    I definitely wouldn't describe the nation of Irish men as "ugly", there are some Irish guys who are very attractive and some not so much...the same goes for the women. However in my opinion Irish guys need to learn to look after their appearances more...why is a man slagged off by his mates for using eye cream? Also a large majority of Irish men have very poor dress sense...since when is a jersey acceptable everyday clothing on a non-match day. Sick of seeing guys in nightclubs in the same outfit, a bit of individualism wouldn't go a miss!

    Maybe they dress that way to get away from stuck up gob****es on a night out :pac:

    Another thing that that site doesn't seem to take into account is population.

    Ireland : Around 6 million.

    France: Around 65 million.

    I'd bet good money that there are more than 6 million ugly French people.

    I'd go even further and say there's probably at least 50 to 60 million ugly to average French people.

    Considering this statistic is coming from a snooty dating site that 'only accepts attractive people', I wouldn't exactly lose sleep over it.

    I like the way I look, so do others, and that's what matters.

    Basically of the Irish, British and Polish applicants to the site, only 9% were accepted and 91% were rejected.

    It's definitely not the kind of site I'd be giving free publicity to, so I will just refer to it as 'that site'.

    I have one! I've thought of a good looking Irishman! Micheal Fassbender. He was lovely about five years ago when he had black hair. He is half German though...

    And perhaps with a bit of dosh. So WTF are they doing on an internet dating site? Halitosis? Marine Iguana type personalities? No social skills? Asexual?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,501 ✭✭✭FullblownRose


    I went for a look..I see all the new Irish fellas on the site! :D Bit tempted to try to join now to see if I'd be voted in or not!

    Great accents, sh!te faces.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,301 ✭✭✭Daveysil15


    Probably because there'd be a chorus of cat-calls about how true it is... whereas that's not the case here!

    True, but you have to admit the lads don't really take it too seriously and generally have a sense of humour about it.

    Few weeks ago I watched 2 rugby games on tv one in Ireland the other in France. Must admit there was a ridiculous difference in the shots of the crowd between the 2 places! The irish were like extras for the hordes from mordor! :o

    I don't think we're a universally ugly people, I just think we tend to dress and do grooming to a lower standard than Ze Fronch etc. But then Ze Fronch are a nation of bleedin oddballs. There are cool and sophisticated French men, but they're a minority too. Most are nervy, smelly mammies boys. Which is not a generalisation at all, at all.

    That said, I'm half-German, and whenever I go to Ze Farzerland to visit Ze Gerbils, I always feel like a slightly scruffy dwarf alongside the lads there. They dress unbelievably well, keep their cars unbelievably clean and tend to be going out with Claudia Schiffers sister. I'm 6'4" and well put together, and I am still small by comparison.

    But, they can be dull as ditch water whereas I'd be a motor-mouth on a night out (whoda guessed) and would be an awful messer by comparison. When I was single and working over there, I didn't have any issues with the girls and if anything they preferred a bit of craic over stunningly handsome and groomed to the tees. Which tended to annoy ze gerbils, a bit.

    Opportunity to brag noted and will be seized with both hands:

    On the 'loose' connection to the topic of airports, I was waiting to board a flight in Italy, in a state of complete and utter devastation after the break-up of my year long relationship.

    Some dude, with an American accent (middle aged dude), came up to me and said 'I just wanted to tell you, you're beautiful'. He then proceeded to his boarding gate.

    Had he been boarding the same flight, I would have seen him as a lecherous fool, but given the circumstances, where my soul was in tatters, and I was bordering on dying from heart-ache, I can only conclude that he was an angel. That, or I was hallucinating haha!

    Completely off topic. But I just had to share the fact that someone, this one time, told me that I was beautiful.

    We do ugly very well. Full commitment.

    Ah, who gives a ****e really. Generations of inbreeding won't have helped the gene pool

    Ugly is a hell of a strong word - it's exceptionally rare that I'd see someone to whom that objectively applies.

    I can't say for sure, seeing as threads of women slating Irish men aren't an occurrence here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,788 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    The 50 -80 million people of Irish descent would disagree. We may not be the prettiest people in the world but you can't argue with the numbers, we get the ride more often than not.

    If it was constant, they might be different.

    Sorry, the majority of Polish men are ridebags.


    Lying poll lies :(

    Only an American would have done that. Any Irish fella wouldn't be able to get past the Holy Mortifying Scarleh-ness of it, even a three-time East Limerick light-heavyweight Kick-Farming champeen like meself.

    You ever try doing that to a girl in Ireland?

    "Hey, I saw you from across the room and I just wanted to tell you that I think you're very beautiful"

    "WHAT ARE YA LOIKE!!?"

    That's not true. If I saw a girl I thought was beautiful, chances are I'd tell her. Not in a sleazy way, just straight out - it's nice to pay people compliments and usually they take it well. I just bung in "shame those trousers you're wearing make your bum look huge" on the end of it. Usually, they giggle.
