any freekick romeos out there who could offer some top tips on charming the ladies? A “friend of mine” has been struggling in this department lately… even rohipnol doesn’t work these days (or so he told me)
You could do worse than look at what 'Ric has achieved recently. He pretended not to pressure Cassie into anything but the whole time he was hanging around her looking sad and eventually she took pity on him. I’m not sure on the whole looking sad part but there’s an awful lot to be said for stubborn persistence.
I’m sure you’re looking for something a little classier than Mrs Rock but I was very successful, surprisingly enough, with an old fashioned brawn effort. I used to hang out with her and we were mates but that was all. Then three Friday’s in a row I got in fights in UCD (once with a girl, once a normal fight with a bloke, and one cracking fight with this guy at the pool table which was renewed in the toilets and ended with me shoving him into the urinal). Anyway after these 3 weeks she looked on me in a different light. Don’t listen to what they say about a softly, softly approach. Birds love an aggresive stalker-type. Ignore court orders and the likes, that’s just a test of your commitment. Pick a bird and go after her single-mindedly until she’s yours.
Once with a girl??? What was going on there? And whats more did this mean that Mrs Rock looked upon you favourably because of this? These politican types are obviously not picky
Great story though. Think I heard it before. Reaffirms my (Del Boy’s actually) theory - at the end of the day blokes like birds to be birds and birds like blokes to be blokes
Be really arrogant, never fails. When I first moved up from the country I struggled in the big city, my nice guy approach got me nowhere, but after a while (when I had figured out how to use Dublin Bus) I grew more confident and basically never looked back. Even if you don’t feel arrogant - act it. Women are pathetic, they all say they hate cocky guys but deep down they want them because they will see it as an achievement if they bag the cocky guy.
Nice guys always finish last.
Incidentally baseball manager Leo “The Lip” Durocher, to whom the quote “Nice guys finish last” (about the 1946 New York Giants) is attributed, always claimed he was misquoted, and that he in fact stated “Nice guys. Finish last.” i.e. the fact that they would finish last was not related to the fact that they were nice guys. But whatever about baseball, in life I agree with BT.
It didn’t work for you in USA BT 
Anyway I agree with the whole arrogance thing. I remember once actually completely taking the piss out of a bird asking her what made her think she’s was good enough to talk to me and yawning in the conversation saying that she was boring me and stuff. She was loving it. Must actually do it to a non Claire Daly lookalike…
Was that the conversation i heard you having in NY? You had a similar conversation there, which i thought was very funny
Mrs Rock has in the past conceded that the fights were important, though I think she’d rather not dwell on the one with the bird. Can’t remember how that one started but she was thumping me and I was trying to give her a dead arm I think because I couldn’t punch her in the face.
That wasn’t the one I was thinking of. I don’t recall the one in NY but then again I don’t recall much of what happened in NY
Thanks for trying to help out with my problem sam.
Smell that…nice guy my arse. And she was a munter.
I took the arrogant thing a bit too far last night. I decided to act like an absolute gobshite (you don’t have to act says you) to all the new people who have just joined my place of work. Basically just slagging them off, saying that they were idiots and in many cases getting physically agressive. I’m pretty sure that I have lost one of them forever but there was one guy actually standing up for me saying ‘I’ve worked with him before and he comes across like that but he’s a good lad once you get to know him’.
All in the name of fun
