The middle aged Irish woman

Sappa

Now there are plenty of stunning women in their late 30's early 40's who look after themselves in Ireland but a lot seem to let themselves go and eat an awful amount if junk,lack of exercise etc unlike other nations.
If you compare this to Italian,French,Latino or Asian women who seem to keep their figures in check.
Is this solely down to culture,diet or climate.
I'm not having a go here just an observation having spent time in the above countries.
Any views

Are you saying my dead ma is fat?

'Cause foreign women are raised on a healthy diet, good living, red wine and sweaty love-making.

Irish women are raised on repression, mass and Jaffa cakes.

Without the stats on relative obesity levels in the places you have referenced, I will call bull**** on that statement. Also, Asia? Pretty big place to be comparing to Ireland or suggesting that there is some inherent cultural and dietary mindset spanning a large number of countries.

Lol jk? Latin women are renowned for morphing from stunners into dumpy troll creatures as they hit their middle years.

There aren't that many obese people: you just notice them more because people of average weight don't stand out.

There are probably fewer obese people in some other countries as they have healthier diets, but I don't think there's a huge difference.

I don't know why you're focussing on middle-aged women though: there are plenty of overweight young people, and I'm sure you've seen the odd fat man about.

Anyway, as long as you're not overweight yourself, I wouldn't give it much thought. Let people be how they want to be.

Nah, sure even the stunning eastern european girls morph into shot-putters when they eat a slice of 40th birthday cake. There are an awful lot of verry good looking Irish women in their 40's, every nation has its share of 40+ munters, it's Gods way of making sure poor men in their 40's and 50's can still get laid by somthing. It's also why they invented drink, light switches and imaginations.

The same could be said of Irish men. Why focus on one sex?

Pot kettle tbh.

I like the maturer women and always did, I think women in general age better then men. Of course there are exceptions.

Its very hard to keep the weight off in middle age. If i so much as skip one day of exercise, and say, had a large dinner i can go up 3 pounds. Its a constant battle. Lucky i am disiplined and in fantastic shape:)

Yet Irish women are STILL the most stuck up. It's incredible. Nowhere else on the earth has the Irish phenomenon of stuck-up fatties.

Make sure all words are spelled correctly.

To be fair, it's mostly just one guy who keeps re-regging. He's got a point though - how dare women not force themselves to fancy him?! Especially with that winning attitude.

A_Sober_Paddy

It seems to happen both sex's to be fair...

I was at a family event yesterday, and there was only one fella without a beer belly, and two women of normal(healthy weight) size and the rest were overweight at least...

Our drinking culture in this country is the cause, If you drink 7 pints once a week without any exercise, your in trouble...

And most people I know will drink more than 7 pints a week and do little to no exercise week to week.

Also junk food has an effect as well as the Irish Mammy's.

It's not their fault in fairness: they're unwitting victims of a vast Zionist conspiracy to keep them from falling for his charms!

Then how come when I lived in Germany for 2 years, I was continuously in relationships or having one night stand encounters? Yet whenever I'm here, women think they are too good for me and snub me whenever I've tried to talk to them.

They seem to think that they excrete golden chocolate bars which smell of perfume.

Whenever you post here, you come across as very angry and bitter, no offence intended.
If you also come across like this when you speak to women, I'm not surprised if they're not interested in pursuing the conversation.

This might not be such a problem in German because from what I know of the language, tone isn't as important as it is in English.

Also, would you consider yourself charming, personable, funny?

Hang on, I talked to 4 Irish guys in Germany who all agreed with me. None of them have ever been on a date before in their lives and they were all in their early 20s, and all of them talked about how much more genuine, authentic, down-to-earth and easier to meet German women were than Irish women, and that's even if you can only speak basic German and are speaking with them in English. Only a minority of German women speak English, yet at that time when I spoke little German, I was meeting loads of women who I could communicate with in English. How do you explain this?

Your accent. Works for almost any Irishman, in a great number of countries around the world.

Maybe general cultural differences between here and there too, but I wouldn't be an expert.

In Germany, I had 4 relationships and slept with a further 6 or 7 women, all of which were in the 6-9 range looks-wise.

I am around a 7 out of 10 on the looks scale, yet horrible looking overweight 2s think they are too good for me here.

I've always found when Irish people say this it's really a reflection of their own narcissism. No one really cares about this little slave of Britain country. I'm Italian originally, but I was raised here, I have a neutral accent.

I've a fairly neutral Galway accent, not very strong, and lived in both America and the U.K for short periods, where my accent was often an ice-breaker when people would tell me how much they loved it (not always in a romantic sense, it was often just friendliness, from both genders).

If you do consider yourself fairly attractive, then your attitude must be the problem (it may have changed since Germany without you realising due to life events).
When you talk to women, do you think you come across as friendly, open, relatively confident and interested in talking and listening to them?

Really? Its already time again for the Irish women are all fat and up themselves thread? All foreign women are models as are Irish men?

Ha ha, very funny.

I've never been that desperate. But I don't blame Irish men who go to Holland or Germany to pay for sex, although they probably do so out of the belief that they have to, when really it's only in Ireland where guys have so much trouble with women, elsewhere relationships and sex come easy, at least in Europe.

Yes Ireland is the only country where there are sex problems, German men never become sex tourists. All Irish women are the same, all German women are the same. Yawn

Yes, of course. But I'm not a professional clown or comedian, which is what Irish women seem to exclusively demand. Irish guys act like clowns because it's what the cows.. I mean Irish women want. I don't want to act like that, nowhere else in the world do you need to. It's just silly. Once my contract runs out in two years I'll return to Germany. I've been taking German night-classes during the week days since the start of this year.

There are desperate German men too, but not at anywhere near the same percentile as desperate Irish men. In Germany I saw average guys with average girlfriends all the time. Here it's always hot guy with hot girl, hot guy with average girl or hot guy with ugly girl, and only rarely I see an average guy with an average girl.

Perhaps for women who's first language isn't English, it takes them a bit longer to notice your bullshit.

How did you manage to learn so little German in the two years you spent there ?
