just watching this now on TV3,

I feel sad for Mairead (i think it was her in the green dress) she left her light on for the first few fellas tonight and had her light turned off by both when it came to the whittling. She seems like a nice girl, would have picked her if I was on the show!

in fairness its type thing all the guys would laugh at in the pub! Just poor judgement in using it to impress girls. That said other than that he seemed like a sound guy so surprising not one person least give him a chance.

Terrible example there caseyanne, Brand & Perry make good couple as neither of them are ugly and sure didn't the most popular girl on the show (Sinead) say that Russell Brand would be her ideal date?

And there we go with examples and differences in taste,I find him foul and ugly and would rather be a nun
She said for a laugh.And you cant condemn people for bad company taste
I would rather go on a date with bertie a hern :P

I was quite shocked when they cut off the guy with the curly hair. Now thats when i call them fussy :rolleyes:

When people say knackers round where i come from theyre referring to skangers/scobes/howiyas whatever you want to call them.

I thought our guy with the braces and pants only (stripper?) got his pick right up to where he decided to go on a date with Eleanor, shes pretty and seems fun but isnt Lorna just waaay hotter ? Seems to have a brain too or is that just me projecting

Yeah I was thinking that as well. Not only was Lorna way better looking than her, she also didn't act like a 10 y/o brat and didn't have a horrible culchee accent.

No, but they should realise the greased-up stripper they are gagging for has got his pick of the supermodels and they'll remain forever alone while waiting for him to come along or they'll have to content themselves with the occassional grope at a hen night until maybe they get to 35 and are all bitter that matthew mcconaughy hasn't swept them off their feet and then before they get all dried up they take any old blathering idiot that comes along so they can have a kid before it's too late and bring up that kid in a nasty loveless marriage, yes I blame these girls for the breakdown of scoiety


The laws of the jungle state that people of similar levels of attractiveness usually end up together - the sooner the delusional ones amongst us realise that the better

this is correct. god help them. it can have severe negative effects on the 'not so tough' male, finding it more and more difficult to mate, and keep up with their unreal sensibility. a resulting factor on young male suicide in ireland. i'd also blame american media and its warped ideals.

That's actually quite interesting because I already mentioned something on this thread about the link between Irish women's attitudes and the high percentage of Irish male suicide. Of course it was fobbed off as you would expect:

Don't think you can really connect Irelands male suicide rate with fussy Irish women.:rolleyes: C'mon.

I know one thing, if I became single tomorrow then I'd be out of here like a shot. Even Lativa is better then Ireland right now!

Think people are getting way ahead of themselves now connecting women being fussy and male suicide. This is a cheesy dating show after all. Are people suggesting that women should drop their standards or else men will kill themselves? Ridiculous.

I think people need to stop using this thread to project their own insecurities and just have a bit of chat and banter about the show.

Definitely think the Irish girls are way quicker to hit their button than their English counterparts though. There were a few times last night where when Foley talked to some of the girls, they were 50/50 about whether to turn the light off or leave it on so they turned it off...they should be positive and leave it on! It's a cheesy dating show - just go for it for feck sake!

I don't think people are suggesting that women should drop their standards or men will kill themselves, I don't think that it is as straight forward as that and there are many different factors to be taken into consideration. But to totally dismiss the link between Irish male suicide and the negative effect Irish women have on their mental heath would be foolish and naive IMO and is typical of the Irish "sweep it under the carpet" mentality.

There is definitely a problem there and you only have to read After Hours to see the amount of "anti-Irish women" threads being started every other week. It's actually quite shocking if you think about it. Also most of the foreign guys that I have worked with have made negative comments about Irish women yet are only to happy to sing the praises of the women in their home country.

Anyway that is slightly off topic and probably deserves it's own thread because you could talk forever about it.

Back on topic..........3 blackouts, 1 rich guy gets a date and a 1 stripping fireman gets a date..............I didn't see that coming :rolleyes:

That guy who did the David Beckham impression really shot himself in the foot!!

jesus i wouldn't mind all these blackouts if the women on the show were stunners but to be honest the average attractiveness rating of the girls is about 4/10.......it's like for a lot of them it's their one chance to go on a power trip and reject a guy, I'd also say unlike continental women very few of them strike me as being individuals and having the strength of character to make their own decisions for themselves, when one light goes a whole load follw, or if there's only a few light left, when one goes - all the rest follow, it really suggests a lack of personal fortitude and a follow the crowd mentality which is very unattractive in my view and a sign of deep insecurity

I would agree with this 100%

I'm not trying to be a smartarse but it must a a culchie thing, calling commom Dubs "nackers". I don't see any similarities between them and the real nackers. Nackers and culchies pretty much sound all the to same to me so maybe you can understand why I'm confused. :mad:
