Reasons To Date an Irishman!

1. You won’t put your hand in your pocket

Irish men can be very decent when it comes to paying for a lady. Of course there are exceptions (men with their communion money still under their mattress) but many of them love the feel of the dollar in their hand and will make sure your glass is always half full.


2. He will make you laugh

Irish men are funny. Some are even funny looking. But most of them will make you laugh at some of their cheeky remarks. Let’s face it; there is nothing better than a man who can make you laugh.

3. He will tell you you’re pretty

Irish men are not afraid to give compliments. They usually strike a balance in this department and will find subtle ways to make you feel pretty and appreciated. None of this “honey, baby your beautiful” craic.

4. He will keep you grounded

He won’t be treating anyone like a princess and will be sure to tell you if you are getting too big for your boots. Their honestly can be brutal, but almost always beneficial.

5. He will argue with you

Few Irish men can hold their tongue so be prepared to a good heated debate on whichever topics arise.

6. You can listen to his accent

Listening to the rustic tones of any Irish man is enough to make many women weak at the knees.

7. He will be charming

A enchanting attribute passed on by their mammies no doubt, they can and will charm you like no other. With their warm smile and attentive ways.

8. He would talk to an empty chair

It doesn’t matter if he hasn’t kissed the Blarney stone, Irish men love talking that much that they would sit and talk to an empty chair.

9. You’re guaranteed to have good craic

Between the charm, the accent and the chat. Even if you don’t find him particularly attractive, the craic factor will draw you in.

    You forgot, could listen happily to the accent all day without understanding a blasted word and not caring a bit. Whoops, no you didn't, that made it on there. But it would be #1 on my list!

    As an Americanized Irish guy, I approve of this! Women should date more Irish guys...namely me!

    I want an Irish guy in Ireland, though. For the accent, and so I can move!

    Coming from an Irish Catholic... I am damn proud of my heritage! One thing that I was taught constantly through my growing up is: Respect! I always show people the highest respect, just dont piss me off. There is no wrath greater than that of an Irish man or worse woman! And Leila will probably know this .... When you are friends or family with anyone Irish ... you are family... we stick together and will always help another out!

    Bet you won't like my Mum's. She's from Ulster (Northen Ireland) - she can make "I love you, so I do" sound like a scary threat!

    Huh. I wonder if bluntness is genetic? Most of my ancestors are Irish, and I've been accused of having no tact at all!

    I'm Irish and living in Ireland - therefore the accent doesn't do anything for me at all..

    Well, depends on the accent I suppose... Love the Cork and Kerry accents - though don't know any single available men from there..

    *Note to self. Don't visit Cork or Kerry when looking for a date!*

    I just meant that obviously someone in your family will know my someone in my family and they'll tell my Mum that I was messing about on here whilst at work and then my Mum will tell her sisters and they will tell my cousins and everyone will know what a slacker I am. Zero punctuation intended.
