Irish girls

Hi, I’m an Irish girl living in Boston. I was born in Ireland and lived there until I moved here in January this year. The Boston Irish are nothing like the Irish back home. Some (all I’ve met so far) seem to associate being able to drink and fight with their Irish heritage. They don’t care about anything else to do with the country. I wouldn’t go near them at all. I haven’t really met any Irish girls over here, but in general while you might consider Boston an Irish city because of the large percentage of Irish Americans living in it, it is in fact nothing like Ireland. the cultural differences still amaze me on an almost daily basis.
Irish girls are like girls anywhere, we have our good and bad points. Girls from bigger cities like Dublin are like you city girls from anywhere. The only thing that distinguishes us from other girls is our wit and charm

Irish girls are irishistible, and the music sounds great

I guess I looked up this sight because the Irish culture is popular now. Also it was the movies and sories that made Ireland romantic to us Americans. I remember back in 1976 when I was standing up for justice against something at work just like I did at college I said to my older sister that I always make hell on earth for myself because of the trouble I cause standing up for crap. and I don’t know why I do it and she said, ” What is the matter with you?” don’t you know who you are? I said, what do you mean by that? and she said, your Irish and that is the way you are. We’ll that was the first time I ever thought of myself as Irish. Ten years later I was listening to late night public radio and listened to the thistle and Shamrock show and heard Irish music for the first time and decided that that was the only music that I truly loved and then became addicted to it. I have been a musician all my life and found myself learning to do Irish music. I raised my son telling him of his ancestry and as a result He has studied for a History major in Irish studies with a masters degree. My ancestry or family back ground is a mixture of German and Irish all the way back to the 1600′s America. I have suffered divorce and heart break. So like so many men who has suffered the result of Feminist Communist Liberalism around the world is looking for an old fashion woman with old timely European values and somewhere in this world that can respect and love men like they did grandpa. It is a world wide problem and reading over this sight just disgusted me more to realize that it is a world wide problem and all women are the same? Come on Irish girl! please tell me I am wrong or I”ll go back to singing Cowboy music. Sincerely Steven

Woah…you people are out of control…As a Canadian with Irish parents, I have visited Ireland (mainly Dublin) several times. In fact, I lived there for six months when I was twenty years old and had a wonderful time. I lived with my Gran in Upper Rathmines and met Irish women all day, every day. My preference for women has always been dark-skinned. I grew up in a multicultural area and West Indian, Asian and East Indian women have always been my first choice. (No one in Canada thinks I’m Irish as I have dark, curly hair and I’m as swarthy as an Arab). Once I got over thinking of Irish girls as my sisters or cousins, I really began to like them.

Aggressive/assertive, friendly, charming, outspoken and abrupt are some of the ways I would describe them. I’m still not very attractive to them s_ _ ually as they resemble members of my family but they have great personalities and live in a culture where women really run the show. They have great confidence and most of the patriarchal societies of the world don’t have women like Ireland’s. In fact, I dare you to find me a country where women are free to do as they like and speak as freely as they do in Ireland.

As far as being corrupted by American/continental European values…I’m not sure but twenty years ago, Irish girls looked pure, clean and fresh. “Ivory Girls” as we say in North America. Now, many of them have big guts and wear loads of makeup (improperly applied I might add) and look as trashy as English girls.

Do I still love and respect Irish women? Of course, I wouldn’t want to see them any other way…but are they the answer to some poor American guy’s anti-feminist dream? Sadly, probably not.

Hello all,

This has been a very interesting and insightful read! I’m an Irish girl and I have been living in London for Uni for the past three years, and the cultural difference is grand! Even though it’s only over the water, the stories I tell my friends back home about the things the girls get up to in London leaves them in shock! But sure that’s the way they want to live their lives that’s fine! And I have to say they are not very judging of my Irish girl ways. By that I mean my family values and my desire to meet a good husband and be a great mother. Because I want those things does not mean I am a strong independent women, I have my own career here but I know what is important and what I want out of live. I don’t know about Irish American girls, but American accents are just amazing! I would love to meet an nice American man for a great relationship. Just don’t find many in London must relocate to Boston ! lol

Sad but true.. I have a friend in Ireland who tells me the same. I think all women from the UK are wild and have lost their culture. However, I was told the women in the Scottish highlands still adhere to their traditions, although not as much in the past.

