Something i have wondered....

Jules

and would like your opinion on.

I have not been around boards for years and years, well a year and a bit, and in my time here i have noticed one thing. Why is it that most of the girls who start to post on boardshave to makes them selves seem like raging under sexed overly hormonal sluts.

I have been guilty of acting flirtatious in my first little while on boards but then i coped onto myself and slapped myself upside the head. And began posting as myself.

I guess what im trying to say is why do the majority of girls on boards think they need to act like twats to get noticed?

And what do you guys really think of girls who post in such a way.?

Nevyn

Pighead

Don't really think much of them to be honest. They're fine for virtual one night stands or a cyber quickie but theres no way Pighead would have a virtually settle down with any of the "Look at my titties" brigade. Maybe Pigheads just too much of a traditionalist.

Beruthiel

Airheads. Attention seeking airheads with nothing even remotely intelligent to say.

WindSock

Yeah, but you get that in real life too. Little pain in the hole ugg boot brigade that have suddenly realised that their femininity will get them on side with the boys.
Ah well. I suppose they are teenagers and that's what they do.
Back in my day, we were well behaved and weren't allowed to talk about boys...

Kids these days, eh

Yeah but to be honest the blokes on here do it too completely so much so you would swear they are all virgins on heat ...or maybe they are.:D

Its a forum , it's a bit of fun ...Not much thought has to given to post here except follow the rules and chip in your two cents.
By all means seemingly being of a lower IQ because you don't post about subjects iof substance does not an idiot make in most cases.

Slow Motion

People flirt in real life, people flirt on boards, as long as it doesn't go too far (and posters will usually be told to get a room by others) it's just a bit of fun. I would be more upset by ignorant/stupid/trolling posting, yes you should think before you post, some do, some don't, and while your post OP was aimed at women, I think it applies equally to both sexes !

Jesus that was a bit of a rant! Bit of a stiff upper lip have we Jules?

TequilaMockingBird

For me its the equivalant of nails scrapeing down a blackboard.

But saying that, I think its just an age thing. I was pretty daft when I was at that age.

WindSock

Rant or not, please try to stay on topic, chessplayer.

Sometimes when girls or boys get bored they go a little over bord...

Rhiannon14

There's a reason for PM's, save the flirting for there.

Peared

Theres nothing wrong with being a bit flirty, most people have that side to their personality in real life. But I have to say I cringe when I see girls who base their whole identity (online or otherwise) on something like... I dunno, having boobs say. Or acting "available". Its kinda needy, especially online, and imo comes from girls who value attention from men more than anything else.

We all have the same body parts and we are all capable of doing the same things wth them. Feeling the need to advertise that is a tad sad, and as Beruthial (I think twas her) said, indicative of having nothing else to say.

Jules

My post was not directed at girls alone, wanted to see what both sides think of the situation, and as for the age thing its not just teenagers. I know women of all ages to act like complete twats on boards. And its not the harmless flirting that is annoying its the, yes i must post something that is sexually oriented every time or else the boys wont like me!!!!

Personally i find it insulting and just makes them out to be desperate.

Silverfish

I think Peared put it best


I just find it annoying, in real life as well as the internet.

I mostly find girls who fill their sentences with innuendos and flirting get responses.... but not the kind they're seeking. They want attention, and get it, but the type they get doesn't solve the problem that causes them to seek it, so it goes on....and on... and on. And eventually, they wonder why they've no female friends left, really.

I could post my long and rambling psychological report on this, but you'd all fall asleep with your faces against the monitor

Maybe not:)

This drives me mad too... I have one friend who was really bad, and I just thought it was so undignified, but then I'm really reserved with guys normally.

The only person who gets any innuendo from me is my OH.

Not at all, type away if you like. This is the place for it

There are a few girls/women here on boards who are sound out. They dont act like slags, or try to hump everything with a cock. unlike certain members of this place. But the sound ones are few and far between, im happy to say i am friends with a few of the sounds ones in real life. And even socialise with them. But i have seen the "other" type of woman/girls on here out and about and i just avoid them.

