    Why are you talking to your parents about their sex life? wtf?



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    I'm 45 years old... these conversations happen over a bottle of whiskey, or a couple bottles of wine. And it wasn't primarily about sex, but rather their dating experiences and how they got together. You've never been curious to know what your parents were like before they became your parents?

    It is simply amazing how content people are, to not know details about their parents lives. Makes no sense to me.

    No worries on your imaginary story anyway granddad



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,031 ✭✭✭✭pgj2015


    I know how they met, I have no interest in their sex life though. I would need more than whiskey to talk about that, maybe heroin.

    Impressive. You avoided my point while circling back to repeat your own inaccurate observation.

    Forget it.

    I feel that somewhere between the contemporary dating app and catching the eye of your attraction across a crowded room or dancefloor we have all lost a large chunk of romance. Dating has become systematic, I blame the Americans to be honest. I remember spending days, or even weeks, trying to concoct a plan to maybe get a crush to go out, or go somewhere, anywhere with me? It was a challenge, it was exciting. Second guessing every interaction with your secret crush at school, college, work or any social circle. The anticipation of what could happen. It made my heart pump. These days it is all picture swiping, dick size and Instagram highlights. What a fooking drag.... I feel sorry for everyone using dating apps, you really are missing out on so much.

    The chase is almost as good as the kill, believe. Sometimes better.

    People are beautiful creatures, get to know them a little. Meet them somewhere random, enjoy each other. Stop comparing them with everything, people are all different. Meet, date and enjoy as many people as you can, when you can, while you can.

    I identify with the Fluorescent Pill , I like to brighten my dates up a little, if I can get one.

    There's an article at gaurdian.co.uk, lifestyle, about dating, it says people are getting bored with using dating apps, also people may message each other alot, but then they never actually meet up irl



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,026 ✭✭✭YellowLead


    That apps are so boring if you want to find something real and not just a hookup. However opportunities in real life to meet somebody are slim especially as you get older and your friends are all in relationships and or have families. So as much as some of us hate the apps, it’s an if you’re not in you can’t win type scenario.

    Well if you go around sucking everyone's cock see how many people want to bring you home

    I went looking for photos on an old phone and fired up the bumble app, that I haven't used in well over a year.

    There's a lot of familiar faces on it, and a good few people that I had messaged are still active (apparently).

    Like Frankie Boyle said, the sexual equivalent of eating out of the bin.

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    Must be difficult for you with the small willy alright

    🤣 thread gets funnier. Your user name is not fit for purpose.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,998 ✭✭✭c.p.w.g.w


    In the current environment if you ask someone out once and they say no...if you ever dare to try again...you are seen as a creep/pest...

    I was never confidant enough. So when I was rejected that was it for me...but I have a few friends whose current wives initially rejected their now husband's...that isn't likely happening in this day and age...

    Also how many relationship's started with a drunken ride, which now is rape(as you can't consent with alcohol on board)...

    Maybe this is nature's way of bringing world population's into balance

    This thread may actually win the all-time AH Nonsense Award for the biggest amount of utter rubbish spouted.

    And that's saying something.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,327 ✭✭✭✭Donald Trump



    "The Rapist 3" ?

    Bit of a strange choice alright ........ might not be conducive to success on dating apps



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,489 ✭✭✭sprucemoose

    Personally I have never actively searched for a relationship because of intense anxiety and assumed autism. I don't have a social personality so relationships weren't going to work for me. I also have below average looks so it is not like women have ever approached me either. I think if I was good looking things may have worked out differently as you would have had normal teenage relationships with females and that may have given you the confidence and the dopamine to develop a more normal personality as an adult. Instead I had no choice but to live a life of isolation like Quasimodo behind the walls of Notre Dame.

    I know that MGTOW is a big movement particularly in America. That community seems to have a lot of normal men who don't trust women anymore particularly with the hypergamy sexual positive culture in the modern west. It would be very easy to lose your money in divorce in America, like Alan in 'Two and a half men'.

    The sexual and dating marketplace has drastically changed over the past 30-50 years. In the past women needed a husband to provide for her whereas now given how financially successful women can be it means that they don't need a man. They have choice now, if they do want to breed they will pick the handsome man, the top of the barrel. Nowadays it isn't as easy for men to use their job to attract women. 50 years ago that would have worked but nowadays a financially stable woman doesn't need to marry that ugly bank manager for his money anymore.

    It’s not your looks that are holding you back from a relationship.

    One reason Men no longer want to date Women is because Men's rights are being eroded by our Justice Minister. Consent is being weaponized and re-defined in complicity with radical feminist NGO's and Men are hitting back by boycotting relationships resulting in Women not being able to have children and being single for the rest of their life. Even good guys are alarmed by the increasingly anti-male policies of our Justice system.

    In fact, today the Justice Minister Helen McEntee announced sweeping changes to make it more difficult for a Man to defend himself in a Court of Law when accused of a sexual misstep. There are cases of vexatious accusations as we saw in one particular case within the last two months where the accused Man was acquitted. Since 2017, a defendant accused of rape (even if the accusation is malicious) can no longer cross-examine the accuser in a Court of Law - how is that fair?

    As long as the courts and laws remain hostile to Men, less good guys will commit to a Woman. No Man is ever going to date a Woman who could make a malicious accusation against him because in most cases the accuser will be believed. That strikes to the heart of a Man and few Women appreciate that. It's like an attack on your rights and Men value their rights just like Women. If there's no fairness in our Justice system or Courts, why should Men trust Women?

    I have middle class friends and these Men in their late 20's and early 30's have pulled back from relationships with Women because it's hard to predict a Woman's state of mind. They are worried about the anti-male policies of this Government and have difficulty trusting Women because of it. So you can thank our Justice Minister and her radical feminist NGO's who have hijacked our rule of law - akin to mob rule. I hope there are decent Women out there that will disown these radical feminist NGO's and Justice Minister who's destroying Women's chances of finding decent guys.
