Thanks.
Some of the tips have been very helpful.

Do any of you recommend putting up a profile photo that is visible to the public?

You also have to contend with some bollixs of an ex boyfriend lurking in the corner of the pub keeping on eye on her, or her fat friend doing her best to ensure no one scores. This is particularly evident in rural parts of Ireland. You could end up tapping some young one who has had half the town inside her. No harm in trying on line dating. My own advice would be to spend your beer money   (100 euro a session  )   on a cheap ryanair flight out of your nearest airport to the UK or Europe 1 weekend a month and you`ll be beating them off with a stick. If not, just accept that you are an ugly boring f**ker that is destined for a long life as a batchelor. That, or you end upmarrying the town bike.

100% agree. Ireland is cursed when it comes to scoring. The Irish, both men and women, are incapable of flirting or chatting up or being brave when sober.

I lived in Moscow for a year, and you`d want to see them in action. It is perfectly acceptable    to chat up a bird anytime of day and anywhere and its also grand for women to approach men which generally doesnt happen here. Also there is no shame in getting shot down - the slagging over here never stops! Its the same in the US, where local birds are baffled and offended at being called `forward` by the Irish women. They arent being forward, they`re just being normal.

Ireland is sadly cursed with two species that ruin the whole thing
   (1   )    The middling-to-ok looking bird with a big arse who thinks she`s pretty like her friends. She isnt, but wastes no time making sure nobody scores on a night out
   (2   )    The drunk Irishman. Lay off the sauce lads, no-one likes a drunk.

the fat friend is known as the cóck block, the girl whose sole purpose of the night is to prevent her attractive friend from scoring..but you have hit the nail right on the head with that statement!

wingwoman and cock blocker - two new ones for me and my sheltered existence! Very funny thread this has turned in to. I would agree about the wing woman - women will think you must be `normal` if you have a female friend with you. I`ve come across a few cock blockers in my time too   (they didn`t appreciate it I can tell you  )  .

That`s why it`s best to have a wingman. He takes care of the cóckblocker while you stay on target. A wingwoman is a hundred times more effective though. If you have a female friend with you, you`ll be beating the girls back with a big stick.

One also has to contend with the male cock block. The guy who slips in out of nowhere trying to upset your target. Best thing to do in this situation is be a nice as you can to him and dont let him engage your target. I like the idea of a wingwoman but surely it has its drawbacks? Your wingwoman would be chatting to girls all night surely?

Topcat, you seem to be a great believer in internet dating. Have you managed to do the no pants dance with anyone you met online? or are you looking for a wife?
