If a man wants a woman......

Don't know about anyone else but must admit I'm feeling a bit nervous to say anything...


How about all my sisters in law - 6 of them - are over 40, heck they are mostly over 45, and they are, to a woman, really gorgeous. A group photo of them is Cosmo levels of cuteness. Have no idea where this falling off a cliff after 30 came from? A certain percentage of people pre 30 are really good looking, a certain percentage of people after 30 are really attractive, both sexes, pre 30 people have some advantage in youth but it's not like they are champions of the game of life to be fresh and pretty pre 30. The champions start emerging post 30 when people get the face that reflects their life and personality and the amount of kicks in the arse life saw fit to dole out.

Definitely agree about the post thirty thing. I'm 35 and how some people have aged since school is scary!

Great of the auld ego when you see someone you went to school with and time hasn't been good to them. Makes ya appreciate that you are aging gracefully.

Eh, yes it really is and it's also how she's saying it. Going off the deepend calling lads creeps and mysoginists while showing nay an ounce of class in her own posts. Comes across as quite the misandrist herself in the posts so far.

I just meant in relation to this post which you quoted:

"How many 39-year-olds are as hot as a fit 23-year-old? How many have the same stamina in bed? How many are going to want the same life experiences as a 23-year-old? You'd have to offer something pretty damn special to make up for being so old."

That exact thing gets said to women here constantly.

I’d prefer flirty back-and-forth ribbing to the direct approach myself. It’s much more fun and I’d have to disagree that it’s not a transparent way of expressing interest. I think it’s pretty easy to decipher when the person who is slagging you is interested or not. Body language and eye contact give it away. I think I was always able to pick up when a guy would be slagging me in just a friendly way and wasn’t interested in me in a sexual or romantic way. There are so many tells.

Some girls flirt all the time with everyone or give that appearance. Some appear not to flirt at at all. Some flirt so they can make fun of the guy when he asks her out. Have seen it all.

There was some study I read where they showed groups of people a man and a woman on a date and men and women both could tell if the guy liked the girl but neither sex could tell if the girl liked the guy.

Regarding the PUA stuff. I read a few books on the subject and picked up a few tips here and there. One doesn't need to dive in and start running pre scripted routines. Now being a tall sexy fukcer was a bigger help!

Can you explain how women have it better?

I already replied to this by my comment seems to have disappeared. How odd...

Anyway, let's try again

Women are celebrated merely for the gender and yet they are oppressed

Women have all the rights men do in Ireland, yet they are oppressed

Women will never be expected to do the ****ty dangerous jobs that men do to keep society functioning. In fact we will soon have gender quotas for women, but only in well paid jobs like in academia

Women are paid the same as men yet we are constantly hammered with fake wage gap propaganda

And on and on.

I'm not saying women don't have their issues in society, but really, how can anyone say with a straight face that women are oppressed or mistreated in Ireland, or any first world nation.

A certain cohort of men positively salivate at the idea of women's declining fertility and take an almost sexual pleasure from smugly inferring it means her value, worth, attractiveness and romantic options decline too. Because they knew this woman this one time and then there's Tina who was hot in secondary school and now is not haha and something about cats, and other such well-informed, well researched arguments.

Usually the type who've been brewing misogynistic ideas about women for decades (because Tina rejected them in Junior Cert and their luck has been about the same ever since) and now is their chance to get away with saying all these things aloud because BIOLOGY LOL.

Ted, don't post in this thread again.

Folks, stay on topic and don't ignore mod instructions. Ted was told about not to be bringing the thread off on a tangent. Don't make the same mistake please.

Yes. Another favourite is the idea that any woman who is single after 30 has rejected every man who has ever approached her because she thinks she's too good for them all. No recognition of the fact that relationships break down and plenty of people end up single after years-long relationships in their thirties and often through no fault of their own. In fact, it can often be as a result of loyalty and clinging on to long rather than moving on and dating around. I know quite a few women who stayed with men who weren't treating them well out of a sense of loyalty, only to get dumped in the end anyway.

If you have such a poor view of women in general why would you want to be with one in a relationship? I'm going to guess regular sex but part from that? I work in a male dominated industry and I can assure you I don't receive any plaudits merely for being female. If anything you need to work twice as hard to be heard, I've had male (mostly junior) colleagues speak over me at meetings, as if I wasn't there. A female colleague has had men refuse to work with her because she is a woman. This isn't unusual, when I canvassed friends on it recently they all had similar stories to tell. But you know what, none of us complain, we put our heads down and get on with it. This idea that women are unquestionably celebrated on the basis of gender is wholly misguided. Oppression? No. But varying levels of unequal treatment, particularly in the workplace, yes.

Yeah, it’s all so strange. I used to hang out with a girl that would prefer to hang out with lots of guys, she also had a lot of female friends, but she preferred a large male presence. She would occasionally kind of flirt with more than one guy at once and after a couple of weeks she would easily be able to control them, almost on a string. They would almost race one another to her table on a night out, or they would always offer her a drink, or a lift home and so on… She ended up with about 10 close guy friends, never hooked up with any of them, my rough estimate is that 8 out of the 10 had a serious crush on her and she did almost everything to keep things in the friend zone, sometimes even border line flirting, but never anything official. She kept this up for years, without fail, she loved the attention so much, she had very little interest in how the other guys were feeling. She must have saved thousands upon thousands of Euro over the years on taxis, drinks at the bar, dinners and so on.....I can only imagine what she's up now? There's a piece of me thats hoping that she are out of her bad habits and settled down and had kids.
