I totally agree with Colleen. I am not Irish, and contrary to what the Irish think, do not want to, but I'm married to an Irish man and living in Ireland, and my God they are the worse men in Europe. Yes, they are mammy's boy, they drink too much, they are the cheapest guys who cannot treat women properly. Have no sense of style and stink even when they have showers (which is not often). Cannot cook and complain when you give them something different because they only like to eat s***. They are very bad at communicating (even my GP mentioned it, which must mean Irish women think that too). This is a site for Americans claiming to be Irish, and the Irish also boast about all this good looking Irish Americans, but come on, they are nice looking because they have a race mixture. I live in a small village, full of inbreeds and they are not good looking at all!!! They are the real Irish. Sorry, piss of with my very Irish husband who comply with all the nasty points mentioned. Maybe I should have gone for a French... THE IRISH SUCK

established1976: Not enough to take a shower. You need to wash out your mouth with bleach, if you're the typical F-word fanatic the lady columnist found so prevalent in Ireland. There's even lots of them on this web site.

What a terrible article.
I'll make a deal with you Coleen. You stop confusing Irish men with what you've seen on Darby McGill And The Little People or Brad Pitts woeful portrayal of an Irish man and I won't assume all American women are like the ones in Sex And The City. Apart from you of course, because you seem to be exactly like them.
As your list of 'Irish rogues' includes Mark Wahlberg and George Clooney and because you said "it's America" I'd say your interpretation of the word 'Irish' is fairly loose and that you're talking about Irish Americans.
By the way; I have a shower (sometimes two) every day, I don't drink alcohol and I have absolutely no interest in sport of any kind. I can make up my own mind about what I want to wear rather than spending good money on rubbish like GQ.

Coleen, did you ever stop to think maybe just maybe, Irish men dont find you in the least bit attractive? You may think youre this irish American girl but to Irish people, you are just a yank. Theres nothing special about you. If they were interested believe you me, theyd have made the effort and youd have known about it!

I am neither American or Irish, but I have to say this is just ridiculous. I mean come on, seriously? Your going to judge EVERY Irish male, over the very few Irish men you've met? Now, I have never dated an Irishman, but from what I have seen and heard, they are just like every other man in the world.
Sure, men don't exactly have the best fashion sense, or can cook the best meals in the world, but who the hell cares?
If your going to label people, might as well label the whole male species. Thats' all I'm saying.
I have met some very fine Irish people in my life, and they all seem great to me. But that's just my opinion, obviously not yours.
My point is,...don't be bitter about Irish people, just because you've met some wrong ones. That's just wrong. And that behavior is going to make you rule out a potentially amazing Irishman, that could enter your life.
..Or should I say, could've?

Re: number 4, usually mammy can't cook either! This (other than the George Foreman grill), was what mammy convinced him was haute cuisine.

Gotta' agree a little with the writer, BUT ... what did you expect? Irish women are amoung the strongest, wittiest and bravest on the planet. That's good and I, for one, really like it. But the downside is that strong, powerful women tend to raise wimpy men. Hey, I didn't invent the rule, hon' ... just calling them as I see it.
If you want a stinging bee, hon', you've got to be a flower. No, I didn't think you wanted to hear that ...

wow. Redhead children..good luck on that 'generalisation' because I dont know that many irish gingers... As for the comments on hygene and lack of dress sense, I dont know what kind of irish men you met, but any fella I ever dated knew how to shower and dress. This 'Irish' central is becoming a site for yanks to knock the irish for ten. Why dont ye just call it 'Irish Americans who like to debase Real Irish people central'. Would work out more in your favour I think!
