"Making a donation doesn't bring awareness of breast cancer Yes, it helps, but no-make-up selfies are what makes people aware of the dangers. Donate a couple of euro, certainly, but to really help this wonderful cause, take a selfie and nominate someone else to do the same.
Awareness is everything."

This, from a woman in her mid-forties, who should know better.

:mad:

A woman in her mid-forties who has never felt her blood run cold as ice as she felt a dimpled lump on her breast in the shower one morning. That, and the shocking disparity in care depending on where in Ireland you live and how lucky you are in getting a bed, is the only awareness worth a tupenny fcuk.

Yes, but now when someone finds a breast lump in the shower, their first thought will be "Oh thank fcuk, there's thousands of knobs out there putting up nomakeupselfies so I've nothing to worry about! Hurrah for obscure awareness raising campaigns!"

Brian_Zeluz · 19-03-2014 9:03pm

I think a group of lads has come up with a clever way of ripping the piss out of the #nomakeup selfie. They're nominating each other to take a picture of their shoes on the wrong feet to raise awareness for #thirdworldhunger. Example: "Thanks for the nomination *Bill. Here's a pic of my killer heels on the wrong feet to raise awareness of ‪#‎thirdworldhunger‬. I nominate *Bob and *John".

Subtle and gave me a good laugh.

"Thanks to those WHO actually BOTHERED to wish my boys a happy birthday! They both had lovely days an got spoilt rotten,, see if I care"

FFS. God help your boys with a drama queen like you for a mother. They're toddlers! They don't know what Facebook IS, never mind care if someone's wished them happy birthday or not!

Seen a new one where lads are taking pictures of them wearing socks on their c*cks to raise awareness of testicular cancer.

Have seen worse pisstakes.

Regarding the "no makeup selfie" thing...

The power of Social Media is WORKING! Unprecedented amounts of small donations are being received by cancer charities across Britain and Ireland. Many of these donations are coming from young people who would never so much as consider donating to cancer research or any charity (but who love celebrities, social media and love posting selfies)....they may not be affected by cancer and they may never have thought about donating to charity.

Not only do MANY females WANT to nominate their make-up laden friends to post a "no makeup selfie" just for the fun/challenge/dare of it, but many want to show themselves off at any given opportunity too. Alright, possibly an ego thing, but so what?! If it's raising awareness and also raising funds, what on earth HARM can it cause?!

Who knows how many of the females that have already posted these selfies will have their own battles with cancer in future, or already have had!? I'm seeing all types, ages, shapes and sizes of bare-faced females on Facebook and each and everyone of them is doing a brave thing and donating to charity at the same time!

This is a MIGHTY trend! Like it or lump it!

I'll lump it with the lump in my left breast that took far too long to diagnose, and while it was all clear thank fcuk, it gave me lots of worried hours spent queuing with quietly weeping women in freezing prefabs out the back of an underfunded, dysfunctional hospital.

I'll lump it with the lump in my friend's breast that eventually killed her after she was bounced around hospital departments because she didn't fit the demographic with her vicious cancer.

What good is charity when it does not provide basic standards of public healthcare?

I'll lump it if you take your selfie daffodil tits out of my face, thanks.

Wow....The negativity! Even spreading awareness and raising money for charities helping to research an illness that killed your own friend are negative things?

OK - so donating to charities like "cancer research" and posting selfies on a social networking site has affected you, personally, in a negative way how exactly?!

Is it the whole worlds fault you've had a personal battle (or from what I read, just a little scare that turned out to be nothing but that you still want to moan about!?!) Have ANY of the women who've posted selfies actually stated that they think the healthcare system is WONDERFUL!?

The healthcare system in this country killed my mother, in an horrific manner, she died roaring so to speak because of the incompetencies you speak of.......but the imcompetence of the healthcare system is TOTALLY and absolutely nothing to do with this selfie trend....nothing! So why are you up on your soap box about it?

