Can't trust Irish Girls

    Irish women are really getting me down. I just feel I can't trust any of them in a relationship. I hear all the time of Irish girls cheating on their boyfriends and I myself have been with so many different girls who have boyfriends. For whatever reason Irish and UK girls seem to be a hell of a lot more prone to cheating than their european counterparts. I asked my ex girlfriend about this (from Poland) and she agreed saying in her current workplace every one of her irish colleagues that has a boyfriend has cheated. This is runining any relationships I have as every time I am suspicious. Asking my brother about it and he said he knows many friends who dont know their girlfriend has done the dirt on them and no one wants to tell them. I never want that happening to me. I dont want to have to move abroad to find a trustworthy girl but it seems in Ireland they are very rare. I suppose im just looking for reassurance?

    OK folks lets keep the irish women bashing to AH please.

    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.

    FWIW I've known a fair few non Irish women and I've known quite a few who have had affairs too. I've known both Irish and non irish who didn't too.

    I can say the exact same for Irish men but i wont. I will not tar all Irish men with the same brush and neither should you do so with Irish women.

    Funny how your ex who isnt even from Ireland would say that. I'm sorry but your post has made me so angry. If you wanna be paranoid from hear-say then go right ahead.

    Well I've been cheated on and disappointed by three women in my life. All were foreign. My perception could very well be on that small basis and on that evidence that "all foreign women cheat". I would be wrong.

    Depends what age you and they are maybe. I don't think nationality has anything to do with it...maybe aim for girls a little older? Maturity (or lack of it) might be the main problem.

    Could be. I would reckon IME anyway that women I knew who had a bit of a roving eye at say 19 were very different at 29.

    Yeah, in fairness it goes on across all nationalities not just by Irish guys & girls.

    Generally their are signs, have to trust your gut feeling as well.

    If your with someone and you've a bad feeling you proabably are right.

    You can't get paranoid, might be a bit naive at time but I generally would be trusting unless am given a feeling not to.

    Some people when their younger can be prone to cheat, it's best that they do then though than when their married.

    I've had 2 gf's at one time, I wouldn't do it again though, can only get away with it for so long.

    Least that I have I think I can see the signs, least I hope I can.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31 lynnmarie


    I'm irish and would never even dream of cheating on my boyfriend, also i'm only 20 so i dont think age is a factor either...
    If someone cheats it's because they have issues or are lacking something in their relationship, has nothing to do with nationality!!.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,952 ✭✭✭magneticimpulse


    Ive never cheated and neither have my friends. So i guess its just the circle you have met.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 122 ✭✭sarmer


    Ooh I'm so annoyed after reading this post!! Sorry OP but way more Irish men cheat than Irish women.

    Just for the record I know tons of Irish women who are nice, pretty, interesting and successful, and would never cheat (including myself). The problem is even though guys say they want this type of girl they still go for the b*tches alot of the time.

    But this isn't just examples from girls I know. It is from girls I have met, girls my ex girlfriend worked with and girls my brother knows.
    I can say the exact same for Irish men but i wont. I will not tar all Irish men with the same brush and neither should you do so with Irish women.

    Guys of all nationalities cheat more than their fellow women thats life and its not fair. I have never cheated and never plan to and to be honest if all girls started cheating like guys then I'd give up! Women are supposed to be above that, right or wrong.
    FWIW I've known a fair few non Irish women and I've known quite a few who have had affairs too. I've known both Irish and non irish who didn't too.

    from what I can see Irish girls are far more likely.

    Depends what age you and they are maybe. I don't think nationality has anything to do with it...maybe aim for girls a little older? Maturity (or lack of it) might be the main problem.

    I dont know if its age or just a cultural thing here and in the uk and America. It seems cool for women to cheat and get one up on men or something (sex and city etc.)
    I'm assuming you didn't know beforehand?

    No a lot of times it was during sex with comments like "so much better than my boyfriend," or next day like "oh i missed some calls from my boyfriend," that I found out. It makes me feel sick the next day that people do this (men and women by the way.)

