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.

My Irish brothers are both married to Germans (small and blond) None of my 19 Irish male cousins are married to tall blonds , there is a real mish mash going on.

Charlize Theron was with an Irish guy for a long time , StuartTownsend I think he was called .Now she is a tall blond!

Not anymore schnubbins. She's had it with Irish men hitting on her.

No. All Irish men are too busy leading the League of Shadows, to be marrying tall blonde women who look like men. They would be a distraction from the true task of cleansing Gotham City, and so Irish men remain single and focus on their true purpose.

Disclaimer: response based on extensive research of watching that Irish guy, Liam Neeson, in Batman Begins that one time. But I'm pretty sure its representative. Blokes are all the same, after all. Especially Irish ones.

OP - might be time to top your meds up 😂

Irish men are far too busy cutting turf out on the bogs to be bothering with those blonde tall women.

(Can we tie this thread to Brexit in any way? If Irish men stopped taking the EU's supply of blonde women there'd be no need for a back stop?)

Like a pp I would like to find out which nationality goes for short, fat, brown grey haired (older) women please.

Its the plain and masculine face bit that has properly tickled me! Bitter much OP? Grin

GreatWesternValkyrie · 27/02/2019 14:38

This thread has just reminded me about a book I was listening to on Audible. Someone had commented to complain about the terrible Russian accent employed by the narrator.

The terrible Russian accent from Jamaica 😆

Sadly, no info on whether a plain manly faced tall blonde was preferred by either the Russia or the Jamaican (who for the purposes of this thread are both Irish and far too busy with backstops to be womanising anyway) .

Little bit of the old racism there, op.

HarryPottersSecretSister · 27/02/2019 15:03

I have jet black hair, am 5'8", don't think I have a masculine face and am married to an Irish man.

I'm Irish too, mind.

Am just thinking - out of all of my uncles (many! we're Irish Wink), all of my BIL's (again many because again, we're irish), any of my male cousins, male friends - I can't think of one that is married to a tall blonde. Maybe a short blonde alright, or a tall brunette but no tall blondes.

Acalavero · 27/02/2019 15:43

I find it more intriguing that the op has gone silent with no response. I really wanna know her reasoning for asking this question

Pishogue · 27/02/2019 18:21

Another one for me would be the Mass Test: 'and what did Fr Murphy talk about during the homily, hmmm?'

And, for a bonus point: 'What was the responsorial psalm???' Grin

Quintella · 27/02/2019 18:32

'ummmm, To You Lord, I.....ummmm.....mumble......mumble'

the bloody Mass Test always caught me out Grin

DuchessOfPhysics · 27/02/2019 18:34

I'm Irish and I don't think there's any formula!
The best looking woman they can 'get' is what they go for I think.

And some men like tall women, some aren't bothered. I think it's the short men who like a woman their own height or a bit taller and taller men aren't bothered. I know because I"m short and blond.

GregoryPeckingDuck · 27/02/2019 18:35

Surely on someone incredibly shallow would have this kind of ‘taste’ if you can call it that,

Pishogue · 27/02/2019 18:49

Quintella, you were clearly sitting on the windowsill of the pub across from the church, pint in hand, therefore technically ‘at Mass’. Grin

DrMorbius · 27/02/2019 18:53

All men prefer tall blondes. Getting one is usually the problem Angry Blush

Mumshappy · 27/02/2019 18:56

Im tall and blond but not masculine looking (i dont think) and my ex (ds's dad) is Irish.

theothermum · 27/02/2019 19:01

Haha I dated an Irishman who had a preference for tall blondes. Which I am not so that relationship didn't really last.

Phuquocdreams · 27/02/2019 19:12

Bono’s wife is brunette, and does not, in my opinion, look like a man. Not sure how tall she is tho

AhNowTed · 27/02/2019 19:37

Stupid thread not worth anyone's time

twattymctwatterson · 27/02/2019 20:06

Oh aye. So manly

My father was Irish and my mother is blonde but petite and pretty. However I am tall and blond with a mannish face but no irish man has ever been interested in me. So have I just disproved the theory?

PanGalaticGargleBlaster · 27/02/2019 22:34

I'm Irish and my wife is a 5ft 2 brunette.

GirlOnIt · 27/02/2019 22:40

My dads Irish, he's had so many partners I can't keep track! Of the ones I've known and including my mum they're had a variety of hair colours, but they've all been petite rather than tall! Maybe that's where he's going wrong and if he'd finally meet a tall blonde who'd have him he'd be happy and not need to fuck around on her.
