    I've decided that I'd like a yank as my wife. The day that's in it, makes you think of these things. So good patrons of AH how should I go about getting an American woman?

    Leave Galway and go to America.

    I haven't been with any women.

    By 'been with', do you mean actually had a conversation with them in the same room?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,518 ✭✭✭stefan idiot jones


    Fly to Urinal, Tennessee.

    Go to the County Jail.

    Go to Death Row.

    Pick out a crack whore.

    Marry her in a sweet little ceremony all dressed in orange.

    I'd like one too. One from Texas, a wild one.

    Accent would wreck my head - I think there's a lot of boards nerds who have married Americans that they met on the internet or whatever as they were incapable of getting an Irish bird and Americans are weirdos who understand them

    I'm in love with an American girl
    Though she's my best friend
    I love her surreptitious smile
    That hides the pain within her


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,706 ✭✭✭120_Minutes


    I was married to one for 5 years, and the best advice i can give you is:

    They don't like the "you're now my mammy, instead of my mammy" that Irish men do once they're married.

    She was an American girl

    I was with a girl from texas, just a one night stand and missus temptamperu is from Georgia.

    Stay away from American women. I met one once, went back to hers, her wedding photos should have put me off, but I stayed the night. And so started a 6 month affair. Sneaking around her husband, I'd be leaving hers as he was coming home. She invited me to her friends for a 3some but she had to leave cos her hubby was going mad. So I slept with the friend and when my American lover found out I was lucky to survive with my balls.

    She once invited me over and when I got there her husband was there. I was introduced as her friend. I made my excuses and ran for the hills. Only ever seen her once again after that. Her friend had informed me that she was only sleeping with me to get pregnant. So 8 months later I visited her to make sure she wasn't in child, which she wasn't. But one thing lead to another and we ended up doing freaky things in a webcam internet site. Never saw her again after that. I was 21 and she was 46. She'd be nearly 60 now, holy fcuk.

    So my advise is don't marry a American woman.

    God be with the days you were in a good way if you had a yank. The O'Learys down the road, they had no yank.

    Do they taste different than Irish women?

    You don't want to do that OP. Get yourself into Coppers (if you're in Dublin) and acquire some "relief".

    ^ Most posters in this thread.



    Personally I have no regrets.

    0-3 is a bit of a weird option...

    All the people that have and haven't been with less than four American women.

    Remind me not to hire you for my market research.

    I've dated a number of American women and had one night stands with many too. I have American family too and have spent a lot of my childhood there so I know quite a bit about Americans. Obviously every girls is different but there are a few things you should know about dating yanks....

    People tend to be influenced by their culture and American women have a very expectational, demanding nature. Personally, unless I were to find a very laid-back, accepting type of American lady, I would stay away. Put it this way, perhaps I could marry or get along well enough with 10% of Irish women, I would probably get along with 0.25% of American women in the manner required for marriage.

    I'd stick with Irish or even European women with regards to marriage. They tend to be less demanding and better craic overall than American women.

    Of course they do! Do people from Donegal listen to them?

    That's why you should go for a Canadian,I've had the pleasure of two Canadian women (not together:() and both of them were a breath of fresh air,very laid back stoner types the two of em no airs or graces about them whatsoever.Women from the US would strike me as shallow,i think thats because the only exposure i have to them is their portrayal on tv,hopefully one will come along and put my preconceptions to bed.Long story short,Canadian women rock!!

    I wish they all could be California Girls.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Actually I'm not from Donegal, I lived in Kildare in my Secondary School years and listened to them walking through the corridors and stuff

    like this song

    Women from the US can strike me as shallow too, but I don't think it's their fault. Frankly I think most of them I've come across are lovely like all women and I suppose humans in general.

    The American would have grown up with that great victorious nature that Americans have, an optimism that tomorrow is always a better day, an expectance of great customer service and interpersonal relationships. Some can strike people as being shallow, go-getters, greedy, or loud and blatant. I'm not saying that they are, but some have perceptions of that.

    That's where the culture clash would be if you are a typical Irish bloke.
