    I can't imagine it's being utilised at the moment mate, so no not very useful.

    Which?

    I tried Coppers once, but felt like a proper auld lad in it. House is good, and while you wouldn't want to be going every Saturday night, RAIN in Portobello isn't bad for meeting a bird in her 30's looking for a go on a good girthy schlong.

    I keep picturing that scene from Intermission, when the two lads go to some nightclub on Jonesy's recommendation :)

    Did you drop the hand op....


    Something about Miriam comes to mind.

    Desperate about not having children and getting older?

    We'll all die someday anyway so I wouldn't worry... would be my advice.

    53 years young, in fairly good shape, and not afraid to approach a woman to chat her up. I'm raw from saw at this stage.

    Can't really speak from experience, regarding being fat and unattractive like the OP... wouldn't know what that's like at all tbh! :P

    However, I can confirm that there certainly are a large cohort of very desperate women around these days. Women don't really show their desperation in the same overt ways that men do... the signs are more subtle. But visible nonetheless, if you have a keen eye for that kind of thing!

    Jasus... Johnny is back. We haven't heard from you since you rode that randy Welsh bird after the match.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,303 ✭✭✭Rubberchikken


    Women have lowered their standards. And that'ssaying lot based on past evidence.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,582 ✭✭✭Irish_rat


    It's one thing meeting someone on a night out, it's another sustaining a meangingful relationship.

    Personally I did the lad thing in my 20's and that got boring after a while. Also single men in their 30's tend to dress much better and look after themselves.

    When we next send a satellite into space with cultural information for other possible inhabitants of the galaxy, a selection of phrases such as 'I've A Pretty Decent Beard Going' should be included to emphasize the essential intellectual futility of the early 21st century.

    What makes you think so many women are desperate? lots of women actually enjoy the single life and going out socialising with their girlfriends without being on the hunt for a man, shocking I know.

    We're not living in the dark ages where an unmarried woman is seen as a 'spinster' and past it after the age of 35 any more. I was happily single for several years well into my forties. Desperate I certainly was not and I've had friends in a similar situation. And no, I'm not a Victoria Secret model but I'm attractive and I'm a genuine decent person and never had a problem getting a man and having long term relationships.

    I've always felt I would rather be single for the rest of my life than 'settle' and be in a relationship or married with someone I wasn't completely happy with. And certainly not with a guy who thinks he's doing me a favour by being with me because he thinks I won't do any better at my age!

    Would you be interested in a bear who smells like smoke and Jagerbombs by any chance?

    Probably a confidence thing OP. When you're not coming across as desperate and gagging for it you are more approachable. In general, people are a bit more mature and self assured once they get into their 30s

    Obviously you judge people by how they look and their weight....you sound like a good catch...your a lucky man...









    Lol lol

    Speaking as a fat bastard I don't think there are too many people who don't judge someone by how they look and their weight.

    Suppose it depends on the context.

    That bear over there with the martini is winking at you


    That bear over there is running right at us!

    You man wh*re.
    Think of all that different saliva and sweat from 5 different people.

    To thine own self be true

    Maybe I'm being too hard on myself, but I think the women, at their age, might feel under societal pressures to find a man and start families, and therefore have abondoned certain preferences regarding the opposite sex. Would they have let me kiss them in their mid-20s for example? No, they would have knee'd me in the bollox in the belief that they could do better, but now desperation has set in and any man will do.


    How is that being too hard on yourself? :pac:

    Ahh no, honestly you're way over-thinking this thing, probably because you're putting it down to having lost weight and growing the beard, but it's likely you were always attractive to women, you just didn't see it before.

    It's not that hard to imagine that just like straight men, straight women too have all sorts of preferences and tastes when it comes to what they find attractive in a man.

    You know what they say, it takes a big hammer to drive a big nail.

    You know what they say no pics or it didn't happen

    My experience from work is that a wedding ring increased my attractiveness to women by about 65%.

    This. Im a lot more confident in myself now that Im in my 30's. I dont try as hard. During my 20's I was like a dog with 10 willies.

    Are these women foreign OP? As I really don't believe Irish girls approach guys. I wish they did ... however from my own experience foreign girls have no problem approaching a guy on a night out.
