How about forming your own one?

Just an idea.

As a person trying to help others....After all,,it's still the "Cork" Forum,,and not the Ladies Lounge.

So what does it come across as??

It seems I've done something wrong now..

sporina

the title of the thread is women's groups in cork - seems a bit strange that a guy would be in here. there are plenty of other ways with which you could use your good nature - more appropriately too.. no offense

MrFrisp

Take a chill pill girls...

Lesson learned..

I won't be offering help in here again.

hi, as far as I know there are no specific ladies group, there is the leeside macra who are a mixed social group in cork city and meetup.com have a cork base which is quite good for going along to social events, i would be interested in a female social group however if someone was interested also in arranging same?

And why would I want to do that then? Have I done it somewhere else before?

No I have not.

Very true, that idea never entered my mind!!!!

Ha, Ha. Had to laugh at this one. Is this not an open, public forum where anyone can read or post?

I wonder if the roles were reversed and MrFrisp made such a comment about a lady, would he be accused of being sexist, bigoted etc.

Just wondering.

i wasnt starting anything just an example of how things can come across on a forum like this. it maybe an open forum but a guy commenting on previous post here can be interputted a number of ways

Agreed..

As I already said...Lesson learned..

I won't be trying to help like that again.

Chill folks, bit of a misunderstanding, no harm done, you'd only be wasting time going over it.

lisasimpson

cool now back to the point of the thread, ill pm those who said they would be iinterested and will try to sort out coffee or somthing for us to get to met

nbnb

Great, look forward to it.

mariebeth

This sounds great, is there much interest?

I'm definitely up for meeting anonymous strangers from a message board who needlessly attacked another person who was trying to help in the very thread where they agreed to meet up. Typical catty woman behaviour...

Find a group of lads. It's a lot less arduous and bitchy to talk to them and they generally don't get pregnant. Plus there's no conversational holds barred and you might be invited for a game of ball.

lisasimpson

ok thinking of taking down the thread now. it was a genuine thread no one was attacking anyone, a bit disapointed if people think that and the last comment wasnt needed as i thought the air was clear
if any of the girls that said they would be interested in the idea, please feel free to work away to take over the organisation

This is just a suggestion from someone who probably first read your post out of curiosity (can’t think of any other reason) and who would not qualify to join your group for a couple of reasons.

First of all, as someone else has advised: “Take a chill pill girls...” This is the internet and this has been a civilised thread compared to the **** that is thrown about by pompous idiots on some other threads.

Not female and a long way from Cork but I think that your idea was and still is a very good one. However, you need to develop a thicker skin and be prepared to take criticism, which you will get no matter how much you do or how good your intentions may be. Anything worth doing will usually hit a few snags along the way but the people who succeed are the ones who keep trying.

So, forget about the bit of ‘hand-bagging’, put the disappointment in the past and keep going. You have displayed a bit of initiative and leadership and that is admirable. Your idea could turn into something worthwhile and if you can reach out a bit beyond this forum, I can see how it would be a Godsend not just to people who are out for a bit of craic but also to very many lonely women in Cork.

Come on the Cork girls.
