why do guys seem to love Spanish girls?

RingTheAlarm! · 02-04-2012 1:13am

Spanish girls are much more easygoing than Irish ones and not as ignorant like some Irish girls, whilst speaking Spanish or English. Also another factor (and many Europeans have said this) is the amount of make-up Irish girls wear is ridiculous.

To whoever mentioned "muffin-tops" guys aren't much better here either, we only have our drinking and heavy food culture to blame for that!

Well I love Italian girls because of their fashion sense and dark skin. Not as keen on spanish girls!

Maybe in Italy itself, but where I worked in Dublin most of the Spanish and Italian women wore clothes that cost less than my earphones. Alot of them looked homeless tbh.

They used to run like the plague whenever a Kris Kindle, a charity fundraiser or a birthday whip around was going about and all. Continental Europeans are fcuking tightarses, does my head in.

Irish girls (generally speaking), under 25 are not interesting people and most dont have a sense of humour that gels well with the average lad.

spanish girls have better attitudes and are exotic obviously than mary who thinks coppers is the best craic ever like.

I would like to challenge this if I may. There are plenty of fat Spanish people. I don't know why the Spanish have an apparent reputation of a slim nation.

Yep, they've actually got the highest rate for childhood obesity in the EU, so as fat kids tend to be fat adults this will only get worse.

This conclusion I have come to is that you go to a beach in Spain, you see forty/fifty slim, fit españolas sauntering around in biquinis and think "Spanish women are fit!!" Meanwhile what you're not seeing is the couple of hundred fat Spanish women peeking out at the hotties thinking "Skeenny beetch"

Yep, good old selective vision. I would still IMHO say though that in general the average say 28 woman(or man) in Madrid or Barcelona is of a smaller frame than the average 28 year old here. We seem to get "middle aged spread" here much earlier. More guys and gals that are slim at 18 are getting porky by 25. We've a small population too so we get fewer extremes. So while I would agree that you do see more gorgeous women in Madrid or Milan, you also see some serious, sweet jesus is that contagious munters too. Overall the Irish tend to be generally more "pleasant" looking without those extremes. We tend to be more solidly built overall as a population. You can really see that in airport queues. The Irish, UK and German lines tend to be stockier compared to the Southern European lines.

Just going by the Spanish girls I've known. One got to nine stone, declared herself a porker and went on a determinedly rigid diet to get off the apparent excess flab.

They wouldn't be alone in that. That would be a difference I've noticed in other countries(esp the Latin nations) compared to Ireland. You have more women(and men) here that self describe as "big/cuddly/curvy" when they're simply carrying extra fat. Our cultural cut off for porky seems to be at least two dress sizes/belt notches bigger. One ex of mine had a mate whose nickname(if they were being bitchy) was Gordita, little fatty. She was no bigger than a size 12. An Italian ex of mine had a similar sized woman in their group and again she was considered "fat". The rest of the women were size 6/8/10 and among their boyfriends/male mates there were maybe two who had the beginnings of a gut. That seems less culturally acceptable for want of a better word elsewhere again more in the Latin nations(though the Scandinavian and Eastern European nations would be similar IME).

Nothingbetter2d · 02-04-2012 8:33am

alot of irish guys prefer women from europe cos they don't paint themselves orange and dress like slappers. lose the fake tan, fake nails, and fake eye lashes and put more effort in to the way you dress. dressing like a drag queen is NOT sexy.

forfuxsake · 02-04-2012 10:08am

The make-up is a huge thing, they start wearing it so young that their pores get clogged up and their skin gets bad so they use more and more make-up to cover up.

I also like the fact that they take pride in what they wear. I hate to see girls/women in tracksuits unless they are undertaking some form of exercise. I was in the supermarket yesterday and 80% of the girls were wearing tracksuits. It is slovenly, lazy and grossly unattractive. (same for men)

Of all the nations in the world, Spain's wimmins certainly wouldnt be top of my list....some absolute crackers obviously but every country has that. And they get away with far more because we are so in awe of their fab tans.
As someone else mentioned, they are well tight with money, not attractive.

This is a generalisation. But generalisations tend to be generally true.

I was out and about in Dublin on Saturday night and the fashion sported by a fair number of the fairer sex was mind-boggling. One young lady had a dress that was so short the bottom of her ass cheeks were out the bottom of it - and she did not have a big ass....so the dress was hip length....

Saw a number of spanish-looking tourists bemused by the whole display.

It's not just that Irish men might prefer Spanish women it's that most Irish people, given half the chance, would swap our going-out "culture" for their's any day of the week.

Noticed that in Spain too, you get a lot of tarted up dolls about the place going to certain clubs and bars but they don't seem to overdo it, i.e. most of them have the figure for it at least, unlike in Ireland/UK.
I like that the girls don't wear tracksuits, I know they dress down a lot in Spain, but it's kind of cool in a hippyish way I think, their style.

I was in a pub a month ago and a gang of Spanish walked in, they all had the usual Spanish look except one, she had blazing redhair, a total knockout as well. They left and a few stayed behind to finish their drinks and I had to ask. Yes she was Spanish with Spanish parents, a future model I would imagine, if she makes that choice.

So in summary, 99% of generalisations are bollocks, except for this one.

