Are foreign women more approachable than Irish girls?

Tommy Halpin Kelly · 02-11-2018 11:01AM #1

Something funny I've noticed, I'm in my 20s and have never dated but have been flirted on two times both by a 24yr old spanish lady at Nice airport waiting to board and two 18yr old girls sitting beside me on a flight to New York.

It seems to echo what lads say about how when they go abroad, foreign women are either more open to random approaches and/or they'll be flirted on with women. I can't ever say that an Irish girl has done that.

Generalizations are not good of course but in general (lol), it seems that women here would be hard pressed to give you the time of day.

I am dating a Brazilian Lady and I have never been happier. I find that she is more direct than any Irish girl I have dated. If she has a problem she says so, its resolved. If I have a problem I say so, there's not drama or tears about it, it's resolved.

I dont think Irish women do it on purpose but there is always an element of pyshic ability required "Fine" means you are in trouble etc.

Generalisations are well, generalisations, but I've dated Irish girls and a few other different nationalities and just find other nationalities easier to communicate with.

Foreign ladies are absolutely more free sexually but I put that down to the Catholic education system here and social shaming. Our sexual education is so so poor in Ireland. It's a huge problem.

Generally I just find them more confident and thus more likely to actually approach a guy instead of waiting for the guy to approach them.

Americans especially, I've had a few happily approach me in my time. I can't say the same about Irish women.

Foreign people in general I find.
When do Irish men ever approach women without either being buckled drunk or hiding behind their Tinder profile?

Deebles McBeebles · 02-11-2018 11:21AM

Does it not depend on the person rather than the nationality?

Foreign women are more approachable in my experience, our own tend to huddle in groups.

This^

Irish people in general are very guarded and cagey when it comes to the opposite sex. I noticed this when I was in Australia.

That's just so's we can turn our ugly faces inwards. Herd immunity.

Exactly this, it works both ways.

Looks don't enter into it, just a question of attitude.

It does , but this being AH , it'll eventually descend into a rant about Muslims , Travellers , poppy wearing and Dublin.

Theres plenty of women in ireland who are flirtatious and confident enough to ask a man out, I wouldnt say its that rare. Several women I know from other countries have said that men in ireland are more reserved than in their home countries about flirting or asking girls out though, so could be onto something

Come now, we all know Irish women and potatoes share the same genetic line. It's what makes us so reserved.

Spare a thought for any Muslim Traveller wearing a poppy while riding a bike in Dublin.

SterlingArcher · 02-11-2018 11:39AM

What does it matter. Irish woman's are looking and behaving more and more like fat American woman's. They need some internet influencer to tell them to all get on a boat so we can torpedo it and start fresh.

We could probably get them all on the boat by saying there is a free doughnuts, leggings a penny's and an Inglot shotgun in every cabin.

.

In your 20s and only being flirted with twice!

I really think that says a lot more about you than Irish women.

Irish women certainly flirt and if you haven't experienced it I can see how you never dated.

While women from different countries do act differently you certainly can't say they don't flirt. Maybe you don't know when it is happening because it isn't a direct proposition.

I did find women from other countries more direct it also seemed quite fake in certain countries where women seem to try to use their charms to get their way.

I am not some looker that women find gorgeous but I still got and get flirted with. Married an Irish woman but was serious with a French women. She didn't like French men much as they approach women on the streets and kind of forceful.

It is? What religion are Brazilian folk predominantly?

Way too much stock is put in this "catholic repression" notion. Middle aged Irish people and younger are overall far from sexually repressed now. There is actually an obsession with demonstrating how sexually adventurous you are.

The biggest deviants I have ever come across have been Irish.

YMMV

Just landing the first punch. It's how short people win fights.
