Posted: 7/12/2009 4:36:58 PM | | Irish men aren't shallow. They have a lot to deal with in that the traditional Irish woman has historically had more than a hint of the nunly attitude about her, and there aren't enough convents to contain them all. Absent passion, and fearing a good crack of the ruler across the backside of the hand for dreaming of forbidden fruits, Irish men have tended to: 1) stay at home with the parents, 2) marry a widow 30 years senior, 3) engage in wholesome sporting activities and excessive drinking, 4) emigrate, 5) write fiction, 6) dedicate their life to a bureaucracy - mainly education, government or banking. The world is fortunate to have Irish men, the consummate bureaucrats, to run things like the Irish banking system and we have Irish women to thank for it. | |

"Nunly attitude" Maybe the poor unfortunate women who came across you ...ran like the wind into said convents.... | |

Posted: 7/15/2009 2:51:21 PM | It might be crap but its funny  Im sorry mir, I misread your post and for a minute I though you were implying that if an American with half a brain said something that was crap it actually meant Irish men are dumb. Does it mean if he has half a brain that he's half right? Id have to agree with points 1-6. Ive covered 1,3,4 & 6, just 2 and 5 left  now which one to choose? A good widow or a good book? | |

| Are Irish Men Shallow? Irish women shine brightest!
Posted: 7/31/2009 11:22:12 AM | | I would like to open up the thread again to inspire both sexes to think about what shallow means. Having been married to a Irishman and having four Irish sons my thoughts are not about the men being shallow, but about how much they can hit and how fast they can hit it, if you know what I mean. Irish women on the other hand have a depth of strength that weaves along the DNA/RNA strands. There is a ferocity and passion that shames the heat of the Spanish or Italian women. To the acclaim of world reknown intellectuals we shine brightest in the tapestry of creativity. Primal, feral intelligence is what allows such a dynamic culture and genders to rapture the world with charm and have the world clamor for more. We are blessed and should be proud to be both Irish and Irish women. | |

Posted: 8/10/2009 2:15:15 PM | | before accusing me of being narrow minded read all the posts first, i did state I have no problem with beer and sport, i'm a fan actually I just like MORE than just beer and sport. I hate repeating myself wish people would read the entire thread, its only 2 pages. | |

Posted: 8/12/2009 3:49:58 PM | You say 'shallow' like it's a bad thing.
It's easier to get out of shallow water.
These sites are teeming with fakes and triflers. Best to wade around where it's not too deep unless a VERY SPECIAL FISH swims along. Then it's time to use the good bait!
Ye mustn't be so hard on the poor lads! They're just trying to stay safe.

Posted: 10/25/2009 5:45:11 PM | Here's the thing about 'profiles': Don't dismiss them because you might not like the wording, unless it is something that is very off-putting or not what you are looking for. Send them a 'hello' and see what they write when they respond. Most of the time, their response is a lot better than what they wrote for the profile!
Secondly, on the internet, you often cannot get a realistic read of a person at all. That takes meeting IN PERSON! Some (many, we have found) people are Mr. Suave and erudite when typing thoughts into a computer, but often have nothing wise to say upon meeting them. You simply have to meet someone to get a read and find out what they are all about. Much fakery and game playing on the 'net, and we don't have time to waste. If you are just fooling around on the computer with no intentions of meeting a woman in , tell her so. | |

Posted: 10/25/2009 5:47:43 PM | Irish women have a nunnery attitude? ! What?! Not the ones here! Then how do you explain the 6-12 or more children?! And that is in recent years as well as past generations.
My ex bf has a mother whose family comes from Mayo but she was born here. She had 7 kids in America!
Many Irish men are incredibly hot and charming! They have to be to produce that many offspring and make up for the drinking and bad behavior, right?! | |