We've all (most) been affected by cancer in some way or other, I've been brushed with it myself (but I'm not here looking for sympathy...I'm still alive and I'm healthy and I'm grateful every day) and I've lost people to it, I've watched them fading away into nothing and then dying in wonderful hospices........my colleague sitting next to me has her wig on, it's everywhere......and just because you decide to deal with your ups and downs of life in such a negative manner, ie. turning an "up" (you actually didn't have cancer at all but just a lump..... phew!) into a "down" (moan!!!) etc..... you shouldn't cast a cold eye on those trying to be positive!!

Selfies on social media might be self-obsessed and egotistic nonsense to you, but some people are self-obsessed in a WHOLE nother way! Yuck!

RIP to your friend, sorry for your loss.

PS: My tits aren't, never were, nor never will be, in your face!!!

because "awareness" of an illness is a bitter emptiness without proper healthcare.

because we are entitled to healthcare as a right - not because of the kindness of people throwing a few bob in a tin and a picture of themselves on tinternet.

because charity is always at someone else's behest and vanity and has become an industry in its own right. fcuk that.

That is amazingly bitter. I find the whole selfie thing ridiculous but if it does have the side effect of creating revenue for well-respected charities that's a good outcome in my eyes.

Take your rage about the state of the healthcare system out on our elected representatives not on some gormless gobsh¡te taking a picture of themselves without some slap on their face.

Back on Topic (spotted on Facebook)

"Hi peps just a few words for ye all anybody thinking about moving over to lanzarote be very careful who u pick as friends because most of them are as fake as **** they use u to get what they want they go from person to person sucking the lift out them also be careful who u drink with just over two weeks ago now i was spriked with some type of drug that left me not knowing what i was doing are where i was and to make matters worse a gay little **** called matthew reid that lives on the island that u wouldnt think butter melt in his mouth is a sick little **** waits for straight men to get that out of it so he can pray on them wait for his chance as he did on me. I am not gay are have any sexual feelings towards men this little **** is nothing short of being a rapist if this had happened to a women the man would be locked by now but for some reason men afraid to tell well heres one thats if u know a person is straight and u can clearly see they in no state to do anything whats so ever u shuold leave well alone but not this sick little he seen a chance and took it and then to defend himself runs around the island telling people i came on to him even doe im straight and never in a million years would come on to a bloke full stop. But what gets me more then anything is my so call friends that ive helped over the years in lanza truely beleive this sick ****s story thinking i came on to him when i couldnt even stand it took a friend to tell me what happened as i didnt even know what happened till the next day myself ive left the island to get my head together if i can but i thought all of ye needed to know this about lanzarote and the sort of animals that are living on it be careful who u talk to are drink with."

In fairness, there WAS a fullstop at the end!!!

In fairness, bad spelling/grammar/syntax aside that does sound like a serious matter, possibly one for the police (assuming it's not made up for attention). Rape is no joke.

From what I gather, word on the grapevine is that this is completely made up for attention and/or in defense of himself (a straight guy) having a jaunt on the wild side with another gay guy.

Definitely not for facebook though!

"See if ur sister was meeting a fella for a good while and the fella started feeling her up in front of ya and tried to go off with ur sisters best friend within a hour of each other. Wat would ya do? Fill me in"

Why would anyone even post this?!

Ihatecuddles · 21-03-2014 1:09am

Dont ask why Im on a Nigerian sex therapy facebook page.

The way Some ladies dey sit down eh I tire ooo, some ladies no sabi sitdon at all, You go see as mature woman go sitdon for public come open legs like say she wan make breeze enter her inner chambers but the one wey dey vex me pass be say if You see the kind color of pants wey dem wear eh na die, e don change from white to "It was White" ... Why na? Naso I dey bank one day , this woman sat directly opposite to me come open her legs sote I see all her Tv stations free including her pant, conji nearly hold me oooo I no go lie....! Some even do it intentionally to confuse some thirsty men... Its not cool at all I must confess...

