six weeks old, right on my head on to the concrete outside our house. I think it explains a lot :D

    Jesus it's definitely August anyway.

    FWIW a married mother of an infant trawling for cock on Tinder while daddy was away with the baby would get ripped to shreds, it's mind bogglingly stupid to think otherwise.

    Strikes me as someone going through the post-baby dry spell, having a few drinks too many at home alone and making a stupid drunk horny decision.

    It's not the worst thing anyone's done, but it's bad. To the very limited extent that I give a shít, I think it's very poor form, and he's a dope.

    He looks grand for 42 though?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,188 ✭✭✭Malayalam


    Hmmmm, checking it out again to see if he looks as bad as all of us over 40 are supposed to look ;) I reckon it's a kid's toy, like a bed for dolls. Anyways I had whatever the children slept in at the time - drawer, cot, basket - lingering in the bedroom for years after they had learned to climb out of it. Grand place to throw the socks.

    All of that, plus whoever put it on Twitter needs to have a word with themselves too.

    Meh these stories are just easy to sell and get clicks

    consider todays one

    WEDDED DISS Jilted fiance sells his cheating bride-to-be’s £2,600 wedding dress for £650 online to splurge on beer, hookers and a day at the races

    The Ireland-based seller reveals it belongs to his fiancee who dumped him for a new lover in London

    If anyone really needs to see the double standards applied to men, just look at the comments from the women on the related twitter feed. Only seem to be concerned with the 'way he speaks about women' and probably had it coming as a result. He calls her a liar and a thief (not sure what the thief bit is about myself)

    Who was it that said women doing the same would be torn apart for doing the same thing :rolleyes:?

    He only looks grand because he's a naturally skinny little weed, see your man, the infamous Mark Hennessy for someone with a similar build. Believe me this guys bodyfat would astonish you. His chest and noodle arm are disgusting.

    Is he a cheating douche?? yes!

    Would any mainstream media outlet worth their salt actually bother with this ??? Absolutely not

    A very slow news day at the Cringedopendent.

    lol at all the ones agreeing with her post. God help any young man growing up in this day and age, the future is rightly ****ed!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 771 ✭✭✭HappyAsLarE


    It is obvious to me why a promiscuous woman is a slut whereas a man is a legend.

    It has to do with the cost of it. A woman can get pregnant. It is built in instinct that we look unfavourably on women who don’t appreciate that cost. They should be choosy from a evolutionary sense.

    yeah but then some cis white man invented the contraceptive pill thereby undoing millions of years of evolutionary biology.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,394 ✭✭✭Pac1Man


    Maybe the moses basket is where he rests his humongous penis at night. All snuggled up on a penis pillow with a matching blanket.

    Maybe he's not a father at all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,029 ✭✭✭✭anewme


    I disagree that he looks grand for 42.

    Skinny fat as another person said.

    The picture does not sell him. That was my first thought too, that he was no bargain, with or without the basket.

    42 is not old, I’m In a gym and lots of the guys ten years -15 years older than that are in great shape Physically and they would not be gym addicts but look after themselves s a bit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,657 ✭✭✭somefeen


    Why is it all the women who are saying he looks grand and the men are saying he's disgusting?

    His body is getting picked apart now. Why is that? I dunno. Boards is strange sometimes.

    He tried to sell himself by putting up a body photo.

    I'm not sure who'd be buying based on that photo.


  • Registered Users Posts: 614 ✭✭✭notsoyoungwan


    I think his body is fine- it certainly wouldn’t put me off.
    I’m not at all attracted to very muscular types.

    I'd say plenty. There's nothing wrong with his body.

    Maybe I'm too fussy (or lucky in life) so.

    I agree with the people who think he's not in great shape for 42.

    Not into mad muscles myself, but he looks like poor muscle tone.

    I'd say at least a few of them are trying to imply they're in incredible shape by taking this guy apart.

    He looks fine to me. Not a perfect specimen like the people calling him disgusting of course, but fine.

    I think Instagram and gym posting culture has skewed what we think is acceptable!

    Remember, gym goers are the new and not the norm.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,070 ✭✭✭✭pq0n1ct4ve8zf5


    It's just not a body that'd turn heads either way like. Completely unremarkable grand male body with nothing wrong with it.

    Stop body shaming the guy! He's enough fires to be putting out at the minute without that I'd say...

    It's not about acceptable.

    He's s selling himself based on that photo and to me that's odd.

    The photo is posed as if "this is a great offer ladies, look at this' but it's actually not a great offer.

    This post is odd! What's he supposed to sell himself with considering what he was offering?! Someone else's body? That YOU, DO find attractive?!

    Plenty of others have said his body is fine and wouldn't put them off, you've even thanked a post about not body shaming him.. yet you keep banging on about his 'fitness', or lack thereof.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 867 ✭✭✭Icemancometh


    Not seeing much slutshaming here. Perhaps the thread title should be changed to "body shaming men is fine but don't dare do it to a woman."

    Ditto. And I don't believe for a second that a new mother wouldn't get the same reaction. Yep there are gender diffs as far as stuff like this goes, but IMHO this isn't one of them. And women are more likely to get "body shamed". Hell women's magazines and advertising does it on a daily basis.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
