    i was having a chat with a work colleague earlier. I was saying how over the years i have dated multiple irish women and multiple other nationalities and as i get older i have realised how different they are. Is this complete bollok or am i right

    Because ireland is such a religeous country i have always thought irish women can be more uptight, when it comes to sex and just general life. Sometimes they just want to follow the steps of relationship,house,kids,death instead of taking things as they come and enjoying life

    Eastern european women love to look after their men in my opinion. Its in their culture. Plus they can go out with the lads too and keep up with the booze and the chat

    Have you found irish women very different..other traitswhich you have found for irish or other nationalities

    Btw women this is all tongue in cheek and dont get pissed off with us

    "Us"? the whole thread is your thinking so don't involve us men on your own behalf.
    Of course there are differences, every single country is different to the other.
    You're comparing Irish women to eastern European women.. do you see any flaw in that? Leaving the nonsense aside now..

    I've dated many nationalities and there's definitely commonalities that come through ......... Eastern European women, for example, are dull as dishwater personalty-wise, zero (or different?) sense of humour and by jaysus do they like a winge .......... I started with Irish women and thank God I ended up with one in the end!

    Well Spanish girls are hip,
    I really dig those styles they wear,
    And the Bosnian with the way they talk,
    They knock me out when I'm down there,
    The German farmer's daughters really make you feel alright,
    And the Portugeuese girls with the way they kiss,
    They keep their boyfriends warm at night,
    I wish they all could be Tallaghtafornia,
    I wish they all could be Tallaghtafornia,
    I wish they all could be Tallaghtafornia girls

    I'm unlucky enough to be married to an Irish woman of eastern European descent with some Jewish ancetors.
    It's not a great mix ..I mean she looks great but is completely mad .

    Go to pretty much any European country and I pretty much guarantee one of the locals lads will say similar of the local women. Have I observed any general differences? Some, but individuals and different sub cultures vary far more. As for following the "steps of relationship,house,kids,death", I can think of a few European cultures where this is way more in evidence. No names no pack drill... Some are extremely social status and social pressure driven.

    You mention "Eastern European" women as if they're one big generality. They can vary from country to country and culture to culture and of course individual to individual. Sexual attitudes? Some are more free and easy, some are very much not. You'll get more one night stands and general stranger snoggage in Cork than you will in say Moscow, that's for damned sure. And in some the set down accepted "traditional" thing is very much in play.

    You mention the women looking after the men? What most mean when they say that is more "traditional" women and cultures. Great, but you better step up and be the "traditional" man, or they won't hang around for long. Also I have found that those self same on the surface macho cultures are very different under the surface. All macho when single and dating, but after marriage, the women tend to run the show.

    I have also found Irish women™ to be generally less harsh, more easy going over time, more about the partnership thing in relationships(unless the guy is weak and they have to take over the Mammy© role). .

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I've known all kinds of Irish women from quite conservative to sexually confident party animals and everywhere in between. I would imagine the spectrum of women is the same in all Western countries nowadays, and that of men too. We're not all that different.

    Generally speaking Irish women(and men. There are more fat Irish men than fat Irish women) tend to be softer around the middle. Though that has changed somewhat. I would say in my personal experience that Irish women have the largest boobs on average, so if you're a boob man good for you. And I have found generally speaking that Irish, British and Italian men are near obsessed with boobs. Often to the exclusion of anything else.

    I'd prefer a Slav woman over Irish any day. I prefer them in every respect. My serious gf's were non-Irish and there was only one irish woman i was willing to compromise that for.
    Czech, Slovak, Croat, Latvian, etc; any day over an Irish woman.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,960 ✭✭✭Dr Crayfish


    What does "looking after" their man mean anyway? Like the way my mother used to/still tries to? I don't need that all over again thanks, but I suppose some blokes would be into it.

    So some fat alcoholic Croat over a beautiful sound level headed girl from Dublin? I'm just pointing out how ridiculous your preference is.

