    When she says "I want to go to town to get a few tops for my yoga/dancing/choir practice, will you bring your car because I've no petrol/maybe still over limit from last night".

    Off to town. Me: "But this is a shoe/jacket/chemist/pottery shop. No tops in here".

    She: "You just don't understand".

    I don't understand, so she's right again!

    what I dislike about both:

    1.The way men will huddle in a massive group on a night out, laugh very loudly and act like knobs, and wonder why they didn't get laid.
    2. The way some women completely take the piss out of maternity leave, and this affects how companies perceive all women. We had a teacher in secondary school, whenever she came back from school holidays for three years in a row, she was due soon enough to get maternity, and then her paid holidays too. Before this becomes a flame war, can I emphasise SOME women do this.
    3. Women in Penneys may be nice outside the store, but become snotty, blocky, rude things who pick every thing up and drop it on the floor. Of course you can't buy clothes alone so you're accompanied by 12,541 friends who all do the same.
    4. Men and stripy shirts. There are more colours and shapes out there!
    5. Really "hard" boys who wear diamanté earrings and then use the term "gay" as an insult. Yeah and who got your white trackie bottoms so clean? Was it your mommeeee?

    Surely, this is done by both sexes?!?

    The way you go on a long awaited trip with them and suddenly they're on the rag and just want to stay indoors and cry into their teddy bears, whilst refusing to even put out with a BJ.

    The main one would be their inability to understand our need for a little bit of peace and quite every day. Just a half an hour would do.

    The way men want sex as soon as ye wake up.

    Just give me like five minutes to open my eyes and I'll ride you like a pony. That's all I want, five minutes.

    Lies!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,463 ✭✭✭Solnskaya


    handbags and shoes. why, oh why do ye need so many??? And why oh why do they have to be so expensive???? And why oh why do I have to be the one paying for them??? Oh yeah, because i like sex- good reason:).

    Pisses me off that Irish women put about 4 stone of makeup on before they go to the shops! honestly, it's sickening.

    This approach for putting makeup on seems to be a mostly UK & Ireland system, really can't understand it at all.

    If you're with a girl who's good looking, then why does she need to put on more makeup than a circus clown? I think the makeup mentality boils down to inter woman talk, they seem to convince each other that looking like a Martian doll will make their man happy...

    Women, please, STOP PUTTING MAKEUP ON WITH A TROWEL!!!

    You really don't need to :)

    unless of course you do need to, then just fire ahead, whatever makes you feel good.(some should put it on with a teleporter, others can do without, depends what they're starting with.)

    The whole makeup things reminds of an embarrassing story a mate told me.

    He hooked up with a girl one Sat night and went back to her place. The next morning he woke up and she wasn't beside him in the bed. So he wandered out of the room down the stairs opened a couple doors until he found the kitchen were he heard noise. There was girl boiling the kettle and he went up to her and asked did she know where Susan (not real name) was? She looked at him saying nothing for a few seconds then.... I am Susan!!! :eek::eek::eek:

    It didn't work out for some reason!!

    Totally different person without the makeup!!

    Women who moan about lack of equality then don't pay their way.

    I'm all for spending my money on a girl but only if she is banned from the voting booth.

    I got a warning for this post for being sexist. What I meant by my comment:

    In my opinion, women are equal to men. A lot of women around the world have done a lot of work to rid past imbalance. Girls who expect men to pay their way mustn't think they are equal to men. I don't believe people who consider themselves second class citizens should be allowed to have a say in the way their country is run.

    The same goes for men. If they don't contribute to society, they shouldn't be allowed a say on how it is run.

    Valid point to a certain degree... on the register for over 2 years should = no voting card in my opinion. But you can't tell if a person isn't buying a round of drinks on a night out. :D

    Apples and oranges. Girls are children so no they aren't equal to men. Boys are children so they also aren't equal to women. However men and women is something different altogether. *This is a little pedantic of me but still important to note. Plus you confused me by talking about 'women' and then switching to 'girls' half-way through* And what are you on about that if they don't pay their way they aren't equal? What does 'paying your way' mean?
    on the register for over 2 years should = no voting card in my opinion.
    eh what? are you saying that people who are unemployed for over 2 years shouldn't be allowed to vote? :confused:

    Hmm the way things are going, there will be a lot of empty vote boxes next time round!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,075 ✭✭✭IamtheWalrus


    And what are you on about that if they don't pay their way they aren't equal? What does 'paying your way' mean?

    I'm using drinks as an example. If women are equal, why do some expect men to buy them drinks? Shouldn't it one for one? If I go out with a male mate, does he expect me to buy his booze?

    In fairness, its a long standing tradition that SOME are finding hard to let go of.

    It just stems from the time when women didn't work and as men did they had to pay! Different times now of course but its just one of the old traditions that likes to stick around.

    Long term unemployed do not contribute to society.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    Not exclusive to women but I've come across moreso than lads that are terrible at telling stories about a scenario. It's like they're reading a script out to me with dialogue, actions, setpieces while going off on 53 different tangents before you have to haul them back to the main story.

    By the time they eventually get to the end like : ".....and that's how James broke his phone." you've already figured the story out and have long stopped giving a shìt.

    Mods, please don't lock this thread because of above post! :(

    well I think py2006 answered this for me. I agree that some women do this - likewise some men INSIST on buying - even if it makes the women around really uncomfortable. Do I think women and men should pay equally (within reason)? Yes. Do I think that not buying your round of drinks should disqualify you from voting? eh no.
    Long term unemployed do not contribute to society.
    Contribute financially you mean? not the only way to contribute. And there are plenty of people who work who detract from society and have a much worse effect on society than those who are long-term unemployed. But you're right - completely disempowering the more vulnerable members of society is the way forward. Let's hope you never find yourself without a job :rolleyes:

    This got me thinking. There are times were I feel I must buy the drinks for fear of being labelled an asshole for not paying for her drinks!

    There was one time where I didn't get a second date with this girl because we went to the cinema and I paid for that but on the way to the screen she said she wanted to get popcorn and coke. I wasnt hungry and told her that but that I would get her one if she wanted to. She said she would get it so I left it at that! I didn't get a second date because in her words, "I expected her to pay for the food". Isolated incident and not a regular occurence!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 810 ✭✭✭Laisurg


    No he said he was messing, still though..

    Here's mine: Farting, you men do it anytime any place without a hint of remorse. I don't need to be smelling your insides thanks.

    Double standards.

    Staring at tits - yes we can see you.

    Hairy backs.

    Most men need to learn what and where a clit is, google is your friend.

    When a man answers with a grunt he's busy and you are disturbing him, when a girl does it she's an ignorant bitch.

    Wow you really know how to pick blokes :pac:

    To be honest all my complaints would be about individual women rather than all women, I've never really seen a trait that makes me want to shoot myself or them in multiple women.

    Although I've noticed a fair few women who think they're far more intelligent than everyone else when they're actually thick as shít.

    You lucky man. Some boys would have found out what she is like months down the line.
