No hope for Dublin manhood!

Waestrel

Up where I live, in oh-so-fashionable-but-tragically-pretentious South Dublin (or SoCoDu according to some) i have of late noticed a certain trend towards douchebaggery in the young that i had not previously spotted. Before, when I was young - being from Dublin 16 meant aspiring to go to DIT and do engineering with "the lads" - now it seems to be a prerequisite to being a bumboy. Weak, weedy young men with no ability to fix a puncture or crap in the woods, too used to "delicate" hobbies such as French horn and soft touch schooling which resulted in too few beatings during the formative junior cert years.

Everywhere is infested with scensters, and poseurs, emos and metros. With Skinny jeans hanging around their arses, A pair of converse high tops, hair screwed on to their heads and a pair of black rimmed glasses, they are the arbiters of cool in post Celtic Tiger Dublin. Ambition do not usually involve going to UCD for Orts, as that is too mainstream, rather the attraction lies in animation, media and other limp wristed quiche eating courses.

What is to be done about this? When the zombie wars erupt we will need to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with real men, those who can lobotomise a living dead with a well timed crack of a hurley,- instead we will have the company of girly men raised on x factor who think the zombies look like Jedward. What will we do? Their delicate nature will sell us all to ghoulish oblivion!

Who gives a crap about them, they'll be the first to die in a zombie war anyway! they'll make weak zombies

I grew up in Dublin 16. I don't know any fellas who aspired to go to do engineering in DIT with the lads!

Douchebaggery?



Who are you to point the finger?

Its funny how most people have Irish youth boiled down to either a) the type of posh dubliners the OP is talking about or b) a bunch of skangers.

He was a douche bag too. Bleedin' carpenter and you'd think we'd find some of his handiwork in the bible? Noooooooooooo. He went around waffling his brain softy waffly jargon and making people zombies and making people become vegans (may not be true).

Aw, can Jesus not heal the splinters from his fingys? Awwwwwwwww.

Any questions?

A recession might help.
I can see this actually happening. The country will be in recession within two years. Mark my words.
Then they won't have enough money to be scenesters.

What do you suggest to toughen them up OP?

When they're newborns, leave them on top of a hill overnight in the winter and if they survive they'll be considered tough enough to be considered potential real men?

themadchef

Not so long ago a generation aspired to go to Scotland picking spuds or working in the gardens / on the roads in England. You had it soft, in your own way

So the Celtic tiger generation got it even softer, they will harden the fúck up because they will have to, simples. Dont be a begrudger, i bet your Granny looked at you rocking out to Fame in your leg warmers and thought wtf!!

I shouldve been clearer but since manhood was in the thread title I thought I'd leave it out, 2 years service for men so but then they might say that is sexist!

I studied in DIT Bolton Street in the 90s... the place was full of engineering students, all blokes, dressed in brown suede boots & lumberjack shirts tucked into their Levis, and listening to Bryan Adams.

It wasn't something to aspire to, in all honesty.

You're right OP, everyone must conform. Individuality must be discouraged or else we wont be able to put people into neat little boxes.

A real man would already be out hunting naked in the forest with nothing but a smeared coat of his own fecal matter to protect him, and yet here you are on the internet whining. I'd be out there too if I hadn't been cut in half by a landmine, mauled by lizards and left to die in the baking sun.

I'm going to abandon all my gender equality morals for this one. I am sick to ****ing death of my teenage boy friends WHO INSIST ON TELLING ME ALL THEIR ****ING EMOTIONS!

It sounds like you're trying to be a bit too trendy yourself with words like "douchebaggery" and talk of zombies. And if you're so concerned about "bumboys" why are you paying so much attention to what other males look like?

You know what? - you're right. I take it all back! Thank you anonymous internet person for showing me the error of my ways and not realising I might be indulging in bad comedy on a snowed in Saturday night.



Do you give guitar lessons?

You seem motivated, will you take the imperative like a young
Chernyshevsky did in 19th century Russia & act on those social
maladies he perceived when asking the same question!
Will you act on your convictions seeing as they are as
noble as those who ask similar questions, I mean when we view
life through the spectacles you've adorned we should first apply
them to ourselves & see how we compare to humanity seeing as
we are judging others for how they compare. I think your
question is noble, perhaps a small genocide emocide is needed?
Obviously we want more laddish goys being lads ladding about laddishly.

And when you were young everyone used to talk about real men became farmers/contractors/mechanics - men with callouses on their hands, not these pale "IT/engineering" types who have soft, girly hands and can't lift anything heavier than a laptop

I suspect that anyone who uses the word "douchebag" is a big poof who watches too much american telly.

Ah now you can't really say anything about Ambition. You went to DIT "with the lads" instead of going to UCD, the best uni in Ireland for engineering. Arts degrees are for 2 groups, the ambitionless or those who know exactly what they want to do. :pac:
