Why Irish Dating Can be Surprisingly Toxic #05

[@A.Montgomery]

I must say, Clara is one of the cutest and most fun women I’ve ever ‘met.’ If all Irish people are like her, I love the Irish! Thank you, Marina-this has become my favorite podcast! :) I still don’t know which culture from which country would fit me best, but maybe I will soon. Greetings from Germany!

I loved listening to this podcast! 🫶

[@bridodonnell6698]

As an Irish woman, i agree with her 😊

[@scarba]

Will you do Scotland too?

[@talideon]

A lot of this is more South Dublin than Ireland as a whole, which is definitely its own bubble separate from the rest of the city, never mind the country.

[@paulcolin9071]

South Dublin and the D4 scene are often mixed up by outsiders though too ie non-Dubs

So glad you said this. I visited Ireland and fell in love, but interestingly enough, Dublin was not a part I enjoyed. Why? So many people who were on the streets drunk/ on drugs. It seems that Dublin has maintained the drink and the people have suffered for it. I preferred the Northern part of Ireland with the windy narrow roads. Beautiful fields, and just old cobble cottages that I wish I could live in.

I'm Irish and almost never drink, and have never once been asked why am I not drinking. Usually I will have a coffee/coke/non-alcoholic beer, and nobody gives a shit. If they did give me hassle over it, then they're an asshole and I wouldn't want anything to do with them.

Thank you so much Marina and Clara! I'd like to date Irish women too 😊

[@datingbeyondborderscast]

You are very welcome!

Does the Brazilian man and Irish woman couple work well? I'm single and being transferred to Cork in June.

The resemblance between the Irish and the English in most of these respects is uncanny (e.g. tall poppy syndrome, banter, pack mentality).

My neighbor left Dublin 30 years ago. He was a falling down drunk in his 20s. He woke up one morning face down in a ditch and hasn’t had a drop since. His 11 siblings all drank heavily and many died before age 60.

Irish people go abroad to party with other irish people in better weather.

Canada put her in remission ! 😂 The loss of christian values in Ireland !

[@silverkitty2503]

We are not a christian people in ireland we are a pagan people.

[@derekpappas1556]

@@silverkitty2503 You were pagean people ! Christianity has not survived this long in Ireland without the behest of the greater populace . Ireland's allowance for abortion must then be a pagean / atheistic value .

[@paulcolin9071]

Christian values is hardly an Irish thing

​@silverkitty2503 i am glad to hear it ❤

Ireland has the worst dating scene in the world especially since the extremely tyrannical lockdowns for 2 years.

[@CenationTroop]

So how do people in Ireland meet?

[@stormmaster108]

It's hard to believe that it can be worse than southern countries, not to mention islamic countries.

[@sebastian-roland]

[@paulcolin9071]
