    What I see everyday is Irish men with Filipina women, Korans, some blacks, Brazilians and eastern Europeans.

    It's so much more noticeable than just a couple of years ago.

    I myself am dating a Filipina. I'm simply not attracted to Irish women.


    I've even bizarrely noticed some Irish women dating Filipino men. And many Irish women dating black men.

    Multicultural Ireland is here!

    How could you not be attracted to lrish women, the most beautiful in the world.

    Some of the interesting threads from the OP

    Why so few interracial relationships in Ireland?

    Why do people self-segregate a lot by gender in Ireland?

    Does Ireland have a drug problem or not?

    Hhhmmm I think I'm detecting a theme here tbh....

    Why do interracial drug problem people self-segregate their relationships by gender in Ireland?

    There's a lot of relationships between Irish and other Europeans (Spanish, English, Polish, French etc..), Americans and Canadians but I seldom see between Africans or Asians compared to the UK.

    Is it an issue with racism or just Ireland hasn't been open to multi-racial immigration long enough like the US and UK.

    I'd say it's just laziness.

    Interesting question tbh - could we have a poll?

    I see a few mixed race children, I don't ever see their father though, the mother is usually a junkie or a large woman.

    Anecdotal but....
    At work we come across a lot of guys with asian sounding names trying to get their new wives with eastern european sounding names added to accounts so they show up on their bills. They're usually in a ferocious rush to have this done, often asking if we can backdate it. The romantic in me says it's that asian lads have a bit of a gra for the eastern european girls. The cynic in me has other ideas though....

    It's either (A) a warp in space time that draws wimmin from the baltic states and men from pakistan here to find their true loves and opposite numbers or (B) a fiddle.

    There's loads sure!
    Plenty of Irish fellas who Irish women won't go near for one reason or another who attract the attention of nice foreign girl looking for a ticket to a better life!

    I do see alot of Irish girls in rough areas into the African lads as well must of been all the rap music they grew up listening to?

    Then you have the "Little pretty Asian girl fetish" so many white men are into as well.

    For some reason African women don't seem to get the same attention..... I wonder why that is......

    Thanks for the statistics on that.

    Was in the marriage registry place a few years ago in the waiting room n 2 asians lads there that were mates were there with their eastern European missus' to be.
    The chemistry was electric between them! The women with sour pusses on them, obviously hadnt got the fat envelope yet!
    The two lads spoke their language the whole time, dunno if they spoke a word to the women the whole time.
    True love!

    This has to be going on hand over fist. Might ask the next crowd how much it costs :D

    Dunno why, done my best in Copper's one night, was told I was only after some brown sugar. It was 2:15, aspartame would have done at that stage, never mind sugar!

    First they came for the socialists...

    I myself have dated women from all over the world and am regarded as a bit of a womaniser in social circles, I am currently dating a beautiful Brazilian woman and have been in Brazil already, Latina women are amazing and remind me of a wild mustang, they are firey for sure but if you treat them well and tame them boy will you be rewarded. I have dated Mexican, Filipina, Thai, Iranian, Israeli, Polish, Czech and Russian and a few Irish and American's etc.

    I can say by far that Latina women are by far the best, if you marry a Filipina you marry the family unless she has a good job. I was deeply involved with one when I was in the UAE before for over a year and very nearly married her, she dumped me for some weakling 8 stone lad from her own country, I met an amazing Mexican after and once you go Latina you can forget anything else coming close.

    Irish women don't do it for me anymore, their expectations are way too high, and suffer badly from alcohol and don't midn their bodies. When I was younger and skint they had zero interest but as my financial fortunes changed later in life I can now see a golddigger a mile off. I must say that the greatest thing to happen to Ireland in recent times has been the massive waves of Latin immigration from Brazil to study English. Not only has it made landlords millionaires it has brought great vibrancy to the city-centre of Dublin and squeezed out alot of the welfare parasite class from rental accommodation also.

    OK serious answer. Unlike other countries there haven't been that many different cultures here. When I was in school it was a load of milky white boggers. Was driving through town (Mullingar) recently at school finishing time and there was every sort of colour on the streets. I'm sure it will increase in years to come. A further point, how many 20 plus year olds are from the fair green sod from different heritages? Loads are here from culture that are fairly different so people may have kept themselves to themselves however as above this will change as kids grow up side by side.

    Enforced interracial relationships - because they're good for you

    Is that the new thing now.

    I've seen tigers and lions together. Does that count

    Here's a novel thought, let people date whom they want to date.

    Great for the Latin immigrants too having to bunk 10 to a room while making some Irish slum landlord rich :rolleyes: The welfare "parasites" as you call them wouldn't be willing to do this and the HAP probably wouldn't allow them to stay in substandard conditions. There were a few exposes on the conditions Latins stay in on RTE a year or so ago. Horrific conditions with dozens of tenants rent going towards some guy's McMansion wherever he managed to get planning permission for it. Parnell and Davitt are spinning in their graves the way some of the native Irish turned out. Aping their Anglo-Irish rackrent landlord forebears.

    It's gas the way you described Latin women as "firey" and worth taming while if an Irish woman displays any hint of the same attitude she is considered high maintenance and is seen to have a bad attitude. Also many men see Filipina women's family values as a good thing.

    I have dated German, Italian, Indian and Belgian guys. Irish guys too. There's good guys in every country and scumbags in every country. It's the personality that counts in the end, not fetishising someone for being exotic and different to Paddy or Mary up the road.

    If there are only a small number of interracial relationships it is because there are not very many non whites here. There are more white Americans, Germans, French and Italians here than there are Chinese, Pakistanis or Nigerians. And more Poles, Lithuanians and white British by a large factor. Given time and more immigration from outside Europe, these relationships will flourish.

    The whole Irish women aren't as great as Polish/ Latvian/ Brazilian/ insert nationality thing crops up every now and again here. So tedious

    I'm also curious about the ability to determine if people are Brazilian, Irish or Eastern European on sight.
