Why American women lose out to their Irish counterparts

Asian & Russian are the best. Irish women are stupidly stubborn & drink far too much. English women are slobs. American women on the whole are screwed-up.

Poor Kevin Zarlengo, you must get out more...out of Illinois that is and travel a little farther south, bless your heart. God forbid I sit around and wait for some guy to say something funny so I can he he he to him, I would hope he could keep up and come back with my humor and banter...that's the best! It is so true there is plenty of ditsy in this country...but there are plenty of women like myself around me that out wit most typical guys and girls and appreciate a good pint of Guiness, a shot of tequila or a Car Bomb...ok, No one take offense to that last term, I hope, that's what we call 'em and love 'em. Can probably out run you, beat you in arm wrestling and poker and out drive you on a tractor yet feminine to the enth degree. My ancestry is Irish on both sides, although it's been 250 years since they arrived in America, but the qualities Molly discussed in her article do exist in American women, you just haven't found them in the circles you run in. Get out of the city and the martini bars!

I'm Irish-American and my lady is Asian from the old country (not Asian-American).. I'd like to throw my hat in the ring and say Asian women are the best! It's certainly not in reference to submissiveness because few I met are; it's their beauty and femininity. Most American women I know are fat and very masculine in appearance and manner, plus aren't interested in maintaining said femininity. I'm not stereotyping, just saying my opinion and experience. Sure I'm going to piss a lot of people off, sorry about that!

ciaradexy.I married her for lots of reasons.All of which added to make her into an incredible person.Mentally: We hold the same values and expectations of life.And have achieved our happiness by having a fundamentally similar upbringing which helps togetherness and a meeting of minds as we go through the path of life.Being an Irishman I'm not going to get that from a BRAZILIAN skin painted,bone in her nose Amazonian Tupinamba tribes woman am I? (Even some people here are turned off by my double meaning Irish wit like this here)~~> I mean if Lady Tupinamba said.How about we do a bit of blow piping to get some dinner.An Irishman would take that all up wrong wouldn't he?All he'd hear was ~ Can I blow your pipe before dinner?.lol.It wouldn't be satisfactory at all.My extreme example proves that marrying within your "tribe" leads to less misunderstanding and so more chance of harmony.You are also totally wrong when it comes to physical aspects.Would you fancy going to bed with a BRAZILIAN skin painted,bone in his nose Amazonian Tupinamba tribesman??Of course looks are important.Even the tone of a persons voice or the hygiene of a person can be big turnoffs.It's all the many many little details from Nationality to Personality to Physicality which make up weather you think a person is incredibly desirable or not.~~ I suppose you're going to say I'm too fussy now.lololol Well I am.But so was my wife.We are 30 years together and very happily married with three children.Ciaradexy I understand where you are coming from in your argument and that's why I'm still married lol.I might get this wrong here and this guess doesn't take from my comment~~~But reading your comments over the last few months I'm guessing your age is between 25 and 30.Would I be right? BTW.No answer means yes ;)).

Sirp, I would hope that you feel your wife is superior to other women regardless of her hair colour,nationality of her granny or anything else thats not important. Did you marry her because she was Irish or did you marry her because shes incredible?

Many thanks, sirpeter! True, I have never been married, but am always looking. I'm pleased that you married that special Irish girl, and have a wonderful family!

ciaradexy.I'm not defending SingleDonald here.I'm sure he can look after himself.I'm just defending his harmless comment.He just expressed a preference for a certain type of woman with certain attributes.That's a personal opinion and a personal preference.It wasn't a generalization because he was very specific.He's attracted to Irish/Irish American women with strong personalities.He regards them as the elite among women.Putting it another way.I regard my Irish wife superior among women.She,s the best in the world.And my kids are the most beautiful kids on the planet.Do I sound bloody scary and does that fit the profile of a guy who goes around sniffing womens underwear by that statement? The worst you could say is I'm delusional.In my opinion you placed a pretty nasty profile on a PRESUMED SINGLE guy because IN GENERAL what you said fits better than a guy who HAS married his superior woman and so been married doesn't fit that profile unless you want to label all men as underwear sniffers.But then you would be GENERALISING.

ciaradexy, I appreciate your clarification, but it is way off base! I wanted to illustrate how Irish girls started attracting me at a young age. In fact, at ages 6 & 7, I didn't even know that the girl who would make the 75 Most Influential Irish Women in America was Irish. The attraction just came naturally, as it did with the redhead who liked me in 6th Grade (albeit belatedly), and all the minor crushes I experienced in Catholic Grade School, save one (she was slavic). I have friendly debates with Irishmen, as to who has the most attractive women. They say the Italian girls; I insist it is the Irish girls!!

Sirp, he sounds like the kinda man who sniffs womens underwear just because the women are Irish. Generalising about a countrys women is ridiculous. Everyone is different. I have met American men like Donald before and they are bloody scary.They freak women out. Seanmor, this is not 1920's Ireland, seriously. Move on.

If young Irish women are solely defined by their capicity to consume booze, that doesn't reflect positively on the people of Ireland as a whole. No matter how much alcohol is drunk by young women in Ireland nowadays, the fact remains that many generations of Irish females immigrationts lived exemplary lives in U.S. without becoming heavy consumers of alcoholic beverages. About half the Irish female immigrants I knew in the 60s were members of the P.T.A.A. (teetolars) and were noted for their sobriety, not for their boozing. Much of the money saved by these lovely ladies and their equally sober male counterparts found its way to needy families in the homeland.

ciaradexy.I'm intrigued by your outburst at SingleDonald.Are you going to answer the man?

ciaradexy, Please explain, "You are scary enough to make any woman run a mile let alone an Irish one".

SingleDonald, you are scary enough to make any woman run a mile let alone an irish one.

As I have said, I, an Italian American, regard Irish girls as the elite among womanhood! I'll accept either an Irish American, or one from Ireland! I concede there may be a fundamental difference between the two, but that would be OK! I'll repeat that my co-favorite grade school crush was voted as one of the 75 Most Influential Irish Women in America, in 2009! The other was Irish, too, in the Catholic School we attended, in Woodside, Queens, N.Y.

bogsidebunny.There might be plenty Polish,Latvian or Lithuanian lassies on the ground in Ireland.But there's an Irishman on top of each one of them.ppppppp
