    Ahh Jesus Chazz, does this have to crop up in EVERY thread? It ruins it! I get approached by girls and fellas all the time. Does that mean Irish people are more forward? No, it just means that in any country you visit you're going to meet all sorts of different people, and even when those people visit here, they're not going to be the same as they were back home, so all this nonsense about Irish vs. Foreign is utterly meaningless.


    All the time is an exaggeration right? I feel fierce unattractive with my 8 women in the last 15 years or so approaching me... not counting the "I walked by him 3 times in 5 minutes, what more can a girl do?" type behaviours.
    That's women who have in a bar, club or similar come over and so much as said "Hi."
    Frankly I think it's less than 8.
    and that was before I grew the beard which has received mixed reviews.

    You haven't found one who is enough to satisfy you. I wouldn't think that's successful at all. :pac:

    It's funny to see us women chat up guys, because they are actually(apart from me) usually quit **** at it... asking predictable questions like "how are things with you" or "how is your night going?"

    I don't know, the majority of dates I've been on haven't been arranged involving drink, by that I mean I'd have been asked by them in a different setting- colleague at work, the gym, local shops, stuff like that, although obviously on nights out guys will approach girls when they've had a few but I find its less about liking the girl or wanting to date them and more just part of the fun of a night out and if it leads somewhere then its a bonus. Same with girls too, well myself and my friends at least.

    In most cases though there was ongoing flirting/chatting for a few weeks before they asked so it wasn't just randomly approaching me out of nowhere. Only one time has that happened outside of a club or pub where I didn't recognize the guy from before but he opened with "I see you and your child every day when you're walking her to school and you're so beautiful" so I politely declined and walked a different route after that! :pac:

    A lot of men will try the wolf whistle or comments from afar maybe hoping that the girl will engage in conversation with them out of flattery or something but whenever anyone does that with me I just smile and walk on, I'd never really take it as a serious conversation starter or whatever. Like another poster was saying, in some other countries some of the men are mad for shouting at you on the street, it takes a bit of getting used to, but again I wouldn't see that as him trying to get a date, more just... flirting...if you can even call it that.

    As most of you are know, it's a breach of the forum charter to call people trolls. The report button is there for a reason, please use it.

    And then they expect us to be silver tongue charmers. :P So what lines do you use? Or is that a secret?

    I don't like them, Shopaholic. They leave your fingers too sticky, even when you use the little plastic spike.

    I don't agree with the OP here. I've been asked out on dates many times over the last 15 or so years by guys I was randomly chatting to - giving directions / travelling on the train / working with / served in a shop. I actually find the pub scene totally rubbish for meeting guys, way prefer to spend the night having a catch-up with my mates than on alert for available guys.

    Well, not ALL the time, but yeah, it does happen alright, and then I'm kicking myself when I have to tell them I'm already married :pac:

    Meh, ya hang out in gay bars it's kinda par for the course, to be expected really! :D

    I've been groped more times than I care to remember tbh, when you go to a club there's a certain level of expectation that you will indeed be groped. That doesn't make it right, it's just a fact that it happens.

    The only time I would've ever had to pull anyone up on it is when I was in a gay bar and there was a Kylie impersonator on stage giving it welly, and this chap behind me started pan handling my ass, I thought "fine, just ignore him and he'll give up", next thing he was telling his mates cop a feel, and I thought "ok NOW we're a little uncomfortable", but when he went for the full on reach between my thighs to grope my junk, that's when I had to turn around and just said "Stall the fùck on there would you? My ass ain't public property!"

    He got the idea and apologised and after that and he and his mates left me alone for the rest of the night.

    I think I've only ever had one woman who wasn't a prostitute approach me in the last 15 years, and even that was part of a dare. I was in a bar one night where a group of women were having a hen night. One of them was dared to shift the next fella that walked around the corner, which just happened to be me.

    A friend of mine was saying how the best kiss he ever had was from a woman on a hens night, he said he was either "the next guy" or else " the ugliest guy" but he didn't give a ****, I had to ask what he meant because I had no idea this was a thing :o apparently there's all sorts of games and lists :pac:

    When I told one of my friends that I've bought guys drinks on nights out he said that that's the saddest thing he ever heard that a pretty girl like me feels she has to buy drinks for guys, now he was exaggerating obviously, but a lot of people find it weird or desperate if a girl offers to buy a guy a drink, and moreso men too

    Ohh I've encountered all sorts on hen nights. One girl asked me to put my hand down her top while her friend took a photo of us. She even gave me a fiver for it. Another time a group of women tore my shirt off and licked my nipples. Women be crazy on hen nights.

    I think irish folk are just more laid back towards dating. When I lived in Canada asking someone out was very. .... formal. Kinda unsettling at first.
