Reckon this isn’t exclusive to Irish people surely? And you can’t really label around 2+ million people with the same trait
An Irish person just accepting any form of compliment in a normal way is not physically possible.
“You’re awful sound. Thanks for that.”
Now, there’s some craic *puts down the Guinness, sips tea*
Ah I think that’s just universal trait of guys who won’t commit . Try different type of dude . Less entertaining dudes, less bon vivant , you get better chances .
Imagine posting this at 5.30 in the morning?
I don’t think this sub needs a gender debate this early on a Wednesday when most are going into work.
“I like you”
My genuine reaction: Oh poor choice, really
That’s just our brains buffering like “Holy shit is this actually working.”
I don’t get it
This is not an Irish man thing it’s a man thing. Sometimes men just want to have the craic and a bit of a laugh and when a woman reveals she is interested in him sexually or romantically when he isn’t in her then he must stop the craic and fun as she is taking it the wrong way. He then tried to get out of the situation to let her down easy me
Solution, let’s have then all complement the Guinness
Is this meme for teenagers ???
So many ships in the night have passed due to my particular Irish autism.
I had a recently similar re-experience. I was in my local talking to a rather lovely neighbour, when she asked for my snap chat. I gave her a 10 minute lecture on Chinese software and she left. It was only then my mate explained she was probably looking for my number. Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb. The only other problem is that Irish women hunt in packs . I don’t blame them it’s safe that way but approaching a group can be far more intimidating than I’m other countries.
As an Irish woman, don’t flatter yourselves thinking it’s only the foreign hotties this happens with.
Irish men turn into pre-pubescent boys around women.
Me to my now Irish husband when we started dating: “I’m really into you, do you want to hang out again?’ Him: “Ah now, I wouldn’t really be into me now to be honest, hah.” Me: 🫠
As one of the Irishmen in question, who’s been in that exact situation several times, including with my now wife, I’d say you need to make peace with the fact that many (but definitely not all) Irishmen find it very difficult to express certain feelings in certain situations for a variety of reasons (cultural, historical, societal etc etc) – I’m sure we can find a way to blame the Brits for it too.
However, when one of those Irishmen does tell you that they like you, or indeed that thet love you, you should cherish it eveb more because it’s more meaningful because it’s harder for them to say – they’re not like some Yank or Italian throwing out ‘I love yous’ like rice at a wedding.
It’s because an Irish woman would only say something like that if she was trying to scam you in some way.
Genuine expression from a woman like this is so unusual to an Irish man that he would have a better idea how to react to aliens landing in his front garden.
“I wouldn’t want to be part of a relationship that would have me as a member.”
This Irishman is happily married to an Italian woman,but I do always go into self deprecating mode if someone gives me a compliment.I also remember a time when a Spanish girl got angry with me because she was interested and I wasn’t reading the signs.
I still want one though.
Rehearsal vs performance
Sounds like he was just being friendly.
That meme has absolutely nothing to do with the caption….
Jaysus, memories flooding back in of the Polish girl in Dublin…..I couldn’t have fucked it up more once I found out she liked me.

Why men? I’m an Irish woman and I’m about as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike, when it comes to taking up hints. I’m surprised I even ended up with my fiancé 😂 I run and hide from compliments. A friend of mine told me I looked stunning a while back, while we were on a night out and I told her to fuck off 😂 (nicely obviously but it was more of a “ah fuck off no sure look at the state of me”).
We’re a nation of people terrified of having any sort of notions about ourselves.
