Why do Irish girls like to look orange?

supernova84

It looks horrible and I can't understand how girls plaster so much of the stuff on. I'd rather a girl sans all the orangeness, hope I'm not alone here?

All girls are born Protestant, then their hymen is broken and they break out in freckles.

Did the 'marching season' start early this year?

They don't, you just hang around with skangers.

Umpa lumpas, we all loved that film.

We're not all orange

My name is URL

Some people definitely do take the whole summer glow thing a bit too far, but feck it, they're the ones paying for it and it's easy to spot and avoid.. it's like wearing a traffic cone on your head as far as I care.

So the guys can "concentrate" on them.

I'm an Irish girl and I don't like to look orange :rolleyes:

Some Irish girls. Actually, you could probably even take out the Irish and just say some girls.

I never fake tan. It smells terrible and I'm too lazy to be honest.

Ugh, it's revolting.
What's worse is when these tangotastic girls don't match the tan to their face so they've got an orange face and a white body or vice versa.
Well applied makeup and a good outfit can make you look ten times better than some hastily applied orange goo that can make you look scruffy and tarty.
I don't know anyone who thinks it's an attractive look.

I like it when they have orange faces and white necks.

Yep, the Irish female glows a bright orange in order to signal to the lesser and weaker Irish male that she is ready to mate in order to get a free house from the council and many welfare benefits

Uriel.

I've found recently that the incidence of "orange" had reduced dramatically. Maybe I'm just frequenting bars that have a slightly older clientele.

Orange = jailbait I find

Hang on a second, pale face and orange body.

You have definitely been tangoed.

+1 - it's revolting.

Jeremy Clarkson writing in 2008...

I was in Dublin last weekend, and had a very real sense I’d been invited to the last days of the Roman empire. As far as I could work out, everyone had a Rolls-Royce Phantom and a coat made from something that’s now extinct. And then there were the women. Wow. Not that long ago every girl on the Emerald Isle had a face the colour of straw and orange hair. Now it’s the other way around.

Like him or loathe him he's got a point on this one.

My girlfriend has just informed me that the orange look comes from too much cheap fake tan and cheap foundation. There you go.

NinetyTwo

There's a woman who lives around the corner from me who takes it way too far. Her face and neck are pretty much glowing orange while the rest of her body is ignored, and so, noticeably pale. Saw her and her husband speaking outside my house today and was wondering why the fuck he doesn't say something?

Fratton Fred

I can understand that women may want to look orange and pile on the fake tan.

The question should be, why do so many Irish men like to look orange, that is waaaay more concerning.

Then I suggest you focus your attention on non penny's tan buying town bikes.

Just do sunbeds like me. The cancer scare is better than looking like a knackbag.

I don't know any D4 "gals" as far as I'm aware. Is it more common in dublin? I don't see it that much around here.

Its to cover up the corned beef look skin Im afraid, too many years coming in out of the cold and sitting in front of the fire. Well thats my opinion anyway.

Lack of duck face with fake tan and low cut top's picks is..... disapoint?~?

Larianne

My theory is that a girl applies some fake tan for a night out etc. Looks okay-ish, but then that starts to wear off after 2-3 days, so what to do they do, apply MORE fake tan on top of that to try even it out, which never works. And this builds up and you end up with the oompa loompa look.

Use Sally Hansen or MAC Face and Body if you want to even out your skintone.

You can be pale without looking like a ghost.

You have to understand why some men prefer to say nothing.

A man is walking behind his wife and says,

"Honey, you're getting fat, your backside is as wide as a washing machine."

The woman says nothing and keeps walking.

Bed time, the man tries to get a little bit of loving.

The woman says, "I can't start the washing machine for such a small load.
You'll have to hand wash it yourself!"

Its probably not something he gives a semi about. Certainly not worth a break-up even if its ugly and christ knows he'd have an ordeal on him if he mentioned "you're a little orange today honey"

Who likes it? I like Irish women. I dont like that so many have to be orange but much like someone who knows sweeties arent perfect or good for them I still find them tempting. Doesnt mean I would settle down to live with an Ummpa Loopa but Im sure if you get to know them they could be great in person, if not a preference in skin tone
