Stuck Up Irish women who think they are hot

elambra

...yet another case of it last night, walking up the stairs of a certain bar in town and two slightly lower than average Irish girls (the types who are from the countryside and act lke real 'aul ones, gossiping etc. you know the type) are in front of me, one of them says to the other 'oh I love your dress' then turns around to me and said 'isn't her dress lovely?' I said 'yes it is' smiling, just to please them by saying something. I wasn't at all concentrating on looking at them, I just wanted to get back upstairs to my gf and her mates. As they were walking at a slower pace than me it ended up that I started to walk in between them. The one with the 'lovely dress' turns to say to the other one 'check out the little red bits on it' and ends up saying it to me by accident, so naturally I say 'what?' and she gives me a condecending look and lightly pushes me and says 'no you go on..' as if I had stopped to chat her up or something. The cheek of her I just wanted to say to her 'sorry love I wouldn't go near you I thought you were talking to me as you actually spoke in my direction'

Now normally I wouldn't care about things like this but I was sober, and I am just home for christmas, having lived abroad for the last 3.5 years, and I find that, whilst the standard of Irish women is very very low compared to nearly every country I have visited, they are the most stuck up and just think they are god's gift to the world when in fact a large amount of them are just unattractive (physically and personally) moany holes obsessed with british celebrities and food..

Anyway, that's my rant over with, let me know your relavite opinion, and have a good christmas :-)

Another one of these stupid threads that uses one incident to generalise all Irish women. :rolleyes:

I know what you mean I lived in vietnam and thailand for about 3 years and my lifestyle never batted an eyelid - back in Ireland i keep a shoe collection as a hobbie, but Irish women! when they find out they judge and call me a wierdo just because I happen to only collect childrens shoes.

Whatever about a shoe collection but a kids one.... yes that is weird

Just Irish women?What do your Irish male friends think of your kids shoe collection?Im sure there would be some very un open minded Irish men wwho would judge you for that too.

Agreed that you sound seriously stuck up yourself, she never said she thought she was all that...take a look in the mirror 'love'

This is the second thread I've seen on boards.ie specifically started to bitch about Irish women. Sexism and racism all in one!

All the women I know are decent, polite and modest. Yeah yeah we all know foreign fields are greener, and far away cows have longer horns..etc..whatever.. The OP's rant says more about his social life than it does about Irish women. It all depends on where you go and what you are doing.

Lux23

You sound just as bad as those two wagons to be quite honest. So two lushs embarassed you slightl, no reason to say all Irish women are stuck up. Ive had plenty of irish men grope me and insult me but I don't believe you are all sexually inept gombeens.

lol.

Anyway, this is just another "oh hai guys I had an embarrassing moment the other night and it's been playing on my mind since it happened and I just feel I need to express it to someone to ensure that this seemingly irrational feeling I'm having is valid and normal, so I'm going to do it online under the guise of a casual complaint" thread.

It's a psychological trait I see quite often actually. Something really small and insignificant, but a bit embarrassing happens to someone, usually a guy and usually involving a woman, and the guy for some reason feels like he has to tell to everyone about it and dismiss it as "typical Irish women" or something, desperately hoping that others will agree with him to make him feel better. Quite an obvious indication of insecurity tbh.

EDIT: Actually, thinking about it, it's not usually a guy at all, women do it all the time also, bitching about men being useless and the cause of all life's problems.

OP, you are lacking in charm. If you were truly the suave sophisticated gent you believe yourself to be, you would have come up with some witty quip that would have mometarily silenced the two and gone back victoriously to your buddies. You have to learn to handle annoying Biddies without getting all flustered and upset about it.

St Bill

Well OP my opinion is that you think you deserve special treatment because you've been abroad for 3.5 years. People won't know you're fantastically well rounded due to your travels unless you wear a sign saying so. Or another way to show you're fantastically well rounded is to actually realise that maybe those girls were trying to have a bit of banter with you, something which unfortunately went right over your well travelled head

I feel really sorry for the OP. The father of a friend died yesterday and my other friend's mom is in hospital for Christmas suffering from cancer... and now this happens!!! Christmas is definitely canceled this year.

