Are you a practice boy ?

    For the sake of definition. A Practice Boy,, is a boy that a young woman, who is shy of men and inexperienced, uses to build and develop Technique without becoming overly attached, and in a comfortable position to discard when a "proper man" comes along.

    Being in relationship is a skill that takes time in developing. All sensible young women could do with operating on the practice thing,, instead of making a hash of it when the real thing comes along.

    Top ten indicators to tell if you're a Practice boy.

    1. You wear femmine clothing -- (all the time) Pastel colours and what ever she says brings out the colour of your eyes and what she has approved of when she has brougth you shopping.

    2. You're always one of the girls. Knowing what they drink and always going to the bar for her and all her friends and pretending to be more sensative then you are (but you are sensative) -- This is a ruse to lower the defenses of young women, who are nervous of men who are too masculine.

    3. You have the shape of a long streak of misery ,,, and don't really mind. Your lack of muscles would make Charles Atlas weep.

    4. When you try hair products ,,, you look like a sonic the hedgehog which is at least better then the lank locks of Servus Snape.

    5. The last time you wore overalls it was a fancy dress party when you were a kid.

    6. You have a funny walk.

    7. You can't tell the difference between cologne and toilet duck.

    8. You try and talk like a 19 year old hello magazine fan,,, but come off sounding like a 13 year old gay boy, trying to pretend he's 15 and trying to curry favour by being more bitchy then the girls.

    9. You have a mustache , or at least you think you but lets face it a the breeze generated by a passing ford transit van doing 30 miles an hour would whisk it off your spotty upper lip.

    10. You'd let a 19 year old WAG wannabe perform uncomfortable and joyless social acts on you, listening to all her troubles, carrying her shopping bags, accompanying her anywhere she wants to go while never getting more then a hug and a peck on the cheek. (It's not her fault -- she's just young, saving her self for a real man and needs some practice).

    Are you a Practice Boy?

    Some say imitation is a form of flattery, others might say it's a sign of
    poor imagination or female pettiness.

    You'll find a lot of them in the metrosexual forum. It used to be BGRH but the regular posters have become so pussy whipped to the 3 or 4 females (by nature only) who post there that it's no longer funny as they just talk about fashion and their feelings and any attempt to start a funny tread is locked straight away (usually by their new female (one wonders) moderator whom they all seem to find hillarious even though she never says anything funny).

    And Zaph has become a moderator of the ladies lounge - oh what a falling off there was.

    BGRH is nothing more than a parody of itself now, or a place where the same 6 or 8 regular posters still left try to score each other or bitch about their feelings.

    Attempts to start threads in the classical BGRH mode are locked, usually by Thaedydal, so you'll forgive me if I am not her biggest fan.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,283 ✭✭✭PrivateEye


    I know plenty of lads who've been played for fools by members of the eh...fairer sex before. Full on practice boyos. To be honest I show women (and people in general) a lot of respect and expect not to be treated like a fool myself either. Several of my female mates would ask me for advice on stuff often enough, because they know I'll give them an honest no rubbish answer. I don't 'listen to all their troubles' but I suppose they think I'd just even listen, often enough. I'd do the same for Johnny as Jenny if ya dig. I presume they're all smart enough not to think I'm looking for anything!

    To be honest if you become a 'practice boy' or a 'practice girl' thats as much your fault as the people playing with ya. I wouldn't get involved with somebody (even as a mate, never mind anything else!) if I thought
    they'd 'discard me' when the oppurtunity arose. If you do become some kind of 'practice boy' or 'girl' or whatever else, the blame rests with yourself.
