    Nothing. I'm 5'7 I don't need increased competition.

    Hang on, Polish lads are stereotypically superfit beasts and we've got that roguish charm going on! Surely there are worse countries, like one of those small tropical island communities where they fish lots and stuff.

    Female poster here, I wouldn't agree with that at all. Irish men are HOT!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,265 ✭✭✭SugarHigh


    lol it's pretty funny. I don't know I can't imagine my life changing too much if I was better looking so I'm not too fussed.

    Couldn't this also be a measure of pickiness though? I'm not completely sure how the site works but I'm guessing it only shows your picture to people of the opposite gender who live near you(The same country at least). So this is really just a measure of that groups standards.

    How would the same guy score in different areas I wonder?

    I think the title of the piece by Joe Griffin directly underneath that one says it all for me.

    You should be agreeing with the article as you may have a vested interest in it ;)
    "Irish women are doing much better; 20 per cent of them gaining admittance to the site. This is nowhere near as high as the 68 per cent of all Swedish women"

    A spokesperson in the article did mention that a contributing factor in Irish men's lack of success is that their photos are usually of them in the pub, which to most is not very appealing. Hmmm....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,097 ✭✭✭✭zuroph


    just read the article
    on the beautifulpeople website
    Only 9 per cent of all Irish male applicants were accepted

    BOOM! Accepted, top 9%, I'm dragging all your ugly asses up in the national indexes :pac: :cool:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,289 ✭✭✭parker kent


    Hmm research based on really poor sampling. I'm not going to give too much credence to that!

    Pretty culturally aware alright, why?

    This sounds like an attempt to get more people to sign up by calling us all ugly and then challenging us to sign up to prove them wrong and thereby increasing membership.

    I've done my part in getting our percentages up by staying well away.

    Haha ooohlala go me:D:pac:

    reading further it mentions maybe the photos are bad and or people should have a make over before submitting.

    lol, so after reading it I take it as Irish and Polish lads are secure enough to lash up any aul photo and sure if they don't get in no loss, there'll be beer goggles a plenty at the weekend anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,205 ✭✭✭Yi Harr


    Judging by the website I think the headline should read "Only 9% of Irish men are hipster metrosexual nancy boys".

    No offence intended Zuroph.

    Gotta be down to the photos. Irish men are gorgeous, and even the ones who aren't more than make up for it in personality and sense of humour, best sense of humour on the planet imo. Never managed to bag one myself though :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,425 ✭✭✭gargleblaster


    Sorry to barge in here guys but please please please don't start getting sucked into this kind of stupid crap. It's obviously not true it's just advertising for a lame dating site.

    Ignore this BS please!

    You all have lovely bottoms. :)


    on edit: OK now that I've looked at some responses, you don't seem to be falling for it at all. Nice. :) Also I second liah's opinion - best sense of humor on the planet.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,289 ✭✭✭parker kent


    Am I wrong in remembering they view people wearing glasses as ugly? I seem to remember reading that and getting agitated. Not because I wear them but because girls in glasses are hawt :P

    You should know from Boards that Irish men have the highest possible standards when it comes to women. "Miss World? Nah she's a minger" :pac:

    Hmmm, a nicer person than I would tell you you're very pretty right now.

    To that end Liah, I'm sure if you said you were Polish they'd be all over you. I see a lot of threads pop up on boards about how Polish women are superior to Irish women for no discernible reason. You could char grill a piece of dog poop and call it 'Polish cuisine' and an Irish lad would eat it.

    g'wan the lads...we don't care if the world thinks were ugly

    Damn my hateful Canadian nationality, always ruining my chances! :mad:

    In fairness I can't blame 'em, Polish birds are ridiculously good-looking.

    I was going to, but then I realised, I'm gorgeous now, I no longer need to be the hunter.

    Now to sit back and wait for my PM box to fill up.

    Loads of women all over the world have enjoyed an Irish man inside them.

    Eastern Europeans are (on average) extremely attractive though. Certain countries seem to have unusually high amounts of attractive people (Poland, Czech Republic, Australia etc spring to mind. Any rational person would not say Polish girls are better than Irish girls, just that they were new, different and sexy! The majority of Irish girls are dark haired, so golden haired Eastern Europeans are bound to stand out just for their sheer difference to the norm.

    Also of course Sweden and Canada have beautiful girls everywhere *Hopes Liah and Kya are looking at this :pac::P*

    "Published by an online dating service" Not the best to look for the real talent in my opinion!

    I bagged a Canadian chick once, although I was in Canada at the time so my chances were considerably in my favour that time with the ratio of them around :pac:

    Ah come on now, I think you would have landed one of us if you really tried :P I think your location probably had an influence on your situation.

    Or else you have VERY high standards :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,750 ✭✭✭liah


    Yeah, in retrospect I really have to admit that Mullingar probably wasn't the best place to be. :o

    Export yerselves to Germany, damnit :pac:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,928 ✭✭✭✭Panthro


    joint ugliest me scratch.
    Why on the Boards.ie there are many fine specimens of men, myself being in the top 1 poll of fine thing awards which I have yet to set up but I most certainly will.
    What am I talking about again?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    I was listening to this exact thing on the radio earlier driving and someone made a pretty good comment, Irish men dont tend to have as good dress sense as European counterparts, and it can be very true, go into a nightclub and ever other lad will be wearing Jack and Jones jeans and a check shirt. I own check shirts myself but they're for casual day wear, I'd rarely wear them going out unless it was for a few pins after work or a really casual night, normally it'd be dressier shirts.
    The nights where I wear a suit going out or go out with friends and we all suit up the amount of female attention we get is unreal, and I wouldnt class myself as good looking, but looking good definitely helps in a sea of Mr Men (seriously who still wears those?) tshirts and shirts that look like your mams table cloth was turned into a wearable garment.