    I'm irish and would never even dream of cheating on my boyfriend, also i'm only 20 so i dont think age is a factor either...
    If someone cheats it's because they have issues or are lacking something in their relationship, has nothing to do with nationality!!.

    So its ok to cheat if somethings wrong in the relationship rather than breaking up? Ive seen a lot of girls that cheat and stay with their boyfriend for security.

    Ooh I'm so annoyed after reading this post!! Sorry OP but way more Irish men cheat than Irish women.

    Same everywhere in the world. What upsets me is Irish girls certainly cheat more than other european girls. In fact if I was to list the worst countries for cheating it would definitely be 1.Ireland 2.America 3.UK from my experience.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,770 ✭✭✭Bottle_of_Smoke


    Everyone's got potential to cheat in them, depends on circumstances whether they do it or not.

    I wouldn't imagine its any different in other countries unless you go to Saudi Arabia where its illegal for a woman to be in the company of any male other than her husband, father or brother.

    I think you'd get even more insecure abroad as you wouldn't know her friends or speak their language.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,952 ✭✭✭magneticimpulse


    yeah the nice girls want the bad boys and the nice guys want the bad girls. when will the 2 meet in the middle? i know lots of irish guys that cheat on their girlfriends. not actually met an irish girl who cheats.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,420 ✭✭✭Lollipops23


    Wow. Just....wow.


    Ok,here goes. I've never cheated on a bf, I've never been cheated on (that i know of. Also I'm not counting silly little dramatic teenage r/ships,just the ones that have meant something to me).

    You cannot assume all Irish women cheat,when some Irish men cheat, as do all other nationalities....

    This post is slightly bigotted tbh, it's very unfair to tar an entire nationality with on brush.

    Well, yeah, it's fair that there probably are issues or something lacking.

    Some people can go thorugh their early years being honest in relationships but when their married they could be inclined to cheat.

    If they've done it while dating and they see they affect it can have, they mightn't when they are committed.

    It's definitely not just an Irish & UK thing anyways.

    Women have needs. Women can have commitment issues.Women can stray. Need I go on?? Doesn't mean we will all cheat though.

    Good lord how very sexist of you. We're not that easily influenced.

    No,it's never ok to cheat. That's coming from someone who you reckon is destined to cheat because she's an Irish female.

    You're basing that on the few women you,your ex and bro have met?You do know that there's 5.3 million people living on the island of Ireland,right??


    I'm getting lost for words here,can't believe how racist and sexist this thread is.

    So you've gone out with Irish women who have boyfriends?
    And you don't respect them because of it?
    And you think you're the innocent party in all this who needs reassurance that the big bad wolves of Irish women aren't going to break your heart?

    Well it looks like you've made your own bed. Either you lie in it, or run away to another country. However the chip will still be on your shoulder if you run away.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,398 ✭✭✭MIN2511


    Don't tar every Irish woman/woman with the same brush...

    Each to their own; i have heard of Polish women who cheat on their boyfriends as well...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,952 ✭✭✭magneticimpulse


    have to correct you, after living in France, ive seen far more cheating in relationships and it doesnt just stop there as we all know!!!!

    i cant believe you think ALL irish women are like that from a few people you know and what other people tell you!

    personally i have never cheated on anyone, am 30 and with my oh for 3 and a half years and he has never cheated on me

    i know girls that have cheated on their boyfriends, irish and not irish and i also know guys that have cheated on their girlfriends, irish and not irish.

    it has nothing to do with our nationality or sex and the city! :rolleyes:

    WTF So it's ok to talk this way about irish women but not foreign women?!..

    The op need's to get a grip.. Not all irish women cheat, open your eyes, some people cheat no matter what country they were raised in!.. Your narrow mindedness is just hilarious!! I feel sorry for you!..

    This thread is in serious danger of going astray and going AH. Grand there and in context, but not in RI IMHO. Closed.

    Mod hat off OP, trust or lack of it has no nationality. Not that I have found anyway.

    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.