    Some tend to be a bit more orange than most Europeans. But I think that's as much generalisation as I'm willing to make.

    I honestly have no idea where this idea of Irish women being frigid, conservative neo-nuns comes from. From a platonic level, Irish women tend to be great craic, and always easy to have a bit of fun with. Some of the fun I've had with Irish women in university classes and jobs over the years doesn't come close to the way some different nationalities interact with the opposite sex. And from a romantic level, I've found Irish women to be a lot less "materialism" and status focused than Eastern Europeans and Southern Europeans (although this may just be my personal experience).

    One phenomenon I have really noted of late is that an Irish guy going out with a foreign girl has become quite regular but I haven't really seen many Irish woman with foreign guys.

    Obviously as male, I know more males than females but I know lads with girlfriends/wives from France, Mexico, Italy, Venezuela, China and so on. The most exotic male partner of woman that I know is Northern Ireland :pac:

    Congratulations, you are probably the first person to manage to get the words 'exotic' and 'Northern Ireland' in the same sentence.:D

    It's such a natural look, I'm sure others would pay through the nose to be able to get that look from a bottle.

    In my extensive experience of 1 eastern European girlfriend from Moldova she was absolutely nuts. Mad for sex and good looking but extremely demanding and in the end I realised she was going to ruin my life if I stuck with her. Proper nutjob. Back with an Irish girl now. Not as good looking but has better tits and is completely chilled and doesn't give me any hassle at all. Has a small moustache too and I only get a ride when she's drunk so swings and roundabouts really.

    Irish women suffer severely with weight issues now. Finding a slim Irish girl is getting rarer and rarer. Find most foreign women caring about there appearance even though facial hair is a no no with any female. Also the blue eyed Eastern European girls are league's ahead in the looks department I think not that matter's. Actually no it probably does.

    I think us men are actually fatter, statistically, so they're not spoiled for choice themselves either

    Yep, more Irish men are overweight(all the way up to obese) than Irish women.

    See what I mean! :D:p But really, obsessed with breasts. Like it's nearly all Irish Men™ see. A whole generation must have been bottle fed. :D

    Actually R, that's one generalised observation I would agree with. It's much rarer going the other way. In other countries I've some experience in there would be more "local" women going out with "foreign" guys. It wouldn't be equal, there'd still be a bias towards the men with "foreign" women, but a lot more equal than here.

    To the degree that in quiet moments I pondered this on long winter evenings... The only conclusion I came to was that for people living in say Holland or Italy or wherever in mainland Europe they've had much more admixture from outside and over many more centuries, so they're more used to and open to that. While in Ireland which has been much more homogenous it was seen as unusual and that men in general are more likely to look outside their group/culture than women?

    Interestingly population genetics seems to support this. Women's genetic lines are more fluid and less tied to geography compared to men's. They travel more. You can sometimes even see this in Small Town Ireland™. At say 18 the men/women ratio is about the same, but fast forward to say 30 and many more women have left for education or careers beyond the town compared to men. Some have theorised this is a reason why women tend to be better at acquiring languages on average. Because they traveled more than men this was positively selected for.

    Still, this bias towards Irish guys seems to suggest Irish women are indeed nuts and divils for punishment. :D

    You're stereotyping irish women based on your idea that ireland is a religious country yet the eastern european girls you're talking about are probably from much much more religious countries than ireland


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


    Irish women and foreign women are the same on average however,some of the biggest nutters i've met have been eastern european women and i don't mean that in a good way.i find alot of them absolutely boring.same goes for brazilians.there's no substitution for character.irish women have a great attitude and i find them very attractive.the soundest european women i've met are the french followed by the dutch but neither are as easy going as the Irish.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,624 ✭✭✭✭meeeeh


    I think anyone who uses term Eastern European to describe a personal trait is doing so they can mask they know very little geography. It usually means any woman with a funny accent must be from a country they possibly heard about before but can't find on the map. Anyway it's good they are all the same in Eastern Europe.
