The reason people rarely come across enough Irish girls to talk about them is simple:

There are so few of them.

Ireland is a tiny, tiny country!

Bad teeth, posture, bird like features, freckly skin, they are a mess. It's a fucking shame too, because you see some of the more 'pure' Irish girls, the ones with the black wavy hair and blue eyes and they are unmatched in Europe, you wouldn't pick them for either northern or southern European.

Ireland is one of the most genetically homogenous countries in the world, I don't know where you're getting any notion of this mongrel genes stuff. The only substantial immigration to Ireland has been in the last 15 years, and even then most of it has been from other European countries. The population is still 96% white and European as of the 2011 census. 'Pure' Irishness is the average Irish look of light brown hair, blue eyes, and pale skin - the 'black Irish' look of dark hair and sallow skin is a myth not born out by actual demographic facts.

Understand your point bro, but homogeneity is a very subjective term. Sociologically speaking, "Irish" as a nationality probably came into existence after the English had colonised most of the country. Before then, the Island has seen its original Briton inhabitants overruled by the Celts (who didn't change the gene pool), the Norse (who injected many people, mainly men) into the population, the Norman French and finally the English.

But yes, "Black Irish" is anecdotal, however it is not without merit. The original inhabitans of Ireland were more than likely dark haired, olive skinned people. I would associate this look with men like James Nesbitt, Liam Neeson etc. anyway off track.

Perhaps this is just anecdotal but I did notice a large number of roman noses.

Norse immigration to Ireland was marginal in raw numbers, as was Norman. I don't have data for the Norman genetic legacy at hand, but Norse DNA is found in less than 0.5% of Irish people today. The new immigrant ruling class in both cases was gradually subsumed by the numerically superior natives, in the limited areas that they did manage to control. The English planations were substantial in certain areas (ie. Ulster in the C17th), but involved large numbers of Scots for the most part - who were extremely genetically similar to the native Irish. If you want to talk mixing from Celtic migration with any prehistoric natives you're looking at 5000 years ago...at which time point almost no nation on the planet had its current occupants.

Homogeneity is anything but subjective, genetically speaking. The current inhabitants of the island of Ireland are almost exactly the same genetically as the inhabihants were 500, 1000, or even 2000 years ago - unlike in most other regions on the planet. This is extremely rare. Ireland is one of the worst possible examples you could have used for your "mongrel mixing" point, that was why I felt the need to call you on it. Apologies if this comes accross at at all aggressive, but people throwing around anecdotal myths that are completely contradicted by the scientific facts always bugs me.

Oh and Liam Neeson is exactly averagely Irish looking, when hes not wearing makeup in a film. Pale skin, blue eyes, light brown hair: http://www.moviepilot.de/files/images/04...Neeson.jpg

Pretty much the only Irish people with dark skin are those with recent immigration in their family tree, or those who own fake tan bottles. Unfortunately for the ladies of Ireland

[onetouch]

I have to echo the original poster. That video perfectly encapsulates the typical Irish woman.

Another point worth mentioning is the abysmal personal hygiene of Irish women. It's a well worn running joke at this stage; The legendary "smelly Irish pussy".

I dated a Polish girl for 6 years whose friend is a Beautician. No joke she quit doing Brazilian waxes as she felt sick going near Irish women's pussies. When she told me this I quipped; "You think it's bad for you waxing them; Irish men are expected to lick them out"

I've been reading these forums alot lately and the overall consensus here seems to be that Western women in general suck, and I'd totally agree, but mainly women from the US, UK, Australia, Canada or New Zealand have been mentioned, with very little said about Irish women.

I've travelled quite abit and I've been to all of the counties mentioned above, but I have to admit, as an Irish man currently living back in Ireland, I think that the women here are probably the worst of the lot. Okay they might have a slight novelty factor to foreign guys because of their accent or the colour of their hair (although redheads aren't as common here as you might think) but after that they have very little redeeming qualities, only bad attitudes and ridiculously high standards. Basically the vast majority of Irish women are 5's who think that they are 7's and are constantly seeking male 8's.

The other factor to take into consideration is that Irish guys are seriously upping their game. We've always made up for our apparent weak game with our cheeky/friendly demeanour and much revered accent but now you've got lots of guys getting absolutely ripped in the gym and spending serious amounts of cash on clothes/overall appearance and lifestyle. In short, there is some serious competition out there between Irish guys and Irish women in comparison are well below international standards, but somehow can still pretty much hook up with whoever they want to, which is massively boosting their already falsely inflated ego's and is giving average guys nothing but scraps to feed off.

The worst part is that Irish women can openly criticize Irish guys and nobody bats an eyelid, but if you even mention the words "Irish women" & "ugly" in the same sentence you'll have all variety of feminists, or even worse, white knights, chomping at the bit to try and shoot your argument down and put you back in your apparent place. It's totally ridiculous.

