    OK folks, on topic and serious replies to this only. Otherwise bans will be handed out. Thanks

    I don’t want to get banned and this is a serious reply to OP.
    I think you should go to a pub in Caple street called McNeels say at 10pm 2nite?
    Trust me you will not be seating there alone for long if your description of your self is accurate .

    That'd be where you're going wrong. You seem confident and assured in your sexual needs - why are you waiting to be chatted up? Do the chatting up yourself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 145 ✭✭sardineta


    The response will depend on the city you're talking about.

    Otherwise, your best bet may be to do this online, there are many sites where you can do this, mostly for free as a woman.

    Why not try the internet?

    Lots of adult site for brief sexual encounters?

    Maybe try putting your tits back in, toning down the trampishness and go somewhere other than a pub... just my guess. If what you're doing isn't working ( which it obviously isn't ) try something else. Nothing screams desperate like a girl getting tarted up and hanging round a pub on her own. Maybe that's you. In that case plenty of websites to help you out. 10 foot bargepole comes to mind though.

    You don't say where you are but...

    The Mezz in Dublin is a pick up place. If you stand near the band men will talk to you.

    The Palace pool hall is nearly 100% male. Bring a female friend and it will only be a matter of time before some lads ask you for a game of doubles.

    Any of the "last chance saloon" bars will work too, e.g. the Turks Head, the Czech Inn, etc.

    Go into any pub dressed like how you described, hold eye contact with a man for a few seconds and smile at him. You'll be getting laid by last orders.

    I find it amazing you have this problem. Esp since they sex you want is with no strings attached! You know people do this prof for a living have you honestly thought of doing it prof for the fun and the money can be a bonus. Please dont think I am trying to offend I am just dumbfounded and speechless that this exists.

    I agree with the above why dont you do the chatting up, i have a neighbour she is georgous and she is a good friend when she goes into a pub not many talk to her cause they think she is too good( Thats what we reckon) so she does all the talking and chatting and believe me she has no problem getting attention. Though she does rec going out early before you get the drunk speakers so to speak!

    Hang on a wee minute there... just because a woman wants NSA sex doesn't mean she wants to be a hooker. There's a world of difference between picking up a guy in a bar and a guy picking you up on a street corner or off a website. I know you weren't trying to be offensive, but that's pretty bloody offensive to me!!

    Why are you so dumbfounded that a woman could want and enjoy sex for the sake of sex? It's really not all that mad a concept. The OP is certainly not an exceptional case.

    My advice is, keep away from the pubs my man goes to! :p

    Seriously though, in my day that never used to be a problem.

    Can't really recommend any pubs, maybe clubs would be a better option.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,624 ✭✭✭✭Fajitas!


    Seriously, if you're dressing like that, you shouldn't be waiting to be chatted up. See what happens when you start chatting them up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,315 ✭✭✭✭the_syco


    looking great, tits hanging outta my top, great face and curvey body!
    What age are you? Also, tone the clothes down a tad, and maybe you'll get more attention.

    I never suggested how she picks up a guy I simply applied a bit of logic. If I like cleaning windows I would be a window cleaner. If I like sex with no meaning I would be a male hooker! simple logic!

    No I am dumbfounded that she has a problem finding someone to accomadate.

    I apologise if I have offended you shelly and any other women I understand any women like a man wanting NSA sex but if you have 10 women and 10 men you can bet the divide will not be the same.

    Sex with no strings does not mean sex with no meaning. Sex with no strings means having sex with someone you like and fancy, just for the sex. Being a prostitute means having sex with whoever pays you to, whether you fancy them or not.

    And as for the 10 men and 10 women... depends which men and which women.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,262 ✭✭✭✭Joey the lips


    I am corrected shelly I apologise what I had gotten was she wants to go somewhere and meet up for Sex. My understanding was she would not know this person. I am not justifying my answer I just thook it from a different angle and like I say if I offend I apologise

    But I ask you this. If just sex is with a man you like and know why cant you just ask a man you like and know rather than look to get to know a man you like and know

    although I believe most marriages are just sex with a man/women you like and know but could never love

    Well, you meet someone in a bar, you don't know them. But you talk to them, get to know them, sleep with them, go home. It's not a random stranger thing, really.

