Posted: 10/23/2009 1:36:02 PM | Lauren I'm from the lake district but I don't feel that ones origins denote their character, I feel that ones character usually shines from within for instance I can't see folk so I cannot tell what anyone looks like so I am forced to rely on peoples personality's in fact I can probably understand a persons inner characteristics better than a sighted person who is usually clouded by the persons appearance.
I shouldn't worry too much about what people think or say about you too much.
good luck and happy fishing

Sweet and lovely as your post is, the issue is not about being so blind you cannot appreciate the holistic vision before for you...hmmm, now that I reread what you and I wrote perhaps that is the the ultimate issue.
The reality is that in the confines of the greater metropolis that is the encompassing majesty of the community of fabulous and utterly amazing Dublin... snobbery is ever so slightly rife, the worst of it being reverse snobbery.
To all intents and purposes, I can be viewed as a manifold manifestation of the confused ideals of snobbish middles class liberalism but should someone examine who I am a little further than their initial impression of me ..informed by my address or particular circumstance in life ..it's possible that that they may value me as a good person..
I know in my heart that someone's address tells me a lot about them...a lot of crap and studied prejudicial bull haha...honestly, you need to be wary of those who make you feel less of a person because of the circumstance of your birth or where you went to school. I have a particular fondness for down to earth people and I know that they are a someone I can encounter from all walks of life, down to earth and being natural is not confined to how much money or where your address is, nor the history of your parents.
I was brought up as very middle class in a very affluent area of Dublin and I remember being accused of having an easy life and being given everything on a silver platter...all true to an extent, but the people who thought I was better off than them had no idea of what my life was all about or my own personal difficulties, they just assumed I had an easy ride which I didn't take advantage of - they may well have been right but, however I've lived my life it doesn't rule how I feel about people from other walks of life..one of my best friends was the niece of Mary Robinson's husband..she babysat for her uncle's kids in Aras on Uactharain...does that make me an ***hole? | |

Posted: 10/24/2009 3:33:59 AM | Well I was chatting to a guy on here for a while - told him where I lived and his response 'Oh you must be posh then' and I havent heard from him since! So yes it does happen.

Posted: 10/27/2009 4:56:29 PM | you know when i saw this i presumed it would mean you were from a rough part of dublin, not a posh one and you know they are right where you come from shouldnt matter in these instances and well if someone finds it such a bad thing then they are too narrow minded and obviously not worth the effort anyway
a relationship is about the chemistry of two people not whether they are from the right areas or not | |

Posted: 10/30/2009 2:40:42 PM | Where you grow up and the people around defines part of who you are. Im from Dublin 1 /3 and a girl from a rich area in the southside who grew up with plenty of cash probably is used to different things than me, goes to different places and has different values
It in no way makes them better or worse but yeah you may be posh. No harm there.
Opposites attract after all  | |

Posted: 10/30/2009 2:52:08 PM | | Lauren I know exactly what u are talking about. I have had this judgment also as Im well spoken, and from a good area of Dublin. Its something that some people have an issue with. I wouldnt think they are worth knowing if they want u to apologise in some way for being from a good background. I read ur profile and u seem like a really nice person, so go for it girl and dont worry about the begrudgers. | |

Posted: 11/5/2009 4:03:16 PM | can i just ask why some people are refering to where they were brought up a ''good'' area.
all dublin is a ''good'' area its the people and the opportunities that make it a ''bad'' place if u want to be petty | |

Posted: 11/7/2009 4:41:57 AM | Lauren, if the worst that ever happens you is being called posh, I think you are doing ok.
Bit of perspective here maybe!
Unfortunatly its a symptom of a modern (previously) thriving society. People have come to expect what they want, when they want it, including partners! Sadly too few are willing to chat long enough to actualy get to know someone. So dont sweat it, any fish worth catching will have made an effort to get to know you. Good luck with that... | |

Posted: 11/16/2009 2:48:24 AM | | If someone judged you purely based on where you come from... well, they're a bit of a idiot. You should be glad that they've shown their ignorance so soon, so you don't have to put up with them. | |

Well at least Dublin has coppers and Flannerys, where a culchie can get there fix of conversation about tractors and GAA or meet a nice nurse, for a break from the Heino drinking collar upturned masses. | |

Posted: 11/22/2009 7:48:24 PM | Every single person I've met who hailed from Cork is lovely, there is something so nice about all of you and it's not just the accent which I love in all it's variations, I think people from Cork are known for being especially nice and funny.
My favourite Irish people come from Co. Mayo but it's because I lived there for a time and I know my impression of them is right, Roscommon people and those from Wexford are great too and Sligo people also. I always make the sign of the cross when passing through Athlone town and pray to God to keep my soul safe - it's lunatic central there.
And Kerry is truly the Kingdom of Ireland..all the natives there are royalty.
We're all as marvelous as each other, the landscape may change but we're still the same..inspite of that sameness.. Dubliners are more sophisticated and urbane than anybody else. | |
