    Are Irish Women ugly?

    I know that this thread will get many an angry response especially from women but I honestly think that the huge majority of Irish women are unattractive especially compared to the likes of the Italians, Spanish(Latino in general), Japanese etc. etc.

    Am I alone on this issue? :confused:

    May god help you.

    And no Irish women are not ugly.
    And furthermore beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    I was waiting for that :D

    I'm not saying all Irish women are ugly just most of them

    I agree with Bringitdown, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, now I would prefer Japanese or latino chicks to the Irish ones, but that does not mean I find the Irish women unattractive, I just have prefrences. I mean the Irish women would be more easy-going than most other women, fact!

    Oh I agree, I'm not debating that fact. I'm just looking at this from a purely Aesthetic point of view.

    It seems to me that people find the 'exotic' to be more attractive. By that I mean that people find foreigners attractive because they are simply not so used to seeing them as they are used to seeing 'everyday Irish women'. Likewise, plenty of foreign people find Irish women to be very beautiful because of the traits they posess which may be uncommon in their own country - fair skin for example.

    Then again, it could be because you're from Kildare ;)

    Very clever aren't you

    Yeh but you have to be honest we have a bit too many bowlers in Ireland, the ratio of ugly women to stunners is to high in Ireland...we should start killing a few off at birth to even the ratio...just to even come in par with our europen counterparts...

    Seriously tho' I think there is plenty of 'talent' on these fair shores.
    I have been to many's the country and we stack up well enough IMHO.

    Anyway it is as much about taste as anything else. So someones sweeping generalisation is someone elses list of hot totty.

    I think that it is average the world over. Here in Ireland you jsut meet women on a more regular casual basis where they do not go to any special length to do themselves up. When you are away in a foreign country you generally only contact is touristy areas /pubs/niteclubs so the women there are out for the night and dolled up. I'd say that the same is true for men from other countries.

    Na, irish women are the best :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,240 ✭✭✭hussey


    they don't have the bronze godess look .. but they have one of the best sense of humour in the world

    ^ I think thats the answer really. I once knew a spanish guy who couldn't believe how gorgeous irish girls were compared to spanish girls, whereas we all thought the exact opposite!

    I don't think the "Its the same all over the world on average" thing is true. Some races / ethnic groups do (IMO) seem to have a higher proportion of stunners. But Ireland's birds certainly aren't the ugliest in the world. To be honest I never really got the whole Japanese / Asian thing, they really dont do anything for me. Maybe because I find their personalities so irritating.

    I think that Eastern Europeans (Czech, Poland, etc) are the absolute top of the league. Good god the women over there.......

    i'd safely say there is roughly the same amount of fine females in ireland as there is fine men.. in fact, when your out look around and see, there seems to be an awful lot of good looking women with average looking men.. is this because there is limited fine men, or because women are as much into what the man can think, do, say than just how they look.. :confused:

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder true, and every country has its fair share of unattractive females, but in relation to the entire population of each respective country, I think Ireland does indeed fare worse.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,643 ✭✭✭magpie


    There are a lot more good looking Irish chicks than Irish blokes that's for sure. Next time you're out check out the number of short, fat, grey haired, ham-fisted barney rubbles (the typical Irish male over the age of 30) there are with Sharon ni Bheolains around the toon. Maybe Irish ladies just age better than Irish blokes? Actually, who cares?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,561 ✭✭✭Rhyme


    It really just lies in preferences and that old adagé 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'... oh wait, somebody already said that... damn


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,811 ✭✭✭CerebralCortex


    There is serious balance issue in ugly to good looking. But its not that they couldn't be beautiful it has to do with what I've said before (I know i'm going to get burned for this one) "that most Irish women think that the best way to sit down and watch soaps all day is an olympic sport".


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,799 ✭✭✭Tha Gopher


    Irish birds arent the best in the world.....but theyre pretty damn close

    Have you ever seen Brazils female soccer team? If that is a truly accurate representation of Brazillian womanhood......fook me :eek: Funking stunning the lot of them. In fairness the hispanics probably do have the finest (though of course Im judging on the Eva Mendes/J-Lo celebrity examples)

    Apart from Eastern Europe, with whom we are sort of even give or take, we have the best birds in Europe.
    France is severely overrated, there are not near as many crackers walking down the average street in Paris as there are on Grafton Street. Whoever came up with this myth about French birds was talkin out of their hole
    As for Spain, a majority of Spanish birds ive encountered are small, tubby and have a crap sense of fashion
    Germans.....alot of them are too well built for my liking
    Personally, it takes a VERY attractive Chinese/Japanese bird to get my interest. For some reason, even though they are basically the same facial makeup, I fancy Thai/Vietnamese ones alot more, they are a bit darker or something. God, if id been in Nam in 69 ida been singlehandedly keepin them brothels afloat

    Chinese and Japanese women are very different, there are very few attractive Chinese women(in my opinion) while Japan is flush with talent

    I don't think you can say Irish women are ugly. Granted, a large proportion of them don't seem to have a clue how to dress or wear make up that emphasises their looks, but the same goes in every country. I'm lucky enough to have lived in France and Spain so I think the same goes everywhere.

    You have to remember guys that most latinas (for example) you see are in magazines, on telly (ie. models and actresses) or during the summer when you're on hols and they are on the beach in a bikini with a tan. But you do not see many of the ordinary Juanita Soaps, who are fat and hairy. Or during the winter when they are pasty white with the most woeful dress sense ever (stick to the bikinis girls!).

    Same also goes for the guys. They might look good running around on the beach in the summer, but put some clothes on them in the winter and they look like skinny, badly dressed (mostly slimy pervy) geeks.
