Ten things I dislike about Irish men - cheap mammy's boys with no style

I dont know what this girl is talking about. My husband is a Welsh/ Kiwi and he is like this. Now my father a wonderful Irishman and his 5 brothers all were mammy boys but all there own men. All could cook and all knew how to treat there woman. I think you were just running into the wrong men. Also just want to add All these things you just said are also said about Italian boys and Greek boys. Maybe it is today mommas and the way these over grown boys are just not many of them being raised with dads in the house. SO let me just say STAY AWAY FROM NEW ZEALAND MEN THERE THE WORST.. I love my Irish boys and my IRISH American boys..

I am Mariam used every single spell worker on the internet, spent untold amounts of money and discovered they are all fakes...i was the fool though; doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. In the end, I decided that I wanted a tarot reading to know what my future held for me; I contacted a woman who lives locally to me and she told me about a man named (Priests Abija); he does not advertise on the internet, has another job for income, has no set prices, makes no false promises and refuses to help anyone that cannot be helped and even helps for free sometimes, he will give you proof before taking money. He is a wonderful man and he was the only person who actually gave me real results. I really hope he doesn't mind me advertising his contact on the internet but I'm sure any help/ extra work will benefit him.contact him here as 447053820826 or spirituallighthealing101@live.com He travel sometimes.i cant give out his number cos he told me he don’t want to be disturbed by many people across the world..he said his email is okay and he’ will replied to any emails asap,love marriage,finance, job promotion ,lottery Voodoo,poker voodoo,golf Voodoo,Law & Court case Spells,money voodoo,weigh loss voodoo,any sicknesses voodoo,Trouble in marriage,HIV AIDS,it's all he does Hope this helps everyone that is in a desperate situation as I once was; I know how it feels to hold onto something and never have a chance to move on because of the false promises and then to feel trapped in wanting something more.

I just think that because you couldn't find a guy that was attracted to you, doesn't mean that you can push those feelings onto every Irish guy. And you know what? Maybe it was you. Maybe the way you act pushed them away. Like you said, if it wasn't meant to be, then it wasn't meant to be. P.S. Just letting you know that the picture is of a Swedish guy... His name is Felix Kjellberg. He is on YouTube and goes by the name PewDiePie.

The most female criticism of Irish men I have ever heard of in America was from Irish Born women, and it got 10 times worse with Irish Born Wives, they broadcast their criticism of their husband publically. In Ireland the Irish Lawmakers had to write the Toughest Slander / Liable laws in the world, to try and control the Malicious Gossip of Irish Women.

here you!im from ireland and you know nothing about irish people and boys so before you post crap like this up maybe think.......if you know about ALL the boys here then you must have tried them all you stupid idiot

Sounds like someone has rather over-indulged herself in the 'Quiet Man' and the rest... (Red hair...running wild...Ick..) Don't know where she was looking for romance, but trashY people exist everywhere. Aim a little higher!

As I started reading this list I was leaning heavily toward "typical delusional". As I gave it the most of 3 minutes to look over I arrived at "Silly Cow". That really seems to sum it up. I am male, clean, I can cook in severaal different styles and walk the roads of Co. Clare (a happy man). Her list of "delighters" would be the furthest thing from my mind, as would "herself".

I completely disagree. I’m an American -I’ve been living in London for the last 4 months and I have to say I’ve been disappointed with the social/dating/pub culture here. I love the people, but the opportunities to meet men have been difficult as I’ve found British men are more timid (generalizing experience here). I went to Dublin for 4 days and had the absolute best time of my life since moving from the US. The people are amazing, the men were polite and exceptionally well dressed, and above all they were fun and carefree. I left craving more of Ireland. The men we met were not cheap in the slightest- they paid for our drinks even after our refusal, and were complete gentleman. And you know where they learned that respect for women? Their mothers! I don’t know which Disney movie you watched, but maybe the problem isn’t Irish men- maybe it’s you. Continue to bring a check list with you to every date and the guy will be gone before you get to the end of it. Try to loosen up and stop looking for this fictional character you’ve created. The best thing about Irish men is their humor…you could use some.

This is very true from my experience of Irish fellas. I am Irish myself and all my ex bf's were like this. I dont think they are all like that. I think lads from the country and lads from the city are a bit different from each other. The mammys boys that cannot cook are more like the country lads. The city guys are more independent and dress better in my opinion. As for the drinking, thats a big problem with a lot of Irish. Too many guys cannot go home without being drunk!!

"If you ask a lady on a date, you shouldn’t expect her to foot the bill, or even half of the bill." .... That is incredibly sexist and old-fashioned, and it encourages a stereotype of women as some kind of trophy object, rather than a peer to be respected and treated equally. Disappointing.

She's actually right. Truth is, all the good Irish men are married early and stay married for this very reason. Any Irish man who isn't married by 22 won't be married till well after 40 because he's a complete irresponsible mama's boy and a drunk tosser. I was in the republic for 5 years and because the actual ratio of responsible Irish men to tossers is about 1 in 2, that one is happily married to a moderately good looking woman. Meanwhile those of us dating in our 30s are left scraping dregs and trying to change men who can't be changed. This is why I'm thankful I'm moving back home where the ratio of decent men to jerks is about 5 to 1. I married my Irish lesson and discovered bankruptcy and alcoholism that I never grew up with, along with being targeted for US income and US marriage visa. Never again. Ever.

Seems somebody had a bad experience with a few Irish boys but it's not fair to paint us all with the same brush. I'm not cheap, I dress well for my job, I cook breakfast, dinner and supper every night of the week and while it's true that I can handle my own in a bar room, I'm friendly while drinking unless you offend me but besides that, I have no problem communicating. Maybe the Irish men you are attracting aren't the type you want because I sure as hell know we all aren't the way you portray us.

First of all, my appologies to the men reading this. Not all men are bad apples, as not all women are either. I'm just pointing out some things from experience. I have known people all my life from different countries. People from all walks of life have body odor, even after showering everyday, dress well or poorly, are mamma's boys or daddy's little girls, drink a little or a lot,swear a little or a lot. expect either sex to foot the bill or half it,cheat,lie,respect or disrepect the other person. It happens everywhere. I have to say though, that none of the irish men in my life are any of the things that you, Colleen have described. I will say to you Guin, who says men from France and Italy are the best. I was engaged to a frenchman for two years and have known a few french and Italien men that I blindly considered friends before I finally woke up. The ones I have known are arrogent beyond measure, considering themselves to be far superior than women. They didn't ask, they "told" you and expected you to comply. I'm not the only one who has experienced this with them.So you like these kinds of men do you Guin? You like being told what to do? To be made to feel like crap no matter how good a person you are? You two ladies need to do a serious re-evaluation.

Funny....sending it to my sons.

@Towngate If she wants a soft effeminate sexually repressed wimp with no concept of dental hygiene then yes she should most definitely have taken the 62 mile trip across the Irish sea to Britain, that said however, the aforementioned wimp is a member of the parasitical race her Irish ancestors kicked out of her country.
