Aoife O'Callaghan
A 27-year-old Irish woman who has been single for nearly three years says she's been unlucky in love because she doesn't go out scantily clad or go home with men on the first night.Fed-up Aoife O’Callaghan who described herself as "old-fashioned" - blasted the state of today's dating scene and the expectations on women after they meet someone.
The 27-year-old said there's too much pressure on women to look "perfect" and hop into bed with someone not long after meeting them.
Aoife, an accounts manager, vent out her anger to Irish Mirror she's being overlooked by men because she's "normal".
Aoife, from Castleknock in Dublin, said: "I think I’m being overlooked because I’m not perfect, girls these days are expected to look so perfect.
"If you get talking to someone and you don’t want to go home with them straight away, that's it you’re gone.
"I’m pretty old-fashioned. I’d rather if I do meet someone on a night out - swap numbers and go on a date before going on to the next stage.
"But nowadays, if you don’t go home with someone, they immediately reject you."
She thinks she has met "the one" yet because she doesn't go out wearing skimpy clothes and loads of make-up like the women that men seem to flock to.
Speaking on the Ryan Tubridy Show on RTE Radio One, she said she would "be pretty simple" when she goes out.
She added: "I do my hair and I do my make-up but I wouldn’t have the likes of fake tan , HD brows, fake eyelashes, fake nails.
"When I go out nowadays and I see girls with next-to-nothing on, they’re size six to eights and I don’t know how because they musn't eat but guys just flock towards them immediately.
"And because I’d say I’m healthy looking, more than anything else, I go out with respectable clothing and I’m not a prude but I don’t have my legs, bum, boobs out on view and a lot of people do.
"Some girls are wearing nothing but bras and kinda short skirts out and I just find it horrific.
"I’m completely being overlooked because I’m normal."
She also said that if she’s still single in a few years it won’t stop her from achieving her dream of becoming a mum.
Aoife said: "It doesn’t make any sense for me to keep waiting and if I miss out on my chance to have kids I will be absolutely devastated."
Although Aoife would like to meet someone, she said that she refuses to settle.
She said: "I went through a pretty weird break up and it took me a good year to find myself and discover who I was. In that year I decided that I’m not settling."
