    With so many Eastern Europeans over here , male and female, and many of the female easy on the eye, and freindly to chat to, the problem is me and my freinds have found they only seam to want to "go out" /date there fellow country men . Have others found this, or are we just unlucky and lack the charm , and i wonder are the EE men so fussy - doubt it !!

    All them eastern europeans are racists. :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,683 ✭✭✭✭Owen


    Nope, I've dated 3 polish girls, and am dating number 4 now. The only thing you'll find is that Polish girls are a lot more clingy than Irish. And I mean, if you leave it a few hours without texting, etc, you're in trouble.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,598 ✭✭✭ferdi


    yeah, many a time continental girls are more....dramatic in terms of relationships where as irish girls are more easy going.

    obviously thats a massive generalisation but it has some truth to it i think


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,246 ✭✭✭✭Dyr


    Most of em are over here with the boyfriend from what i gather, presumably to iron his sleevless white t-shirts

    People just feel comfortable with the familiar I think, it's not that unusual for Eastern Europeans or people of any ethnic background to want to date each other. Im sure many Irish women prefer Irish men because they are used to the same society and social norms, religion, culture, language, whatever. Its the way of the world.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 555 ✭✭✭baztard


    I dated a polish girl for a summer. She was very devoted to her catholic principles, but persistence payed off in the end!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    I don't really see people by the nationality or whatever part of the world they are from but I haven't had a relationship with any eastern europeans and don't really see a problem with it.

    I'd just love to know what their thing for sitting up the front of the bus is. Must go back to the school days I guess?

    sitting at the front of the top deck of a dublin bus has a certain rollercoaster quality to it. its the combination of bad roads and dangerous driving. newcomers to the capital enjoy the noverly and thrill of it.

    I find Polish or whatever women to be a bit on the quiet side [obviously not saying all of them are]. but they seem more reserved or something


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28 Shauna21


    I just can't take to Eastern Europeans... for the men the women are grand because it usually the man that has to treat the women and face it they are not rolling in cash. so i always think that the men could not afford to date me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,598 ✭✭✭ferdi


    you sound like a real catch there shauna. 'no scrubs' was released 7 years back. catch up dear.

    And don't forget my own personal favourite : "the going over of speed-bumps in built up residental areas at 40mph!"

    I haven't been to Funderland in years as I get all the fun of the fair anytime I get on a bus : rollercoaster rides, pulsing dance music, shady characters everywhere you look and copious amounts of vomit.

    I noticed that too, a Russian friend of mine sits up the front of the bus all the time. I loved sitting up the front when I was a kid going to the UCI in the square with my dad before we got a car. Nowadays there are precious few seats I can tolerate sitting in without getting squashed. Why are the seats differently spaced?

    She got serv'd with a €40 fine one day though, got off it by breaking out in tears when she went to pay the fine though. Even got some free bus tickets!

    I have to say I have a thing for Russian girls, especially redheads *ducks flying rocks*. Accent really does it for me.

    I was actually going to ask the above out, but seems I left it too late as one day she regaled me with a humours anecdote about her new boyfriend. I really have the worst luck.



    TLDR.

    I got a good old chuckle out of this, GDW applies in this situation I think!

    Hmmmmm, I wonder if this is the same Shauna I know.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 425 ✭✭StephenInsane


    Seems to me that it's rare to see a sexy lil' eastern european girl without her massive masculine eastern european boyfriend.

    because if they sit down the back they'll probably just get abuse and\or in a scrap with the irish scumbags who sit down there.

    I heard on the radio a few weeks back a polish girl going on about how polish lads here were finding it hard to find polish women to go out with as most were going out with irish lads. She went on to say that some of the polish girls who do go out with the polish lads make them pay them an allowence and pay for their phone calls etc.

    Also a lot of the polish lads over here are married and have wives and kids at home. They tend to get married early, especially from the rural areas and are only over here to make their money and head home. Havent heard of many polish lads going out with irish girls at all.

    I don't think that is the case tho?

    I've seen it on empty buses too where they had their pick of seats. They could just as easily sit in the 2nd to front or 3rd to front (or even downstairs if they're really concerned about scumbags) but it's always row #1! Clearly many of them have some preference for the front seats.

    Sounds like both the Shauna's I know, must be something in the name. I get visions of Rosie Perez waving her finger and pursing her lips and she screams "You can't afford this honey!!!"

    Might have something to do with the fact that sitting down the back would see them joined by a few scangers in cheap tracksuits drinking cans and hurling abuse at all dem bleedin' foreigners.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 404 ✭✭Doctor Fell


    Well I'm married to a Polish girl, and most of the other Polish girls I know are seeing Irish guys. Curiously enough, not one Polish bloke I know is going out with an Irish girl. Can't say I blame them for sticking with EE girls though...

