I think I'm done dating Irish/English girls.

Now when I say Irish English, I am referring to women who are over 33% Irish and/or English. My reasoning here from data from dating complied is:

1. I am of a more "romantic" and "warm" European ancestry. Think French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Greek. Irish/English girls are not "warm and fuzzy", or romantic from my experience. Very stoic, and more standoffish especially when it comes to physical touch. Also the personality is far less flirty than that of the more "romantic" Euro ethnicities. This is a direct conflict with how I approach dating, which is romantic and breaking the touch barrier early. I cannot figure Irish/English women out and how to progress anything with them because it seems the expectations are different. This makes any date with an Irish/English girl feel platonic... and it goes NOWHERE.

2. With Italian/Greek/French/German/Portuguese/Arabic girls, my success rate is 80% for a second date and 70% for a relationship. With a girl who is over 33% English/Irish, my success rate for a second date is 5% and my success rate for a relationship is 1%.

3. They seem to have much more of an "independence" mindset. This goes from being kicked out at 18 and paving their path from there, into not "needing" a romantic partner. This conflicts with many other (including my), Euro ancestry, which typically stay with their parents longer, and are less afraid of being in a committed arrangement with a partner.

I just don't understand what Irish/English girls expect on a first date. Or why my failure rate is so high with them. Sometimes I think they have a stick up their arse. The worst part is, I am most attracted to Irish/English features (light features). But the personalities are just so... cold. Any input greatly appreciated.

Jesus Christ, are you gonna ask someone's Ancestry DNA test before asking them out?
How romantic.

@basilfawlty89 It's a pretty common question when first getting to know someone. I don't need an ancestry test to ask a simple question.

@ShadowWolf you said 33% man, not me. Most Americans are anyway mixed with a bunch of different European ancestries.

Also, I should headhunt you for saying Irish/English. We're hardly interchangeable and have quite a... divisive history.

@basilfawlty89 That's easy man. If they have a parent that is 100%, they are at least 50%. If they have a parent that is 75%, they are at least 33%. Easy to deduce without a test by asking simple questions about their family. Yes most Americans are mixed, but you'd be surprised at how many have 50% or more UK ancestry. For obvious reasons.

No need to headhunt me. I know that you arent interchangeable. But from my experience, the personalities are very very close. Irish are just a little more fun.
