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.

I think your observations are correct, very stoic and cold. I am half English, part scandinavian, part black/Asian etc and surrounded my whole life by Anglo-Saxon people. They don’t read passionate poetry, they want the cold literary intellectual version of poetry always, everything is reason with them, not fond of wild emotion and so on and so on. I have some of this myself, but then my black blood probably gives way to being more instinctual and passionate.

@sirenofthesea I'm half British as well. My other half is Italian. I was raised predominantly by the Italian side. Italians, like black, hispanic, french, spaniards, and portugeuse, etc, are very passionate. So going on dates with Anglo Saxon, non of the typical dating experience apply. They do not care for passion and are not passionate. Which, is why it's a struggle.

Best bet is a wild Irish girl, they exist. They have some passion but it tends to be feisty. @ShadowWolf
