The Irish and physical appearance

Melange

I've just been linked to this article, which suggests that the British aren't doing too well on the looks front, at least compared to the Scandinavians. One of the comments caught my eye and got me thinking. It was:

The British should take heart. No "Beautiful People" statistics of course to support my view but generally the average Brit is considerably more attractive than the average Irish person. The Irish tend to be shorter in stature (whayhey! That's why we've great jockeys) but with that goes curiously small facial features squeezed together on an otherwise standard-sized face.

What does everyone think of that? Are we really the physical-appearance untermenschen of the world, below even the British? Do we have the kind of faces that only a mother could love? Personally, I reckon that Irish women can have great bone structure (and I'm a fan of the pale skin / red hair combination on a girl), but that Irish men suffer a little from what could be called potato-head syndrome.

we have a varied spectrum .

Wazdakka

I'm actually 6ft 4, blond, well built, and quite attractive.

Kiss my muscular ass, daily telegraph..

WeeBushy

Speak for yourself. I look like a model :cool:









EDIT: Screw you Wazdakka

I think it's more of a health issue that a looks issue.

Dudess

Someone English said something mean about the Irish - pitchfork-sharpening time.

Pighead

Pighead's no potato head. Not even close.

If he had to equate his head with a vegetable, he'd probably choose whatever is considered to be the sexiest vegetable in the vegetable world. Artichoke perhaps?

I'm 6ft 4' , blonde and well built as well. As are my 3 brothers and most of my mums side of the family. I wouldn't say I'm ugly either.

I really love the classic Irish look on women, pale skin and red hair. Ohhh yeah, super sexy

The Brits have more of a genetic mix. All those dark skinned mots on tv and stuff aren't exactly what i think of when i think of an English girl. They have been receiving huge amounts of immigrants way longer than us. Try compare Ireland in about 100 years when we're a cum bucket of a nation.

Must be time for a nightcap and some racial stereotyping again.

If there is a difference between the British and Irish physical appearence then it's not that much different except you'll see a more full , round , ruddy, red faced appearence in males and females in both british and Irish countrysides .City born people tend to have a more oval shaped face .Of course this is only generalisation

I think we have a lovely "natural" sort of beauty as a country. I think alot of us Irish people have nice eyes especially.
Although as a whole country,I think Indian women are the most attractive.
Any I've seen are so beautiful, lucky beatches! :-)
I think Irish men are lovely,there's a good mix to suit every type.

British chicks better looking than irish?

no wai, a lot of british chicks look 'fake' and plastic. like they are trying much too hard to look good. i don't know, its just something about them that puts me off. irish ones seem much better looking + more tread on the tyres

There's no such thing as an English appearance anyway - we're so multicultural here, it'd be impossible to try and describe a typical English person.

The whole "black Irish" look (fair skin, blue eyes, dark hair) can be stunning.

Use your imagination!

I think irish women have a really natural beauty. Its just there!! A lot of us wimmins look just as good without make up etc as we we do with it

Ooh, ta!

Admittedly the peepers are more of a greyish blue than simply blue.

I think we're getting better looking (or maybe its the high number of Eastern Europeans around that I'm confusing with Irish people ).

When I see schoolkids they don't seem to be as pustular and gawky as I remember a lot of us being when I was in school in the 1990s, they look TV standard attractive a lot of them!

I think a lot of Irish women have really beautiful pale skin that you don't see very often anywhere else.

Irish people are truly the most hideous bunch that ever lived.

The amount of inbreeding that must have gone on by our 'incesters' must have been incredible. Our horrible yellow teeth, spotty mouths, unibrows, freckley shoulders and faces are reason enough for the rest of the world in their beauty to neuter us.

To top it of some even choose to wear these fukkin things to complete the effect: http://www.freewebs.com/kerryteam/Kerry-Jersey.jpg http://mayogaablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/new-jersey.jpg

I Dunno ,when I was growing up in Dublin Ireland back in the 70s/80s, the place was full of rael beauts ,they were everywere .All that's changed is they have got older and their daugthers are carrying on the Jeans genes

Another ugly cunt generalising and putting others down to make themselves feel like they're normal.

How dare you tar Pighead with your own ugly brush. Just because you possess those traits, it doesn't mean that everybody in the country does. Pighead has a rather hairy bottom yet he wouldn't be so crass as to go up to a woman on the street and say "How's your hairy bottom love?"

We area all different brendansmith. You'd do well to remember that.

I like girls.

Nationality doesn't matter.

Ye're all lovely.

Indian women yes beautiful at a young age, have you seen any attractive over 40 year old ones?

Pighead's not usually one to brag but seeing as you've asked, yes Pighead is indeed stunning. If he were a chocolate he'd be a caramel barrel. If he were a bird, he'd be a majestic swan. If he were a field he'd be a beautiful field full of healthy barley.

Why try and squish the barrel, brendan? Why kill the swan? Why piss in the barley-field? Embrace Pighead's beauty and only then will you learn to love yourself.
