Irish Girls

    What's the opinion on here of the reputation Irish girls seem to have got for being easy?

    I've travelled quite a bit for work and a common theme is that the Irish girls have a reputation. A few German guys have said it to me, Dutch guys, American and Australian. The only place I've been in which it wasn't raised with me was the UK. What's the deal?

    My girlfriend who is Irish agrees with the label, doesn't like it but can see why people think it.

    My mother is American and believes it.

    I've worked with Polish women who also said it (but I think they didn't like Irish women out of spite any way)

    Australians told me the place to get women in Sydney was the Irish bar scruffy Murphys but you'd wake up next to a disaster in the morning.

    Again none of this is my opinion. My own opinion is that some American, Irish and girls from the UK have become ladettes and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I don't like lads, so I guess I don't like the ladettes either

    So what is the wider audiences views?

    This is really the view point you need to be thinking from.

    "Foriegn girls in foreign places looking for casual fun, what makes them any different to local girls in foreign places looking for casual fun?"

    Just because someone has a bit of a fling with someone from abroad and heard the same amongst peers, it's false to assume this means all from abroad are easy. If someone is abroad on a limited term, such as the "gap year" some folks seem to do, it's unlikely they would be interested in getting tied down with a more formal relationship while abroad.

    Well if you read any of those threads in AH at the weekends on Irish girls being stuck up, it appears us Irish girls are both extremes.

    Extremely easy or stuck up. Can't win, can we? :rolleyes:

    It's a bit hard to quantify because a person on holiday (or a year-long trip) will naturally be more outgoing and less stifled by their inhibitions than when they're at home. It's the essence of the holiday romance.

    This effect is probably similar when two people of the same nationality meet on holiday. While they have a rapport, they will likely be a little more inhibited than if they were from different countries because there's a chance that their behaviour will get back to the people at home.

    Go to any country and ask a group of lads who they'd rather get to spend the day with:
    - A group of local women
    - A group of foreign women

    9 times out of ten they'll pick the foreign women because they're more likely to be up for it.
