    No,

    but...

    The continentals, see pale skin as an attractive thing, Italy at least.


    See that foreign guy all the girls fancy? Because of his tan and accent?

    Thats us in Italy, and its great fun ;)

    I think Irish people are a lot better looking than they give themselves credit for, but they sure are whiter than white.

    Well?

    It depends, some countries we are on a par with(germany,switzerland) others i think we are behind(italy,france,spain,sweden), but also some continentals darker complexions/tans hide the normal skin blemishes/imperfections that stand out on our paler skintones.
    Also they have better fashon skills both male and female ,that improve their overall look and make them look more attractive.

    Have only included countries i have visited,so cannot comment on others.

    The pale skinned blue / brown eyed Irish / British are quite popular with our continental cousins .Both races have their fair share of good looking attractive people to match anything on the continent .A light tan over white skin is just right .

    Irish men are in the running if inevitably behind. Irish women however are totally letting themselves down because they're trying to hard to like something their not. Little tip for the ladies tanned skin and blonde hair is genetically rare (if not non-existant?) so who do you think you're actually fooling with this double whammy fakery?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 18,300 ✭✭✭✭Seaneh


    Yes, and for a very simple reason, we have a very, very shallow genepool.

    Same things happens in smaller roural comunities in europpe though, in morzine (france) 99% of the locals look like they were smacked in the face with the ugle stick at birth becuase the whole bloody town is related to eachother.

    Go to Sweden during the summer, or Australia anytime. Lots of girls there who have natural blonde hair and tan easily.

    English men-cocky!
    Italian men-vain!
    French men-cheesy!
    Spanish men-romantic!

    And very attractive to .Some Irish people , male and female will try that bit harder to look and dress that bit more attractive, which enhances any natural good looks they already have .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,388 ✭✭✭jprender


    There is a reason why the irish drink so much. The answer is obvious.

    The whole fake tan, bleached hair thing makes the Irish girls look pretty awful. I would say we're more ugly than the Europeans

    We're doing average on the fatty scale of things: http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/hea_obe-health-obesity

    But we're doing pretty bad on the alcohol scale so our vision could literily be imparing our judgement on judgeing how hot we are: http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/foo_alc_con-food-alcohol-consumption-current


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,919 ✭✭✭✭Gummy Panda


    A lot of Irish women are sexy.

    Likewise a lot of women from other European countries are sexy

    if your from ireland you dont say 'than the europeans' thats what americans say, you live in ireland in europe so you dont say that. capiche?

    anyway in sweden girls bleach their hair as well and use fake tan.

    and well we have a small population so obviosusly less 'attractive' people than france, uk, germany, spain although what dictates what attractive is?

    we may not be as in the know about fashion and stuff as mainlanders but at least we have each other.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    Nope. French/Spanish/Italian girls are way hotter than Irish ones.

    I've met some incredibly hot Irish women.
    To me the most beautiful women are Irish...however it always seems that Europeans are way better looking on average, this is due to the huge population though.
    I say +1 to the Irish girls.

    Isn't that the problem? All the inbreeding?

    an irish example of this would be that of tinkers who all baschically look the same and ( hope this doesnt sound prejudiced ) rural protestants , who like tinkers all seem to be cousins married to cousins

    Wait why are you worried about sounding prejudiced against rural protestants but not travellers??? ffs


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 49 wonder.woman


    Well some irish men are very very good looking but i still do not think that they are better looking than continential guys!!!i am from Eastern Europe and i really do like irish guys, my boyfriend for the past year is irish,pale skin,cute freckles and strawberry blond hair and i love him!!!
    But i have to say that a lot of irish women are attracted to continential men! All of my Irish friends need their jaws relocated when we go abroad or to my home country!!!
    So i think it is all sbout what we dont have!!!:D

    so if wwe get lumped in with all other europeans and take out the swiss and compare them do we get lumped in as being more 'attractive europeans'

    no our women aren't as good looking. they're better looking come on the irish women


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,377 ✭✭✭An Fear Aniar


    It's the limited gene pool. Most Irish people are exceedingly plain. But then you have the Corrs, who each correct the balance for a thousand plain people.

    Seriously though, if an Irish woman is beautiful she's head and shoulders above other women in the world because she's usually got an interesting personality too.

    Also, too many of the menfolk have ruddy complexions.

    .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,525 ✭✭✭DanGerMus


    I'd take a Full Irish over a Continental any day of the week.



    :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,832 ✭✭✭✭JPA


    Jaysus, isn't it obvious what is happening.
    A lot of Irish men and woman like how some Europeans look.
    But that's mainly because it's something different, tanned, dark eyes etc.

    But they think the same about us. They love what's a bit different, pale skin, green eyes or whatever.

    A person we would find attractive would be the norm in their country and vice versa.

    You can't say one country is more attractive than another as it's all about opinion and perspective.

    "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" *pukes at cliché*
