First Dates Ireland *read first post*

Programme was fine, still enjoyable, but not as good as the past weeks, some good matches, was actually a bit disappointed at the end that they didn't give us a more recent update.

I liked My Chemical Romance, thought they fitted well together. She was a cracker, he seemed nice, a bit shy, possibly thought she was out of his league lookswise.

Elvira was a cracker, also seemed to have her life back on track which is always good. I'd say she had a tough upbringing here in the 90's and noughties. He seemed like a slight bit of a PITA. You wouldn't like to be stuck beside him on a flight to Los Angeles. I wonder did he ever recite the Kango poem to the lads on the site and did they cry or did they throw a lump hammer at him?

D'Unbelievables-Copacabana were a great match, Holy Christ, but I had her at 35, maybe 38. She's some looker. He seemed sound. The end credit seemed to indicate they got the ride that night, but you'd love an update. I suppose we'll have to wait for Facebook.

And then there's Hughie. He's probably on a retainer to go on at this stage. His date seemed dead sound, a far cry from the wanker who he was with last time out. Hughie has a lot of inner insecurities, he'd be better off spending his money on a shrink than on a newly sculpted cock or a freshly waxed and sprayed scrotum.

Staff are getting even more annoying this year; the waiter sitting down beside the couples is pissing me off, as is the barman. He has no sense of discretion.

Agree with most of your assessment, but there's a few oddities in there.

I'm late 30s, as are most of my friends. The Brazilian lady, whilst seemingly a nice person, could in no way pass for 35 or 38. She looks at least a decade older than anybody in my social circle. Frankly, she looked her age. Perhaps, she appeared younger in contrast to her date, who was an exceptionally old looking 46 year old. To be fair to the chap, he had experienced significant health issues, which likely have aged him.

Elvira was far from a 'cracker'. Pleasant enough looking, but certainly not a head turner. She seems like a decent enough sort, but a lot of guys would run a mile from the emotional baggage.

The young blonde girl from Terenure was by far the prettiest female dater in this episode.

So the guy doesn't have his own trauma so has to borrow some from his gay brother for the show. Can people exist on this show without having to be pittied.

Wasn't he recently out of college - how much life do you expect him to have lived by his early 20s!!?

Yes I would say being described as uninteresting or boring is a bad thing

That was a hilarious exchange

Omg all the posters on boards have their knives out for eachother

Can't believe so many men on here watch first dates
