What Irish women want in a man

There's a old American song"...women get weary wearing the same shabby dress, when they get weary try a bit of tenderness." As a American for me its respect, truth, humor, blue eyes, lots of laughter and lots of sex.

Some of these posts were brilliant got a good laugh out of them. Antoman you would probably get the burger and chips between the two eyes.

CaptainCon, I sometimes imagine myself like the Tin Woodsman, when the Wizard of Oz addressed him. Frank Morgan said to Jack Haley, " You come to me for a heart! You don't know how lucky you are not to have one!" The Wizard would say to me, "You come to me for a wife! You don't know how lucky you are not to have one! Despite the risks you describe, it would still be nice to have a wife, someday. Yes, she would likely be Irish, or half Irish!

I am an ould woman, married over 50 yrs to my irish man. Irish men don't need to change, they are who they are. Thats what keeps a marriage from being dull. You should know your man well enough...before you marry him. They have the gift of the gab, and laughter in their hearts. The man with the castle.. only interested in building more castles and not in family life. Molly....saying we are obsessed with land, what you should have said is...most irish man will strive to build a home for his family. Way before the celtic tiger hit, we have had our own freehold homes all over Ireland. 40yrs ago some people were calling Ireland ..bungalow bliss, no boom then, just hard working irish men striving to get a home built for their families. So leave our irish men alone, the girls love them just the way they are.

The usual ... has to be good looking, good talker, good provider and wealthy. Lads don't get married. You will become the first target for a woman looking for a second income when her life doesn't pan out the way she dreamed. It will become the man's fault and he will hear about it constantly for the rest of his life- if he gets fed up with it there's a major price tag on the way out as well. Cop on lads- most men get married young and stupid and then pay for it the rest of their lives- its one of the reasons why men die earlier on average. Keep your own income and let the sisters do it for themselves- they keep singing about it- lets see them do it. No marriage- no divorce. No divorce and you have time and money to do your own thing.

Great advice! I love it, without taking everything literally! Murphy66, I hope Irishman go Asian, or Italian. As an Italian American, that will leave more Irish girls available for me!

Sounds like if you marry one of these women you will need a good prenuptial agreement, so they don't make off with your property!

ahh these are great, but the comments are epic!! sure we love all that the article implies, but, w/ a softer touch on the demands... guys know how to get a girl I'm sure, some are just more shy than others. meh.

Since WHEN did women know what they want? Like the weather, wait 5 minutes and it will change. I thought Abe Lincoln abolished Slavery? What MEN WANT is a woman with a tiny little bit of common sense, and a realisation that WE OWN the remote!!

Love this article!

@jamieLM-Thank you.Just having a bit of fun.

@antoman, you can be counted on to deliver a humorous post. I got a laugh at your Property & Maturity comments. You have the Irish sense of humor. Life has so many serious things going on. Good for you to lighten things up a bit, although I'm not sure about the drill set. LOL Btw: great comment, IAPRINCESS.

And then they become bare footed and pregnant.

I don't think the mother of this man has been born yet!

Property and pride in property-A caravan with a functioning cooker.Maturity-I once finished a 1000 piece jigzaw in two weeks despite it saying on the box 12 years and up.Style-No beer stains on de t-shirt nor is the zipper on the trousers rusty.Banter-Born not far from Blarney Castle.Romance-Buy the old doll a black and decker drill set,she will love you for it.Masculinity-My beer belly intimidates younger bucks.Sense of adventure-Getting into bed with an Irish woman.Wit and humility-Seeing that vein that appears next to her eye once a month and having the good sense to go to the pub telling her you will bring her back a bag of chips and a burger.
