Well today has been an education, apparently i am a woman hater who is overly sensitive and needs to deal better with women telling me to Fxxk off and move straight on to the next one. And they were just the guys comments.
Funny enough the ladies on the site seemed to comprehend where i was coming from better than most of the guys. I find that fascinating but still it has somewhat restored my faith in Irish women.
Aw jaysus i don't think i should go there, i have dug meself a big enough hole with the women of Ireland not to mind risking the ire of the whole of civilization
I don't go out 'on the pull'. Rarely 'chat up' people when i am out. I mean i get chatting to people but i am not necessarily chatting them up. (Does that make sense )
At the risk of generalising i sometimes find that because i actually listen to what is being said in a conversation that it is sometimes assumed to mean that i am trying to hit on the person i am chatting to. Often couldn't be further from the truth.
Actually you are spot on, I should have been a bit more balanced in my comments. I should have said that some of my best friends are women, many of my colleagues are women all of whom i have the utmost respect for and do not regard as muppets. Also i should have pointed out that i have met some great girls/women online and through life generally. Often things didn't progress romantically but we both knew where we stood and we had a laugh. If i come across as a woman hater than i have done myself an injustice, any woman who knows me would laugh at that suggestion. The incidents last night left me exasperated, i was blunt when i said what i said. I wanted to stir a discussion, being a tad provocative on these forums gets a better response. I have the utmost respect for Irish women.
Hi Abi Good to hear from you. I think if you look back at my posts i never criticised women for being choosey......hell i am choosey. As i said before i would prefer to be single than be with someone who i am not convinced is the right person for me. My rant was essentially about manners or more to the point lack of them based on years of experience.
I don't do giving up hope. I am an incurable optimist.....on this i would hope to be proved wrong. I am happy out being single, so was not moping or being miserable about being single. Of course i would like to meet someone but it doesn't keep me awake at night that i am single.
As for turning my attention to European women, that was my black sense of humour getting a run out. It was more of a sarcastic comment than anything else.
Just to clarify, i never go out with the expectation of failing.....if i had that attitude i would stay at home.....first impressions are key. I am well aware of my own shortcomings,no one is to blame or responsible for them but me. And my post was never about the actions of one......my post was about my experiences with many over a long time.
Absolutely no regrets about posting what i did last night, my experiences last night were what happened last night but are typical of what i experience on a regular basis. Its the whole reason i came to this site and others over the years.....thought if someone got to know me through mailing before meeting me they wouldn't be so quick to judge and things would be different.....doesn't appear to be, people are the same online as they are in real life. I posted me rant last night but really its been coming for a while.
As for the two girls who complain about a lack of dates when i know i have asked them out........I won't be revealing who they are.....its not in my nature to embarrass anyone.....I'm just going to say that people should not believe everything thats posted.
And as for those who say i generalised and resent what i said.....prove me wrong.....mail me, why should men always be the first to mail a woman.......we don't live in the 1950's.
Yeah i ask him every time and i ask him what he enjoyed most, says he has had a fun time and says he enjoyed different things each day so thought what i was doing was right but now this has me thrown.
I doubt it, he has an older brother and sister (not mine) so reckon he is not sitting around or bored there.....plus its spending time with me that he says is boring and sometimes says he doesn't want to come with me.
Thanks folks, much appreciated. Aims that would be great, i have tried a little arts and crafts with him but he has the concentration span of a goldfish and it didn't go so well. But i will defo try it again.
Biggles, thanks for the comment, much appreciated. I am doing the best i can but it worries me that his mom says he has said on a couple of occasions said that he doesn't want to spend time with me.
Just wondering have other single dads with kids in the four/five year age group have this issue?
Okay so i have a four and a half year old son, when we spend time together he tells me he has had fun. We play football, go to the indoor playground, play with toys and games, go to the cinema etc. However his mother tells me he comes home and says he is bored. When i am with my son its just the two of us, he and my nephew get on great but for various reasons having the two of them together isn't always possible. My friends have a little girl but he doesn't like her and tells me he doesn't want them around. I know he craves other kids his own age.......not something i can do. I can't take him swimming because of ear infections and i can't drive him too far because he gets car sick. So i need advice, what can i do to keep him from getting bored? I don't want him to begin refusing to spend time with me.
Absolutely agree with you on that one, he has to be on the ballot paper......I want to be able to have the choice of voting for him or not. If we don't have that choice then its a failure of politics.
I listened to his interview the other morning with Aine Lawlor on Morning Ireland and he made me feel very uneasy with what he said. I want to hear his views on the age of consent and his argument for getting rid of it and his views on relationships between young people and older people (even just slightly older) explained without all this Greek mythology mumbo jumbo. I accept and support his other qualities and abilities and want to be able to give him my vote.
Does any one have reservations about the comments David Norris is alleged to have made and the views expressed within those comments? I am open to correction here but as far as i know he has never denied making the comments but instead has said the comments were interpreted incorrectly......so how do you interpret his comments?
Been there, was in Dubrovnik, lovely spot.....not a hectic lifestyle but nice and unspoilt. Pebble beaches also.....not for everyone.....might ruin the whole sun, sea, sand and sangria vibe we want to have happening.
i think this deserves a poll, which holiday suggestion is more likely to result in a killing, Biggles lads holiday to destination unknown or Irish's ladies tour of Italy
Good thinking.....only problem i see is a load of lads would put their name down for stuff and not actually follow through with it and the holiday that you are hoping to go on would never happen. Plus trying to get a group of lads to agree on a place to go.....could be difficult. If you can do it fair play to ya. JMO
