    When did being 35 ever equal middle age?

    Not that I'm 35 or anything.

    To be fair to em, I thought approaching 40 was mid age territory when very young but I think it's more like over 50 now

    If you compare this to Italian,French,Latino or Asian women who seem to keep their figures in check.
    Is this solely down to culture,diet or climate.
    I'm not having a go here just an observation having spent time in the above countries.

    Well, when I said I "seen Angeline Ball last week" I meant to say: 'seen Angeline Ball at The Commitments reunion gig' and the bit about saying what I did is only half true, as I did say it, but it was later that night and I was alone and naked and said it to her in my mind.

    It's true though, she has aged well.

    Nope, would have to fully back him up on that. Dublin birds are the most stuck up women I've encountered, the merits of why still unknown. I guess that makes 2 virgins/losers/sad bastards/delusional idiots who just cant get any.

    I was out recently and bumped into a few of my sisters old friends from her school yrs,one or two still keeping trim at 38 and fairplay to them they were nit hitting the booze much,a few others looked just like oversized pears with a weathered look from excess indulgence and were lashing the drink into themselves.
    If you go to the continent,you don't get groups of women in there late 30's pouring pints of beer down their gob at breakneck speed,they seem to watch the overindulgence better.
    Have to disagree on Latino women ageing poorly,if you go to Argentina or south America in general the amount of amazing milfs,gives ya neck strain walking down a street there,here maybe it's the weather and they are hidden by a dufflecoat or an unflattering large winter jacket.

    HeHe! Rule 1 of surviving Ireland. Do not put down the women folk!

    Not sure why it's just thrown up against the women though, I think most men age like ****e too. Probably has more to do with the heavy drink culture. Nothing like seeing a person in their mid 40's with burst blood vessels on their cheeks and skin that looks like it belong to someone twice their age. I'm sure the harsh weather doesn't help.

    Mind you I'm sure there's decent looking middle aged women in Ireland. I can remember one form my town I grew up in....ok....so maybe ther'es not many that I've seen but I'm sure there is. Dublin is a bit more cosmpolitan so maybe there's more that side???

    They may be stuck up when they are in Ireland and in their little clicks,but once these same girls move abroad or go on holiday they ride everything in sight and return to Ireland as if butter wouldn't melt in there mouth.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,822 ✭✭✭sunflower27


    Why would you be stuck up because you lived in Dublin??? Seriously, why? :D:D:D

    Lived there six years but never once thought I was something special because I lived there.

    It's not the worst place in the world to live by any means, but certainly not amazing either. :P

    Irish middle aged men are pretty fat too, I think two in three of them are overweight?

    I have this image of you in my head standing in the corner like a durty old man just watching women in general. Not interacting, just watching. Bleeurgh :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,128 ✭✭✭cynder


    At least Irish women dont look like shriveled up old prunes!

    Do you ever see the oldies on holidays who look like shriveled up old prunes! yes they may be skinny but they are also very very wrinkly, a bit of weight expands the wrinkles :D

    The worst kind of woman is the middle aged, sometimes upper class, female customer who demands satisfaction.

    Those of us who've worked in retail have all dealt with their bullshìt before.

    Your a little too early on the dirty old man scenario,still relatively young and happily married to a georgeous gal.
    Never was one for the corners,preferred the bar stool.
    I hope I didn't hit a nerve with you,of my encounters of Dublin girls during summers away in te states,living on the continent or backpacking they were horny as hell once they had a few vodkas and acted totally out of character to the image they portray in Irrland.
    Don't get me wrong we all welcomed it :) as Irish lads are the very same here and abroad but the change was amazing,I would meet these girls back in Dublin and they were back to being slightly stuck up but very different to how they acted on hols.

    Hang on, I talked to 4 Irish guys in Germany who all agreed with me. None of them have ever been on a date before in their lives and they were all in their early 20s, and all of them talked about how much more genuine, authentic, down-to-earth and easier to meet German women were than Irish women, and that's even if you can only speak basic German and are speaking with them in English. Only a minority of German women speak English, yet at that time when I spoke little German, I was meeting loads of women who I could communicate with in English. How do you explain this?

    I know where youre coming from roge, can I call you roge?

    Now Roge, stuck up Irish girls is definitely a phenomenon but in my experience, it's an age thing. Its pretty bad between 18-22 but after this they start to realise they arent all that, they've been badly treated a few times had a few rough nights etc, I was once like you are now and I know it aint easy to be calm when you've found something going on, just take your time and think a lot, think of everything you've got, cause you will still be here tomorrow...but yoy dreams may not.

    There was a French woman on Gerry Ryan several years who had written a book about 'Why French Women don't Get Fat' or something to that extent.
    The following year, a study was released that stated that 'French women had the highest obesity levels in Europe'.

    Don't drink the kool-aid.

    Indeed. She might have entitled the book "Why bourgeois Parisiennes don't get fat" and have some basis in reality.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    No just two guys who are really keen to apply the behaviour of some women to all. Seriously, you're backing HIM up?!

    Hi I am a Polish lady and I think Irish lady dress very nice and wear good cosmetic.
    In Poland yes many lady have nice figure but also a big pressure on lady in Poland to look good as man want this and lady very competitive to keep good body and look nice.
    I think in Poland the young girl do not eat so much bad food and same with the older lady they eat healthy and try exercise a lot.
    This maybe why Polish lady look good a lot but also in summer time in Poland lady like to wear short dress and have nice legs to show this,My auntie and my Mother both eat healthy to be still sexy in there 40s.
    I think many beautiful Irish lady here but sometime I cannot imagine why they drink so much alcohol and eat fast food a lot.

    German women love leprechauns.
