you'll probably find quite a lot of them in the medditeran... however you spell that part of the world.

woooshh straight over the head!!!

Yes I was in town today (Dublin) and they are everywhere.

Things I've noticed about them:
1- They never appear alone.
2- There must be at least two people talking simultaneously for it to constitute a "conversation".
3- Unless everybody within a thirty foot radius can hear you, there is no point in talking at all.
4- When in doubt, talk louder and faster.

Ok it might be a generalisation, but to say that they annoy me would be putting it mildly indeed.

Yeah they're too loud and they barge around the place like they own it.

Lads, lads...still yourselves and chill.....The Southern European(we'll use that term, as the word mediterranean seems to be causing untold difficulties) lady is quite a different animal to the typical celtic cailin...

Now, I know wherefore of I speak as I've taught English in Italy, Spain and Portugal. Incidentally, while the Spanish and Italian Ladies have a rep for beauty, you ain't seen nothin' until you've seen the ladies of Northern Portugal...I mean ohmigod!!! Alas you wont see many of them here though because they find us boorish and barbaric...and lets be frank fellas, they've got a point.

Tip #1 : Don't get pissed, they don't like drunken bufoonery, it is not as endearing to them as it is to our Irish ladies. They are almost uniformly appalled by the amount of alcohol we drink so you'll have to pretend you're not a trainee alcoholic.

Tip #2 : Dont worry about how you look, simply because you cannot hope to compete with their Fabios,Francos, Paulos and Mauros back home. The average Italian man takes longer to get ready to go out than his girlfriend...this is expected and encouraged. Also even the ugliest one of them looks like Brad Pitt compared to us...to them we are the Elephant men, they are in general physically repulsed by us......my Italian girlfiend used to call me 'ghost belly' due to my horrible fish white flesh which she found fascinatingly awful....but this did not stop her sleeping with me.....

which leads me to tip #3....make an idiot of yourself, ape and caper as much as possible, they love it as their own men are massively macho and take themselves very, very seriously. Do the eejit, they'll love it, and hey as a paddy doing the eejit is your forte, right??...and while we're ugly we're also mad and funny...natures sick idea of compensation I Guess...

Tip #4: If you get into a relationship with a med woman, note they are very demanding and high maintenance compared to Irish ladies. They will own you, not just body (which is fine) but also soul, indeed to them this is more important. My Spanish girlfriend once physically assaulted me in a nightclub because another woman had the temerity to speak to me..and all her mates thought I, yes I, thoroughly deserved it!! You are entering another time space continuum here...

Tip #5: No matter how far you travel, or how many med ladies you have a relationship with, you will never, ever find one with the charisma and personality of a classy Irish lady.....fact....but hey have fun finding that out for yourself fellas.

Good luck, Bonne chance, Boa Sorte........

oh and tip # 6 dont ever learn her language once you can communicate effectively in her language you'll realise how boring and one dimensional she is......preserve that mystery at all costs!!!!

Never truer words and all that

(and on a small further note, beware the 'French - mediterranean' Chick, for she is all of the above... and then some more )

Maybe we're just importing more "munters". Might be some EU directive. A Munter quota as it were. Seriously though(wellll), with the bigger genetic diversity of most European nations compared to us, you do get a higher proportion of crackers elsewhere. The munter level seems pretty much consistent everywhere, but you do see women in France/spain/italy etc the like of which is far far rarer here. Body wise even more so. That small framed delicate type with actual hips bod is far rarer here. Irish women tend towards a more stocky build. Even with the skinny irish girls they tend to be less curvy than the european types.

As generalisations go not far off.
Particularly the Italians I've found.
Which straight away explains their charm.

Truer words never spoken. Speak for yourself. I am both hilarious and an adonis. Often at the same time.

Here I'd disagree entirely. By some quirk of mine, maybe I attract high maintenance Irish women and don't attract the continental version, because I found the complete and utter polar opposite.
Good luck in finding same. If classy irish ladies were so thick on the ground we would hardly be looking elsewhere. In my experience, every single bloke I know that has "gone foreign" has stayed that course.

That goes for the boring of all nations. Foriegners may just be better disguised.

Must learn how to quote single paragraphs...Anyway you mention that everyone you know who has gone foreign tends to stick the course. I have had a Swedish gf and have gone foreign a few times but very happy with my current Irish girlfriend, as I said in earlier post you can't beat an Irish girl, better craic than most girls of other nationalitles

I've heard that comment quite a bit from people outside Ireland, male and female. The word I most often hear describing the Irish women is not ugly at all, it's "harsh". I do see a bit of that if I'm honest, though the french can run them a close race.

French women 'Harsh' are you mad!!!! They are in fact 'aloof and haughty' big difference! They are the ultimate combination of southern med looks with northern European hauteur, I love em, love 'em, love em......Indeed the average French woman is the only concrete evidence I've encountered on this beknighted earth for the existence of a benign and caring God.......hmmm just to look upon one in her pomp is to see into the face of the divine.....oh lord...gibber gibber....

I agree that French women are deadly. Unfortunately, they cheat quite a bit. It's a big negative for me!

If I may quote Poison (sorry) "Every rose has its thorn".....anyway fidelity is massively overrated.....well worth the punt I reckon.....
