evilbore ladies: explain the 'celtic' thing

[Van Cruncheon]

normally, i try to keep observations of gender and the stereotypes thereof to only those directly solicited from me. however, i gotts ask: why do chicks seem to universally love celtic music/art/imagery? (and if you are one of the chicks who don't, why do you always have a thing for southwestern native american knick knacks instead?)

i mean, jesus: i can't piss standing up without hitting one of those stupid interlocked curlicue designs or celtic cross necklaces or a stack of enya albums. i know half of you keep a long, flowy print silk dress -- probably green with a floral pattern -- you periodically wear while gazing at the moon. why is celtic shiz so appealing?

EXPLAIN PAPANGETTES.

[Madrun Badrun]

They like the all natural shirtless men that go along with that culture.

[Van Cruncheon]

we have a fellow at work that wears a scottish manskirt. he's a total smelly ponce who thinks gimpy fashion makes him worthy of attention. i also saw a dude in the qfc parking lot wearing a manskirt. he too looked like a faux-rebellious yucktard. don't be like these guys!

I only plan to wear it around the house.  Air conditioner on my ball!

B:   ...at least half of it.

[Van Cruncheon]

so you're saying those designs are some sort of gay bearcub solicitation? duly noted!

[demi]

He's so hot, dude.

[Saint Cornelius]

there's not one fucking lady in this thread.

[Himu]

I don't know why I like celtic music. I was just listening to Chrono Cross and Suikoden ost's and I realized, HEY I LIKE THE SOUND OF THIS so I have accepted the fact I am a total cigarillo who likes the sound of celtic music.

[demi]

[Flannel Boy]

The Cetlics suck. They haven't been good since the 80's!

[CajoleJuice]

I didn't realize you pronounced the team and the culture differently until I played Age of Empires II.

[Cyanista]

I don't like celtic art or native american knicknackery. 

[brawndolicious]

aren't you irish?

[Cyanista]

Me?  Hell no.  At least. . I don't think so.

[whiteACID]

I don't like that shit and I don't see it around these parts very often.

[G The Resurrected]

Yeah I've noticed your trend in women. Its one or the other never both.

And fuck you I used to wear a kilt a lot as a kid. I'm scottish damnit. And when I get married, you better know I'm walking down the isle in a victorian scottish royal getup. Wonder if they make kilts in my size though.

[whiteACID]

Scotlands full of fatboys, I don't think you'll have a problem finding one.

[Cyanista]

You aren't scottish enough to wear a kilt unless you were born in scotland, man.  Also, you are. . .wait a minute, who is going to marry you?  Have your dream.


Scottish dudes are dead sexy when they break out the tartan 

[Saint Cornelius]

[brawndolicious]

I wasnt born in scottland, but its just a dream to have a traditional scottish wedding. I went to one many many years ago and it rocked. And its part of my background so why the hell not. Its that or a Irish wedding.

[Flannel Boy]

Swedish meatball.

[Powerslave]

Celtic music fucking rocks.

[Van Cruncheon]

hey, i'm 1/4 welsh.

[Flannel Boy]

hey, i'm 1/4 welsh.

I'm so sorry.

[Van Cruncheon]

as for the womenfolk, it must be a WA state thang. my wife, mother, daughter, and sisters-in-law all have a serious thing for freakin' celtic, er, content. i cannot fathom it. when i ask WHY CELTIC they say "it just puts me in this mood" and i roll my eyes and next thing you know i'm on the porch in a sleeping bag and trying to pick up a wifi signal

[Madrun Badrun]

 

[Cyanista]

They're all trying to reconnect with their scottish/irish heritage.  Like G.

[Van Cruncheon]

i don't think you could fit my entire extended family inside g

[Van Cruncheon]

hey, i'm 1/4 welsh.

I'm so sorry.

yeah, me too -- it kinda kills that nordic purity thing

[Flannel Boy]

You're 75% Nordic and 100% pure awesome.

[Van Cruncheon]

Want to go to Tim Horton's?

A guy in my operating systems class wore one to the final.

was he known as the "cool guy" in the class? 

[Human Snorenado]

I can explain this one. 

Women are more apt to be fruitbrains and like shit like new age music.  Then they'll hear that new age music is based off of celtic music or it sounds similar or some shit.  Then when they find out that the celts were all pagans, they think "oh that's so cool."

Basically, you can pretty much guarantee that if a woman likes celtic music/"culture" she likes crap like new age music/"beliefs" and paganism, and that she has brains the consistency of a fruit cup.  My mother is a perfect example of this, although our family IS heavily Irish on her side and she's been a couple times, so I guess there's SOME connection.  I want to go to Ireland to show them that Americans can drink.

[Van Cruncheon]

but my wife and my sister-in-laws are anything BUT fruitbrains -- yet they love celtic stuff. your theory only works for a subset of women! there has to be something DEEPER. this calls for DrMiletski!

You want to summon her from her dungeon of earthly delights, where she's no doubt turking TVC with a strap on soul pole? 

The horror, the horror...

[tiesto]

Yeah I've met a lot of girls when I was in college into tarot and new-agey type stuff. And a few into Enya, didn't realize that they crossed over THAT much. I guess its just another trend girls jump on to try and look "deep".

[Mandark]

At first I thought this was gonna be about Celtic names, and how PP was changing his daughter's name to something cooler, like "Ripley Dana Barret McGuirk Erickson" or something.

Sounds like a left coast thing to me, though.  Haven't noticed that around here, and I hang out in places that gave Nader more votes than Bush.

There are no cool guys in an operating systems class. Not even the dudes from the swimming team who set swimming records for their foreign countries.

I think it has to be a Washington thing. I noticed it a lot more back home than I have down here in Los Angeles.

[Yeti]

tatoos of celtic designs are the new tatoos of asian symbol.

[xnikki118x]

I never got into the celtic stuff.

[Fragamemnon]

My wife loves the Celtic stuff too, from the jewelry to the music (but not the clothing/appearance thing), and she's one of the smartest and down to earth people I know. It sorta stinks because while I don't mind the music, and do like some of it (The Pouges, Afro Celt Sound System, Dagda), the minute any of my favorite stuff (90s shoegazer and punk) comes on the volume gets turned down or the remote goes to the next playlist button.

We need a support group where we sit around and drink Fat Tire, listen to butt rock and unreasonable volume, and make drunken mockery impersonations of NPR's Fiona Ritchie.

[MrAngryFace]

God damn the grocery stores around here have fucking STACKS of Fat Tire and other assorted ales sitting right when you walk towards the beverages. The temptation is STRONG.

[etiolate]

i like celtic things and red headed irish ladies

no good beer comes out of the east compared to the west, even at the BEER STORE I get sad and have to buy expensive imports because the domestic stuff sold here is SO BAD.

[MrAngryFace]

Why is that?

Naw, drink Sierra Nevada, listen to 80's metal (but not hair metal), though my friend would say you should only listen to Zakk Wylde/Ozzy when drinking Sierra Nevada, and then drunkenly slamdance instead.  MEN, FUCK YEAH.
