Members of AGS: notorious cheaters?

I went out with a member of AGS and was devastated when he cheated on me. When I told my friend she said she was very surprised that I didn't know AGS have a serious reputation for cheating.

Is anyone else aware of this?! It was the first I'd heard of this type of rep.

Cee-Jay-Cee

I’d say it was your immaturity that drive him elsewhere.

I would say they are slightly more promiscuous than others, but again, it's a small few that give the rest a bad name. Unfortunately, I couldn't be one of them when I was a member, not for lack of trying. Ever hear of badge bunnies? All they want to do is ride a Garda. Couldn't find any of them myself though.

When I ended the relationship with my last partner (she wanted kids, I didn't), I told her to stay away from Guards. Fast forward 5 months and she's ringing me asking if I know Garda Suchnsuch from X station. I asked why. Turns out she was 'in a relationship' with him and subsequently found out he had 4 girlfriends. My advice is good, why don't people listen?

It's still predominantly a male force (something like 73%), so when you're working 'with the lads' all day, and you do have a closer bond than most work colleagues, the bants and fun come out, and part of that is the ever present sexual horn dogs. Add the uniform to some of them, and a lot of women want them. And shur who is a young lad to say no? Even the older lads, but their promiscuous nature usually shines through at Christmas parties with the newbie on the unit. Not all mind, but from my limited experience of 1 station out of 500 odd stations. I've heard it echoed across other stations, but that's hearsay and not admissible in evidence.

Ahh... very interesting. Yeah I could tell from him it was all very “laddish”. Lots of pints and banter, they even had a Whatsapp group to exchange pics and videos of naked girls.

I wouldn’t call myself a badge bunny but I do have a thing for guards. But I think I’ll heed your (and my friend’s) warning and stay away in future!

So you thought he would never cheat....

...even after the 10,000th breathalyzer test on the first date

Definitely, their notoriety has spread far and wide. If I were you I would don a nun's habit and go on the run.

God, how did I not know this?!

Ken.

Mod- Hell no. In this time of trouble there will be no Garda bashing thread. Op, go post on your facebook.
