Irish women - where are we going wrong?

    I brought this up in another thread but it was going off topic, so here goes again.

    There seems to be a disproportionate number of Irish men forming relationships with women overseas, yet there is a disproportionate number of Irish women who are single. I have nothing against inter-country/inter-racial relationships and have had a few myself in the past, but so many Irish women are single and can't meet anyone! Yet more and more Irish men are seeking relationships with women overseas. Where are we Irish women going wrong? I'm serious here, so would appreciate constructive advice/criticism only.

    I think a lot of irish girls can be unnecessarily and unjustifiably hostile which puts a lot of guys off.

    I remember one night being out and I was chatting to my mates, minding my own business when this woman who was standing near me said "A word to the wise, lose the tie".

    I wasn't quite sure if she was having a go at me or not, but you can imagine the reaction I would have got had I done that to her.

    I also remember being on an dating site and I sent my pic to a girl and her response was "With a picture like that, you can't afford to be choosy".

    Lovely girls the two of them :)

    it's simply because they are far more likely to talk to you and be polite when you go to talk to them. They appreciate people talking to them as they wouldn't be set in their ways here and have as many friends as they're not at home.
    Irish women don't seem to want to know you unless you're vouched for by their friends. That's my experience anyway.

    Hi, personally from what I have seen and experienced, alot of Irish woman are very unapporachable and to be honest, SEEM to be stuck up their own a?rse. I dont mean to sound insulting, but friends of mine have been told to f#ck off when approaching a woman at a bar or club and they are not sleazy drunks. Overseas women appear to be far more polite, more friendly etc. I wouldnt bother approaching an Irish female on a night out anymore becuase of the attitude ive gotten back in the past.

    How is this your relationship issue? RI isnt the place for a general debate and this one has been done to death elsewhere and with little good coming from it. Closed. If you can say it is your personal relationship issue please feel free to PM me or one of my comods to have it reopened. Thanks

    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.
