SIX REASONS TO MARRY AN IRISHMAN …
Family is extremely important to an Irishman. Family is the core of an Irish man’s masculinity and the more children he has, the more masculine he feels.
Irishmen don’t sweat the small stuff. An Irishman has surprisingly great coping strategies. Stress isn’t in the vocabulary of an Irishman ... chilled and relaxed is the way he embraces life.
An Irishman will go out of his way to do nice things for people who are important to you. He'll pick your mother up from the airport even though his favourite team is playing on the television, he'll sit with your best friend and listen to her woes and he'll take your brother to play golf, even if he doesn’t like him.
An Irishman has a fantastic sense of humour. He makes light of serious situations, which can defuse an argument or simply make you feel better after a hard day's work.
An Irishman’s loyalty to his friends is admirable. Aside from his family, an Irishman takes pride in his male friendships and goes out of his way to make certain his friends' needs are met in a generous and heartfelt manner.
An Irishman’s heart is as big as the ocean. Although Irishmen might not be the best at expressing their emotions, their actions, more often than not, speak volumes.
SIX REASONS NOT TO MARRY AN IRISHMAN …
Mammy will always come first. He may love you but he loves his mother more … you are destined for a life of comparison.

‘This is how my mother cooks it, this is how my mother does it…. ‘
An Irishman likes to have his wife do most of the household chores including cooking, cleaning and paying the bills. He may help out once in a while, but overall, it’s the woman who will always run the household with little direction or help from her Irish husband.
An Irishman doesn’t like to shop. He thinks it’s fine to wear the same pants and shirt you met him dressed in, six years ago, to your mother’s birthday party. If you want him to wear new clothes, then it will be your responsibility to shop for him. And don’t ask him to come along with you.
An Irishman thinks it’s perfectly OK to pass wind in front of you, 30 times a day! Following the flatulence may come, ‘Wasn’t that a grand one?’, or at least you’re guaranteed a hearty pride-filled laugh.
An Irishman can’t dance. He doesn’t know his left foot from his right foot and therefore provides for a clumsy first dance mate at your wedding reception. And dance lessons prior to your wedding are out of the question. He would be mortified if his mates discovered his secret.
An Irishman rarely shows emotion. The exceptional occasion is the death of a loved one or the loss of his favourite football team. Aside from that, an Irishman keeps his feelings behind lock and key and the issue is rarely up for discussion.
But he’ll make you laugh, he’ll tell you you’re pretty, he’ll keep you grounded, he’d talk to an empty chair (it doesn’t matter if he hasn’t kissed the Blarney stone, Irish men love to talk) and, apart from the charm, the accent and the chat, there’s always the craic factor.
But be warned … whether he’s dark or fair … your children are likely to have red hair and/or freckles!