To me this video pretty much sums up the plight of Irish men. It was filmed for an Irish TV show at the European Football Championships in Poland back in 2012 and depicts mostly average looking Polish chicks tell the obviously Irish man hating female presenter how great Irish guys are, while she takes typical sly digs at us ever chance that she gets. The video ends with her interviewing some Irish "women" who are only too happy to put Irish guys down even though they are only 2's at best.......and that's probably insulting 2's.

Irish girls are better than UK girls though. I travelled around Ireland a lot a few months ago and noticed that 18-22 year olds in student cities (Galway, Cork and part of Dublin) were the most attractive. I met/spoke to hundreds on my trip. I noticed that nearly every girl has a boyfriend but is open to 'shifting'. The beauty does fade very fast post graduation from college. I think this is down to the almost extreme drinking culture (10 day trip I was in a packed nightclub every single night). Obviously the long term effects of alcohol will deteriorate levels of beauty.

That said I did find them to be more carry than their UK counterpart. For some reason the girls loved my British accent. Dublin was a hit and miss, unless you go to Coppers everywhere else is very seasonal. Cork seemed to have the highest quality. Several blonds ran passed me at Cork train station saying "hi" and disappearing into the train station. I was shifting this 18 yo girl, real petite brunette, in the Savoy nightclub before her friend (male) grabbed my shoulder and said "she has a bf". She ended up going all anti slut and walking away from me. I later that night discovered that my hotel did not take kindly to additional guests. A real disappointment there.

In Galway I was drinking with about 7 army dudes. They kept taking the piss out of the sheer contrast of my style to theres. (Blazer w/ pocket square vs t shirts) they were quick to call me a faggot because of it. Anyway this cute 18 yo brunette walks passed and asks me whether I had seen her friend. Never met her or her friend before in my life so I sit her down on the empty seat, kino escalate and build sexual tension and shift her within 3 minutes. Her friend comes and drags her away and the army dudes look at me gobsmacked and asked me how exactly I did that... They mentioned that Irish guys are too passive/lazy/scared to actually talk to the girls but noticed a trend where more guys were becoming forward and that those guys were literally raking up all of the girls. I tell them what I did and leave and meet the girl again. I am shifting her again and he friend starts taking photos... Biggest problem I have with Irish girls is the obsession of taking selfies. They actually have rooms in nightclubs specifically for the purpose of taking selfies.

I'm not trying to paint a picture of all Irish girls having a slutty nature. I did meet one waiting for a bus who genuinely seemed like a decent human being. Held eye contact well, was generally interesting to talk to and seemed to have her shit together. Just the one though lol.

I would recommend Ireland to any English speaking person (from the UK) who has never travelled alone before to go there. It helps tremendously that the language barrier is only drawn down to an accent barrier. Providing your hotel is okay with you bringing extra guests being direct and discreet will work wonders. I'm not really a fan of fucking being bins/in parks or on benches.

Worst girls I spoke to were in fact American. One being a blond stuck up Philadelphian & the other being a jew looking girl who "only fuck black guys".

My taxi driver from Dublin airport to the first hotel summed up Irish girls up perfectly in one sentence. "they are sexy until they get married, then they pile on the pounds".

As for overweight obnoxious feminists types they were on my avoid list. I was only looking out for girls I found physically attractive. They were the ones I chose to talk to. Except some rude as hell retarded bitch who kept talking to me while I was having lunch in Limerick.

As I was mainly looking for 17-22 year olds and mostly went to bars/nightclubs most girls were thin enough for my standards. I did make a redhead 18 yo's cheeks go red by telling her she was the 8th best looking girl I saw that day in trinity college. She was probably by far the best looking redhead I had seen in Ireland. I didn't see many that registered as being attractive to be honest with you.

Dude, Irish women go weak at the knees for English men -esp those with posh accents; aka they search for "James Bond". I'm not complaining though; American girls (and a lot of UK ones too) go weak for mine so it's all good. Tongue workout of the legendary "Smelly Irish Pussy" is all yours mate.

If ever there was a video which illustrated the stark reality of what Irish men have to put with it’s this one.

We have an obnoxious, snarky, mean-spirited Irish woman (Jennifer Maguire) interview a procession of friendly, sweet, pleasant, feminine hot Polish women. She berates the Poles for speaking of Irish men positively, riling them with choice cuts like “are you drunk?", “you don’t get out much, do you?”..amongst other pathetic put-downs like how Irish men drink too much (yeah the reason why Irish men often drink too much is because we have to put up with you and your ilk, sweetheart.)

Never mind how slagging off Irish men is seen as a bit of a laugh and no big deal (imagine if a male reporter was to do the opposite, you can bet your right arm he’d be labelled a misogynist creep within pissing time.)

