The Madness of Women

    I am a single professional male in my 30s and I wouldn't go anywhere near a girl my own age. I focus purely on girls in their early to mid 20s.

    I would say the madness proportion in the entire human race is at its
    highest in women whose sell by date is approaching. Once it has passed,
    and they have had to accept the fact that there were no takers, they can console themselves with a houseful of cushions and a dog or a cat.

    But when they are in the stage of trying desperately to snag someone, while also doing everything they can to avoid admitting what is going on, then they are just fearsome. And then there are usually several other
    ingredients in the mix - ugliness, years of heavy drinking, years of
    desperate screwing. Etc., etc.

    Sounds like someone is having a midlife crisis and not coming to terms with it by blaming the opposite sex.

    You gotta ask yourself why, there are usually several other ingredients in the mix - ugliness, years of heavy drinking, years of desperate screwing. Etc., etc.

    Why would I be having a mid life crisis in my thirties? Women experience a crisis in their 30s - the crisis of going sharply downhill in terms of attractiveness while becoming insanely desperate to hook a man.

    Men don't have a crisis in their 30s at all. It is prime time.

    Yes.. em.. yes "Twitching Anus" , what is probably driving them all mad, is the reality that they might never get to meet you ... with your.. "itchy bum".. , but thankfully with the help of the internet, you can patronise them online.

    Perhaps a cucumber from fridge might help you with your problem... you'll know what to do.

    If everyone else is crazy ....................maybe it's YOU.

    Perhaps you should employ your username to it's full benefit and go bat for the other side, then you wouldn't have to worry bout them crazy wimmins.

    It has nothing to do with a woman loosing thier looks it is to do with the start in the decline of thier rate of fertility were as men can get someone preggers until they are in thier 60/70.

    So really get over yourself.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,181 ✭✭✭LolaDub


    A lot of men have a crisis in the 30's when they realise their lives aren't going to plan same as women. The only difference is you can blame a womans on her 'biological clock'. I know a few men that started freaking out in 30's when they realised they were nowhere near the lifes goals of careers, own homes, cars, partner, children, traveling etc

    In fairness if you're always the guy looking for the younger 'carefree' girls i'd say you look like you're having a crisis yourself. I can't count the amount of times older men have come onto me or my friends when we've just thought desperate, loser or perv.

    Why don't you try looking at yourself first and blame others second

    You come onto a message board, to a forum aptly named The ladies lounge, where most of the users in question are... female. Then decide to declare to the world that women are mad. Not in a funny or humorous manner but in a desperately sad and bitter way.

    It's quite laughable really. Wonder why you are single dude, probably some balding man trying desperately to cling onto his long gone years by buying a pair of designer sunglasses, a funky shirt and a cheesy smile. When in reality you just come off as a sad lonely little man with nothing better to do than perv on younger women, slide up to them in your greasy lil outfit, salivate for a while then finally pluck up the courage to say 'hi' in a manner that i can only imagine resembles a teenage boy who's voice is just about to break.

    Thanks for the constructive response. So, you are saying that the decline in a woman's appeal is due to her declining fertility?

    That the madness is essentially a side effect, which unfortunately also makes her less attractive to men?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Meh, I get far more male attention now at 30 than I did when I was in my early 20s. Back then, I was really baby-faced and didn't live very healthily so I looked wrecked. I also had a few extra lbs on me between 19 and 20 cuz of the pill (and yes, eating crap and too much booze!)

    Also, I'm a lot more secure in myself now than when I was under 25. So OP, maybe consider the individual woman instead of making wild generalisations... ;)

    Oh and also, maybe think for yourself instead of taking stereotypes and what the media says (y'know, the one that's trying to sell anti-ageing creams to women) as gospel... :)

    Why are you worried about this? I thought you focused purely on girls?

    That's fair enough. Leave the women to the more mature guys.

    P.S. Doesn't it suck getting old and fat? Wait until your 40s...


  • Subscribers Posts: 19,425 ✭✭✭✭Oryx


    Older women are better in bed. But youll never know this. :)

    ^ so true actually :D

    I wouldnt go back to my early twenties for anything (unless I could bring my wisdom with me :D)

    Check out PI.

    I actually thought the 'prime time', sexually for men was early 20's and for women their early 30's. :eek:

    *Sigh* I guess I'd better go open that second can of Felix!

    You sound like a good catch

    Funny, I made a passing reference to this in another post minutes before you started this thread.

    People are acting like this guy is being an asshole but he's right, girls get a bit nuts as they approach the three-oh mark. I've basically had to confine myself to girls in their early twenties because I'm not after a serious relationship. This, apparently, is completely unacceptable to women my own age.

    I can only talk from my own experience but I see it in girls I've known for years who are getting increasingly desperate for a boyfriend now that they're the wrong side of 25. And other girls who are in this massive hurry to move in and settle down with guys they wouldn't have touched 2 or 3 years ago... I guess because they're the steady, dependable option. It's hilarious watching the change in them!

    For the record I'm mid-twenties and not a perv :pac: Just not after a girlfriend/wife/child-bearer.

    I disagree with this. A man's sexual prime time is when he's with a woman who's in her sexual prime time.

    Thanks for the constructive response. So, you are saying that the decline in a woman's appeal is due to her declining fertility?

    Women's shape changes when they are out of their peak fertile years.
    And on a purely basic biological reproductive level they are not as attractive.

    That the madness is essentially a side effect, which unfortunately also makes her less attractive to men?

    Ah sure the horrormoans makes them all crazy and sure how can you trust anything that bleeds from the crotch once a month and doesn't die....

    It's not like men don't suffer from testosterone poisionsing on ocassion.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Some women in their late 20s/30s yes... and you know why? Because they've insecurities and take comments like "you'll be left on the shelf" etc to heart rather than relaxing about things - hence the desperation.

    Felix is cat food, right? Why are you opening a second can of it? Is it so you can overfeed your cat and make it less able to catch birds and mice, and thereby more dependent on you?

    well that just means you are after a different type of relationship than some girls your own age.

    Whether that means there is something wrong with them, or you, or you just want different things from life is debatable.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    When I was in my mid teens I couldn't stand women, as they mature they get better and better. By the sounds of it, us guys don't though... which is worrying for me.

    Meh, whenever this comes up I just think of my circle of friends (late 20s, early 30s, very attractive and happy in themselves) and realise how much of a fallacy it is. And many of said friends are single having realised the men they were with weren't who they wanted to spend their lives with, or they merely don't want to settle down yet. And some of them simply - gasp! - aren't looking for relationships!

    :eek:

    If I have this correctly, OP, you started a thread in the Ladies Lounge meant to prey on the insecurities of women over the age of 25. Sounds like someone isn't having much luck with the ladies. Could it be because of your misogynistic tendencies??

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Actually Zulu, you're more right than you think. It's not that they aren't looking for relationships - as in, making a point of avoiding being with a man (although some of them have been hurt in the past and are cautious). But they aren't actively looking for a man. If the right guy comes along, obviously all's well that ends well.

    Actually I remember someone starting a thread here about the madness of women who have been burned and are psycho when it comes to men. So are we desperate for men or man-haters? :p

    I don't think your original post is worth the effort of any kind of response.

    And yet...

    I've formed a mental picture of you. Its pretty funny. It involves a combover, a beer belly, impotence....but I'm not one for insults, so I'll leave it there.

    But I bet it is tiny.
