    In a similar vein to the Eastern European thread ...

    well?

    Seems like a hard group to break into?

    I have no direct experience, before asked.

    The only single one I could find was 12.Quality ride though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,636 ✭✭✭celt262


    Stick it in there boss.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,195 ✭✭✭✭jimgoose


    Not "gone out with", exactly. But I shifted this girl one night years ago in Limerick. Woke up the next morning after a fine ride, bit of a sore head but sure that's alright... until I looked out the window - a caravan window. Piles of rubbish, caravans, Hi-Aces, sulkies, raggedy-arsed kids, everywhere. "Cheeses Christ! You told me you were a nurse! WTF are we doing here?" "I did nat, bass!", she says. "I said I was a Ward sister!!" :cool:

    I'd say most of the "ah, sure I did" replies will either be bull or typed using a mouth-piece from a wheelchair. Traveller Daddies don't like their girls playing with settled laddies. And neither do their brothers. Their really, really tough brothers...

    Fair comment, but did you ever ride a Travveler girl?

    Travvelers Girls are generally white? I've no other guesses, beats me tbh.:confused:

    No,but I rode his wife.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,454 ✭✭✭bogwalrus


    If feel bad about this but I ended up scoring with this lovely girl in a club. I invited her back to mine but she insisted I went back to her new rented house. She kept saying she had new mattress's and all. I thought this was weird. Then a group of pure rough lads walked over. They had heavy accents like in the travelling community. I was just scared sh**less. She was really nice and was trying to get me back. I felt bad for declining as I knew I was only doing so because I knew she was a traveller. She had barely an accent and it seemed fake so I think she intentionally hid her accent which is a pity also.

    Another strange thing is the lads she was with let her chat to me and try and get me back as they genuinely knew she liked me. ( By this time I knew the lads were family and were actually nice enough and not out to murder me)


    Anyway that's my story and that's why I don't like to generalise as it must be difficult for nice traveller's to try and mix with rest of us. They have to put on fake accents and sh*t which is just awful.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,221 ✭✭✭NuckingFacker


    Culturally, Travveler girls would not be much into going with a settled lad as if found out, they'd be in serious bother with their parents - nor are they normally too inclined to be seen alone with a lad, let alone riding him until the rings on the finger. They're very old-fashioned when it comes to that stuff and just because they dress a certain way, doesn't mean they behave a certain way. Some fine Travveler Beors btw, some are real stunners. Some aren't, but there you go.

    There are to be no jokes about him ending up in a shed, working laying tarmac on below the minimum wage had he accepted, as a result of this post. None.

    Substitute the word Black or Jew for traveler and read whats happening here. This is a disgusting thread.

    Yup. Or "Eastern European".

    How the hell is it disgusting to ask if someone has gone out with a black or Jewish woman? Particularly in Ireland where it would be especially uncommon and therefore interesting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,053 ✭✭✭wilkie2006


    "Dating" isn't really a thing with Travellers, I understand. Marriages are very often arranged at quite a young age and there doesn't tend to be too much going on outside of that.

    How about you don't substitute any words and then read what's actually happening?

    I agree that this is probably a thread that could easily descend into racism, but I don't think the question is inherently racist.

    Traditionally, in terms of romantic relationships, the Traveller and settled communities have been quite distinct from one another: that's hardly a contentious or remarkable statement. Simply asking whether anyone on boards has known anything otherwise is hardly racist.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,097 ✭✭✭Dtp79


    Settled lads don't go out with them and vice versa cause its pretty much there culture not to mix, stick with traveller boys cause its their patents wishes. Their husbands are chosen for them from 16 Years old and are married by 18 ish

    I would have to say that I have never had the pleasure of having sex with an itinerant.

    If you took the word 'travelling' out of the title, half of the posts in this thread would still be bullsh1t.:pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,221 ✭✭✭NuckingFacker


    half of the posts in this forum are bullsh1t.:pac:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,366 ✭✭✭batistuta9

    on the TV show they do

    at weddings or whatever the lads grab the girls & seem to keep them there as long as they can or until they get a kiss

    didn't seem to be any arranged marriages on it

    they're travellers living in england though, not sure if they do that here or all travellers do that

    It is disgusting to suggest she is 12. It is disgusting to say she smells of ****. It is disgusting to suggest incest. It is disgusting to suggest the entire race (and they are a separate race) are violent. And dirty. It is a prejudiced, pejorative and nasty thread.
