Best piece of advice I ever got ...

How do you compare to how you were yesterday?..

Because let's face it, dark skin is considered unattractive in many parts of the world. I'm not saying it's OBJECTIVELY unattractive, but SOCIALLY unattractive. In nearly every country on earth, people prefer lighter skinned individuals.

There was even a thread on boards 10 years ago about "Would you ever date a black man/woman" and it seemed that most were leaning on the no side.

I don't hate Irish people for it though, cause people can't help what they like. But that means that if I want to increase my chances of appearing attractive, I need to lighten my skin.

I don't know where you get that from, why is tanning so popular ?
most people prefer a nice tanned brown colour than typical milk white Irish skin


~Who is more attractive
Idris Ilba or Steven Merchant ?


Checkmate!!!

Come on now, it means yourself in the past, in other words don't waste time peering at others when there will always be people better off or worse off than you - look at yourself and how you are improving, if you are that's all that matters.

Not really. People just call it begrudgery because they have a high horse to ride around upon. When people say they can't stand Bono, people like you come out and start screaming "Bet you wish you had his money, blah blah, you're just a bregrudger jealous of his bank account."


It's possible to loathe someone rich and adore an equally rich person. I effing hate Madonna and she's minted. I couldn't give a toss how much she's worth. My disdain for the narcisstic cow has nothing to do with her money. I love Enya and she's loaded too.


I don't begrudge anyone's success anymore than I laugh at anyone's misfortune. People who shout "begrudgery" are usually the kind of people who also engage in victim blaming or insisting that all poor people are poor because they are lazy, ignorant good-for-nothings.


Is it begrudgery to hold someone rich in low esteem if they acquired their wealth through nefarious, illegal means or through cronyism and cute-hoorism?



Take a look at Cristiano Ronaldo. He's one of the most gifted football players in history. Looks wise the man is near perfect. He's dynastically rich. I should be jealous of such a specimen but I'm not. He's an enigma. He's a gentleman and all round beautiful soul.



Then look at others who are as wealthy and they are just cocksuckers.

This 100%. In USA if someone is rich they're automatically some sort of genius that should be worshipped. We just aren't afraid of calling out an arséhole. Bono is the perfect example. Lots of people just think he's an arséhole. It's not because he's successful. Gerry Ryan used to think anyone who disliked him was because of begrudgery. It probably made him feel better telling himself that. Tubridy the same. Graham Norton doesn't have the same "hate" and he's more successful. Did people hate Terry Wogan? Very successful in TV and radio. No because he was a sound guy. Look at Brendan O'Carroll. There used to regularly be threads about Mrs Browns Boys, the universal opinion was "the show is not for me, but fair play to him". Because Brendan is sound and people are happy to see him doing well.
Take rich businessmen. JP McManus is loaded, but does everyone hate him? No. What about Denis O'Brien? It just so happens that one is an arséhole. I'll probably be sued for that now.
It's "begrudgery" isn't about hating the successful person, it's about calling out an arséhole.

But people who tan don't want to look like black Africans, they want to look like Southern Europeans (Spanish, Italians).

TBH, I don't think pale skin looks unattractive.

Women don't like men who go looking to find revenge porn sites.

Lowest of the low, nothing at all to do with skin colour

I don't go looking for revenge porn, I just browse various online internet boards. 4chan just happens to have loads of guys posting images of their SO.

Your other thread is asking for names of revenge porn sites(illegal).

You are hardly asking for these to campaign to have them shut down.

Then you wonder why you cant get a woman?

Tell them you browse the Irish Sluts thread on 4chan.

Great catch!

I wouldn't call it stalking but it's just that I'm jealous of how attractive, successful and posh these girls are.

Not angry, they probably worked hard and deserve it but can't help but be envious.

Maybe you’re too busy being bothered by everything and everyone else you don’t see the one thing you have control over
Maybe it’s time to start working on you

Look man, you just want to go and date one of those high-flying-achieving witches - It'll totally burst your bubble.

God. Give me strength.

Unfortunately jealousy and begrudgery is a trait that comes out in some way, shape or form in almost all Irish people. It’s ingrained in us all. Now, jealousy is a natural trait that every person in the world has in some form but begrudgery is a nasty trait that I’ve not experienced in other places that I’ve lived. In America, if you’ve a nice car you’ll more than likely be complimented on it. In Ireland, you get smart comments and people talking about you.

The CEO of a company I worked for in Dublin years ago bought himself a nice second hand Porsche. Despite being a snob he was a lovely fella and a very good man to work for but he was vilified for buying the car. All staff were well paid and well looked after under his watch but there was a manager in the company that hated him purely because he bought himself a Porsche. The car was vandalised, badly, one evening in the car park and despite it never being proved we new it was the manager who did it. No other reason for it only begrudgery. He loved making comments such as “sure it’s worth the same as any other car now” and “Alan isn’t so smug now”. That’s one particularly bad case of begrudgery that I’ve had the misfortune of witnessing.

That being said, I’m a begrudger myself but I wouldn’t wish any harm on someone or something they own. It’s an insecurity issue that I have and no matter what I have, I think someone else has something better and I yearn for it. I wouldn’t be nasty but it’s a terrible streak to have and I’m ashamed by it.
