Irish women are brill! :)

Pherekydes

In a direct riposte to that other thread dissing every Irish woman based on a sample size of two, I want to do the opposite based on a sample size of one.

I went to college with a young woman who was conscientious, honest, diligent, kind, generous, helpful, polite, patient, sober, softly spoken and highly intelligent.

Irish women, I salute you.

Quite like them myself lol.

Pretty much the only women that are capabale of cracking jokes that are actually funny!

I was under the impression, from several people that I spoke to that the majority look down at LL, so that's really nice. Please explain further!

I do love my fellow Irish females, I think they are loyal, considerate, and I love the fact the majority have a great sense of humour that I think is unique to them.

I think it's really annoying when 2 million people are tarred with the same brush because of two wenches someone met in a nightclub queue! So thank you for liking Irish women

Of course Irish women are brilliant. They haven't chucked me out of here yet for starters.

To be honest I am a bit of bitch but not sure if thats cause Im Irish or the fact i am bitter, twisted 26 year old who is already on the scrapheap. Probably the latter.:p

I think Irish women make very good friends, im straight so no idea what kind of lovers they make.

well i'll try my best, expressing the thoughts in my head into text that for someone to read mainly ends up in them tearing their hair out to dicipher it.

around two years ago i use to hang around with girls i didn't like just because they were cool and had lads wagging their tails at their every command. i thought that this was what "everyone" thought was great. i came to realise that it just wasn't but yet couldn't see any girls out there that didn't do this complete and utter **** act and was beginning to lose hope that there were polar opposite girls out there.

so i expanded my circle of friends and had some patience and think it's worked out for the better.

this forum has shown me that there are a whole array of different girls out there with a varied array of personalities and other shining qualities.

some examples being: a girl posts here about feeling down and what happens, the girlies here group together, talk about it and go out for drinks, making the girl that was feeling down, not feel down. that's just great tbh and i couldn't see that happening before.

the hugh heffner thread, one of the funniest threads i've read in here, again wouldn't have happened anywhere but here.

even from attending just one TLL beers cocktails, i just got a cool - allbeit hard to describe - unintimmidating vibe from a bunch of lovely girls that you would be hard pushed to find anywhere else a vibe where a guy who was also horribly outnumbered.

those "several" people should be shot tbh, if this forum makes one person feel apart of something - no matter how small it may be - then it's worth it and i say feck the ney-sayers tbh.

For the record I was at beers so technically I'm included in the term "unintimidating bunch of lovely girls". So there!

if you keep saying to yourself that you're on the "scrapheap" then you will be, but at the age of 26 you can't possibly be.

First off, Irish girls are great. Yeah some aren't but you get that everywhere. This forum alone shows how friendly, funny and caring Irish girls can be.

But the main question I want to ask here is why is the Ladies Lounge forum looked down on as pointed out in a post in here....why exactly would and should anyone look down on it? Because their forums are all so much better? Hardly. I'd like to know why. There's a wide range of topics discussed here, like Cremo said, anyone that's come on here who is lonely etc everyone has offered support and arranged to meet up with. Lots of people on here have made great friends and there's been some great nights out.

To anyone that looks down on that, that's a sad attitude to have.

Clare Bear

Just like every race, gender, neighbourhood, city, country, group, band, faction, etc. in the world... There are amazingly nice, sweet women.. and there are sour, cruel bastards.


I would never say that irish women are great. Maybe in some people's experiences they are. But in my experience, the vast majority are inconsiderate, up their own ass, big headed, mentally retarded assholes.



Although I'd imagine the women that post here are, for the most part, sensible, decent people.

I doubt it was meant literally. If anyone has time to 'look down on a forum' then they need to get off the internet for a few weeks.

The vast marjority? Hardly. It must be tough being you if the vast majority of this country's women have been so horrible to you. Think again, there's a lot of idiots out there but if most of us were like that you wouldn't be able to talk to anyone!

By the way there's PLENTY of threads on Boards giving out about Irish women, you might enjoy posting your negativity in them more than the one positive thread there is.

Yeah.. You're right. Sorry. I'm just in a bad mood, and its woman related, and i seen this on the main page and just ranted on

My bad. Boards women = great (when they don't write "Wimmins" or "Tis".. that bugs me) :pac:

It was, actually. The Ladies Lounge took a bit of time to settle down into what it is now, a friendly community of broadly like-minded individuals, but with enough differences between them to provoke discussion and offer help/advice/entertainment based on their own experiences. There was a lot of in-fighting in the beginning and many outsiders, myself included, feared for the future of the forum as it was getting itself a bad reputation. It was definitely looked upon as being the "problem child" of Boards, and it took a while to shake that tag. Some people chose to leave rather than continue arguing or posting on a forum that was going in a direction that they didn't like, others joined as the forum developed into a place where they felt comfortable. Nothing unusual there, that's pretty much what happens in all forums, it just took a little more time and grief to get to where it is today.

Where it is today, imo, is a forum where the serious (women's health issues, for example) can sit alongside the banal (which shoulder you wear your bag on anyone?), and where the regulars feel comfortable enough to meet up in RL quite often. It's gone beyond the stage where people "look down" on it, to a point where it would be very hard to justify not having a forum such as this. Besides, people are too busy slagging me for being a mod here to be bothered slagging off the forum itself.

Anyway, I digress, that's just my 2c in response to the above comments. This thread is about why Irish women are brill, not for navel-gazing, so please keep it on-topic. Thanks.

Hmm, the women that post here are decent and sensible, but the vast majority of Irish women as a whole are big-headed, mentally retarded assholes? LMAO.

As Clare said, take your bitterness to another thread. The other one, in fact.

P.S. If you've problems with so many women, maybe you're the problem?

Budge up on that there scrapheap. I'm a bit of a bitch too... but I like to think it's endearing

I think most Irish women are great - I know a lot of wonderful, sane, intelligent women who are simply ace. However, there is a large contingent of self-centred, game-playing bints who give the rest of us a bad name. But that's not the point of the thread - GO TEAM OVARIES!

Because for a lot of people it's not okay to have a thread about which shoulder your bag should hang on in the same forum as a thread about abortion.

It's upsets them to think that these two thoughts can exists in the same head because they see one as being a very important issues and the other as being pointless.

It should be noted these are largely the same people who think that unless you think everything they do then you are a moron. They are also absolutely sure of their own intelligence, the education of their opinion and that they are some how enlightened.

In short, they are really, really annoying people and best left ignored.

Here's the thing, if they don't like the forum how do they know what is in it? Clearly they are reading the threads and just not bothering to respond. When it comes to discussion of Fora i will only pay attention to people who actually take the time to post in it and if you are posting in threads regularly and then turning around and slagging the forum that just makes you an asshole.

Now then, back to Irish wimmin and how captivating they can be.:)

justsomebloke

I said it before and I will say it again I love foriegn women but it takes an Irish women for me to be in love.

So to Irish women I salute you.
