First Dates Ireland *read first post*

I think it was talked about at length above. The older couple (Cavan chap) is why I loved the show. It’s about the seeing the possible connection and hearing interesting conversations.

Lately it feels like all they’ve had on is narcissistic “look at me” tw@ts that are giving someone an audition to go out with them.

Jose facial expressions, listening to her about having kids. lol

"what's meant to be for you will be for you"! Spoken like a true 23 year old. Eh….that's not the way it works in the real world.

Baby dreams have thrown a big bucket of cold water on that date!

Loving the honesty of the older couple, been to dark places and out the other side wanting the same thing 👏

That said, I like them.

He’s welded into that shirt

What is it with the dresses with the sideways tit hole and like 2 straps on one side or a random hole somewhere else?

It doesn’t look well girls

Green dress girl is such a bimbo.

The dub guy who said his date was like kim kardashian was very desperate, not for picking her but the way he was talking. she and most other women will walk all over him if he keeps that up.

Josh/Jose looks like he should be in The Incredibles

And he sounds a bit like Arnold Schwarzenegger.

At least when he goes out, he'll be back. 🙈

He did a lot of overt fishing towards a second date. I hate arse covering like that on the show. They might as well explicitly ask what they are going to say when queried.

Kim K?...more like Kim Inside the K....

Just watched the latest ep, after missing the last few years.

Well the barman is better than the bushy eejit, and the awkward banter between the "staff" has become more bearable. And overall it was a nice ep, but good gos the Northsiders fashion sense is even worse. If you got saggy moobs please god dont show them off. Going for a pint afterward - not walking far in those way too skinny jeans mate.

And girls, why are ye all so fat. 23 year old looks 36 and no doubt thinks she's gorge. Love you're engorged.

And the two young wans are also waaaaay overweight. You can wear a daring dress to show off your curves and have everyone tell you yer stunnin, but your chin is nonexistent because you've got jowels and at age twenty nothing that's unbelievable bad. Bitta exercise will save you a fortune in makeup.

Look at Josh, in fantastic condition and a great guy. If he was in any other central european country he'd have his pick of beautiful women, here he's given a whale but because the Irish ones are nearly all like that now, he has to be thankful.

im glad the date went well for the cavan guy and his date. But is it a good sign when you are all over someone before you have even left the restaurant? its a bot too intense I think, maybe im wrong though?

I probably would if I met her out but I wouldnt bring her home to meet the parents. "will ya pass the fcukin butter love?"

"here you should have seen paul last night, he was fuckin hammered the bollix and got us fcuked out of coppers"

Poor Cavan man. He literally take anyone he's so lonely. If a 40 year old woman considers having a cat not a dog a potential dealbreaker, you may want to date someone else. And get a better fitting shirt, the flouncy one does ye no favours. Just dont ask Northside Moob man for fashion advice.

The young blonde one looks like Betsy from Coronation Street

Ah Malahides body wasn’t too bad he’s more dad bod which those type of women love so they can pretend he’s all cuddly before he inevitably pulls a pump and dump

It's not the body necessarily, it's the clothes.

If you're Man and your want to wear skin tight outfits then your better be in great condition.

If you're a woman you can wear whatever because everyone will gaslight you into thinking you look great.

Official stats say Ireland is the second fattest country in Europe btw, and women are more obese than men. But I would expect most people who signed up for telly dating would maybe hit the gym beforehand.

I thought the Dublin couple were well suited, and would certainly share a few fun nights together. Delighted for Cavan and Celbridge - they both have gone though tough times and really want a relationship- and seemed to genuinely like each other (as much as one can after only a few hours) so I wish them well.

Yeah I’ve noticed Irish people can’t seem to dress for their figure anymore. When you go to Spain / Italy / France you don’t see obese people walking around in spandex.

I think Josh’s date was a more egregious example than poor Malahide though.

Another thing you’ve alluded to that I’ve noticed increasingly is mismatched couples where it’s a very attractive man and a slob of a woman. In Europe you’re more likely to see a tubby man with a fit skinny girlfriend. You see it regularly on the beaches in Spain and that seems more traditional than the other way around.

I don't want to agree or disagree with what you've written or seen, but this is national telly. I know 3 people (2 girls and 1 gay guy) who went on the show a few years back and by jaysus they were flogging themselves in the gym beforehand.

Two of them wanted a date, 1 of them wanted to get into politics and raise her profile. Lost a lot of respect for her after that, but absolutely respected the sweat she put in at ye old Ben Dunne Fitness.

The young women don't seem to care about that, I'm sure its down to non stop social media validation from a young age, but on the flip side on my dating apps every woman from age 36 has "I go to the gym" plastered all over their profile.

Also I had to laugh at all the daters claiming that dating apps are just awful - like folks, you really think that's because of the apps or your behaviour on them. Apps didn't teach people to ghost, or lie about their pics, or filter by height, or demand the other person messages first.

Decided to put another episode on in the background. Mullets are back, I didnt expect that but young nd good looking lads should do whatever they want with their hair while they still have it.

Everyone says tatoos ruin girls, but for me its nose rings. Like wtf how is this still a thing.

pgj2015

What about lads with hair who aren't good looking?
