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.

Acalavero no offence but I refuse to believe there are two separate humans who believe this.

Shane Lynch married Esther from Eternal.

Quintella you're completely wrong. He actually always looks like he's just done a secret fart and is trying to inhale it through his nostrils without anyone noticing.

Quintella · 27/02/2019 00:03

Elspeth a subtle but distinct difference! Grin He's definitely the sort to sniff his own emissions. Dirty, sex addicted, bugger.

the truth is out there

@Pinkkahori

I meant both! How many do you know irl?!

Acalavero · 27/02/2019 00:05

@Pinkkahori

Sorry just saw you said several, can you elaborate? I.e what ethnicity are the women? Age etc

Michael Fassbender is an Irish celeb and has a tanned dark haired wife and and black girlfriends and has in the past gone for middle eastern woman/women (not gonna tell you how I know it but believe me I knowGrin)

I’m dying here this is hysterical 😭 The very very tall blonde actress who netted Poldark doesn’t even have a manly face, just that strong jaw that most screen actors have. She gets terrible hate from his granbase but I’m sure riding Poldark senseless more than makes up for it.

Moralitym1n1 · 27/02/2019 00:06

Embarrassed to admit this bit I forgot Aidan turner is Irish, thought he was English cause I've heard him doing Poldark accent for so long ( and his hobbit accents English too, isnt it).

@poppingoff

Half German, doesn't count!!
But seriously, he was absolutely set on mixed race ladies for a while; was surprised when he got into a relationship (marriage now I believe) with little Alicia.

Quintella · 27/02/2019 00:10

Andrew Scott has absolutely no interest in unusually tall blonde women.

Acalavero · 27/02/2019 00:10

@minesthecutest

20 points to you! Just googled fassbender, you're right he's had a black gf and a Latino looking one!

Another one bites the dust!!

poppingoff · 27/02/2019 00:10

And I loved Shane. Just not enough to start a "Do Irish men generally prefer average height black women" thread.

hairylemons · 27/02/2019 00:12

Quintella He loves plenty of Nike. Also his girlfriend is hardly like the back end of a bus.

LemonTT · 27/02/2019 00:13

Part of the observation can be explained by the fact Irish men tend to be short. Except the tall ones, Liam Neeson and the other bloke, Jamie thingy. But they are clearly Viking stock, so outliers. But the rest are small with difficult names.

hairylemons · 27/02/2019 00:14

Also- plot twist! Aidan Turner dated Lenora Crichlow his fellow actor in Being Human who is an actual black person! And he was Irish at the time!

hairylemons · 27/02/2019 00:14

30 points to me surely!

Quintella · 27/02/2019 00:14

Tall, slim , pretty blonde. What a minger. As you say, riding the bollocks off Ross Poldark will hopefully bring her some sort of consolation! Grin

hairylemons · 27/02/2019 00:15

Quintella It’s certainly a situation I could learn to accept.

Irish men are veritable giants compared to Scottish men. I'm not sure why Scottish men are so much shorter, but they are. On the West Coast at least.

Lol...

Quintella · 27/02/2019 00:19

Jonathan Rhys Meyers' partner does not appear to be tall or blonde.
