    Personality-wise I would care too much about them. But I would have to agree that the average Polish chick is definitely a lot fitter than the average Irish one (significantly thinner, no ridiculous fake tans and/or badly bleached blonde hair for starters).

    I'm seeing this more often. Most of my female friends are in long-term relationships with foreigners and both of my sisters are married to foreigners. My current guy is foreign and haven't gone out with an Irish man in 4 years.
    I have two sisters who married foreigners to with one previously married to an Irishman before divorce but that's just coincidental .

    My observations: I live in Spain where the women are hot but they tend to go for the hot, local men. Hot women go for hot men and visa versa. There's exceptions but generally that's the case. We don't get a look in.
    From observations on holidaying in that region I would agree .There is an obious attraction between the hot natives of both sexs and Spanish /Latin women will galdly flirt with white guys and smile while passing comments like '' you have nice blues eyes '' but they do in the main tend to stick with their own kind .

    Did you not read my posts?.

    They block doorways!.

    As for being an eyesore, well I've never been attracted to fat girls - thats just how they roll :D

    But you're built like a brick-shít-house so you too could be blocking the door :rolleyes:

    I agree that they are pretty but so are Irish women. I have been to Poland a few times and they are all ridiculously thin but that's because they don't eat. All they do is puff on fags all day, its disgusting. I'm sure most men would pick a woman that eats over a smoker anyday. Not all Irish women are overweight!

    Yeah, smoking is definitely a turn off as far as Eastern Europeans are concerned.

    I could just be arrogant but when I was in Rome I got the feeling i was being checked out quite a bit. I'm quite pale, so maybe it was because i'm different looking to their own kind. which may be the same for irish men then.
    that or i had something in my teeth :o
    Italian guys would get up on the crack of a plate. Not distracting from you're looks of course, but it is true.

    In terms of women, If you were to take the top 0.01% of every nationality in the world, based on physical beauty, Ireland would be up near the top.

    A beautiful, pale skinned, dark haired Irish girl with big bright eyes is second to none.

    However, if you take the average Josephine Soap, or pick a handful at random from the streets of each country in the world, we'd be lagging way behind.

    Not sure if you can say the same for guys, I think we're a fairly awful bunch either way. Our top specimens would probably lose out to the likes of the bigger, more powerful looking Eastern Europeans, Africans and South Americans.

    On the other hand, the Irish accent, for a reason unknown to me, totally swings things in our favour. The sh*t I've gotten away with, and the people I've impressed with my accent have had me punching WAY above my weight, in terms of work and women abroad.

    Do french people love their children? :p

    Take a look at Susan Ma and you'll realize why there's so much more to foreign women!

    I'm now living in London and the standard of the average girl here is so high! These girls work hard on their dress sense and fitness.

    Funnily enough the Irish women that you hear speaking on the tube and the few that i've met are actually better looking that the average Irish woman, I think its down the the fact that they just had to seriously up their game when they came here.

    well guys?
    I know of a lot of my friends that are more attracted to eastern european/ south American/ australian women, why so?

    Better the devil you know. There is no nirvana of perfect women. Because they are foreign does not make them more perfect - it merely makes their failings less familiar to you at first.

    There are shít women in every society. There are shít men in every society. Irish women are fairly cool, even though I've yet to meet one who can cook as well as my Mam (although, for the craic, I'll always offer to ring up my Mam so she can help them cook. If looks could kill. hehe)

    i travel from Ireland to Finland very regularly and have noticed one thing

    99.99% of couples heading to and from finland have only one dynamic

    Irish blokes - Finnish women , you could have ten couples , most with kids and is almost always Irish guy and Finnish wife/girl friend , every flight , every time

    i don't think i have seen it the other way around - Irish girl and Finnish bloke

    so this says two things , either Irish women don't like Finnish men or Finnish men don't like Irish women

    so looking good for us blokes but not so for Irish gals
    has anyone else noticed this ? why is the figure so stacked one way and not the other ?