Now, you would expect the Irish women who give us Irish men such a hard time to be such paragons of beauty and virtue themselves? Not at all. The entitled ditchpigs and troglodytes bemoaning the “lack of talent” at the end unfortunately are fairly representative of what passes for Irish womanhood today.

So if thinking of hitting Ireland do so for the Guinness, the rich culture and history.

Not the weather or the women, which are both as appalling as each other.

The place makes Toronto seem like the Philippines.

Oh, and Jennifer Maguire. WYB?

Jennifer Maguire is above average as Irish girls go but she's no stunner.
I reckon she deliberately picked some potato shaped Irish lassies to show how much better looking she is, but with the Poles, she could not find any that were worse looking than herself, so she had to grin and bear it!
To be fair though, those were particularly awful representations of Irish women, the average Irish bird is probably two points better than those wretched specimens.
Maguire's attitude in the clip is a little bit put on for the cameras, while she is sarcastic generally, she's not as caustic as that normaly.
I know the co-presenter of that show and he tells me she's 'sound', so I'll have to take his word for it!
However the attitude she shows in this clip is, as davyjose says, not unlike the entitled bitchiness you get from some (mostly urban) Irish girls on a night out.
Any urban Irish women who's 6 or over almost definitely has some kind of princess complex , just because she is a bit hotter than the average Irish woman.
Less so, with the country girls though, to be fair to them.

The problem is there are genuinely no 9's in Ireland. I have never seen a woman who is ethnically Irish who is 9/10, not on the street, not on TV, not in music, not in film. For whatever weird reason it doesn't apply to the Irish men, there are plenty of Hollywood leading men who are Irish, I mean a disproportionately huge amount. Same goes for TV and music (well at least the pop stuff like hozier and the script) the Irish men will succeed in the UK and sometimes even in the US, while the women will remain local because they can't compete outside of their bubble.

This isn't unique to Ireland though.

It's already a given that the anglosphere has better looking men than women. I don't think there's even been a real concise explanation for why that is. Aside from cultural and social issues (like slothy female behavior and chugging fast food) genetics probably does play a big factor though.

Anglo stunners just aren't that common to begin with in any of the anglo descent majority countries.

The irony is that anglo women are pedestalized big time.

I seen a thing on Polish TV a few weeks ago saying that Irish men were ranked as the ugliest in the world.

Some good insights on this thread. I agree with Irish guys upping their game, I call this the Conor McGregor Effect. We also have guys coming back from working overseas for a few years with money saved up and who have shaken off their awkwardness just by living in more socially-savvy cultures.

Good point concerning Northern Ireland specifically. There's a lot of cross pollination within the islands and NI seems to encapsulate uber Englishness, Irishness, Scottishness in the one small area.

Liam Neeson is the alpha father-in-law from hell!

Irishmen more than most should travel before their domestics SMV is set in stone in their minds.

There isn't just one Irish accent. There are a bunch of regions and even within Dublin different accents depending on north/south of the Liffey.

From what I recall, the snobby/posh accent in Ireland is very south Dublin, sometimes referred to as "D4" after the Dublin4 post code (an expensive area). It's quite watered down and "Atlantic" sounding, almost a hybrid between English/Irish/American. Very pleasant to American ears.

I don't know about the dynamic being that way. I think it is more to do with Irish being more "exotic" than English. English girls are used to English accents. I'm sure if they broke down the English accents they'd find the cockney east end Jason Statham accent to be more alpha than say the Somerset farmer. Southern accents tend to be deeper than Northern accents. I've never considered the Alpha-Beta dynamic to be relevant with accents of the British isles. I would've assumed England to be de facto alpha due to them conquering the others. Foreigners may not be able to tell the difference but we have some god awful accents. West country & Brummy to name just two awful ones.

ROI accents in general were much easier on the ears compares with NI. I met this girl on holiday to Turkey when I was 17 from Count Down. It took about 5 attempts to understand every single word she said. I could hear similarities to Liverpool/Scouse accent in parts of Dublin. Then cork accent was quite high pitched & squeaky. I thought it was quite effeminate. I don't really recall stab city or Galway accents though. I was in stab city during rag week so people were from everywhere and same with Galway really.

Someone from Cork or Kerry doesn't sound remotely like someone from the Northside of Dublin, and then you have the Southside of Dublin which sounds English/American as has been said..

Annie Mac (the UK Radio 1 DJ), who's from Dundrum on the Southside of Dublin is a good example..

Compare her to Conor McGregor who's from a working class area of the same city..(technically he's a Southsider also but he's typical of how Northsiders speak)

To be fair outside of the UK and Ireland people can hardly tell the difference in regional accent variations. Even in Scotland and England I've had girls been unable to tell the difference between Northern Ireland and ROI accents unbelievably.
