Longevity of Jerseypuller Relationships

Fuzzyduzzy

This will sound silly to some but do relationships usually last long after the social status of a local or county footballer fades away? I know of one marriage and one other relationship that ended not long after the local celebrity aura disappeared due to the guys finishing up with football. From the outside, both couples had very little in common throughout apart from going to GAA functions together and being tagged on social media at events.

Yes many do last. Most people who play sports be it GAA or rugby etc are pretty normal people. The people they date are usually pretty normal too. The stats of relationship breakups probably match artists, video gamers (well those who are not recluses) and any other walks of life.

Your question does indeed sound silly.

Some lads can’t understand why a woman would go out with a lad in “peak” fitness who can also entertain a room full of people.

They’re shocked that greasy fingers, stained orange from subsisting on cheese puffs, an ill-fitting “humorous” T-shirt, and having “completed” all of Red Dead Redemption aren’t attractive to the ladies.

Honestly thought "jerseypuller" was going to be something gay.

In answer to the question; they aren't marriages, they're business contracts.

Yes but also no, so perhaps.

I doubt they'd be able to entertain a room full of people, you have to be intelligent to do that, most gaa intercounty players got their Jobs from just playing.

I get your point, but it still doesn't answer my question.

Is this phrase in common use?

And if so, where (for avoiding reasons)?

I haven’t heard it in a long while at this stage. Used to hear it a lot in one of first “real” jobs. It’s really only people from the country that would use it.

It’s the country equivalent of a “rugger hugger”, which would have been used for the girls who went out with lads on the senior cup teams, junior cup too I suppose.

Nonsense names being “thrown around” by people who are just jealous because they can’t get the girls.

If from one of the bigger GAA counties I get it however I've as much chance of winning an All Ireland as my countymen and I hung up my boots after under 12's. Women do seem to like a whiff of status. It is what it is, I've no issue with it, women are attracted to status the same way lads like curves.

Ah it's the worst. I'm from deep south dublin and it's infuriating. It is what it is though. Such is the life. There's defo a bit of jealousy but it is mad when you see a lad with a face like a slapped arse swanning around Dundrum hand in hand with a babe all because he was on the j's

It's the whiff of fame/status. I was in the Grafton Lounge one night and the tempo was lifting wherever I was. I thought it was the bi-polar thing paying off. One girl came up to me, apparently people thought I was Michael Bublé. I was sickened, 1. I'm way better looking than him 2. it wasn't me that was having the affect on people. It did give me an insight though.

Tell me how

Hang on?
People are attracted to others who are healthy, fit, talented and successful? How shallow can they be.

Want to do a thread on the amount of relationships started with nothing more than a drunken fumble with names being exchanged afterwards.

Sounds like someone still has baggage from not being good at sports when they were at school. People would be better off focusing on their own attributes and relationships.