Looking back I think that's where my bitterrness arose from, I didn't come up with anything witty in time

I've calmed down now and I know I shouldn't have generalised, I'm pretty new and I wanted to post my first controversial post - boy did it work

How do u work out that they were "stuck up". Sounds to me like one of them thought u were cute and her friend was trying to orchestrate a conversation by asking u what you thought of her dress.

While I may not agree with the OP's premise based on his fleeting meeting with these two girls on the stairs, I have to agree with his main point partly Irish women while not being hot are indeed full of themselves. I normally don't like making broad sweeping statements like that but in this case it can not be avoided.

Let's look at the case for the prosecution,
Irish women and fashion
One word, midriff as in muffin rolls, case proven your honor.
Irish women and alcohol
Now as a male I know my gender fails when it comes to this subject, yet for some strange reason Irish women try to out do us in the sheer amount consumed in as short a time as possible.
Irish women and their attitude to Irish men
Most of my male friends scrub up fairly well, as in we keep reasonably fit shower regularly etc and so put in the effort but and again I am forced to make generalisations, Irish women view us as a meal ticket. The bar is a distant land never visited, resturant bills a see no evil pay no evil subject and lets not even visit the whole taxi issue.

A friend has been completely turned off dating Irish women (he now only dates women from eastern europe) because and I quote "stand the two beside each other and see if you chose the Irish one"

Now before the hopping off me begins ladies, prove me wrong. How many of ye do venture to that far off place called the bar or use your credit card to pay for anything other than something for yourself and why oh why am I made to feel like I'm belittling ye when I hold open a door or offer a seat on the bus.

Agreed, although ... us blokes aren't exactly perfect either. I'm sure the male population of Ireland doesn't compare too favourably to some other nations either. Lets face it, we're an ugly nation.

Irish women and fashion

True though Spaniards can be worse. Don't get me started on the Germans, if we're bandying about generalisations.

One word, midriff as in muffin rolls, case proven your honor.

Yep. Have to agree here. Irish women are fatter and less toned than the mediteranians or eastern Europeans in general. Walk into a Milan/Parisian/Madridian/etc clothes shop and check out the sizes on the racks. Do the same here. Compare and contrast. Also you tend to get skinny with no hips or fat with no hips, shapely seem to have been lost in the mix. Probably a gene pool thing.

Irish women and alcohol
Now as a male I know my gender fails when it comes to this subject, yet for some strange reason Irish women try to out do us in the sheer amount consumed in as short a time as possible.

Both genders drink way too much, but I have been on the rip in many a European capitol and have never seen the level of drunkenness among women that you get in Ireland(with the honourable exception of Britain).

Irish women and their attitude to Irish men

Yep again the foreign lassies tend to actually like Irish men and certainly ones batting average goes up.

Most of my male friends scrub up fairly well, as in we keep reasonably fit shower regularly etc and so put in the effort but and again I am forced to make generalisations, Irish women view us as a meal ticket. The bar is a distant land never visited, resturant bills a see no evil pay no evil subject and lets not even visit the whole taxi issue.

I have to say Americans can be as bad if not worse.

A friend has been completely turned off dating Irish women (he now only dates women from eastern europe) because and I quote "stand the two beside each other and see if you chose the Irish one"

I'm with your friend on this one. For a myriad of reasons I haven't gone near an Irish woman in nearly 8 years. I have found a certain harshness in them. A certain, "the world owes me something", "daddies little princess" syndrome. While it's present in other cultures, it's seems more prevalent here. Every single one of my mates who has gone elsewhere has never gone back. Which is all good, as the Irish women wouldn't have a bar of us anyway.:D In any case it's better for the gene pool if Irish men and women avoid each other. All that said, two of the sweetest women I know are Irish so...

Now before the hopping off me begins ladies, prove me wrong. How many of ye do venture to that far off place called the bar or use your credit card to pay for anything other than something for yourself

Yes your money is "our" money, her money is hers. Common enough although not universal thankfully.

Best example. Look at the number of internationally known male ex symbols that are Irish. Pierce Brosnan, Colin Farrell, Johnathan Rhys Meyers, Stuart Townsend, Cillian Murphy etc etc and that's just the list of men born here. Add in of Irish extraction, or those in the past and the list gets longer. Now look at the the number of internationally known female sex symbols that are Irish. The latter is a much shorter list and no, the Corrs hardly count.......

Cheek insert tongue....
