Why are Irish people so ugly?

    (^^^If you type "why" into google.ie. For some reason, typing "why" then space this question moves up one.)

    I was having a conversation with a stunning girl from Cork (i.e. not really Ireland) about why people from Ireland are ugly. The conversation originated from a Romanian (i.e. not Roma) taxi driver with extensive knowledge.

    I'm ruddy-faced, hairy and pale but still incredibly beautiful by international standards. So, what's the story?

    Edit: link fixed.

    Try also typing in "I'm terrified of" into google. :D

    We are probably more inbred then mainland europe and our ancestors were a bit slower then everyone else when it came to getting civilised.

    As an outsider; Irish people aren't ugly.. it's just some weird inferiority complex you've got going on

    If I type 'why' into the Google search bar on my browser the top suggestion is 'why are black people so loud' in second place we have 'why can't I own a Canadian' and in a respectable third, 'why is my poop green'

    true story

    Google really is a mine of information

    And if you type "Why are" into Google, the second suggestion is "why are the irish impervious to psychoanalysis".

    Other way round actually. We were there first and then the others got curious, decided to pay us a visit and ended up plundering the bejasus out of the place :D

    We are not ugly - the rest of the world just don't have the brains/sight to appreciate and comprehend our beauty.
    End of story. I feel sorry for them. :D

    But Irish peopel share the same ancestry as people from The Basque region and the Pyrenees area an they can be quite doable!

    From Google.ie, if you type in 'why', the second suggestion is 'why are Irish people so ugly', no joke. A lot of people are looking for answers.

    (My suggestion: probably such a crap diet)

    I'm fully Irish on both sides, but somehow i'm very tanned, have dark brown hair and eyes and am small (typical Irish trait) but my features don't look Irish or anything. And before anyone says it I'm sure that I'm not adopted and that my parents are my parents!!

    Its an inbuilt defence mechanism. The uglier you are, the less chance there is of being rogered by a priest.

    It doesn't come up if you try on google.com

    That said, the 4th suggestion down on google.com is "Why can't I own a Canadian" so obviously different places have different pressing issues...

    Being told you're not ugly by the English is like being told you're not a bad dad by Josef Fritzl.

    Do you have a family tree going back 400 generations or so? What do you consider Irish features to be? Seriously interested as I've been reading some books on genetics and ancestry.

    16-year-old guys tend to be attracted to pretty much anything. So sorry, your vote doesn't count.

    Google really is a mine of information

    Our low genetic diversity increases the chances that reccessive mutations will show themselves (and many of these cause decreased attractiveness). In people with a more diverse genetic heritage many of these ugly genes remain unexpressed giving them a more attractive appearance.
