fetish for irish people

bryankinney · 13-11-2008 02:26AM #1

hello, i was looking for a place in ireland to visit that is not touristy (except for irish tourists) but still vibrant and was wondering if galway would be a good choice.
i'm coming there more for the people than scenery so shooting for a place where i would be hanging out among locals. thanks a lot.

i end up hooking up with almost every skinny irish-looking guy that comes my way ( live in america right now).

I believe the proper term for a fetish for skinny Irish people is a "faminer"; a reference to the Great Famine. These people tend to follow a football team known as The Queen's Celtic (named after pirate queen Grace O'Malley) and will appreciate a song or two about the famine or in praise of the "Blackened Hands"; a miracle that occurred in Ballyjamesduff in 1842 where a number of schoolgirls received black marks in their hands from touching a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary Harney.

Are you a chick? Um, yes Irish people are often found in Galway, although I hear its more poles than Irish now...

thanks for giving a name to my strange genetic obsession.
i don't usually need to work my charms on those too hard, they flip when they see me. that's why i suspect a genetic complementation issue. interesting.
so are they quite plentiful in galway?

it's the high cheek-bones, rounded strawberry noses, big blue eyes, pale skin, small bones thing, it just drives me nuts...

that's really f***ing dumb. just because there is not much of a scene it doesn't mean there are no queers. they are all around, everywhere.
in my case it doesn't matter anyway. i'm looking for blokes, not chicks.

I think you can say Celtophiles too.
Now, the West is where you want to go for the real Irish experience. Stay away from bigger towns and go to small places in Mayo (Westport), Donegal (Malin), Kerry (The Ring, Sneem) and of course Galway (Galway, Connemara).

Must sees:
Newgrange, Meath.
Marble Arch Caves, Fermanagh.
Conor Pass, Kerry.

Um, I don't have a strawberry nose or small bones...you weirdo. Also, pics of gtfo! Seriously what an odd stereotype.

People assumed you're a guy with the username (BryanKinney)

Be warned there are few enough guys like the type you've worked out in your head.

Maybe try a dating site.

Abbeyfeale = place in ireland to visit that is not touristy .

kevmy · 13-11-2008 03:21PM

seanybiker · 13-11-2008 03:26PM

Ya. I lived in Donaghmede in north city Dublin for awhile. They cannot be beaten on sure rugged scenery or hospitality. Thats for sure!

the tuam to south-hill road is a lovely scenic drive

Yes, it is.

As for hanging around with locals, its pretty easy to strike up a conversation with randomers in pubs/clubs...

Tourists are so friendly when their on holiday.

Irish people don't go to the pub anymore, it's too expensive. So get yourself a couple of cans and go wandering the estates looking for an open door. Sit yourself down in the sitting room and wait for the party to begin.

brianthebard · 13-11-2008 09:43PM

Are people not drinking at the arch for the rest of the year? I have noticed a drop off in noise on the street coming from that direction....

where do you live to say that? thing is, every time i spot some stranger as attractive, if i end up getting to know them or their last name they turn out to be at least 50% anglo or irish. this happens almost every ****ing time, i'm unbelievably accurate. and then i flew to dublin once and after a few days i could tell who's irish and who's not just by their facial features.
i'm not saying that all the original irishmen are of that physical stereotype but it is definitely a subset of irish looks and i wonder if it prevails in some areas of ireland more than others.
some famous people that are good examples are Michael Stipe and Michael J Fox.
and i've tried a dating site, all they take pictures of is their dicks...

brianthebard · 13-11-2008 11:36PM

Lolz if you couldn't spot the irish people in Dublin I'd be a bit worried tbh...

seriously? is it common for people to leave their doors open?

well, there must be some places they still go that are not that expansive, like cheaper local pubs...

anyone here is actually living in galway?

brianthebard · 14-11-2008 12:38AM

Yeah most of the people who've posted in this thread I'd say? Why looking for somewhere to crash? Favours will be required...

because i wanted to know if they knew what they're talking about
if most of the people here are from galway there should be at least one who could name a few local hangout places.
but now that you mentioned, if i crash somewhere it would have to be cheaper than 15 Eu cause thats the cheapest hostel i could find.
and close to the clubs.

You could've at least replied to my message:(

Hangouts like what? If you want to go to a pub, there are tons. Don't restrict yourself to one. Otherwise you can sit outside the spanish arch and drink cans. Couches are exchangable for blowjobs iirc.

no, no, no. christ, do i have to spell everything out for you? i'm sure there are tons of pubs, i'm looking for those where the local irish population hangs out in particular. and also, if anyone could tell me, a pub with interesting crowd/music, that draws the intelligent ones. again, local irish population. or anywhere out in the open, if anyone bothers to go out in this weather.

brianthebard · 14-11-2008 02:18AM

No need to take that tone, its your own fault if you ask dumb questions. Everything happens in the pub, where else would people hang out? an empty hall? Why would anyone hold any outdoor events in the winter? Music is on in tons of different pubs, why limit yourself to one? Explore.

Actually, do you have some vision of Ireland as a completely segregated society where each ethnicity has their own pub? If you go to a pub, you will find Irish people. Simple.