Not sure about Canada, but I would think many of them would be like American women. Maybe small town Canadian women are bit like small town Midwest women. Some are a bit of the down home types, although many today are turning into selfish, arrogant and unloving like the rest of the women in the USA. Southern USA women who were once known for their charm and hospitality, now are very dominating, hot-tempered, belligerent, drug-addicted and overweight. They say the rate of meth use in the southern USA exceeds that of anywhere else in the USA. It is sad, because America’s “Southern Belles” where at one time considered the ideal of traditional women.

Okay, you know what guys? I’ve pretty much read every single post on this page and I’m well aware that what I’m about to write is going to end up at the bottom of it all. I don’t care. I read this out of interest, as it was sent to me via a link through an e-Mail from a friend who found it last week.

As a rule, when I’m out socialising with friends, I stick to conversation with the people I’m with.

Is it ok now for the occasional complete stranger to approach someone they don’t know and start a torrid of offensive and absolutely shocking abuse two minutes into a conversation? Especially when the party it’s subjected to hasn’t said anything or carried through any actions what so ever to deserve it? A lot of said strangers are female and of Irish origin. This has happened to me a few times in the last year, especially in places where you wouldn’t normally expect it to occur.

I’m told that drink has something to do with it. There are also, I suspect, other elements there, which can’t be so easily accommodated (or tolerated) – like substance abuse for instance, or a distinct inability to leave their problems at home.

Ladies, if you are seen to act like this, expect to see entries like this on websites like this. OK?

In contrast, exists a lot of offensive behaviour from men, which has similar characteristics.

It doesn’t make me ashamed to be a man because I don’t defend it in any way. However this comes about, the best way to deal with people like this, I find, is to give such entities a wide birth; politely smile at them and thank them for their views.

Just think how great and ideal their lives must be, if their only outlet for frustrations and personal life misgivings is to issue undeserved abuse to someone they don’t even know. Nevertheless, this seems to be gauged as acceptable behaviour.

It must be great to let the hair down once in a while and stop acting like a human being, and act like a complete, scat-ingesting cockroach.

Would I like to meet an Irish girl and settle down? Of course I would. I’m not perfect by any means and I hope one day it happens.

Is education important? Not really, so long as intelligence and common sense are there I could get along fine on some level with such a woman.

Are honesty and integrity important? Most of the time, yes, but nobody’s perfect and you have to be able to accept some indiscretions along the way.

I have met Irish American women before and they are different to native Irish women. I respect those differences and understand that the cultures, whilst similar in some aspects, will be very different in others. You can’t expect to meet many worthwhile people whilst out on a night’s drinking (no matter what the gender). It’s simply not a fare expectation on you or the persons being considered, as the window of opportunity to get to know a person properly just isn’t there.

With regard to women from other countries like Poland, their country has had a legacy, which is far removed from our own and so I don’t think that any solid conclusion can be drawn when comparing women from that country to those in our own. Poland has a very progressive population and is going to bring forth a lot of promise in the near future; city living results in city ways and city attitudes, I’m not an authority in either case but it’s not hard to imagine that materialistic attitudes like those already referred to exist on a wider scale than we give them credit for across other countries

English women have some different qualities compared to Irish women this is for certain a fact. I’ve dated some very nice English ladies. I’m sure there are what I would see as bad ones out there; morality exists on another level with English women, I find, because in order to experience the level of morality which one may have been accustomed to here in Ireland, you need to interact with in a way which they find understandable. Surely, to simply expect something without explanation cannot be the way forward.

Looking for the objective realism of your inner desires, if you’re a man, needs to be an itterrative process of re-evaluating yourself and thinking long and hard before placing judgement. Is it fare to expect qualities in a life partner who has never had the need to display them in the first place? Is it reasonable to expect a woman to be loyal at ALL times, to be religious at ALL times, or even to have patriarchal values? Are the men who are yearning these attributes in women, even in the same set of expectations themselves?

Personally, I have heard horror stories of abusive and controlling long-term boyfriends and husbands. This makes me wonder why anybody would want to be in a such relationship at all, much less one that even mildly resembled it. I’ve been in relationships similar to this and I made sure they didn’t last very long.

In principle, categorising women as being nothing more than potential wives or girlfriends simply can’t work. The attitude needs to change. It’s easy to see the effect that commerce has had on the before widened gap of perception between the sexes over the last twenty years here in Ireland. In order to be a good woman, does this mean you need to attend church every Sunday? Plainly speaking, I avoid church because it’s full of the sort of people I just don’t want to be around because I don’t subscribe to a belief system that is too intertwined with politics. If anyone is offended by that comment, then please don’t be, it’s just my attitude. It really is time to start thinking in a forward manner and get our heads out of the middle of the last century. I offer my apologies for digressing there.