I dunno what it is with them. 99% of them i wouldnt get up on them to get over a wall. So they arnt even attractive, but they act like they are stunning. What giefs with that loike ?

Granted, and this is the one and only time you will ever see me type this.... But CSG has a point, there are blokes on here that act like dogs in heat.

Now, post moar desu plz !

Latchy

I think if i can put my 10p (s) worth ,as sombody said it's only words on a forum and not throughly a reflection of the person , as in real life.
On another forum similar to this, there were people flirting big time on the threads and all good fun, but it was in the pms that people tend to reveil and tell more about themselfs as i am sure we all know .
The golden rule i think with posting about any subject/thing is to have ones head in gear before posting .Not having enough time to elaborate doesnt help .

Quote Anti -Granted, and this is the one and only time you will ever see me type this.... But CSG has a point, there are blokes on here that act like dogs in heat.

I thought i was the only one to notice, i am sure you have looked in personell threads and and seen some guy/gals act out fantasys as in ' i am not trolling ' .

I'm new enough to the boards so I haven't really seen evidence of this, but think it's probably a bit harsh to say that most of them are slags. What's this about them all being bet-down? I would have thought that the boards reflects a fairly broad spectrum of people...mingers and stunners alike...and everyone else in between!

Jules

Like you said you are fairly new to boards, have a look around, go to some beers, and then have an opinion.

LadyJ

I think most people calm down in time. I've met some women at the boards beers and my opinions about them completely changed tbh.

The Chessplayer

When you say boards beers - if you mean the thread where they all just keep on saying "i'll have a pint please tanya" then i think that's just bored people passing the time. Harmless

Eh...no. We all meet up and go drinking sometimes. The boards community that is.

I have never noticed this place before is this womens forum?

I find a severe lack of women on boards, nevermind sluts.

What kind of behavior are you refering to OP?

@ Moonbaby, Have you read the entire thread. As if you have i think its pretty self explanatory as to the kinda of behaviour. And im not gonna post examples, cuz it would jsut be bad form.

Ok I see a post about a boards.ie singing contest, a youtube party and a session in galway and something about a hamster. Am I missing something here? Not taking the p!ss - just not really sure what you're on about.

Yes I have and just reread it.
I still can't see where you are coming from. Unless it is happening somewhere I don't bother going, like the lair of the beer bellies. I definitely don't think most female posters are attention seekers.
Females are just as interested in talking about sex, I don't find anything unladylike or attention seeking about partcipating in that kind of conversation.
If this was a female only board conversation would be dominated by sexual content. If anything I think there is less because of the presence of men.
Your right that it wouldn't be fair to give specific details. I thought you might construct a typical scenario, or point me in the direction of where you noticed this.

I think you're missing the point. Its not EVERY female poster, or forum specific, it's mostly 'New Female User' specific. Lots of smilies and flirty comments in every post, and dragging threads off topic to reply to every male comment. They also make it VERY VERY clear by username or in posts that they're female.

There's plenty of female posters that no-one knows the sex of, because they don't feel the need to start off every post with 'Well, I'm a girl and I think....'

Jules

There are female only boards and they are not dominated by sexual conersation. There is more to life.

And have you wanered over to the cuckoos nest. There are a number of fora in which this happens. If you have not seen the majority of posts on this thread have agreed with the original statement so im obviously not the only one who sees it.

How about you enlighten us and answer the question your self? Why did you act like that?

The Chessplayer

I'd say we are talking about the vapid Hello-magazine contingent. Customer care workers in massive call centres in outer Dublin. The sort who go to naff trendy bars like D2, Dicey Reilly's, Rogue etc, people whose very existence is defined by the amount of sh!te they talk on their bebo sites. :rolleyes:

Jules

Cuz i didn't know any better and tbh when i first posted on boards i lived in one certain forum and its kinda standard in there. Didn't see the wider picture. I also had some nice boardsies point me in the right direction and took their advice. Plus i was not as bad as some here. And also i coped onto myself and it seems some just don't, and continue to post like desperate bitches in heat.