    Spoken like a true connoisseur. There is another word for a female connoisseur of men, just can't think of it now but I'm sure it begins with S, and ends in T

    Well from your perspective of women, I wouldn't call you a gentleman. What you said is offensive and insulting by referring to me with a derogatory term because I expressed my opinion about most men in general which are very different from most men of my father's generation who were gentlemen and treated women with respect and decency, that is why I said there are a lack of men in general. You shouldn't disrespect and use derogatory terms for women who have the intelligence to know the difference between a immature man and a gentleman who has respect for women.

    All this Irish women bashing... Sorry fellas, you're not so perfect yourselves.


    (i should start a thread about how much hotter Italian/American/French men are :P)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 93 ✭✭MrSausage


    Last Irish girl I went out with, after a long term break up was to say the least tough work.
    1 thing that sticks in my memory is her obsession with her weight (she was far from a slim girl), again not an issue. Seemed pretty sound and was with her for a few months. Anyway, 1 night we get a take away and she rings to order, orders for us both (I'm not in the room but can clearly hear) and a double cheesburger for who?. She drives and when she gets back I say did you not get a cheeseburger? Floods of tears. Eaten in the car!
    No sympathy from me and i apologise not for not throwing my arms around her and saying all will be ok.
    That aside, give her a drink or two and she was a pretty abusive asshole-took a few months for that to come out-the last straw being on holiday in Eastern Europe 18 months ago. Red carded her on 1st night as I'd had enough. Met a lovely girl (EE) on the same night when I hit the town alone and have not looked back since.
    Comparisons if I can:
    Irish girls for the most part are top class, I had a run of bad luck with relationships. Some as posted before seem to think they deserve the David Beckhams of this world. Good luck if you can find.
    Eastern Europeans: Pretty, Fo sHo, hard work..isn't any relationship? But for commitment I've yet to see anything like it. But be warned, the same is expected back.
    I'll add to this in a bit. It's interrupting my drinking:D

    Why are people attracted to exotic people and viceversa because opposites attract it's human nature!!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,876 ✭✭✭Spread


    I'd add something to do with WW2 and Israel to that list

    And anything questioning the integrity of Chris de Burgh's daughter :)

    well the thread is about do Irish guys fancy non Irish girls more than the home grown variety
    so there are going to be opinions for and against
    plenty of posters stating how great Irish girls are,
    and in fairness it would not reflect the truth unless some negative comments
    were also posted

    did some one not say something about irish girls being so bloody sensitive ??

    and yes start a thread about how hot Spanish/Italian men are but you will get the same type of comments


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 444 ✭✭RainbowRose81


    I thought this thread is about Irish men being attracted to exotic women.

    Well, Eastern Europeans are hardly exotic, most of them look Irish..most Europeans look Irish, same skin colour etc.

    I'm a girl and have been living there three years.
    The only thing that changed is my accent now has some kind of novelty value. Do you really consider there to be that much of a difference?

    Nah I disagree, I find the older woman from hot climates especially to be rather odd and leathery <-(forgive the spelling) looking.

    There's just something about an Irish woman :o and I couldn't give a toss about other countries dissing my wimmin and fellow man for our ugliness...I knows what I like and that's what matters :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,056 ✭✭✭tan11ie


    Well a colleague of mine who is due to marry a Hungarian girl says the difference as he sees it (having gone out with many Irish and non Irish girls, he's a looker) is that non Irish are "more into their men" where as Irish girls tend to be harsher on their fellas.
    The Irish ones are a little like "youre lucky to even be with me" and treat em mean, less carrot and more stick.
    Whereas the non Irish girls do not see it as "beneath" them to really look after their man. Not in a slavish/mammyish way but...more carrot, less stick...if that makes sense.

    This might sound old fashioned to us now and this is obviously somewhat of a generalization but speaking for myself, the idea of someone being really into looking after me and me after them sounds pretty appealing.

    Plus, everyone likes a bit of strange.

    So what your saying is that they are easier ..

    Eastern european women are not as hairy as Irish women, looking at women with hairy lips, underarams and knuckles is a bit of a turn off.. and they don't sweat as much
