I fear there's alot of projection ging on in this articel. It's a case of projective journalism, i.e. a wishlist. Can appreciate how it's sometimes purposeful to write what you want to be the case instead of what is actually is the case. Still, Antoinette! I think you're cute. And watch the guillotines with a name like that. Whatever you do, don;t marry an Irishman called Maximillian Robiespierre.

Exactly Sir! None of my friends have more than 3 kids which would be the maximum. They all do their fair share of housework. Maybe this article is about 'irish' American men?

The average family size in Ireland is 3.In the US it's 2.6 I know for a fact kids make a man feel more like an ATM machine than feeling masculine.

Great article. Sounds just like American men I've dated, except they don't have the pros the Irish men do, esp. 2,3, and 4, all great qualities.

My Father's side of the family are Irish and I for one enjoy the character of the men. They make you laugh,can cheer you up about anything. I would rather marry an Irish man than an American man.

Not a lot of research went into this article--or if it did it must come from about 40 years ago!! lol

Marry an irishman if you must, but for gods sake dont use an irish solicitor to get rid of him, youl be potless for ever after, and dont expect maintenance or alimony cos although it might be the law, youd be very hard pressed to find a copper who gives a cuss bout serving warrants(they have so much more important thing to do) especially if you live in the general area of County Kildare.

Hate to tell you guys, but the "six reasons not to marry an Irishman" don't apply to most of the friends that I have. Sane people they are too.
Oh, except for number 5. I don't dance. Except waltzing, I can do that.

I really hope this is a joke. This describes most American men as well. So please, stop bashing your own men and enjoy them, will you?
