Girlie or Not???

ravenhead

This is one for you guys out there .......

When it comes to going out with a girl, what do the majority of you like, The girlie girl who acts girlie, dresses girlie & generally is quite feminine.
What about girls that aren't like that, ones that like their sports & drink & like to hang out with your friends as much as their own????

What I guess I'm asking is ... are most of you still going on girlie looks rather than personality???

Sarky

A girl who acts like themselves.

Everything else is just false.

So does that mean that you wouldn't have a problem bringing your girlfriend on the piss with the lads?

Sarky

Not in the least. She provides at least half the lewd jokes...

Sounds like me kind of girl!!! But seriously, why is it that a lot of guys are still looking for these trophy g/f's?? It just baffles me

Sarky

People are idiots. Is it really that surprising?

Coney Island

A woman who is a woman, and knows how to behave.......both looks and personality are important.

Woud I date a good looking girl with no personality? No way!
Would I date a very intelligent but bad looking girl? Noooo!

Women who get pissed do not attract me in the least, and this narrows my choice tremendously here in Ireland...this is why I mainly go for foreign ladies....

True very true .......

I see friends of mine at the weekends getting ready to go out & they are all dressing to pull guys, Looking completely different from what they would normally look like .. not that there is anything wrong with that, but i honestly believe to get a guy that is interested in you & not just that part of you, you shouldn't have to carry on like that.

When I dress up going out - it's for me ...

But not all irsih girls drink til they can't stand up! But I do know what you mean .. there is nothing as bad as seeing a girl with a pint in her hand!! ... I'm sorry girls but NO, NO - PLEASE NO....

Sarky

It's cheaper than two half pints. Good fiscal practice, that. Not that I'm advocating female piss-heads. There are more than enough males staggering about and throwing up outside Supermacs, thanks.

Identikit females for identikit males. It's a simple congress of insipid Topshop/River Island clad clones.

I long for pint drinking ladies. It proves they can drink adult booze as opposed to something sickly sweet.

Unpossible

I like women who are into sports (helps keep the weight down), especially the same sports as me or extreeme sports, but then I won't break up with someone because they are not into sport (current g/f). Its important for a woman to be feminine,don't dress in mens clothes (a t-shirt & jeans is ok as long as their in a female style). Don't be a barbie girl either, its too fake/high maintainance.

So in short be casual, clean and easily distingusable (sp?) from men.

simu

It's possible to enjoy a few pints without ending up in the A&E ward, you know. Plus, they're usually the chepaest drinks to buy. Up pints!

As for the girly thing, I think it's really stupid. It encourages women to act like bimbos. Some guys do like that but they tend to be the less intelligent type of guy in my experience.

Just be yourself!

Little bit judgmental there aren't ya? I like to drink both pints and "something sickly sweet". I drink them because I enjoy them and there's certainly nothing less "adult" about it. Of course there's a certain irony about judging someone's maturity based on their drinking habits...

Call me old fashioned, but I like my alcohol to taste like alcohol, as opposed to Mr Freeze or Lucozade "gives top athletes 33% more diabetes" Sport...

Well being a bud drinker myself - I know what you mean - they can be sickening but I have to say that I prefer to see girls with an alcopop in their hands than a pint!

The guys worth knowing stay at home most evenings.
Go around knocking on doors instead of to the pub.

Actually, I'm usually at a friends house playing games of some sort. Although I do spend a lot of time drinking free coffee in the pub these days.

I can't think of anything less romantic than,

"Well Son, I was standing with some friends just to the side of the bar when your mother walked by and I thought to myself, 'Now there's a woman who knows how to hold a pint!'."

Yeah but who looks at the drink a person's holding first?

The whole "women shouldn't drink pints" thing strikes me as being very 1950s - let people drink whatever they want. If you're changing yourself to fit in with what you believe to be the expectations of others, you'll never be happy.

Sleepy

Personally, I just want a woman with class. I have to admit, I prefer to see a girl drinking bottles/glasses as opposed to pints but in this country that just makes no sense whatsoever. Alcopops really are just for kids. If you must have sweet drinks have a screwdriver/manhatten/bacardi and coke whatever.

I can't stand the new breed of dizzy, "I wanna marry a rich man", peroxide blonde, fake tanned, burberry/flavour of the month wearing, britney-speers-wannabe spanners that pass for Irish women. Yet, tbh, I'm not into the whole goth look either. So, until Kiera Knightly or Natalie Portman drop by, I think I'll be single for a while longer, unless some gorgeous, classy, intelligent, funny but warped enough to laugh at my jokes, soulful, cute, sensual, kind and sincere girl out there wants to prove me wrong about their existence in Ireland? :dunno:

No, I thought not

and btw, ravenhead, Budweiser is a very poor imitation of a beer... :P

All the same I'd hate if my story was even remotely like that or if my parents story was.
As it stands, my significant other and I met rehearsing for King Lear.

The point isn't the drink, it's the fact that the story took place in the bar.

It's the Irish 'Drink Culture' that I despise.

Christ no, Guiness, Carlsberg or if it's available a good Heffe WeisBier.

Which, oddly enough, was probably at least part heiniken by-product.

I agree with you there sleepy.

Most girls, but graciously not all, in Ireland these days look and act like ejits.

I think they act like ejits cause of the stuff they wear. The more you bare the more you dare. Attitude change with

Seriously, River Island and Oasis are the breeding ground for these gals.

Usually with bellies hanging out.

Flipflops with turned up jeans. Fake nails. Fake streaky brown blond hair, usually tied up in a bun, fake tan (usually just on the calf of the leg-no higher!). Fake ugly plastic looking jewellry, colourful belts.

Do they not realise they all look the same?

Fake fake fake

Be yourself, not something fake.

Sarky

That's what I was trying to get at. Good first impressions are all very well, but when the entire first impression is based on someone basically wearing a big mask to cover something, whether it be a lack of depth, or BO, it becomes useless.

Stop trying to attract people with what are essentially lies.

I completely agree with you ... that's why I never shop in places like that - I would hate to go out for a nite & have nearly everyone in the pub looking the same as me -- no way I hate that... Thank god i'm dark at least that one other thing that's different!! Highlights go away!!

embee

I used to drink pints, but they fill you up too much (I used to drink pints of Guinness).

I have since moved onto drinking gin....

A lot of my female friends drink those poxy alcopops and they get raging hangovers the next day, whereas I drink gin and I am usually hangover free. All the sugar in those goddamn alcopops.... yuck.

Why is it a turn off for a woman to drink pints though?

Sarky

Is it?

Why didn't anybody tell me these things?

Honey, it's not you, it's your preferred drink size...

It's not exactly a turn-off, it was just considered un-ladylike by generations before us. In fairness, a pint glass is hardly the most feminine of accesories.

Not all men find it a turn off but speaking from a girls point of view - it really doesn't look well. you go to all the trouble of getting dressed up & then spoil it by having this massive pint in your hand!!