What do you think?

I have to say I havent noticed it that much. Its not that prevalent

Users always assumed I was male until I stuck that wee girly avatar thingy on to my username a couple of weeks ago.

Just because you personally haven't noticed it doesn't mean it isn't. It's prevalent enough to have a Gathering card made for it, and that normally takes some doing.

The going of topic is the most common form of crime on forums , the mods on one gave up telling people because they just continued to do so regardless ,and now theose mods are hardly to be seen at all now.

Whats a 'gathering card'?

When I said its not that prevalent, I meant to imply 'imo'.... Its just not something I've really noticed.

I'm not pretending to be the boards fountain of knowledge or anything.

Dont want to veer too much off topic, but whats the point of gathering cards?

I have noticed it a bit, but I suppose I stick to very few forums where it wouldnt really be that common. I dont really go into 'after hours' much, and theres limited scope for flirting in 'animals and pet issues' (at least there should be )

Down with this sort of thing Jules. I won't have it. The Chessplayer will not stand idly by and allow Ireland to sink to this depravity.

Allow me, if I may, Jules, to quote Eamon De Valera. If he was alive today, and a moderator on the boards, I'm sure he would have been dishing out the bannings with a rabid fervour unprecedented on boards.ie.

That Ireland which we dreamed of.....would be joyous with the sounds of industry, the romping of young children, the contests of athletic youths and the laughter of comely maidens... It would be a home of a people living the life that God desires that man should live.

EEHh Dev anti long limbed shenanigans never.

I've check out as much of Cuckoo's Nest as I can bear and I see what you mean. But the lads seem just as bad.

Maybe dominate is too strong a word, but the Irish and English female boards that I have seen, focus very much on relationships, sex and sexual health.

I am not sure what to make of your reply. "Cuz you didn't know any better" Well maybe it is the same for them? Or is that a concept that is beyond your new found elevation above it all? Maybe you should be a nice boardsie and give them pointers?

Perhaps they to will "cop on to themselves"

Quite frankly the answer is you are all young. Kinda simple really. Applies off boards.ie and in the real world funnily enough.

These days, in these modern times, childhood last a lot longer than it did years gone by.

The answer to your original post is not really that difficult.

Yes going off topic is not tolerated... so don't do it.


TBH David i think your wrong, childhood doesn't last longer it is much shorter. Kids are forced to grow up too quickly these days. And its not a new found elevation, as you so put it, i coped on fairly quickly, after listening to advise given to me. The majority don't want to listen. And are happy enough skipping along in their airhead existance.

But none of this takes away from the fact that i find it degrading and makes me kinda feel sorry for them. I'm sure they have a lot more to offer but they feel they have to act in this way.

I like when people persue interesting off topic veins that come up in threads.
Over moderation gets on my wig.

Jules

Start a new thread if you want to persue some other topic. Threads going off topic gets on my wig.

childhood lasting longer. no
immaturity lasting longer, most definitly


and, /me puts on her acting voice+face

[acting]omgz like the internets is all boys, there are no girls on the internets but im a girl really i am and i have boobz, BIG BOOBZ, and like coz there's no other girls on the internets and therez only boyz and like ye're all anoraks and losers who'll never get a gurl i'll be your girl i suppose if you love GIANT BOOBZ and you'll give me all the attention i want coz im a GIRL and i have BOOBZ omgz lets go get locked

Why thank you Silverfish

And at the risk of starting a mutual appreciation society I have to say I very much agree with what you said about these girls ending up with no girlfriends. But you know, that doesnt bother them cos other girls are just "jealous" and sure if men are looking at them its happy days.

I can understand (kinda) this behaviour in real life but not really online unless you're planning on following it up. Hmm its nearly enough to make me wanna turn up at Boards Beers. My god what a people watching opportunity. Like my anonymity too much tho.

*wanders off to buy disguise, camera and notebook*

but they can follow up on it. there's beers and other ways to communitate outside of the board, liket he dreaded bebo
