Red Heads?

Ireland is the joint red head capital of the world (along with Scotland). Its still relatively low % though, around 10%. Lots of red heads will dye their hair to hide it too. So that plus fake tans makes them look normal. Daywalkers, if you will.

Nice breakdown Zatara. What about daytime though? I am aware of Grafton street and Trinity college for D2. Outside of those area not so much.
Temple Bar is crazy expensive for drinks. I paid €12.70 for a grey goose and lemonade in Buskers. Could have bought a bottle for €50-60 at the airport. There's is one nightclub in Temple Bar that is full of Irish people. Alchemy. Only been twice and it is easily 2-3 times busier during freshers month. Club M may have be full of Irish too but I wasn't in there long enough to find out. From my observation with Alchemy is is if the back entrance is open it is going to be busy, if not then go elsewhere. Back entrance being around the side.
I'm not huge on daygame I'm afraid, always figured its easy enough to meet girls in bars and its far less effort doing that when out with mates than going out specifically to chat up girls. Plus it being easier with everyone drunk. I think with the mentioned bitch shields Irish girls would possibly be quite hostile to a lot of day-game style stuff I've seen. If you had to though, yeah, Grafton Street, Trinity College, St Stephens Green / Merrion Square (both city parks) all in the south of the city centre (D2 area) would be the go to places.
Alchemy in Temple Bar is a fairly young spot, I dont think it gets many people over 21. Play nightclub on D'Olier Street (close to Temple Bar) is similar in crowd/geography. I havent been to either in 5+ years so I didnt want to mention them through hearsay alone. Might be an option for younger guys, though. Club M is notorious for being either ghetto people (knackers, in local parlance - what Brits call chavs) or British stag/hen parties. I'd give it a fairly strong 'avoid' rating.

I've brought this up before and heard crickets, but is Cork much worse during the summer than the rest of the year? The reason why I ask is that I know that Cork is a university city and many of the girls from there go to the Jersey Shore or to other parts of the United States during the summer.
I've been to Cork in summer and its...quiet. Most Irish college students spend their summer outside of Ireland (the US, Canada, S-E Asia, interrailing around Europe etc). So that combined with Cork not being particularly big to begin with (200k in the urban area) means there's not a whole lot of choice in summer. September, when college is back but weather isnt awful yet, would be a better time to visit if you can swing it.
