Just before they start: you'll have loads of losers coming on here presently saying how awful Irish women are and how amazing their hot non-EU bird is. They're only where they are because the Irish women wouldn't go near them, and the supposedly amazing hot non-EU bird can see the benefit of EU citizenship. Shhh.

Anyway, continue.

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.

Oh dear. Someone has a little issue.

On a scale of 1 - 10 with 1 being not at all and 10 being with every fibre of my being, how much you you say you resent Irish women for never paying you any attention, ever?

Agreed. I nearly always find the Irish men/women who usually go for other nationalities will criticise Irish people and say non-nationalities are the best.
Nothing wrong with going out with non-nationalities, but why do they feel they have to put down the Irish?

I've lived my 40 odd years in Ireland and never met the type of woman or man regularly described in AH. My friends if both sexes are sound. If you are always meeting a certain type maybe the problem is you attract a certain type.

Depends entirely on the nationality and culture. Some are warmer than others, on the surface at least. Some have a more "macho" culture where the men approach more directly, oft to the point of farce*. To the women used to that the more quiet jokey Irish bloke approach can come across as refreshing. There's also the exotic factor running both ways. So someone, man or woman, who has decided their "own women/men" are a washout will select for the exotic. The fish out of water thing runs strong too. So an Irish guy in Italy or wherever already thinking "foreign women are more approachable" will approach more and will filter out the "foreign women" who don't fall for his charms. I would say in general though that Irish guys tend to have more of a sense of humour and sense of craic to them which can go down well. Depends on the culture again though. EG I've found Russian women™ to be more serious and being jokey kinda falls flat. OH and less approachable than Irish Women™. I'd reckon IME anyway that a good mix is Irish and Latin.

*In my experience this is all show, because in relationships and especially marriage they're usually henpecked to death.

eviltwin · 02-11-2018 12:28PM

Irish people tend to be a bit more reserved until you get to know them and that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Especially if you've found some impoverished non-EU citizen who barely understands your language and attached socio-economic-cultural nuances as well as the women from your own country and culture do. For the first time in your life you find somebody who views you as some sort of exotic God.

Yes, one could see how that might be attractive to the losers who feel the need to look down on Irish women.

How did you arrive at this conclusion? No one is looking down on Irish women. With respect, you're trying to derail the discussion and it's ineffectual.

We have Peter Casey and Fuaranach.

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.

These threads always end up with people telling us how awful/repressed Irish women supposedly are, just because their shít wouldn't be tolerated by Irish women.

I don't see people just referring to non-EU citizens. If you think all is nice with Irish relationships you might just be missing genuine issues. Some behaviour and expectations in Irish relationships are not healthy nor good.

There are plenty of Irish people of both sexes trying to recreate their parents relationships. Not sure if they lack imagination or just don't understand how to make their own choices.

I know polish women who don't want a polish relationship as it is quite sexist and much prefer Irish men as a result. While I know Irish women that expect the man to provide everything and work for the family and treat partners like another child to be controlled.

Some probably but there's always some. I love Irish women, was raised by them ffs. Been out with a Lithuanian girl and an English girl in the past and I wouldn't be too complimentary about the Lithuanian. Each to his or her own though.

I'll tell you something about foreign women. They get all the best stuff in the second hand shops! You'd want to be up at the crack of dawn to best them, and they seem to work in ruthlessly efficient teams. I'm in rags as a result of them and their fiendish ways. :mad:

There are Irish women who aren't repressed but it doesn't mean that they are more or less repressed than other nations. Why you consider that being free and not repressed equates to being put upon indicates more about you.

Being free of body and spirit does not mean doing something for somebody else. It means being free to explore your own desires and experiment with others. The fact you think standing up against this is not repressed shows you don't get it and are likely repressed.

Not really saying somebody is not repressed because they wouldn't put up with some suggestions is the odd thing to say.

I agree with it but as a non-Irish person it is certainly not easy to really befriend Irish people. They're friendly but keep talking about the weather (seriously, you have some unhealthy obsession there) or about super trivial things, but if it's about to get deeper than that people are pretty reserved. Especially if you aren't drinking.

Also from my observation Irish relationships move slowly and while in other cultures you certainly know after a while that you wanna proceed and move together, for Irish people it usually takes a lot longer - but it's not solely Irish but also a bit generational, I find young people tend to avoid serious commitment until they're a lot older. Which is fine, whatever suits you. More of an observation really.

Irish guys need to be loaded with the old Dutch courage to approach women to quell the fear of rejection where Irish women sit across the bar trying to make eye contact with the guy they like. We’re like Pandas, how are we not extinct?

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.

Surely your question, going by both your examples, should be ‘is it easier to flirt with girls you know you’ll never see again’??

The answer to that is, of course, Yes.

I've noticed Irish women become much more open and approachable when they go abroad. Must be the village mentality at home where there is only a couple of degrees seperation between everyone.

I actually think that's quite racist. Most people who travel here are not impoverished but are from very high socio-economic backgrounds to afford to travel here from Countries with quite poor currencies and exchange rates.

Most also have better English than a lot of Irish people who are poorly educated.

You obviously have a serious chip on your shoulder.

Weird thing is that is an accurate description for many places in Ireland. When I went to teenage discos as a kid that was pretty much it but less on the alcohol side.

Just assumed everyone grew up but then I ended up at a GAA club disco in my 30s near Clonakilty and the place was like being 12 again including a slow set. I can just say Dublin isn't like that but it is obvious parts of the country are still acting without any sophistication. That is how little pockets of barely modified behaviour ends up in the likes of Coppers where mostly rural people in Dublin go
