    Foreign women (especially the Brits) love our accent.

    Whisper the words 'Thirty three' into their ear and you'll have them wetter than an otter's pocket!!!

    Will you be their Irish prince Biggins :D
    A casual browse through dating websites, particularly those based in the US, and you will see many similar posts from women looking for an “Irish prince” or a “gorgeous Gael” to come and sweep them off their computers

    Pretty positive article overall I'd say. Nothing particularly insightful about it. Seems like a lot of American women have watched "P.S I Love You" one too many times and have some mythical perception of Irish men based on the Hollywood stereotype. One woman is looking for a man that plays bagpipes or at least appreciates the sound of them. Ehhh....

    The definition of a gentleman is someone who can play the bagpipes....but doesn't

    Oh it is, the Brits love our accent, they think we're so cute....well I won't be so cute when I'm trying to 'introduce' a finger into yor botty later on :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,485 ✭✭✭✭Ickle Magoo


    Oh they don't...well, not in my experience anyway, they just laugh at the whole turty-tree skeedlee-adle-eee stuff - the general oirish accent is lovely tho.

    Eh, you won't be introducing a finger anywhere near my person but, eh, thanks for the kind offer. :confused::D

    Don't do it Paul! She's only marrying you to get an easier to pronounce surname.

    Anyway back on topic, the first lady in the article sounded like a right bunny boiler....what's with the bagpipe fetish???

    Is it not more of "uggggghhrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" sound? When I lived in Edinburgh, I'd stalk the guy playing the pipes who was a permanant fixture on Princess Street and imagine him whisking me away Rob Roy stylee. Lets face it, Scottish men blow Irish men out of the water on the "sexy, rugged, Celtic man" front.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,482 ✭✭✭✭Ush1


    I'd say they have a nice stereotype image....

    ....But then see a load of hefty ginger lads puking outside Coppers or somewhere in Temple Bar. Dreams shattered.

    Why go foreign when you can go Irish instead, it's a recession, we need to be concentrating on home grown stuff :pac:

    And yet here's me married to an irishman - go figure. :D

    You mean drunken, unshaven, barely legible front - don't you? :p

    I would have said there just after there wallets...But we are in a recession so maybe its there passports...

    But hay...if they want me they can have me. They can blow my trumpet to...

    Irishmen are sexually repressed. They act out their forbidden fantasies on boards but that's it. How many of you in real life asked for a golden shower or some S&M ? Accents are good for about 2 seconds, the same time it takes for a Irishman to come.

    Yeah, but if they're from the Falls road, for wetness - whisper 'thirty two'.

    Pftt...Yeah right.
    They wear skirts and are still owned by a Queen.
    Irish men saw off 'Perfidious Albion' in sexy, rugged style.

    Their not all Paolo Nutini you know.

    Irish women may find scottish men more appealing than irish men, but Im sure the same could be said about scottish women thinking the irishman is more 'sexy, rugged, Celtic man' based purely on seeing Colin Farrell in a shoddy film.

    Im generalizing here when I say this but both men and women like what their not surrounded by.

    Women from the north like the southern Ireland accent when the same is with us liking the northern accent.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,598 ✭✭✭✭prinz


    It was always a bonus abroad but when foreign girls get a proper exposure the novelty tends to wear off pretty quickly tbh. I know plenty who have left disappointed.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 78 ✭✭OptimashPrime


    they didnt go too hard on Irish men and 2 of the women interviewed had completely opposite opinions on Irish men. one said they werent very gentlemanly in opening doors etc the other said they were very gentlemanly

    i would say we have a good mix of guys here. we've got some great looking guys and their sense of humor is second to none. no complaints out of the ordinary.

    i can spot the Polish guys a mile off with the crew cuts and over bulging muscles. each to their own i suppose

    Yeah...and even Paolo Nutini is about as rugged as a set of Pom Pom's

    A few years back, i had to contact a company in the US over a dud, rather expensive, pocket knife.

    Soon as the woman in charge of warranty repairs found out i was Irish, she sent me a replacement free of charge, told me how much she loved PS I love you, and asked me to take some photos of the local scenery.

    It's all Gerrard Butler's fault.

    No way man, present gf is Polish before that Lithuanian, German, Dutch, Argentinian and German again. Haven't dated an Irish girl in 10 years. Could not see myself ever going back to Irish women


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,736 ✭✭✭Irish Guitarist


    ‘I want to marry an Irishman.” So says one American female who has posted her profile on one of thousands of internet dating sites. Elaborating, she says that her ideal Irishman will be ready to have babies, will be family- oriented and hard-working.

    She needs to learn some basic biology.

    Same here. Most Irish women are more like Irish men (personality-wise), getting to be too American. Where have all the lady's gone?

    How come you never hear about foreign men loving the Irish women and their accents?!:( It's always how gorgeous Irish men are to foreign women!! I'd like to hear a foreign guy's opinion of us Irish lassies!:p

    Too undeservedly demanding at times would be my guess.

    But at the same time, I hear that Foreigners love Irish women (in my personal experiences):pac:

    Well, with women like you around they wouldn't want to last longer.

    The American women in the article are embarrassing...Bagpipes? Really? :(

    I agree with the view that Ireland doesn't really have a dating culture and that men generally don't approach women outside of a pub/club (i.e. alcohol-soaked) environment. But if some of the threads on this site are anything to go by, Irish women think it's weird to be approached in the supermarket or on the street, so I guess that isn't surprising. The situation in the US is totally different, and more than one Irishman I've talked to about it like how direct American women are as compared to their Irish counterparts. That said, I think that you are always a bit more of a hot commodity on the dating scene when abroad, simply because of the novelty - I'd bet a lot of Irish guys experienced this in the US, and as an American, I've definitely experienced it in Europe.

    Personally, I think Irish men are great fun, although I am always astonished by how much people drink on an average night out. I don't see as many drop dead gorgeous men on the street in Ireland as I do at home, but the accents and the sense of humor more than make up for it. Plus Irish guys aren't as neurotic as American guys, and at least when they complain about stuff they try to be funny about it, rather than just whining. And despite the "lads on the town" machismo that you see a lot of, a lot of Irish men are surprisingly sentimental. But that's just my two cents.

    Haha well you get your numpties everywhere.
    And despite the "lads on the town" machismo that you see a lot of, a lot of Irish men are surprisingly sentimental. But that's just my two cents/

    I was just saying this to my sisters the other night....Irish men can be terrible saps really and I really mean that in the nicest possible way. You fellas here in After Hours don't fool me for a minute. It's all talk and bravado a lot of the time. I find that's men in general though...not necessarily Irish men...I guess it catches you off guard with Irish men more because you don't expect it.

    Just wish they were more gutsy sometimes and Irish women for that matter. We don't like to be approached because we aren't used to it Southsiderosie and the ones that do are usually drunk or sleazy. Catch 22. Wish things were more like America on that front.
