The pro and cons of marrying an Irishman

And where are all these marriageable Irishmen? My Irish father always said that I should.. Those emigrating to the US would do better to move to Florida; the weather is better and the cost of living much more affordable than Boston or NY.

excellent.

My wife can vouch for the above, Paddy73 you must be from the saxon side of ireland - they are better dancers! Finnmaccool; you should try it, farting puts a new ddimension on a relationship...if she is ok with you farting she can handle anything. Irishproud; they do, but blame the dog! and you accept it! Men Fart, and so do women! women are just better at blaming the dog!

a lot of irish men love to dance, love music and are great dasncers so u cant lump us into one big kettle of mulligan stew. we are individuals thru and thru.

im guaranteed irish and most of this is true, except the gas thing, i dont spend my day farting in front of my girlfriend but when i do i dont have a problem claiming responsibility! my future wife is swedish and she can make mountains out of molehills whereas i can simply laugh at the same situation, we balance each other perfectly, and she doesn't mind about having a few kids even though the average child per family(swedish not immigrant) here is only 1.5!

Antoinette, Ridiculous! You make Irish men sound like pigs. No Irish man would ever pass gas in front of me. If men do this in front of you,they have no respect for you. If you allow this, you either have no self respect or you must be doing this,too. That's just weird.

So true, especially the one about "loving Mama first"

Oh My God! This is so true. But I still would not have traded all these years for anyone else.

I'm 100% Irish and although some of it is true, certainly not all of it is true for me. This is a generalization that may be true for some but as with any stereotype, it will not fit everyone.

If Irish men can't dance where did RiverDance come from?

You have my husband pegged to a tee. It is amazing. He is an Irish-American but still is like the man in the article.

I loved it. Too bad I wasn't smart enough to understand all this as a young lass when as sweet young lad fell in love with me. I thought he was "too nice" and I sent him away. I married an Italian man instead and lived to regret it. But, my Irishman is back in my life now and we are very happy. I have sent this on to my daughter in the hope that she will learn what she needs to make her happy.

banal

I am here Jeanne1953. But you have to catch this Dubliner first. And at 81 I can still outrun most females.

Hey sounds good to me, where do I get one........
