    My favourite spot is always on Grafton Street, lunchtime. My gawd the amount of hotties...

    Fantastic spot, worked there for a few months, lunchtime was the best ever... *drool*
    It is the milky skin, the few (or a lot of) freckles, the mischevious smiles, the sporty bodies (thank you GAA and Rugby)...
    The ridiculously funny sense of humour...
    I could go on and on...:)

    The smiles are the best ever! Especially those ones with the eyes! You know the ones where their eyes crinkle up at the sides? Melts my heart! My OH has eyes like that, the best EVER!





    Edit:I'm very enthusiastic about my love for Irish men.....

    Irishmen have fantastic personalities, and do clean up nice-- when they clean up! Plus, as a Canadian girl, I adore the accent. The trademark "Irish" look appeals to me anyway (black hair, blue eyes, slight glint of mischeviousness in the eye!).

    I don't know. Every Irish guy I've met, good-looking, average, or ugly, has always had a very warm, funny, amicable personality that is just so easy to get along with. So honestly, it doesn't matter if you're "handsome" or not. I'd rather go with a below average guy with a great sense of humour who makes me feel at home than a gorgeous guy who's way too far up his own arse.

    Hey a Canuck! I was there very recently, out in Vancouver, it was really nice!

    We've got the charm alright, but looks wise? Not so much. Though there are a fair few Irish actor sex symbols out there. Loads in fact considering how small a population we are.

    Even as a bloke walking around Milan and places like you can see that Irish men by comparison are in the tuppeny hapenny place on first look. They're softer round the middle for a start(don't tell the BGRH lads;):D). Dress sense is less stylish here, though I will say your Italian men and many Latin types in general tend to pick a (age dependent) uniform and stick with it. The Italian male need to wear a sweater thrown casually over their shoulders is a mystery to me. They get older and the armani jeans and sports coat is much in evidence. Variability is not really as big as here from what I've seen anyway. They tend to be shorter too. The Dutch and the like tend to be much taller though. Now that said I did pull in Milan so... :D Though I've found that many chappesses in foreign climes thought I was either latin or french for some reason:confused: When asked further it wasn't my dopey head:) Apparently it was my skinniness. They assumed Irish blokes were broader.

    I reckon the attraction for foreign types to men and women everywhere are simply the differences. We're kinda programmed to seek out difference for obvious reasons.

    I will say this though. Irish men of a certain vintage and stature and girth, should not wear that uniform of long shorts over white stumpy legs. It's as much an affront to style sensibilities as belly tops on a fuller figured lady. Throw in sandals and socks and well.... Just don't lads. :D

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I kinda like that! Tbh I think I prefer someone who isn't completely toned and muscly and like...oiled up in some sort of weight lifting contest or something. Then again I think I'd just have issue sleeping with someone who's in better shape than I am. I'm shallow like that.

    +1 i love a little softness around the middle. I don't find myself attracted to muscley men much in person.

    If we're talking about attraction i would say for myself and a fair few other irish women that personality accounts for a lot more than looks and irish guys definitely have a lot of that!

    It's funny a lot of men think a big muscled bloke is the thing to aim for in the gym. It is but for a fairly small amount of women in my experience. Even very physically toned women seem to go more for the average "fit" guy, yet every bloke magazine has the oul "how to get ROCK HARD abs in 2 weeks" guff on the cover. Is that the only article they write? Seriously, next time in a newsagents find one of those muscle magazines that doesn't refer to "ROCK HAAAAARD ABS!".

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 118 ✭✭bennyblanco


    MAybe I'm biased but I would have to say that we,that is to say Irish lads,are deadly.
    I am personally devilishly handsome and infinitely humble to name but a two of my attributes.
    That is all :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28 LemonyFresh


    There are men of every race and nationality who different women will find handsome.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that. What is "attractive" is definable by varying terms from one person to the next.

    Also concur with the disinterest in muscly men. It has never done ANYTHING for me. I loves me someone to cuddle. I guess I like "built" or bulky type frames, but an oiled up six pack? Nah

    Personally I think there is absolutely no shortage of sexy Irish men populating this little isle. However, can't seem to snare one :o

    Tis all relative! :p

    Ok so speaking in general terms, they aren't the most aesthetically pleasing.
    But attraction has little to do with aesthetics, at least for me.
    The suggestion in a pair of twinkly eyes wipes the floor with perfectly proportioned features anyday.

    The question is - do you consider Irish men to be handsome? Now this isn't me or any of the lads fishing for compliments or anything, I'm genuinely curious. As a bloke I would have said that in general Irish guys are pretty average looking, neither seriously ugly or as handsome as the *insert nationality of choice*. There have been loads of AH threads comparing Eastern European women to Irish women, but how do us blokes stack up?
    Zaph, for all it's worth, we could all be wrecked, but god has blessed us with an accent and personality that goes down a treat when we travel. For some reason, an Irish man travelling in foreign lands stock is a lot higher than the competition. Thankfully. :)

    I dunno about the blokes, but in my humble opinion, I think we are more polarised that other peoples. By that I mean, our uglys really are wrecked, however our beauties are unbelievable. Seriously, beautiful Irish girls are amazing. Really, really, really amazing.
    And they're Irish, so tend to be great craic.
    Plus they get our little thing that others don't pick up on - like buying a round.

    I should know, I'm living with one :) Yea me!

    That's soooooo true. Overseas I can expect to attract a "higher" level woman than here.

    Meh, depends... Some Irish men are hot. The same as anywhere really - law of averages and all that. Just because, for instance, most Italians have dark skin and brown eyes doesn't mean they're all gonna be gorgeous and none of them are gonna be unattractive.

    And personality really, really can be a clincher. I mean, there are some Irish guys on this forum whom I've never seen but who, well maybe I'd prefer how they look with a paper bag over their heads, but I would very happily shag them based on what/how they write...
    If they were any bit hot at all, that would just be the cherry on top.
