Bossy

After dating an Irish women for a while you’ll suddenly notice that please and thank yous go out the window. Even the most pleasant things like organizing a barbecue for friends begins to feel like a military operation as orders are barked at you and you are expected to obey.

Too feisty

I think I have only ever been slapped by two women in my life, one was my Irish mother and the other was my Irish ex-girlfriend.

Irish women are extremely feisty and while of course this can be endearing, when she starts screaming insults at a driver who just took her spot in  the car-park, all you can do is squirm and look away.

Talk too much

I’m not positive but I’m pretty sure that Irish women got more than their fair share of ‘the gift of the gab’. Irish women can literally ‘talk for Ireland’. It’s just as well someone invented Skype.

I women think nothing of an two-hour trans-Atlantic phone call but unfortunately it doesn’t end there. Irish women talk, and talk and talk unfortunately many of the women that I’ve met didn’t really have that much to say.

Not ladylike

What a turn off when the blue eyed, freckled Irish girl asks the barman for a big dirty pint when she looks like she walked off the set of “Sex and the City”. That little black dress and fake eyelashes should not be matched with a pint of beer.

If you choose to relocate to New York, at least try to feign sophistication.

Stuck up

Now this could just be me but over the last while I’ve noticed that when you’re talking to an Irish girl they immediately ask “What do you do?” It seems to me that Irish girls might put too much stock in the size of lads wallets rather than in their personalities (they will no doubt deny this emphatically).

A lot of Irish girls I have met seem to dream about moving to the U.S. and marrying a Wall Street banker.

Spend too much time shopping

On my life I’ve never met people more obsessed with shopping, store, bargains and labels than the Irish girls I’ve dated. They can waste entire weekends shopping and spend the rest of their week planning their next attack on the stores.

When they get off that plane they cannot seem to get to Macys or Jersey Gardens quick enough and the obsession doesn’t wane either. One girlfriend I had even got her mother to bring out clothes from a store in Ireland, as if there wasn’t a big enough choice here. Insanity.

It seems for Irish women, shopping is pastime.

So there you have it. Rest assured Irish women out there, that these are just my thoughts, although some of my buddies did agree with me on some of my opinions!

Oh and just one final pointer for the road, Irish women don’t take criticism very well and I imagine the response I will get to this article will prove my point!

Haha, That's Lovely. I Don't Wear Heals Yet I'm Prone To Drink More Than I Should, I Am Paranoid 90% Of The Time,I Do Not Tan Though... I'm About As White As It Gets. Tan Doesn't Look Good With Red Hair. Does It? No... I Don't Think So. Irish Boys Are Not Exactly The Easiest To Deal With... I Am Currently Dating A Scot. My Temper Seems To Clash With The Poor Fellow. An Irish &&' A Scot... My Mother Scolded Me; She Only Likes Irish Boys... Haha.
Ah, you're making it up.
There is an old sayying, "show me your company & I'll show you who you are" Sean, you deserve to be with these kind, it's like looking in the mirror.
Sean, I disagree! While you are referring to Irish girls from Ireland, I feel that Irish American girls don't display any of those negative traits more frequently than ladies of other ethnicities. The few I have met from Ireland seem very nice, as well. As an Irishman, you should go to Italy, as I (Italian American) should go to Ireland. Maybe we will then both meet the girls of our dreams!
Yup, Irish women's tastes are all in their mouths. Ugly dyed scarlett red hair, make-up put on with a plaster's trowel, over-priced, ugly "knacker" dresses which barely cover their cr***hes, 12-inch heel CMFM steletto shoes and perfume that could kill a gnat at 1,000 yards....definitely a weapon of mass destruction. AND, on top of that they drink and smoke like crazy and are ill-tempered 24/7. If you want a good woman look further afield..........Like another country.
I can agree with only two of these--bossy and talks to much. Once I started calling her Sarge, she backed off a little with the orders. And there are times when I put in ear plugs so I can watch the football game in peace. Otherwise, Irish women rock.
Sean, spot on! Especially on the fake tan and pints (although you forgot to mention the cankles). In my youth a woman wouldn't dare be seen drinking a pint. Always glasses and usually cider. Now they're skulling pints like a farmer on market day. I'm afraid after this article you'll have to move on to a different race of women.
Ack with the sole exception of the false tan I recognised meself in every point made ... and most of them I find quite ok I've to admit, maybe some strange way not to take criticism, just declare those facts to be my strong points? ;) And of course the "paranoia" seems to be a kind of projection, sure I ask men quite in the beginning what they're doing, but its not about them wallet, for me it's a quick check in which topics he might be interested.
GEEEZE, Sean you're gas altogether. a real sham a rogue... (Irish for shamrock)
My "bed room" blues eyes I "blame" on my Irish ancestry, likely from my Ulster Scots great grandmother. My Irish grandfather had blonde hair and wonderful light blue eyes.
The exotic is the erotic. The single drawback that Irish girls have for me is that we are too familiar. Asian, Afro-American, Latin and girls with heavy accents all have a 'je ne sias quoi' quality that I find far more irresistible. Of course, there was that lass from Limerick that I met in a shop in Bantry...
I think Sean needs to learn how to roll with the punches when dealing with Irish women. They look more fierce than they really are deep down inside. The current culture of Ireland causes these women to wear a false face of imagery while their perfect beauty is kept bottled up deep inside them. Let the Genie out of the bottle, Sean and she will fulfill your wildest fantasies.
Sounds like your mother and girlfriend didn't slap you enough!
Perhaps you should cross the Irish Sea and select a Brit for a relationship and maybe stay there!
No I'm not going to bitch about your article, We are feisty, no we don't all have fake tans,eyelashes nails,no we don't want to be part of sex and the city. Next time find a real Irish woman not one in the like of Temple bar.
