EXCUSE ME! I never once said that foreigners are hot and Irish are not!

I am not a chauvinist! I'll have you know that I consider myself to be an honest, caring, average looking guy who has more female friends than male ones. I treat them well and always open the door for them. I have a Diploma and an Honours Degree as well as numerous academic awards and earn a very good wage.

I however do not feel the need to tell the world how great I am when to be honest no-one gives a s*it! (The only reason I posted the paragraph above this is to show that I am a decent hard-working guy, if it wasn't for having to defend myself no-one would know).

And yet you just did.

On the outside they're just the same as any other nationality... For every uggo, there's a tasty bit of stuff out there.

What puts me off Irish women more than anything is that a lot of them seem to have a god's gift to men kind of attitude, a far higher percentage than any other nationality I've ever come across anyway...

+1 on everything you said. The only difference is if a fella does it two things... one, I guarantee the vast majority of girls in the queue will scream down blue murder because he's a chauvinistic unmannerly pig and two, the last thing that will happen is he is described as just being independent, confident etc. You see the double standard..

Just me personally,
I consider that bad manners. Wouldn't ener my head to think "chauvinistic unmannerly pig" as if a girl did it id still consider it rude.
Im for manners, which is not gender specific.
I have been just as quick to tell a girl 'back of the line' same as a fella. No double standards with me for manners.

For me, independance has nothing to do with attitude. Im independant, but i dont feel the need to be rude.. I can be rude, i can be horrible, but generally not for no reason at a random person.

Lookwise, a lot of Irish girls would give any other nationality a serious run for their money, there lots of stunning Irish women out there..

I just think what has turned a lot of Irish guys off Irish women is the fact that they are simply attracted to something different, aka, girls from other countries whether is be European, Asia, African of whatever.. The influx of people from different nationalities into Ireland has simply opened up new horizons and as a result you see some guys making sweeping comments about Irish girls.

I am guilty of doing so in the past but when I think about it now I realise I was wrong..

However a lot of Irish girls are now doing the same with Irish guys..

Some Irish girls granted have developed serious attitudes whether is be from their families making a lot of money very quickly in the past few years and it going to their head or they simply believe that they are thinking they are better than they are, but that isnt the norm with most Irish girls.

Personally I find most Irish girls are great craic, good looking and able to hold a good conversation about a range of topics..

Thats just my 2c on the subject..

Well considering 50% of Irish women are mingers* that counts as success

*im only joking, lets not get offended shall we?

[quote=[Deleted User];62969329]Shallow answer, foreign women are better looking and in much better shape, take care of themselves, have better fashion sense (some dont!) and loads more.
On a not so shallow level Irish women are without a doubt the most stuck up women on the planet. Go to anywhere else in the world and you will see the difference.[/QUOTE]
You Sir, using 3 sentences to summarise what i have seen/heard/learned after all these years, is a Saint.

/salute

well,physcially,irish girls have killer legs,it is a fact :pac: love them!!!but their beer belly and arms are like from a man.....

personality?the usual ignorant/socially insecure/close-minded obviously(not ALL okay,i am doin my little generalization here), BUT,under the effect of alcohol,there is a whole differenty story lol when you are talking about irish man/woman,you need to add in the alcohol factor.for those who said irish gals are able to take a good conversation - depends on their age/maturity;if you are saying a real good decent conversation ,so far,i only did once with a 30+ years old woman(not telling her real age here,she is a friend of my parent).

conclusion?of course (irish) man find (irish) woman attractive!!only when they are not scarily ugly and being crazy bitches.

Ugh, it's only been a few hours since I last posted here and already this thread has turned into ''a men 'vs' women / polish women are hot'' thread. You let me down After Hours.

In fairness.. it is After Hours. :pac:

Also, it was just one incredibly egotistical and hypocritical poster who dragged the entire thread into complete disarray.. it wasn't too bad before that.