Also for those talking about genes, there is no such thing as bad genes, just genes that fit the current requirements. Let me put it like this - sickle cell anaemia is a condition that only affects black people. Bad genes in black people right? Wrong, it also adds resistance to malaria.

TBH I find Spanish/Italian women way too stressful. All the drama and the shouting puts me right off them.
Their only advantage is that they live in a warm climate and so culturally they are more outdoorsy than Irish women and so appear healthier until their mid twenties or so when the high carb diet catches up with them.

Healthy is attractive, healthy people have more energy and are more fun to be around. Healthy girls feel better about themselves and aren't constantly complaining or digging for compliments.

Skinny is not healthy btw, skinny is to healthy what Anglo was to banks. It might look similar at first glance but in reality it's the opposite.

I don't get this at all. Spanish women just don't get on my radar at all, I really have never seen one that I liked at all. On the other hand, Italian women are very attractive in their 20s, but in the case of both Italian and Spanish, I feel that no matter how beautiful one may be considered to be, by the time they start ageing they all look like Robert Plant.

Latchy · 02-04-2012 3:20pm

With Italian and Spanish women ,they do tend to dress in a kaleidoscope of colours ie, greens ,browns and turquoise to go with the pearly teeth and tanned look but like any women anywhere and as they get older ,they have to work at keeping that youthful look and some will have good genes which also helps.

True enough. Oriental women tend to age a lot better than Occidental all things being equal and African lassies with their built in factor 15 can be hard to put an age on. Yer wan Iman has looked 28 for the last 30 bleedin years

Well D kinda a bad example. One mutation of the gene gives malarial resistance it's when two copies are present the fault occurs. In that case it would be a "bad" gene. As for other gene's not so fit for purpose? We're very good genetic detectives when picking sexual partners. We heavily select for advantageous genes and growth background. Women are very attuned to symmetry in males as it shows both healthy genes and healthy childhood expression of those genes' Men do similar while adding the youth signals. Both are more attracted to the scent of partners that have a different genetic background, particularly with regard to immunity to disease. This protects against incest for a start and gives any kids a better chance of having a wider spread of immune response. This can even be tricked. Israeli researchers noted one side effect of Kibbutz living in adolescents. Because they were raised together collectively both men and women looked to partners outside that environment.

Oh I hear that. That kinda stuff is much more culturally accepted. I don't think it's genetic or any of that shíte. Like red heads are supposed to be fiery. If you're a redhead and hear that all your life, you start to believe it, or get so pissed off hearing it you get fiery anyway, or you fall back on it as an excuse for being a knobend. It doesn't mean redheads are temperamental. But yea Latin women can be bloody histrionic and publicly too. Then again the men can be no slouches either.

THat's a biggy. I don't care how often some Irish folks claim the weather makes little difference and they exercise in all weathers. I have a name for them. Masochists. Actually I have another one. Nutters. You will go out more and for longer when it's nice weather. I'll walk the dog a lot longer if it's not tumbling down with rain. Hell he's got built in insulation and when it rains he'll look at me with plaintive eyes blinking against the drops as if to ask "WTF" while turning around and pulling me home.

Healthy is attractive, healthy people have more energy and are more fun to be around. Healthy girls feel better about themselves and aren't constantly complaining or digging for compliments.

Yes and no. Now this is just personal experience here of course, but among the most bodily insecure to the point of exhaustion women I've known were hard bodied gym bunnies. They felt they had more to lose maybe?

http://www.alleydog.com/glossary/definition.php?term=Observer%20Bias

Someone that has decided Irish women are predominantly overweight and unhealthy without any objective evidence to support this will start focusing on the overweight and unhealthy women they see as evidence to support their convictions.

Same thing with the drunken paddy stereotype, someone sure that Irish people are drunks will completely ignore any day to day evidence to the contrary until actual research is waved at them, and even then it can be difficult for them to let go of their bias.

I avoid generalisations like the plague myself, "men are", "women are", "Irish people are", all are invariably proved wrong for many cases. Except the one about Australians, that's true (hi Xavi!

Ah I don't buy the weather as an excuse for being out of shape. Fine, a lot of people perfer to be out in the sun, no question there. Personally I don't mind the rain as in all my happy childhood memories, Christmas, Summer, Halloween etc its been raining but I'll accept that I'm in the minority.
However since the invention of buildings, its been easy enough to exercise and do sports indoors. There are plenty of countries that are bogged down in snow for a quarter of the year that still have a healthy culture of indoor football/vollyball, swimming etc.
Anyway, dislike for rain is something you teach yourself I suspect, I'v yet to meet a toddler that doesn't take great pleasure in jumping in puddles or just getting covered in mud in general.

That said we do drink more per head per year than many other countries and have higher stats on alcoholism, so there is something to this meme. I've been on the piss(no pun or irony) in a fair few European cities and Ireland and the UK really do stand out for the monged off your tits crowd walking the streets. You certainly see significantly less absolutely blotto women elsewhere that's for sure.

True, though those same countries tend to also have definite seasons. I think that's the problem with Irish weather. It's "meh" all year round as a general tendency. I mean you could wake up from a coma and look out the hospital window and without looking at a calender be really in a state of confusion as to what time of the year it was.
