    Are you saying 1 may not have their cake?
    And eat some biscuits too!

    I am appalled!!!

    I suppose you'd have to ride the wife an odd time but the days of riding 3 women in the weekend would be long gone

    Speak for yourself!
    That said, I'd best hope the Mrs doesn't find my boards account ;)

    Men accumulate more resources when they are older which women are attracted to and
    Men prefer younger women because they can have more children

    It is all biology.

    It’s amazing what a bit of strange will do for the libido.
    They’ve done studies on rats. Male rat was all shagged out, not a sup of semen left. A new female was introduced and the rat was on the job.

    First they came for the socialists...

    Let's put this to bed once and for all. The so called slut/legend 'double standard' exists because it is incredibly easy for women to get sex. On the other hand it's very difficult for a man to get sex, even a very good looking man. There's a reason we call it 'getting lucky!'.

    A woman sleeping around is like a fat person gorging on fried food, there's nothing admirable about it, it's gluttony. Men are, rightly, celebrated when they are successful with women.

    And if that sounds unfair then remember men who never get any are shamed as 'creepy virgins' 'rapists' etc.

    It’s difficult for some men, yes. Maybe it wouldn’t be if most of the young men nowadays weren’t incels who didn’t spend their evenings playing video games and complaining about how easy women have it.

    Ireland is now a hook up culture and honestly it's brutal out there. The average man now has to work ten times harder than he did in your day.

    Goodnight Zimbo!

    Answer A: Because women want all things from one man, and men want one thing from all women.

    Answer B: Because men and women want the same things out of life, just at different ages.

    Answer C: Most people settle down with a partner who's within a few years of themselves so large age gap relationships are the exception rather than the rule.

    That's quite descriptive.
    Self portrait is it?

    Let me guess, you married your childhood sweetheart at age 23?

    The world has changed. Ireland is now a hook up culture and honestly it's brutal out there. The average man now has to work ten times harder than he did in your day.

    Incorrect. If I was thirty years younger I would thrive with the opposite sex just like I did back in the 1980s.

    The fact of the matter is that fewer women are settling for losers they’re not that keen on because they’re afraid to be considered unmarriable spinsters and so more of them are having the kind of healthy consensual fun denied to them for generations.

    The incels need to wake up and realise that it’s up to them to adjust to positive changes to society rather than insist of some sort of regression back into puritanism. Go to the gym, go for a run, make yourself attractive. Stop blaming women because you’re a minger.

    Ok but that doesn't change the fact that your daughter is a slut and your son is a legend.

    Have a lovely evening old man :)


    I think I know why women aren't interested in you.






    Clue: it's not them.

    Enjoy sleeping alone tonight, young fella. Don’t forget to floss, the ladies appreciate good hygiene.

    Actually I've been banging an 8/10 South American girl for the last week and a half, so all good there.

    You must be exhausted and your willy must be red raw at this stage...

    Fair play though.

    No you haven't.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,337 ✭✭✭✭banie01


    What's the point white knighting online? Do you seriously think a woman will give you pity sex?

    Pity sex? Is that something akin to chore sex?
    Or some other label that those who think that sex is a transactional exchange call it?

    I'm not getting into a dick measuring contest online with someone who is plainly trolling.
    Enjoy your South American girl, I hope you speak to hear with a little bit more respect thn you show Women online.
    Or is that a transactional relationship too?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,337 ✭✭✭✭banie01


    I slap her on the ass and call her baby! And she loves it because she expects a man to be strong and dominant.

    But hey, maybe the nice guy routine will work for you. Anything is possible.

    Nice guy?
    You're mistaking me for someone else.

    Strong dominant men, dont pay for sex ;)
    And they aren't little beta prícks boasting about imaginary sex but you knock yourself out...
    Clearly N.N.N isnt happening round yours and I'm sure the lotion manufacturers are glad of the business

    Aw, bless! No you don't, pet. Turn off the porn and get off the internet for a while, Jay.

    She has a baby? She’s probably not a virgin, then. So that only makes one of you.

    Are you pulling her hair and calling her a "dirty liddle bitch" ?

    I bet you love it when your man is rough.

    There's quite a difference between consensual play and the assumption all women want to be manhandled.

    That's not 'virtue signalling' before you suggest it. That's trying to appeal to as many women as possible. ;)

    Form a que ladies! This man fights for your honour!

    Nope, not on the market.
    Funnily enough though, when I was the queue was short and crazy

    Men and women, in general, mature at different rates and in different ways and women often find themselves attracted to older chaps without even being aware of it. This has tended to work out well enough down through the aeons because women, on average, live longer.

    Zimbo, a number of hints have been dropped but have gone over your head like an F18 on combat afterburner, so here it is: women are not attracted to unwashed, unshaven articles who sit in their bedroom in their mothers' house spouting rubbish and tugging the head off it like crazed bonobo apes.

    Yeah! To be able to watch the match in peace!!!
    But yee just can't let us do it, can yee???!!




    To be honest, I think it actually stems from the earlier ages, boys and girls tend to date/be attracted to same ages and then girls hit 16 and they seem more interested in older boys. At least that's how I remember it.
    Being a 16 year old male is a tough age! The 16 year old girls tend to aim for 18 year old fellas etc...

    And then it seems to remain that way, the gap of 2 years might widen slightly but it does seem to be the norm overall that in general the female goes for the slightly older male and honestly I think that's where it all stems from.
    Of course, the much older male has a rep for going after far younger females then later in life while buying more lotto tickets and now there's Cougars and jaysus there's Milfs and Dilfs and all kinds of mental stuff that
    could take you away into a myriad of tangents but at the end of the day the entire thing will inevitably end with the male seeing less football.

    I pull her hair but I don't call her names. Anyway, we have a language barrier so she probably wouldn't understand.

    " sua puta suja " if she is Brazilian she will go crazy for this, especially if your as good as you say you are. You stud.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,337 ✭✭✭✭banie01


    Good thing I'm tall and handsome so. Having said that, I do feel empathy for incels.

    Sure lash up a picture and get yourself some internet points and you might even get a queue of boardsies willing to sample your shagging "skills"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 3,801 ✭✭✭KathleenGrant


    A man 15 years younger than me asked me out lately. I said no cos of the age difference. I thought it would be a bit much of an age difference.

    Answer C is the only one that has statistics to back it up. The OP's observations are from far too small a sample to come up with the the conclusion they reached.

    The statistics from the CSO (Central Statistics Office) are here and in Ireland, it shows that the average man is 36.1 years old when getting married, while the average woman is 34.1 years old.
