Very philosophical

RE: Would you Date an out of work man ???

Thanks for the feedback lainey75, what's the general consensus on this? Anyone?

RE: Would you Date an out of work man ???

That's good to hear L! I'm all for the little things, a blanket and a field is all that's needed, and as you say it doesn't cost much to buy a bottle and muster up a picnic. Now if I just had enough money left to put diesel in the car I'm only winding you up now!

Actually I think CS should have a big massive picnic sometime during the summer! Now that's an idea! Everyone bring something and we all plank our arses in some farmers field in the middle of the country side Near a lake, no Aires nd Graces, just some good old fashioned fun, it would give the 'out of work person' who wouldn't be able to afford the Sherkin Island meet, a chance to meet with people Hmmm...

RE: Would you Date an out of work man ???

And I agree! But we're talking about 'dating' here, whereby two people are just getting to know each other ad all that jaz. You have to admit that there are certain customs involved that require a certain amount of money (I'm just sticking up for the out of work people here). Even in your own quote you say "Not all women want to be wined and dined all the time" suggesting that sometimes it is a necessary, and in my opinion it is when two people are starting to date. But unfortunately 'out of work people' at the moment can't do even the simple things. Anyone who is out of work will know that

But lets not put a dampener on romance, to borrow the Munster slogan "to the brave and the faithful, nothing is impossible"

Best of luck to everyone reading, I hope ye find what ye are looking for!

RE: Would you Date an out of work man ???

I can hear it now...Joe Duffy next week "thousands of out of work men are flocking to connecting singles to try their luck with the non-judgmental women there"

No but fair play! It's reassuring to hear womens views on this subject. Good thread RR!

RE: Would you Date an out of work man ???

It doesn't cost much to go to the cinema but some out of work men/women might not be able to afford that sometimes. It's not an excuse either, just a fact of life. We live in monetary society. You mean to tell me, if a man, who is trying to keep his home and pay the bills (not saying that's me, but a lot of people are in that situation at the moment) couldn't go out for a few drinks to meet your friends, or go away for a night, that you wouldn't lose interest fast. There's only so much hill walking or origami you can do Don't get me wrong, I agree with you. I'm not a materialist in the slightest but....

If you're not like that, you're one of a small minority and how you're not snapped up is beyond me

I'd bet my house on it, that most women would run a mile from me when they hear I'm a student, why because students tend to have little money. From experience! They just don't wait to hear me say "I'd bet my house on it"

RE: The last one to view you ....

And ye obviously wanted answers

RE: The last one to view you ....

Hahaha....very funny

Yes, yes and yes!

RE: The last one to view you ....

8 hours ago, very cute...I'd give it a go that's for sure :)

Jesus, eight hours ago and all ye women do is complain ye can't get a date here, c'mon now, time to pull the socks up

RE: Would you Date an out of work man ???

That's all very well, and some very optimistic responses...but...and this also relates to the 'Why are you still single' thread. I'm out of work. I did work in construction. Due to the downturn that changed everything. I'm now studying and half through a four year degree (yes the downturn hit some of us a lot earlier). So I'll use myself as an example here. Single man, lives alone, has a mortgage. When your only getting x amount a month and have to pay bills, there's little room for doing even the basic things sometimes, for example heading to the cinema or other such small things that are nice to do. I know this has held me back from getting involved, and there's a reason for that. It's hard to expect any person, man or woman, not to be able to do even these basic things. Sure you can go for strolls bla bla bla but realistically when a relationship starts, it involves going out, meeting friends, having dinner, a few drinks, weekends away etc etc...
All these things are a very big part to the whole romance thing. Sure you might say it wouldn't bother me, but when it comes to the crunch....

Thankfully I've just got a job! So does anyone fancy a date

RE: EARS..3??

Oh look, you did it! Oooops Why won't it work for me? It's driving me mental now at this stage...I've no study done

RE: Men, Could you go out with a woman who was physically stronger than you?

If the cap fits and all that...or in this case, the headlock

RE: taken the plunge !!

To be honest, the way subjects are thought at 2nd level won't help you one bit at 3rd. In fact it'll prob only make things worse for you because it's all rote learning. true there is a certain amount of that at 3rd level also but it's more about critical thinking, thinking on your own. UCC should run an access course as should most other major colleges/universities nowadays. I would advise anyone to not waste their time repeating the LC. It won't get you a job it most certainly won't prepare you for 3rd level. An access course should have enough subjects on it for you to get a feel for what you would like whilst also giving proper prep for the years ahead. Look into it! You won't have wasted your time

RE: in this day of equailty for men and women just want to ask this question.

Actually lol, I was a carpenter (always will be) before I went back to study

RE: taken the plunge !!

I wouldn't bother with the LC. Do an access course for third level. Normally run in the evenings and you will secure a 3rd level place through it + you'll be a mature that way also. It's also a higher level (level 7 I think) than the LC and prepares you well for lecture note taking, writing papers, IT skills etc. I did one three years ago. Best thing I ever did. Two years into a four honors now

RE: EARS..3??

Men...wait till you hear this fella

RE: in this day of equailty for men and women just want to ask this question.

Most of us men are here for the taking you know...just putting that out there

RE: Why are you still single ?

I'm single by choice for over two years now. The way I looked at it was 10 yrs. of relationships and I needed to get all philosophical with myself before committing again. the break has been the best decision I've ever made. Also, I think if you're clear of past distractions, when you do meet someone it gives the possible chance to 'fall in love,' provided the other is also clear of past distraction

RE: The CS Forums and you

I think yes, I care how I'm perceived and perceive...air your views honestly...but in a tasteful way. Some people don't know how. And there are obvious boundaries which one should be able to spot and not cross also.What annoys me are the people who shout their mouths off behind a screen and can't communicate properly face to face. It's all very well belting the qwerty! It's all about having a bit of class people

RE: Share a poem.

Do not go gentle into that good night
by Dylan Thomas

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