Learn to discipline yourself when You are in public, like some ladies even if dem wear the shortest skirt for this life, if You like stretch your neck You no go see anything why because she knows how to sit properly! ladies abeg learn to sit properly to avoid stories that touch ... If You know say your cloth short and You no fit sit don with your legs tightly closed kindly use handkerchief cover am and even if them take am swear for You say your legs must alway dey open at least try and wear a clean pant nobi pant wey person go see begin vomit for road!

"So I have made a conscious decision. I am done looking for anyone to date. Done with POF, OkCupid, Match.com and all other similar sites. There is just no point.

I've sent messages that are short, and some that are long. I've send detailed ones, and general "hellos". I've sent hundreds of messages over the last 2 years and have only received a rough handful of replies, and quite frankly, all it has done is lower my self confidence and my optimism in finding someone. So instead, I am doing the exact opposite.

I am declaring myself single with no plans to change it. I will not search, I will not try, and just downright I will not care. Why? Too much work, and no visible reward in far too long. And even if I do find someone, there is no guarantee that it will work out. I would have to go through that same process all over again of getting to know each other and learn about each other's good and bad sides and accepting them, and quite frankly, I don't enjoy that anymore. If the right girl comes along, great, but she is going to have to be really damn amazing, and she is going to have to be the one to try to snag me, because otherwise, I straight don't care and I am done putting forth all the heart and not getting it back."

Same guy keeps ranting on about being single/relationships:

"So sick of being single, and being looked over by the ones that I really want to be with who can't see what is right here in front of them. Why do you always have to look for "better"? Why am I not "good enough" just the way I am? /rant off"

And

"What I really want is someone who will love me for me, and not complain about things that I need to change. Someone who is dedicated and loyal, and who doesn't still look for something better. Someone who enjoys cuddling, and talking, and just adventuring together. She has to be willing to work through problems. To communicate. And also be a bit curious about the world, the universe, and what we can do to make it better. Attractiveness matters, of course, but I am more for that "cute girl next door" look. I don't go for the overly sexy strong types, or for larger girls. It's just my preference."

And:

" There is a time when the amount that someone needs to be improved or the areas which need improvement are far beyond what would make someone undesirable for dating. That's just crap. I've seen complete morons, who are abusive and jobless, who are disrespectful and immature, land gorgeous and wonderful girlfriends, yet guys like me who have all the other (and honestly, the important) traits, have to sit idly by in the friendzone because we aren't 6 foot tall with gorgeous hair and 6 pack abs."

And:

"Thing is, I don't think I need much improving to be desirable enough to be in a relationship with. I am pretty sure that I am freaking awesome just how I am. That is what is bothering me. Because I am a great person with a great heart, a great job, and a great mind... and yet, still single and second to the loser guys with less, but who are "Sexier". Eff that."

And:

"You know I was just thinking... if you have feelings for someone, go with the flow! Don't resist and friend-zone someone that you want to be with. If cuddling with that person, kissing them, having sex with them.. if that all feels good and comfortable, do it! And if it doesn't feel good and comfortable, don't try to make feelings develop that don't exist. You either feel comfortable with a person or you don't"

And:
So I got some really honest and good advice tonight from a friend who I know has my best interest in mind. As sad as it is for me to say it, and hard as it is for me to admit, there is nothing that I can ever say, do or change that will ever make her fall in love with me again since she has already fallen out of love.

Maybe she is just older, or maybe what she is attracted to has changed; the point is that she is not who she once was, and I am the same. This is what happens when you find yourself trying to get in a committed relationship with someone significantly younger than you. I guess this is my lesson learned.

My friends warned me of the possibility, and I always tried to hope for the best, but in the back of my mind I always knew it could happen this way, and so it has. Now I have to face the cold hard facts and learn to get over her. And so to all of those friends, I apologize for my ignorance.

Now I have to force my heart to let go of the dreams that I had that involved her. And since she is my best friend, and I will not stop loving her wholeheartedly, I have to help her to be as happy as she can in life, and guide her to find the right man for her, who will love her, appreciate her, and treat her the way I always did. As long as I can do that, I can still find happiness in her. I love you girl. I'm here for you, forever".
