12 reasons Irish men really are the sexiest
Comment Katy Horwood
According to a recent poll, Irish men have been declared the sexiest men in the world. With the likes of Pierce Brosnan and Colin Farrell as national exports, this will come as little surprise to most. However, if your are still in doubt that men from the Emerald Isle are hot, here are 12 reasons to change your mind.
1. The craic Also known as the ‘fun and good times that have been occurring’ – something that Irish men take great pleasure from discussing.
So, instead of spending the evening moaning about a job they hate, your Irish date is more likely to ‘craic’ on with light-hearted chat and have you LOL-ing all the way to the bar.
2. An Irish man won’t bore you ‘Remember that lock-in with the four Irish guys we met in Dublin? That was a crap night wasn’t it’ Said no man, ever. Banter and devilment? You don’t know the meaning of the words unless you’ve had a night out in Ireland.
3. They’re easy-going ‘Ah sure, it’ll be grand’ … to *everything*
4. The accent The Irish accent is sexy. This is non-negotiable and there is no exception to the rule. Meaning that, regardless of looks, your average Irish man can spew out as much crap as he wants, and he’ll still be hot. And with a massive 73% of women saying it’s a voice or accent that makes a man sexy, is it any wonder we are weak at the knees when the Irish start to talk – like Viagra for the ears.
5. The chat-up lines Terrible, obvious but still ridiculously endearing.
6. Guinness The national drink and a diet staple for all note-worthy Irish men. The negative is it’s packed full of calories and tastes like tar. On the plus side, research shows drinking Guinness can help reduce the risk of a heart attack – and after four pints is more likely to guarantee a snog at the end of the night.
7. Irish men are hearty eaters Ireland is famous for oysters, the food of love – but if you’d rather pickle your own eyeball than eat one, there’s plenty more to choose from. Warm sourdough, beef stew, cottage pie, full breakfasts, roast dinners – take your pick, Irish boys certainly know how to enjoy their grub.
8. They’re passionate About ale, about music, about women, about life – about pretty much everything that involves either having fun, having an orgasm or having no recollection of the previous 24 hours.
9. Rugged good looks Black hair, blue eyes and with chest rugs so manly, they make Tom Selleck look like an extra from TOWIE.
10. Men of nature It’s not called the Emerald Isle for nothing. With its rolling hills and luscious landscape, there is no better place for romantic weekends away.
11. Guilty pleasures Micheal Flatley, Daniel O’Donnell, Jedward … what’s not to love?
12. Irish men love their mammies OK, so you might spend your entire relationship with an Irish man competing for attention and never living up to the standards set by mum, but hey, at least they’ll always be dinner on the table every Sunday.
