The pro and cons of marrying an Irishman

sharon550 (March 14): All of my first cousins (children of Irish immigrants) would totally disagree with you, especially the one who seems to think that she is as different from me as Eskimos are different from Arabs.

Irishproud. Time you and him indoors got a dog. Can`t be very comfortable with whatever both of you have squeezed up , you know where.

I suppose I could agree with most of this article.The fact that any person holds his/her Mammy/Daddy in high regard is about the best indication how they will treat their wife/husband.I wouldn't knock that one.As I often say to my teenage daughters.Choose wisely.A guy who disrespects his mother means you could be next in line sooner or later.

I hate lame catch-all articles like this. How long, Oh Lord, how long?

The comment about not shopping is true, I just hate it.

Um, is this meant as even a semi-serious piece? You patently haven't met any Irish people born after about 1800AD. When you do, please write an article about people who are currently alive. If you're basing this on actual Irish men that you've met, you've been meeting the really crappy ones. I can only suggest that you find better friends.

My dear brother Larry fits all the criteria, esp. farting! Think some of the con traits of Irishmen skipped a generation from he and grandpa... If the shoe fits. No phoneys here.

OMG! I've been looking in all the wrong places. I married a German jerk and apparently zigg'd instead of zagg'd! I want one! ;p

ummm...maybe I should have married by own kind?? But there are similarities in all men, good & bad. Never going to find a perfect man. However, I would say think twice before marrying anyone significantly older and someone who is not of your nationality...makes it that much harder.

I can agree but also respect it.

My wife might agree with a few of these!

i would have too say that my husband is a true Iirishman.because that is so him.

i have to say only 2 of the 6 things are correct -- mommy will come first and irishman can't dance. my husband does all cleaning and loves to shop! he does show some emotion and he doesn't pass gas in front of me at all
