1. Does the southern accent get on your nerves?
Definitely not, is one of my favourite accent

2.You think were stuck up.
A lot of americans I have met definitely come across that way

3.Should I definately stay away from temple bar if I dont want some guy hitting me up because he wants a one night stand with a foreigner?
Yes, Chances are you will be hit on by an English fella there anyway

4. What do you find attractive about american women or unattractive (please leave out the fact that alot of american are fat, lol)?
big hair, shoulder pads, oxycotton etc

1. Does the southern accent get on your nerves?
No, I consider it a major plus, I especially love the whole southern demeanour

2.You think were stuck up.
No, I find American women to be great like this (especially compared to Irish women) all nationalities have some stuck up people but the Americans are not bad like this I think.

3.Should I definately stay away from temple bar if I dont want some guy hitting me up because he wants a one night stand with a foreigner?
It depends on what ya want out of your holiday, if you want my advice don't spend all your time and Dublin and come out to the country, you'll have a great time and it is more representative of Ireland not some fake D4 types you'll find in Dublin who wish they could weld Dublin onto mother England.

4. What do you find attractive about american women or unattractive (please leave out the fact that alot of american are fat, lol)?
I find American women to be very attractive, their accents, and general outlook on life is great, plus they are far more open and liberal than Irish women.

5. a story about when you met an american women?
I have met a good shot and had mainly positive experiences with all involved, having been to Las Vegas more than once, they have left a very positive impression on me.

1. Love all American accents; the more distinguished, the better.

2. Ive met plenty of American women while in a University over there for a while and only a few were stuck up. More of a general ignorance about the world but majority very sound.

3. Do you want to get over-charged food and drink while having some gang of English stag-weekenders stare at your boobs all night? If so, Temple Bar is the place to be!

4. American women seem to have a much more open way of expressing and are alot easier to talk to. Great that they adore my accent so half the work is done for me. Drop dead gorgeous too.:D

5. Plenty stories, had a stalker. That was creepy but flattering!

And OP, saw your pic. You shouldnt have many problems finding a decent guy

I live in the Netherlands and tbh most Americans I meet pretend to be Canadian.

I was talking to an American girl once in a bar in Oslo and she knew I was from Ireland.

She asked "So have you ever been to Europe"

*facepalm*

Depends where their from really, but they have some funny ideas about Europeans, i.e. Their usually surprised to find out that in Ireland we have toilets indoors and not all houses have thatched roofs.

If I hear another American banging on about how small our cars are i'll go on a shooting rampage.

Haha! I saw a bunch of American backpackers at Amsterdam Central Station. They all had Canadian Maple Leafs attached to their rucksacks yet they were carrying US passports. I told them that they were a bunch of dickheads who weren't fooling anybody. Naive assholes.

Honestly, I have heard different things of what to expect when going to Ireland.
I'm not going to Ireland to hook up with anyone, but how can you go to another country and not be abit interested in the opposite sex?
I want answers, straight forward and through some other stuff in there if you would like. Just getting an overview of it all. I definately expect to here some banter on here, so bombs away.

They're attention seekers.

And Irish men are suckers for it, apparently.

****, desecrating our noble maple leaf with their Americanness. :pac:

I reckon it's more because Americans have such a horrid reputation abroad and Canadians are apparently (from what people tell me, anyway) known for being overly nice and have a much more favourable reputation.

Either way, I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the idea of Americans masquerading as Canadians

On my mother's side of the family, she has a sister living in Toronto, and a sister living in Seattle, Washington. Whenever the two families get together, it's incredibly entertaining. Especially since the American family are fundamentalist christian Republicans.

Agree with the Candian thing, 95% of Candians I have met were extremely friendly (some VERY friendly!). Next thing you know, the English will start pretending to be Irish. Anarchy on the way

As for the OP, I have found American girls to be a mixed bag. Some very nice, some middling and one particularly horrible girl. So much like everywhere else really. American girls can be very outgoing and more open-minded so that is often a good thing. They love my accent too so that is always a good thing in a country! The Southern accent is my joint favourite with the Jersey accent (Jersey accents just sound funny!). The Southern Belle accent sounds pretty good to foreign ears.

Really? Is it a trend you've noticed?

Strange. Any time people find out I'm Canadian they inevitably know a bunch of other Canadians from god knows where and then go on about how overly nice/polite they were.

It's kind of funny hearing about your own nationality's stereotypes sometimes.

It is true some are friendly enough; I don't think all Canadians are like that though, having lived there I met a few arseholes. I suppose you get them everywhere anyway. I find Americans a lot friendlier and easygoing than Canadians. We are portrayed as drunken idiots all over the world and America is portrayed as dumb. Both are far from the truth in my experience.

Bollocks to you. When In actual fact it's true. I've been the one to kick people out of pools on the continent for wearing swimming trunks as opposed to speedo-types. A lot of non-foreign orientated resorts/pools will have this rule, particularly common in France.

Some swiming pools in France have a speedo rental shop at the pool. Who would want to swim that badly?

There are two things your are guaranteed with American Girls:

1. Nice pearly white teeth
2 A shaved beaver

Latchy · 11-10-2010 01:38PM

If you think about how many Irish girls style themselfs on all things Americana be they models ,actresses or singers over the last few decades and how the American accent has somehow..... evolved and being adopted by some Irish people ( being quite a few threads about this ) who may have lived in America for some time , then it's a good perception of how American women are percieved In Ireland . Generally speaking and from my own expierence of meeting American women in Ireland and abroad , I have always found them to be polite, friendly, stylish ...very good looking , and great fun to be around . And some of those southern girls can drink anybody under the table

1. No, it can be nice if it's not too strong.
2. Irish girls are way more stuck up.
3. Stay away from Temple Bar. Save yourself the money and go to other, genuine places in Dublin.
4. Yez are a lot more approachable and friendly than most Irish girls.
5. I've had quite a few happy endings.

I could give you a variety of reasons for tourists to stay away from there.

More on topic, American girls are great. I find the American girls that visit Ireland are pretty intelligent. I've had actual intellectual conversations with American girls over here for a semmester that I rarely have with Irish girls
