Why do Irish men find Irish women so unattractive?

Unfortunately the truth is an awful lot of them have that mindset. The number of times I have had the debate with them is unreal, trying to tell them that they are wrong and we have the best mix here of attraciveness and personality (only for bunch of Wexford girls to wander in completely drunk on a hen night right in the middle of my rant in defense of Irish women to a bunch of French guys).

Wexford women are lovely, and if a bunch of french guys looked down their nose at a bit of fun, well im glad i prefer to buy irish!!!:)

Yes, very hard to find a size 10 in most of the shops here, but I took that to mean that it was the most popular size and they'd all been snapped up by the size 10 Irish women?

Yes they also kill each other over size 6 or 8, that's why you can't get them.
I've been jumped at in another thread when I mentioned my size 14 sister and I was lectured that "healthy size 14 if the norm in Ireland" so what can I say... you can't have both!

I have not read any of this thread. Won't try to pretend otherwise. Some Irish women are hallions are beasts and some are the most beautiful things you could ever lay your eyes on. Just as with every nationality and race. I can't help but feel this is sh1te thread. The majority of Irish men marry Irish women. I mean, wtf.

Now where's my whisky.

"Of course, they all have lovely bottoms"

Ok, I'm a lady and I have to say, yes, there are plenty of Irish women who are thunderin bitches, and I have to say, any eastern european girls I've met (and I know a few) have been all lovely girls - I think a lot of Irish girls are very insecure?! I have my moments myself

BUT, these girls who you talk of, that are complete snobs, and refuse to talk to you - I can bet that they're the ones frequenting haunts such as Krystle, Lillies, Howl At The Moon, etc (now I like HATM - but I have witnessed quite a few of these situations going on there!) They're the ones that are plastered in fake tan, hair extensions, and a face full of war paint - the ones that think they are better than anyone else in the room.

Maybe lads, try going to "normal" pubs/clubs (Club Nassau - i DARE ya! ) where there isn't such a pretentious clientele, and people just wanna have a bit of craic, not standing there posing for photos that they're gonna upload on their facebook the second they get home.

Don't tar us all with the same brush either - I'm really pale so I have the sense not to wear fake tan, as I know I'll look ridiculous (pale is in now, don't ya know!), I don't skip queues, or embarrass a fella if he's trying to chat me up NICELY (ie. NOT slapping my ass, or trying to grope me anywhere else, or slurring so much I can't understand him - if ye do any of these things, ye deserve a slap)

Well firstly just to answer Liah's OP. I think there are a lot of irish women that are physically attractive. I think if you go to anywhere in Ireland, you will find fabulous looking women there. Without question. However for me personally, physical attraction is only part of the package and I find that personality wise, there are a lot of women who seem to be letting the side down. And yes, I'm sure there are a lot of men who do that too. But that needs it's own separate thread!

I think however one of the problems is that many irish women believe that every man that approaches them has an agenda and is to be treated suspiciously at best and vilified at worst. I think this is sad because when I've lived and travelled abroad, the women I've encountered have been more relaxed and more open to having a conversation with you. I'm not saying that you can't get that here too but in my own experience it's just incredibly rare.

Irish women have a lot of potential in my opinion. They're gorgeous, they can be incredibly funny, interesting and fun to be with. But many of the ones I've met seem to have an entirely negative mindset. And if you question that worldview you are told that you are just 'intimidated by a confident woman who knows what they wants' in a rather hostile manner.

Confidence is something that comes within in my opinion. It's not brash and it's not obnoxious. A woman reading a book alone in a pub or coffee shop is confident because she's not afraid to be on her own and she can do her own thing. Real confidence for me is not dogmatic or aggressive. So when I see real confidence, I'm not intimidated, I'm pleased for that person that they're living their own life.

But getting back on topic, I count many wonderful Irish women as my good friends but to be honest in my own experiences, I'm not sure I would date another one right now. Too much high maintenance and negativity in my encounters to be honest.

Obviously it goes without saying that these are just my own experiences. I'd be very happy to be proved wrong...or indeed right!;)
