    We've been voted the ugliest in the World in a recent survey. We're down at the bottom of the barrel with Poland and the U.K apparently. Even China are ahead of us ffs!

    I think its a load of manure anyway. We've plenty of good looking Irish men, Fassbender, Neeson, Colin Farrell and myself to name but a few ;)

    Here's an image of the poll and who's in ahead of us

    Ireland; where men are men and so are the women.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,175 ✭✭✭hoodwinked


    I've been saying this for years and for years everyone disagreed with me!



    finally the truth has been revealed, every irish man (except my husband and those i have dated previously) is Ugly!

    It's a made up statistic/story and it's been around for years. Expect it from the red-tops but surprised the Irish Times bothered with it.

    According to my website, Irish men are the sexiest in the world (mainly because I bring the average up by so much)

    We make up for it by having the craic

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    That's why the aul drink is so popular here.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,391 ✭✭✭✭mikom


    In other news the Irish Times ranks highly for soakability with my puppy.

    I think Paddy does not look after himself as much as fellas from other countries.

    Binge drinking, smoking, late nights, dont shave every day, sun starved pale white blue skin, bad fashion sense, not the best at dental hygiene etc can give the impression that the average Irishman does not look as good as he could.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,933 ✭✭✭smurgen


    i prefer the term aesthetically challenged thank you very much!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 98 ✭✭Skeleton XIII


    I was accepted onto that site. So yay me.

    By the way, it's bs to be honest. Irish men just put up photos of themselves that they had lying around. You should see the state of the lads from other countries, the ones held up as 'beautiful'. Professionally shot profile photos and designer suits that they clearly have spent big money on. Just to be accepted on to that bull**** site. You can't even talk to the other members unless you pay a poxy subscription.

    Shallow bull****. Don't mind em.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,477 ✭✭✭✭Knex*


    Sure didn't you see that, "How attractive are you?", thread. We're all stunning.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,370 ✭✭✭Knasher


    Personally I don't think we look too bad any more, big improvement as soon as I finished taking down the last of the mirrors around my house.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,339 ✭✭✭Artful_Badger


    So taking this in the context of the "Rank your looks" thread. I'm average looking for one of the ugliest groups of people in the world ? :(

    I spent the last 9 months in Oz and was actually surprised by Irish men. They scrubbed up nicely compared to a lot of the Aussies. They're also better craic and have better manners I found. Aussies were fairly racist and a bit ignorant.

    erm no,

    to be honest you can't say "irish men are the ugliest in the world" because they don't all look alike, some are good looking some aren't, but its the same everywhere,

    so no i don't really believe irish men are the ugliest :D

    Sure thing, anonymous stranger on a public forum. I'll get right on that.

    You realise there's no way I could know these things if I hadn't been accepted?

    Course you do.

    Yes, but if you go to Papa New Guinea you will be a big ride.

    They have to be the ugliest people I have come across, I could not believe it, made my eyes sore...and I have been to Cavan.

    No offence you any PNG'ers that may be lurking in here!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,988 ✭✭✭lertsnim


    I am hideous

    In fairness it doesnt make it any better that I'd have to go to Papa New Guinea to find someone ugly enough to want to ride me. :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,009 ✭✭✭sopretty


    There is one element of Irish men I love. Rugby players' thighs......... *lecherous laugh......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,396 ✭✭✭Zardoz


    Short back and sides haircuts do most Irish men no favours at all .
    Longer hair would suit alot of people .

    Yeah, but that is why we invented Coppers.

    Ah God bless ya. You're giving out about THEIR superficiality, when you admit to having submitted your own photo to THEIR website? I actually thought you were taking the piss.

    Just a pretty face it appears!