    Who said anyone wants t spend money on ye?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 289 ✭✭*Oul_Doll_Cork*


    I'm very happy with my Irish boyfriend, however if I was single I personally wouldn't be into dating someone from a different culture or who speaks a different language! I do prefer Irish men! Any eastern european men I've spoken to just seem to carry themselves differently, they have a different sense of humour and obviously a different culture which wouldn't usually appeal to me!!
    I can see why a lot of irish men are dating the women though! Most of them are really really ridiculously goodlooking!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,772 ✭✭✭✭thebaz


    i'd like a Polish girlfreind , apart from being good looking, they are meant to be loyal , and not as money grabbing as there Irish counterparts ... so i'm told ... been burnt too many times by "sweet Irish girls ".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,528 ✭✭✭TomCo


    Screw 'em man, cheap bints and even cheaper beer all the way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 720 ✭✭✭justfortherecor


    Are they not a bit gaunt looking. Im just saying this from experience of having a few eastern european housemates in my time.

    Without make-up they just always looked sickly, pallor complexion with sullen eyes.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    so do most Irish people.
    well, until recently. we're mostly fact hunts now with lots of fake tan.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,698 ✭✭✭InFront


    gaunt is a pretty attractive look imo. Not the most attractive mind you, but that pale, haunted, distracted look - a bit like Sophie Ellis Baxter or even Paris Hilton. The latter was recently described somewhere as looking lik 'an overbred greyhound'. I think this is a fitting but strangely complimentary and attractive description.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    Tomco: Id be very curious to know if its the same shauna we know ;) so you like the gingers huh tom! You kept that quiet around me you old dog! :p

    This evening on the way into work 3 eastern european people came upstairs, only myself on the top deck, they then promptly raced down the back of the bus. So depends on the person.

    In my opinion eastern european ladies are quite attractive. Never talked to one, just admire from afar.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,031 ✭✭✭✭Zebra3

    They probably speak English as well. ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28 Shauna21


    I didn't mean that I wouldn't date a guy if they were broke but with the Eastern Europeans Men its different I have met a fair share and I am friends with some of them but I see it so many times when we are out and they are chatting to girls they never offer to buy a drink for them and then expect the girl to go home with them.
    I know they are working their arses off to send money home but it is my own perference not to date them because face it you will be going out with a tight arse and I can pay my own way too but I wouldn't like to think I would be paying my own way all the time if dating a Eastern European. The Women are Fabulous Looking and they appreciate Irish Men because they treat them like Queens compared to what they are used to in their own Country, a friend of mine from Poland is with an Irish Lad for the last year and she informed me she feels like a celebrity doing the things that we take for granted when dating someone.

    Many people who have recently moved to Dublin like to sit there because they don't have an inbuilt clock that tells them when to get off. I've been here about 4 months and started sitting there for that reason. I now sit there when I can (When those damned EE's aren't hogging it), partly out of habit and partly because I like to have a look around.. Nosey ba5tard.:)

    Slightly off topic but. Buying a drink for a girl who you've just met is risky business. I know for a fact that some girls have a good laugh about lads who buy them drinks when there's no realistic chance of it paying off. I know that there are some girls that go out with the intention of getting eejits to buy them drinks (Mainly young silly, 'heads up there ar5es' types , granted). If I was meeting a girl out, I'd definitely buy drinks, but I'd be selective enough about buying for a random, so as to avoid being the butt of a joke.

    What I'm saying is that the 'Mainly young silly, 'heads up there ar5es' types' are ruining it for a lot of you genuine girls out there.

    I thought it is usually students and Teeny Boppers that use that trick!!! I think that is terrible.

    She take ma moneee, when Im in neeeeddd.......

    Sorry, but does anyone else who hears the likes of "Ive went out with 4 Polish girls" smell the scent of waffles cooking? Sorry, but I live in Blanch, where the East European population must be at least 15%, and I only know one guy who went out with one (ugly, skangery git of skinny junkiesque appearance, dunno how he got her). The rest of us have generally pulled one or two, but even they had boyfriends. OP, its not that they dont fancy Irish lads, its an economic thing. Think about it- if theyve a choice of sticking with an Irish guy who may have a decent enough wage but who will nevertheless be struggling to pay off a huge mortgage in under 10 years, or they can stick with a lad from the homeland whos going to stack up his construction money and then bring her home where she will live like the Queen of Lithuania, whos she going to pick? All this I went out with 50 Russians in the last year business, I can nearly count on one hand how many Irish men- obviously Easstern birds ive seen together. And Im not sure Ive ever seen an Eastern lad with an Irish girl.

    Anyway, feck it, the fact any Easterners we pulled were attached (mines boyfriend was passed out upstairs pissed ffs) says alot about loyalty :) All this catholic religious thing, bollix. Any Ive known have been heavy drinkers, more prone to violence than Irish women and like their pills and coke.



    As for drinks, we were locked in town and started waffling to some Danes in Temple Bar. Girl was complaing that the bar was closed and she hadnt enough to drink. Never one to want to see an attractive girl in control of her senses in a pub when Im trying to pull her I go and fetch her an untouched WKD my mate was drinking. Upon me giving it to her she asks

    "WHAT HAVE YOU PUT IN IT?!!? :eek: :D

    Jaysus, am I that scumbaggsh looking?