    But I ask you this. If just sex is with a man you like and know why cant you just ask a man you like and know rather than look to get to know a man you like and know

    Why would you complicate a friendship with sex if you didn't want a relationship with that person?

    although I believe most marriages are just sex with a man/women you like and know but could never love

    Um... what?

    I can't believe no one has mentioned Coppers.
    It's impossible for a girl not to score in there if she wants to.

    I hate that place.

    Also I agree that probably your main issue is that you need to start being more pro-active and initiating conversation with the men you find attractive.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,045 ✭✭✭Húrin


    OP perhaps you should go for a slightly more sophisticated look. "Tits hanging out" may go down well in France or Brazil, but it is not appealing to a lot of men here.

    I disagree, i think "tits hanging out" would suggest that she's looking for sex. Yes some men might me intimated but other will steps up to the plate.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 240 ✭✭Mulan


    NSA sex. does this exist in the full. Really? Somehow I'd say its never 100% attached.
    Oh by the way, great post and good luck.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,796 ✭✭✭MJOR


    maybe you#'ll find someone on the net that'll give you what you want. I thought that the world was full of men dying for a ride TBH


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,315 ✭✭✭✭the_syco


    OP: I feel you're going to the wrong venues. If a well dressed/made-up woman came in, many of the lads may think she's waiting for the other half. If you came in with a more subtle dress, the lads would give more attention to you.

    Also, it depends on the venue. You mention "so many crappy matches i can feign interest in" and I wonder: why the f**k chats up a bird when watching a match?

    Most of the lads I know who watch a match in a pub, go to watch the match. No talk, unless during half time. Cheering and shouting at the screen, maybe, but that it. Because of this, many will assume you're waiting on the other half, who is going to watch the match.

    On the other hand, most lads goto a nightclub to score.

    Basicly, if you want to score with a good dress, and made up, goto a nightclub. If you want to score in a pub, tone down the dress, and also make 1st contact, be it flirting with your target, or sitting next to them, near the end of the match (annoying a loyal supporter throughout a match may make you look like a crazy bint).

    Hey dere,

    Must agree with loloray. All my friends go there and they never have a prob picking someone up. In fact two of my friends even met there husbands there tho i know thats not what your looking for.

    But def when they are on the pull they head to Flannerys first then onto coppers.

    Yeah guys love being chatted up. Girls even if you are shy you don't even have to make it look like your trying to chat them up. Just accidentally bump into them and start a random conversation and act like your only interested in them since you started talking. That way it looks natural. It happened to me a few times and i only ever realize the next day that girl must have purposely approached me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,163 ✭✭✭✭Liam Byrne


    walking into pubs (smallish pubs) alone, looking great, tits hanging outta my top, great face and curvey body! seriously,

    The "tits hanging outta my top" would put me off, for a start. Great face and curvy body sounds good, but even the way you phrased the other part sounds tacky, let alone visualising it......it sounds like the type of look that most guys would say "would you look at yer wan" but would go back to their match, etc after a few mins gaping.

    As stated by others, some men just go for a classier, more sophisticated/understated look.
    are men just afraid to chat up women?

    As asked above - are you afraid to chat THEM up ? They're not chatting you up, and you're not chatting them up, so if you think that that means that they're scared, then it obviously means you are too.

    Going into a pub during a match and "feigning interest" is a complete no-no......agree with everything above that chatting up comes second to a match, unless someone is actually interested and ye can talk about it.

    Also, still no word as to what "in this city" means.......unless we know which city (and there are 6 in this country) then we can't answer that.

    Sex with no strings does not mean sex with no meaning. Sex with no strings means having sex with someone you like and fancy, just for the sex.

    So she's looking for NSA sex that means something to her. From the guys perspective the NSA sex is not different to sex with a hooker except for the ego boost of not having to pay and that she is actually into him. OP if there was a male prostitute you liked and fancied (think 10/10) would you pay for it? A serious question.

    She may not want to be a hooker, but if she's hanging around pubs on her own with her tits hanging out it's a fair bet that men assume that she is a hooker.

    OP, try the internet. You'll find plenty of guys on Tinder or AFF.
