    Without drink? Fair enough so.

    Sometimes but I guess if I am honest I do occasionally have some dutch courage but I have chatted men up in shops, cinema queues, the post office. But I am an unusual case in that I have no shame with strangers but with people I am friendly with I can be very shy.

    /hides under table :p

    But the research suggest otherwise more Irish men are overweight than Irish women or did you read it?

    I do it all the time. I have no problem doing it.

    It's much easier for women to approach men in fairness.

    Fair play though as so many women would never even think about making the first move.

    I'm a bit of an idiot like that. I was out last night and there were a few girls hanging around and I sort of got the impression they were waiting for me to go talk to them. I was standing with my mate in the club and I seen this girl going to the bar and I seen her looking at me and saying something to her friend.

    A few minutes later her and her friends were all standing near me and my mate, just hanging around and dancing. They ended up going to the dance floor and when they came back they again stood on the other side of us where we could see them better.

    Did I even say hello? Of course not.

    Irish mean are obsessed by watching and talking about sports. But few bother to actually play them. Personally I hate watching and discussing sport and prefer to do, but its been a challenge lately what with endless cold/flu and stupid rain

    Well maybe but the fact that at 27 the longest relationship Ive had is 5 months I should really return to the more retro sitting in a corner looking coy. ;) Or I will be chatting up the other OAPs while queuing for my pension.

    I love both types of girls. Coy but making eye contact is very sexy. Starting to chat is also very very sexy as the guy then knows he can at least be himself and not have to use some cheesy chatup lines.

    I would much rather a girl who is 5/10 in looks with a knockout friendly presonality than a 10/10 in looks and doesn't she know it.

    Yeah, but if I am in cinema queue and a girl says "Jesus, these f*cking queues are a nightmare" - I don't think .. woo haay, "I've still got it" :)

    But, if she starts asking me "What film am I seeing" etc .. then, that to me is 'chatting up'.

    David Beckham - King of the Metrosexuals? How did he get that title, by having a bare knuckle slap fight with Cristiano Ronaldo in some field surrounded by metros?

    LOL!!!

    I think Beckham won it before Ronaldo and his terrifyingly waxed eyebrows (and everything else, apparently) hit the scene...And without an equivalent of Posh by his side, pushing him into black nail polish, sarongs and Armani underwear ads, how can Ronaldo really ever top Becks?

    Oh, wait, maybe he can.

    Interesting. Cause I'll do that if I'm bored - irregardless of attraction or not. its just a nicer way to pass time than standing there to me. somteims gets on my nerves when girls assume its a chatup:eek:

    OK, he is tall and very fit but I can't imagine that any woman would find it attractive when her boyfriend's shorts were shorter than hers.

    Yes but had you never seen rio ferdinand like that would you have labeled him a "metro-sexual" :D

    TBH I didn't know who Rio Ferdinand was until just now, but based on a quick Google search, I would categorize him as "tacky" maybe rather than metro.

    I think metrosexual implies someone who is super-high maintenance, not only with their fitness, but with their grooming, diet, clothes, etc. There has to be a happy medium between the guy who shaves twice a month, showers twice a week, and has a gut, and the guy who spends 3 hours a day at the gym and needs 30 minutes to comb his hair.

    Apologies, I momentarily neglected the fact you're american and you'd have more of a chance knowing who david beckham was as opposed to knowing rio ferdinand :D

    But none of these are Irish men sooooo does anyone know of an Irish "metro-sexual"

    Being football unconscious I know very little about Ronaldo. But from that photo I would categorise him as 'flaming'. he's even wearing a boob tube! thats not metro, thats just plain cross-dressing
