Irish women have really high standards though.

Speaking entirely personally, I'd have started that sentence with the word "some"!

As for riding foreigners, It's what us pasty Irish Fella's voted yes for when the Maastricht and Lisbon treaties went to the public!

Bring on the foreign women who find us "exotic"

Yeah and Spanish guys who grew up in Spain know what Spanish girls look like, not our awful looking yokes! Pint and a pack of Majors.

See Irish men are generally very attractive and in decent shape. Lots of world famous Irish male heart throbs.

The Irish women...not so much

So it makes sense that the Irish men have the pick of all nationalities. Irish women chasing Irish men also.

Theres so many good looking Irish women as there are so many average/ugly looking foreign women!!

The majority of the women I've been with have been foreign, a lebanese who was sound, an italian that was off the head and now I'm with a Spanish girl, she is the best!

This. They take great pride in their women. For a Spanish man they are the most beautiful. I said It to my friends about latinas and Eastern european women and they said they would always go for a spanish girl.

I'm a bloke, almost 30 and have been with my Mexican gf for almost a year.

Of my male friends, all are going out with Americans, Austrians, Australians, Brazilians, Spanish and even more Mexicans. Only one of us is with an Irish girl.

Contrast this with my female friends and not one of them is going out with a foreign lad.

What with the advent of Tinder and ever growing multi-culturalism going on in Dublin it seems many blokes are looking for a bit of strange but women not as much or at least that's what I have found in my own circle.

So I was wondering are we going to see heaps of single Irish women in the next few years?

and more importantly does this mean we are going to have a good national football team in a few years?

Simple answer is girls not from Ireland generally, take pride in their apperance, are not stuck up and are up for a laugh

Imagine being an average to below-average looking Spanish, Slovak or Polish woman with all these supermodels in your midst. Must be hard.

At least in Ireland, we’re all swampdonkeys together!

Funny enough though I recently met a couple, she was Mexican and he was Irish, I felt kinda sorry because she was lovely and he was such a boring berkeen. Hope it wasn't you guys;)

Latin girls and Irish lads tend to make a good match I find.

Latin girls are used to guys being very OTT, cheating, getting crazy jealous etc. Whereas Irish lads tend to be pretty relaxed and quite loyal in relationships.

From the lads perspective Latin girls are very feminine and quite approachable. And being fairly relaxed, Irish lads tend to deal quite well with their eccentric moments.

I'm not sure the match works quite so well the other way which is perhaps why you don't see so many.

Spanish bloke here with an irish girl. We exist!

Strange, because when I go around in Dublin all mixed couple I see are almost always Irish woman with africans, muslims and sometimes indians. And usually the women are beautiful. I even saw few times recently Irish women with east asian which I found strange. The Irish men I see with foreigner girl usually the girl is east asian, but those kind of couples are more rare.

Why? There are plenty of foreigners in Ireland.

There's over 200 Chinese people in my home town alone between students, expat workers, and those who have settled here.

But in my case, I've been back in Ireland for the last year, and have been living in Asia before that. In Ireland, I've mostly met my foreign dates through friends or on weekends hanging out in Dublin. I tend to avoid Internet dating like the plague. It's far too dishonest.

A lot of Irish women aren't stuck up, absolutely take pride in their appearance, and are very much up for a laugh.

That's a baffling statement, tbh.

I think one of the major differences is that Irish women tend to try to be "one of the lads" (drinking heavily, partying, etc). I've noticed that other cultures outside of UK/Ireland don't have this, and women behave far differently, perhaps closer to the traditional ideas of a "lady".

I don't mean that as a criticism of Irish women. Each culture is different. Most Irish guys I know prefer Irish women. I don't, but then I never got into the drinking culture in Ireland.

I was in Lisbon last August. There was an Irish guy at a bar we were at one night loudly going on about how awful Irish women were: ugly, stuck up, you name it. It was like a live action AH thread. He was also rating other nationalities. Honestly came across like a sad sack and was of course nothing special to look at himself.

Live in Spain and am with a local so its my missus who is the one going out with a foreigner.

I see plenty of local-foreign couples here, though the majority would be local girl, foreign boy, make of that what you will.

I don't disccriminate against Irish girls when choosing a partner, it's just the way things have turned out. I'm attracted to people for who they are, where they're from is irrelevant.

Banged the brains out of a busty Brazilian babe who was mad for some Irish love baton only a few weeks ago after one of their World Cup games. Her English wasn’t great, but the language of love is universal, as is the phrase ‘fûck me harder you bastard’. Didn’t get to stay the night as she shared a room with 5 others, and they were sharing a can in the kitchen waiting for us to finish. Still, had a good time.

Wouldn’t rule it out again in future.

Cupcake_Crisis

My ex was foreign and exotic! Lovely guy, very fond memories. Also dated a few Canadians during my time there, so I would have been the foreigner. There was a Greek in there somewhere too. I’d have no problem sampling some foreign delights again.

I don't know if that's so much a cultural thing as a personal thing. Perhaps in Asian women but I've certainly known plenty of foreign ladettes.

Canadian, American, Swedish, Finnish, French, Spanish, Dutch, German, to name a few.

I love the way Paddy has his eye on a demographic tipping point up the road.

And is blind as a bat with the foreign influx - I reckon there is a tipping point coming here in about 3 or 4 decades.
I mean think about it - it is not like there are mechanisms to stop it. We are already somewhere north of 10% but many urban areas feel like closer to 20-25%.
In the eyes of some - pointing that out makes me KKK.

And I agree with you, but in my experience, there is a greater leaning towards the "ladette" in Ireland. (although that might be a bit strong since we're not talking tomboys here). As for Asia, the culture is far different and more chauvinistic, so women don't have as much chance to share behaviors with men.

MadDog76

I tried the whole foreign gf thing (in the early days when it was fashionable) but still eventually married an Irish girl..... the foreign girls (and lads for that matter) will just never fully get the Irish culture, sense of humour etc.
They just don't cut it to be brutally honest.

Also, and this is purely my generalised opinion based on my personal observations, any Irish lads who I've met/known who establish a long term relationship with a foreign girl seem to be lacking in "something" socially-speaking...... I'm not saying they couldn't get an Irish girl long term but.......

SilverPenney

The consensus in this thread appears to be that Irish men tend to be more commonly going out with foreigners as opposed to Irish women, which I find strange tbh, and not at all what I witness in my own anecdotal experience. Its very common to see Irish girls with black/Muslim fellas on the streets these days........I don't think that I've ever seen one Irish man going with a Black/Muslim girl, only the odd east Asian.

You know there are foreign people who are not Muslim or black?

And? I see many africans and muslims with nice irish girls but never the other way around.

That is weird. You never see a young south dublin girl with some brazilian or spanish lad(it does happen but rarely) but you'll always see some young wan with a black or arab guy. Probably to do with social status.

Jorah

Same thing in England you almost never see a white man with a black girlfriend.

9/10 times mixed race people have a black father and a white mother.

You can see this on Love Island UK where there are white girls with black/mixed race men yet the black/non white women rarely get a look in from the white guys.

I have my own theory as to why this is. You see a similar thing with East Asians. Whenever you get a half asian half white person in America the Father will usually be White and the mother Asian.

I also have my own theory, and is related to sizes. Small men go for east asian as they think they fit better there. Women also search for sizes and go with africans. You also add the big percentage of homosexual european men and you will see way more white women with non white men than white men and non white women.

Size is definitely a factor...... larger ladies tend to struggle to find white/Caucasian/European men willing to accept their size as attractive whereas a lot of black/African men seem to prefer the larger women.
