Do irish men generally prefer tall blondes?

I know each person supposedly has different tastes in what they like or don't like but it seems a lot of irish men (esp in the celeb industry) seem to go for tall, blonde women. These woman can often have very plain or masculine looking faces but still look relatively nice due to being blonde.. is there any specific reason behind this? I know everyone might have preferences but to that extent where it's such a strong preference? Just curious :) thanks

With prince harry (not irish) but seemed like nearly every woman he dated was tall and blonde, yet he went for very dark haired meghan in the end and committed to her more than the 10 or so blondes he was with before.

None of the Irish men who I know personally are married to a tall blonde. Confused

This is so weird as I want to know this too! Have a slight work crush on an Irish guy he seems to stare at me but not sure if this is my imagination getting the better of me??!
I'm ethnic so dark hair, dark skin eyes etc I always like u assume Irish men like blondes

can anyone else can shed some light here?!?

ElspethFlashman · 26/02/2019 22:58

Are you high??

2019willbegreat · 26/02/2019 22:58

Most bizarre post of the day I think? Not quite sure what you are hoping to get out of this?

DramaAlpaca · 26/02/2019 22:58

Well, I'm tall & blonde & my DH is Irish if that helps. He's not a celebrity though Confused

Pishogue · 26/02/2019 22:59

This is a wacko theory. And what does Prince Harry have to do with Irish male celebrities’ supposed preference for blondes?

Are you hopelessly in love with an Irishman, but 5 ft 2 and brunette?

EdWinchester · 26/02/2019 22:59

Yes. All Irish men like only tall blondes.

donajimena · 26/02/2019 23:00

I'm tall and blonde and I am not beating hordes of admiring Irish men away.

Acalavero · 26/02/2019 23:00

This isn't a weird post at all why do people have to be so negative on here? The point of MN is to ask questions on here impartially and also questions u might be too embarrassed to ask irl

I'm curious too as I, like the op always assumed Irish men preferred blondes- she's just asking if ppl know different?

NothingOnTellyAgain · 26/02/2019 23:00

Huh?

Don't lots of famous / sleb men, whether irish or otherwise, seem to "go for" tall blondes?

Whereas in real life, Irish men the same as other men go for a range of people, someitmes including (gasp) men.

Moralitym1n1 · 26/02/2019 23:01

but it seems a lot of irish men (esp in the celeb industry

Which irish men - I can't think of one Irish man off the top if my head who's with a tall blonde.

elQuintoConyo · 26/02/2019 23:02

DH says he likes 5ft4 silver foxettes.

No one in his family is with a tall blonde.

NothingOnTellyAgain · 26/02/2019 23:02

Rod stewart famously likes tall blondes

he's not irish though

where does that leave us

DamnShesaSexyChick · 26/02/2019 23:02

You sound like you have an issue with/are jealous of blonde women tbh

Moralitym1n1 · 26/02/2019 23:03

Incidentally my partner, Northern Irish, does fancy a couple of tall blondes (Sharon stone and Charlize Theron) but mostly fancies tall brunettes (far more of them than blondes).

EdWinchester · 26/02/2019 23:03

I now want to know of a celeb Irish man with a manly faced, tall blonde partner.

Doyoumind · 26/02/2019 23:03

Wtf? Confused

NothingOnTellyAgain · 26/02/2019 23:04

i am blonde but only 5'3

DH is not famous or irish

after we met it turned out he had always preferred tall brunettes

TWIST my great grandfather was Irish

HaroldsSocalledBluetits · 26/02/2019 23:04

Which irish men

Tsk OP has already said - Irish men like famous Irishman Prince Harry, as evidenced by his tall blonde wife.

@Moralitym1n1
Loads like Paddy McGuiness, Brian McFadden's second fiance (delta), second wife (vogue williams) and current girlfriend (so clearly it doesn't always work out lol) and Ronan Keating

Jonathan rhys meyers is a nice exception to it though

Acalavero · 26/02/2019 23:05

@Moralitym1n1

I can - Roman Keating his ex and current partner both tall & blond

Colin Farrell
And Liam Neesons deceased wife

These three cane to my head right away but I am sure there are lots more as that stereotype has come from somewhere

Bw3344 · 26/02/2019 23:06

My DP too is northern Irish and I'm 5ft2 and not a real blonde, and he has a thing for latino looking ladies (though he is partial to blonde lol)

NothingOnTellyAgain · 26/02/2019 23:07

But BUT don't lots of MEN like tall blondes

what with them beign all over hollywood and porn and whatnot

in fact blondes of any height

I don't understand the ZOMG tall blondes it's hardly niche?

Meanwhile, Irish men have been known to be gay & etc