Curious as to why people are attacking my OP though, considering I said nothing but good things about the girls

murfie · 12-11-2009 03:24PM

I don't believe its about looks, its more about attitudes of Irish women and to be honest most Irish girls come across as if they are above us mere mortal Irish men, gods gift to us if you will. Women in general may well be gods gift to us men folk and should be treated that way, but i don't need that rubbed in my face every time i try and talk to an Irish girl in a bar or club.

The foreign ladies on the other hand have a complete different attitude and approach you as an equal, much more desirable.

Awaits to be burned badly..........

Daroxtar · 12-11-2009 03:32PM

I dont give a fuk where someone is from , if they're hot they're hot.

If that's your opinion on 'most' Irish women, then don't bother chatting them up anymore. As I posted earlier, neither I, nor my friends, would be so rude to someone who came up to chat to one of us. And I don't know many girls who would be like that, in fact, I'd be hard pushed to think of any girls of my acquaintance at all who would be like that.

F*cking generalisations.

shqipshume · 12-11-2009 03:36PM

Irish women have the best loyalist most decent personalities on a whole compared to any other nationality in world.(Excluding the small very small few)

Funny how non nationals find Irish women attractive and sweet and friendly,and marrying them and not marrying their own so more attractive then Irish women :rolleyes: .

Some Irish women find Irish men rude loud lacking in charm and not good looking and not very gentleman like.;) So even stevens

As for taking care of themselves,i think the Irish women are heads above Irish men in dress sense:),(again except for the few and same in every country in world) and non Irish men dress immaculate.

Wibbs · 12-11-2009 03:39PM

Having been a fair few places around europe, I've noticed a few things. If you pick a group of say 18 year olds, Irish women can defo hold their own in most company. Yes the foriegn types may be more exotic, but objectively the Irish are fine.

Fast forward 10 years... Then you see the difference. Both men and women here tend to get so called middle aged spread far more quickly than what Ive seen of other cultures. This is a fairly new thing too. well last 20yrs anyway.

Go to any airport in europe and finding the line for Ireland is pretty easy. We're just generally dumpier and stodgier for want of better words. Less elegance going on. In both genders BTW.

You see this in dress sizes. Go to a general shop like dunnes etc in any other major european capital city(outside of The UK) and try finding a size 20 or 22 in the rack for young women. With an ex in Italy(her being italian) I noted this. In spain the same. I actually asked where were the size 16s and was told that was more for a specialty shop. I kid thee not. You will also see a fair bit of stock of size 4 and 6.

Its a lifestyle thing not a gene thing IMHO

****ing generalisations.

+1
Totally agree with you any Non Nationals i know say Irish women are so friendly and nice to be around and chilled.
I have never seen any Irish women mean to anyone who approached them out,and my friends who are Ukrainian would snub men in a heart beat.

On top of that i saw someone say Irish women are fatter? that's a load of codswallop.
Just because the stick insect fashion is in them other countries doesn't mean we all want to be bones.
Irish women have women bodies not little boys.

1st of all...what an absolutely brilliant thread, even if my blood was boiling reading Hells Belles posts!

Seriously, what a way to live up to the stereotypical image I have built up in my mind of Irish women. I work as a DJ and 90% of the **** and abuse I get on a nightly basis at weekends comes from...Irish women! The English girls and 'foreigners' (can never really tell where theyre from) are nearly always polite and friendly and will say stuff like 'if this song fits in for ya, could you play x song please?' and they generally go away happy, because their attitude is good.

irish girl comes up 'i want a song played. britneys new one..when can you play it? thats not quick enough. no you have to play it, its my birthday.' i generally will refuse to play the song out of spite then (unless its a necessary type of song) and they then threaten me with my boss. i tell them to work away, since my boss also hates girls who do this, and has told me to be as rude as i like.

my gf is from asia, and a nicer girl you couldnt meet. no ego, no attitude, and gorgeous too...irish girls need to get a grip.

btw...good luck with the wedding prinz.

Don't worry about it Irish men like to dump on Irish women all the time and they wonder then why they are unapproachable :rolleyes: Because they treat women with utmost respect and courtesy and so nice to be around when drunk and falling down shouting and cursing
