    Wouldn't usually be bothered starting a thread I usually just wade in with stupid comments on other peoples threads but this led on from another thread about nice things about Irish girls.
    Irish women are obsessed with money and property and material sh!te!!
    I think the problem comes from the consumer propaganda that's on the TV every fu*king night of the week..used to be a time not to long ago when you only had to dread the TV a couple of nights a week...now ya cant watch it before 10 so I stopped altogether...from the 2 most annoying people in the world tyranny and Susanna (what purpose do they serve?) to fu*kin fixing up your gaff to desperate house wives to all the other b*ll*x soaps on every night for 2 hours!!!loads of advertising time....the reason these programmes are on TV is because marketing people( more useless c*nts) no that women drive the consumer market cos their obsessed with material goods and money

    rant over.....

    Why dont you just start an "I hate women thread"??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 463 ✭✭hawkmoon269


    Why single out women?? If you said Irish PEOPLE are obsessed with possessions etc you might have a point.

    Toffeeapple you're not like the Murphy's.

    You are bithur.:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31 MadamLucy


    yes Kiera yawn is right I know toffee is just trying to get a rise off one of us young ladies but I suppose some men find successful ambitious and career driven women a treat to their manhood and would prefer his woman stuck in the kitchen but sorry pal women nowadays know what they want and they certainly don’t need a man to help them out! Fair play to anyone who wants to own her own home, have a successful career so that she may buy whatever possession she desires! I’d much rather look up to a woman like that than one who realise on a man wages to give her the things she needs in life!

    Because you arent even taking any of our points into consideration.
    You just started a thread with the sole design to flame the shi.t out of women.

    Look. I can nearly see your point about wanting to keep life simple at your age, just live life to the max. Dont you think all of us want to do that?

    Yea, that or get laid, so seem very bitter today!!!

    Women get slated when they say 'all men as b@st@rds' etc, (& rightly so) so please don't tar us all with being obsessed with money. Everyone's different, same with men, some are sh!ts, some are not.

    Also, the other thread was what's nice about Irish women, or something like that, & all we got was abuse.
    Not every Irish woman is overweight, has terrible skin, hay for hair, an oompa loompa, drinks like a fish, so give over.

    If we're SO bad, why do so many of ye have Irsh girlfriends / wives who you absolutely love & adore.

    Enough already.
    Irish men are not perfect either, but we still love them & all their flaws, just give over, these threads are getting boring!

    Eh...this thread was about money not how fat you all are..and i do have a girl who loves me ta very much( why i dont know....)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,730 ✭✭✭✭simu


    Ah sure, it's tough being an Irish woman trying to save a few pennies when the bf is off sweating and sending every penny he earns off to the starving children in Calcutta/Africa/elsewhere and then always catching the flu after giving the shirt off his back to the homeless in the street and always strong in his belief that potatoes grow on trees and all you need in life to stay healthy is a cup of tea, once a year, after Lent.

    Meanwhile, back in reality...

    /goes off to make forum suggestion: whinging forum for bitter misogynistic Irish male boards users who couldn't score in a brothel.

    You forgot to mention that all Irish girls are whores too or will that be your next thread?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,325 ✭✭✭b3t4


    Maybe some women are more "obssessed" as you like to put it as they are being paid less than their male colleagues.

    http://breakingnews.iol.ie/news/story.asp?j=169828300&p=y698z9xx6

    Quote from www.esri.ie
    Degrees of Equality: Gender Pay Differentials Among Recent Graduates - this survey shows that women graduates three years after leaving college are earning 11% less than men but as they work fewer hours than male graduates there is no overall hourly pay gap. The public sector attracted 41% of female graduates compared to only 26% of males. In the private sector men are more likely than women to receive bonuses and the bonuses they receive are larger.

    I, like a few other women on here, am sick and tired of seeing such threads on boards.ie.

    why don't you provide some reasonable debate rather than trying to make wild assumptions on my character....who said anything about whores?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,130 ✭✭✭✭Kiera


    Relax!

    No one did! I was just reminding you that you forgot to mention it.

    Just giving you hints for your next thread!

    Well, maybe you should try to come up with a more convincing argument than your claims that Trinny and Susannah and Desperate Housewives are responsible for materialism in Ireland and that this materialism is only to be seen in women. Go on, you can do it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    Is this the same guy who thought Women drivers should be tested more often then men or something equally if not more sexist?

    And no, Irish women are not obsessed with money. I love money and I'd love more of it like any normal person would but I wouldn't see any decisive basis to prove Irish Male or females are obsessed with it. I'm male by the way, that made me sound somewhat feminine with the phrasing but anyway...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,724 ✭✭✭BoozyBabe


    Is I said Toffeapple:- "in the other thread"!!

    My comment was about the spate of negative comments about irish women threads that have popped up lately that I think are uncall for.

    I just don't like generalisations when we all differ SO much.

    I for one am not obsessed in any way by material things, but I do intend on being able to provide for myself instead of expecting my bf to be the one to provide the house etc, therefore I'm setting some money aside for my future.

    If that makes me money obsessed, so be it.

    Next you'll have a thread about women expecting men to pay for all!!!!!!
    We just can't win

    would you disagree that prime time TV is geared towards women?
    I dont think you will find many blokes who think 2 hours of soaps and shows about, what you eat what you wear what to buy for your house etc etc very entertaining do you?

    when i was a kid, around 10, there was this real cute girl in my estate, who i wanted to be my gf, unfortunatly my friend at the time, had the same idea.

    when we told her, she wanted to know how our finances were.

    i won her over with a toy watch, and 2 elastic bands.

    think my mate only had a button or some crap.

    true story.

    it didn't work out by the way.

    Strange you say that. My friend never goes out with Irish girls because of that and the mind games etc

    I guess its not fair to suggest they are all that way.

    Alot of Irishwomen are obsessed with materialistic bull that men don't necessarily like or have any interest in.

    The women's stuff gets more exposure on the ****producingbox we know as the tv - but so what?

    These are the great lessons of life we can learn from boards.ie after hours (work time-wasting)section


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,724 ✭✭✭BoozyBabe


    But again Toffeapple, not all women are the same, so stop implying that we are.

    I don't watch any soaps, hate Trinny & Suzannah & all that sh!te, I do watch the Jillian McKeith thing sometimes, but only to see how grose some people are, don't watch any of that singing / dancing cr@p, big brother, love island, jungle rubbish that 'SOME' girls are into.
    I don't buy girlie mags, don't have 200 pairs of shoes with matching handbags, 10 wardrobes of clothes, 3 chest of drawers of makeup, the list goes on & on & on, but I can assure you I'm all woman.
    I watch F1 religiously & go to them when I can afford to, rallying, love hurling, snooker, darts etc, etc, etc

    One size definitely DOESN'T fit all, so it p!sses me off when you contiune to assume (from what I can imagine is your VERY limited experience) that it does


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,029 ✭✭✭um7y1h83ge06nx


    I don't mind the women who work hard, get educated, get a good career etc. and spend money. Fair play to them I say, if you work hard at something you deserve to reap the rewards.

    It's the lazy so and so's that like to spend their partner's money while contributing nothing themselves financially that really annoy me.

    I'm not tarring all irish girls with same tar brush here, but some of them are complete head ****s. Its impossible to tell what they want and I think half of the time they (girls) don't know either.

    Yes, but you shouldn't because we're human, therefore all completely individual, therefore you can't generalise.

    Would it be fair to say that all Irishmen are thick as pigs sh!t & have tiny d!cks?
    No, because how could I make such a generalisation! It's impossible
