    The consensus in this thread appears to be that Irish men tend to be more commonly going out with foreigners as opposed to Irish women, which I find strange tbh, and not at all what I witness in my own anecdotal experience. Its very common to see Irish girls with black/Muslim fellas on the streets these days........I don't think that I've ever seen one Irish man going with a Black/Muslim girl, only the odd east Asian.

    You know there are foreign people who are not Muslim or black?

    That is weird. You never see a young south dublin girl with some brazilian or spanish lad(it does happen but rarely) but you'll always see some young wan with a black or arab guy. Probably to do with social status.

    Same thing in England you almost never see a white man with a black girlfriend.

    9/10 times mixed race people have a black father and a white mother.

    You can see this on Love Island UK where there are white girls with black/mixed race men yet the black/non white women rarely get a look in from the white guys.

    I have my own theory as to why this is. You see a similar thing with East Asians. Whenever you get a half asian half white person in America the Father will usually be White and the mother Asian.

    I also have my own theory, and is related to sizes. Small men go for east asian as they think they fit better there. Women also search for sizes and go with africans. You also add the big percentage of homosexual european men and you will see way more white women with non white men than white men and non white women.

    Size is definitely a factor...... larger ladies tend to struggle to find white/Caucasian/European men willing to accept their size as attractive whereas a lot of black/African men seem to prefer the larger women.

    Yeah it's all ponies and roses until the baby comes along and looks like a spud. Mine could have had all the nice traits of Alpine people, my genes seem to be some weak sh1te though so it looks like a translucent New potato.

    More to do with jealousy from the Muslim guys. It's the same with Indian guys. There's more cultural stigma against a muslim/hindi woman dating a western guy, than a muslim/hindi guy dating a western woman. Kazak men have a certain reputation of being very possessive (in a dangerous way) of their women when it comes to western guys dating them, whereas you'll often see Kazak guys dating western women.

    I've dated both a Indian woman, and a Kazak woman, and both times received violent threats from the males.

    I have not dated an Irishwoman since 2007, last 2 gf's were Polish and my current is from Czech Republic. She is fantastic and has a great sense of humour, very thoughtful and caring and a great communicator and very loving.

    I think Irishwoman are too bossy and controlling and never happy, always complaining and moaning. All my mates who are married to Irishwoman are miserable and in unhappy marriages.

    Im a well travelled lad and will always go with the foreign option as compared to local opotion here in Dublin :D

    I don't know if that's so much a cultural thing as a personal thing. Perhaps in Asian women but I've certainly known plenty of foreign ladettes.

    Canadian, American, Swedish, Finnish, French, Spanish, Dutch, German, to name a few.
    That's true, though a difference I've noticed is that many Irish women when they are interested in a guy for whatever reason don't seem to feel at all comfortable approaching them, I've often heard female friends describe it like it was some big social faux pas. With the countries you have listed a good few (certainly German, Canadian and American, also Swedes, Spanish and Dutch from people I know who live/have lived there... also Aussies), the women may not be as direct as guys but if they're interested in you they will up come to you to make conversation.

    I find foreign women appreciate Irish men more than our own......especially in countries where (unlike here) they are 2nd class citizens. But overall I am getting the popcorn for the rest of this thread as I know it'll get good.

    TBH you're probably got the closest reason for it...it if is the case at all. Some nationalities/cultures have different attitudes towards women, so foreign women prefer how they are treated by Irish men. Similarly, Irish women wouldn't like the way some cultures treat/think about women.

    I dated a foreigner, then he moved home. Tried the long distance thing but neither of us had any intention of relocating permanently, so....

    Simple answer is girls not from Ireland generally, take pride in their apperance, are not stuck up and are up for a laugh

    What does taking pride in your appearance involve? Being skinny? Wearing makeup? Or what? :confused:

    There's the thing a lot of the men in these Eastern European countries are incredibly backwards and have less respect for women. It's clear from talking to them and the attitudes they have towards Irish women especially.

    So no wonder the Eastern European women seem so perfect to Irish men! Most of them are told what to do at home and told look good look after the kids etc etc. They get with an Irish man and it's like Christmas.

    I have one friend who's been through a few foreign boyfriends, one married to an Indian guy, one married to an Italian and one gay friend who is very much all about his Latino men but yeah overall probably would have come across slightly more couples that are the other way around

    Irish men who don't or haven't gone out with Irish women sure as hell TALK about it a fcukload more though. Plenty Irish women going out with foreign lads but IME they just get on with it rather than use it as a stick to beat poor auld Irish men with.

    All my partners have been Irish but I have a thing for black guys as do many many many white women. You'd rarely hear white men saying the same, not surprising it's the way the couples usually work out.

    That program is oddly an education on attraction. The black girl cannot for love nor money get a fella after her while everyone swoons after the masculine black fellas.


    When I worked in London a few years ago I actually had a fling with a woman of Carribean background. Despite having feelings for one another, we were both agreed that we wouldn't settle together as we both wanted children of our own races (yes, people of all backgrounds have that basic urge). Today I'm in a long term relationship with a German and her with a black Englishman (we still keep in touch).