How many men out there possess family values and other such moralistic ideals? Did the days of no divorce and staying in love really ever exist, or have some of us just been watching too many soppy movies or reading too many romantic novels. Life is great, to exist as a human is a privilege and nobody said it was ever going to be easy. Every relationship has ups and downs and it requires a lot of effort to make a good one work. Arguments will happen, parties in the relationship will not always get their own way and at other times a break down in communication occurs; misunderstandings which result in something as simple as a slight bit of direction, being perceived as the wife being in the husbands face 24 hours a day.

Attitudes men have of women in this country seem to be very uneven, however. Basing everything on how a person looks rather than what they are. can be perceived as a very shallow. Surely beauty is skin deep, right? I mean, isn’t that what we’re always told? Isn’t that what a lot of people believe? Or am I the only one that takes that one seriously? If so, then I don’t care. Having the wrong or in-compatible attitude towards a woman will lead to unkind actions on her part, be they physical or behavioural. I wouldn’t be very nice to a woman who treated me like a piece of meat. Would you?

The media has a good amount to do with men’s attitudes toward women also, in some cases using it’s own devices to make what can seem to be a personal point about the way men behave, seem almost attacking in nature. If this is going to be heeded with any element of serious consideration then surely this is a counteractive move. No?

Drawing to end on this as I know it’s very long and if you’ve read it then my thanks go out to you, it is my view that as men, we all need to re-evaluate our own qualities, whatever they may be, before speculating the existence of what we require in women on a global scale. Are we entirely sure that our opinions are fare? I’m certain mine are!! I nearly challenge you to question their integrity.

Irish Girls have beauty and values from the old world

I am an Irish woman and I am what is called the “fair” Irish – pale skin, blue eyes and blonde hair. I have morals and principles as I was raised that way and I make no apologies for that. I studied at Trinity College Dublin and at UCD but I’m not big-headed about it. I did it because I wanted to ensure I could make a good living. And my friends, family and colleagues all describe me as down-to-earth and friendly.

Open minded Irish girl from Ireland

I’m a young Irish girl,some of these comments make me laugh because some of you have never actually been to Ireland, yes Irish women have changed for the better we still have morals and values we still respect our elders and are very much into family life. We are stronger now and just because we don’t stand for people talking rudely to us means we don’t respect people, the only reason some Irish men have to go and find women over sea is because we can’t stand men who drink all their money and talk down to us. However when we do have someone we are very loyal and stand by them at all times until we wake up and smell the roses. I have travelled and one thing i have to say is that I have never judged a book by its cover most irish women don’t we love to make new friends and have the craic and are always willing to help. when I was in America, they come running as soon as they hear an accent which is lovely I have met some lovely people there and other places but you met the good and bad everywhere it doesn’t matter were a person comes from or what colour their hair or skin is, it’s about getting to know that person for who they are and having mutual respect for them and loving them for who they are. So maybe you have met an Irish girl and thought oh no she I would defer not for me, it’s not because she’s irish. it’s the girl and maybe your just going for the wrong type of girl, because I would not judge a guy on were he comes from it’s all about how well we get on and if we can hold a conversation and if we have some of the same views on life the maybe it could be something, but it doesn’t work out I’m not going to blame it on him being Irish, English , American or Spanish, we just weren’t ment to be. And on an other note just because you have a view on how some one should behave because their “Irish” (they should be a certain way) is silly because everyone is different and that’s what makes us all unique. The only way your going to find someone is to put your self out there and get to know some one for who they truly are and come on people be a little more opened minded.

American in East Europe view on family life

Keep up the great work admin. You comments are honest, highly intelligent, and original. Your generalizations about each culture are statistically accurate. You tell it like it is. I too an American, and live in Easter Europe (Czech Republic). The Czech Women are perhaps the most Westernized of Polish and Slovak and the more Westernized they get, the less attractive they are. Czech family life is almost non-existent and the life here is empty. Yes, feminism is a scourge that will bury itself through the demographics of low birth rates. Why? Because metaphorically speaking: how many bees want to pollinate a sour flower? I would warn all you young guys out there, don’t have anything to do with a woman from a high divorce rate country or a country where the divorce rate is moving higher and Don’t bring a good woman from a low divorce rate country to a high divorce rate country or a country where the divorce rate is moving higher. I am going to tell all my single male friends about this great website and admin.
