    This is that whole "women only like assholes" complex that some men seem to believe is true. Women like assholes because assholes are proactive and do fun ****, they also like nice guys, if they go out and do fun ****. The reason the quiet stamp collectors are mostly left wimmenless is because they sit begrudging people in fast cars actually doing fun ****. Fun **** is the key to fun, and ****

    This post should be put on every how to date women website on the internet so people like the op can get women.

    It's so simple.How do you think fun guys pull birds in a nightclub in the first place.It's not like they drove their cars in the door to show them off.

    Just have fun and keep your stories about collecting stamps and butterflies quiet until she feels comfortable enough with you to listen to your "quirks".

    Hi pleased to meet you, i am a stamp collector. Pretty sure this line will work in copper face jacks. I have scored there saying less.

    Everyone collects something, even if it's something intangible. The hoarding instinct needs an outlet. I'm sure there are plenty of women who collect stamps, but they won't walk up to you and introduce themselves as stamp collectors outside of a stamp collecting convention (do these exist?).

    ....out a wee pouch from inside his coat, and took out stones from it, and started explaining to our friend the power of these stones.
    Needless to say him and his little pouch were politely told to move on... Weirdo...
    Damned diamond merchants. That'll teach him for being so flash.

    Well, my guess, based purely on you op, is that women don't like you because you think so little of them, not because you like stamps!
    I don't even know if I know any women who like fast cars and are that materialistic!
    Honestly, can't think of a single woman I know who is like that!
    So it's got to be either that you have these ridiculous preconcieved notions about women, or else you, for some reason, are attracted to these types of vacuous gobsh1tes!

    QP I don't know where you are based but have you tried looking on http://ireland.meetup.com/

    You just might meet that someone special.


    Looking at some of the replies, there are an awful lot of DHeads on this site.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,296 ✭✭✭Frank Black


    Don't worry OP, there is a woman out there who will appreciate you for what you are.

    Unfortunately, she's fat and ugly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,656 ✭✭✭somefeen


    Maybe its not the stamps. Maybe you're a bit of a ****?




    Its probably something else though. Stamp collectors are sound as ****.

    OP you don't need to be obnoxious, violent and drive a flashy car.

    I'm mild mannered and unassuming. While I'm no Brad Pitt, nor am I suave and sophisticated- I've done OK over the years with the opposite sex. You simply need to get out and meet people. Be friendly, talk, laugh and be at ease with yourself. Soon enough you'll click with the right person and you won't have time anymore for your hobby!

    I do know some women who are that shallow and materialistic, I avoid them, but they exist. in my youth I had a flash car and a bucket of cash, ye get the ride often enough but none of them were really memorable as people, just a blur of alcohol soaked encounters with people I didn't respect and i suspect didn't really hold themselves in high regard if that's what they sought for fulfilment

    OP a little advice- dress well, talk in complete sentences, be polite,
    however, avoid - showy/tryhard clothing, talking bollox, being a doormat ,


    embrace spontanaity

    Oh yeah, I know they exist! I just don't know any personally. So my point was really that those types of values aren't something I've ever liked in a person, so I would never befriend them, and they would never befriend me. I'm never in contact with anyone like that - I guess you tend to radiate more with people you feel some sort of connection with.
    So the op needs to stop going for women like that, and stop assuming all women are like that.

    If this was a trailer for a raunchy comedy this would be the part were the announcer says " ...he may have a lot but the only piece missing in his collection is a tramp stamp."

    I find it difficult to meet women.

    Cheer up OP, it's not too difficult....



    ....If you're a G.Q. model with a wang the size of the Chinese sea monster's.

    Why assume that's the only thing that prevents you from getting together with women?

    +1.

    My Girlfriend Fiancee (dammit!) wife has never had any interest in my music, so when I met her I had to fall back on my good looks personali a freak accident of nature.

    I like fast cars, that's why I own one. :D

    Seriously OP, how old are the women you're going for generally? Like so many other posters before me have pointed out, these kinds of materialistic, vacuous and empty-headed ladies aren't as prevalent as so many men would have you believe. For me (and seemingly other people in this thread) it's not about what you have in your pockets, what you drive or what you do for a living, it's about attitude, demeanour and respect.

    I was out one night in a pub with a group of friends when this guy tries to chat up 1 of the girls in our group. He actually seemed sound enough until he pulled out a wee pouch from inside his coat, and took out stones from it, and started explaining to our friend the power of these stones.

    Needless to say him and his little pouch were politely told to move on... Weirdo...
    Genuine question.

    Would you have had that attitude if the stones were worth a lot of money... say they were diamonds, or sapphires, for example?

    Would you have called him a weirdo?

    I'm not criticizing you, just that our attitudes are themselves so strange... They guy had a harmless interest in stones, and because they were the stones that were not the stones enjoyed by onlookers, onlookers thought he was a weirdo.

    Do I know you? I do know a Jacqui, but I don't think that's you!
    I like Harleys actually, but yeah, I want one myself, not a man who has one! And I wouldn't swoon at a man's feet if they had one. (not saying you do btw!)
