Where are the Irish guys in Brooklyn?

So . . . you're NOT interested in Northern Irish but you're looking for Irish?
I think you should explain that.

Well, technically Northern Ireland is still geopolitically part of the UK, so there can indeed be quite a cultural difference.

aren't there irish dudes at mooney's? they did yell at me for ordering an irish car bomb ...

No, all Irish dudes are awesome! But Northern Irish accents are a little unpleasant IMHO. Sometimes they can also be a little harder for me to understand. Northern Irish guys are no less charming and fun, though.

Where's Mooney's?

flatbush btwn sterling & park.

Isn't that, like, an old man bar? Maybe I'm wrong...

yeah ... I thought you were looking for the Irish -- you didn't specify age. young, cute Irish guys? hit the Irish pubs in midtown & talk to the barkeeps. they're all Irish, young, and cute.

Would you like them delivered to your house? ;-)

Seems like you are trying to order online - must be cute, young, accent that you like, nearby, etc.

<---preparing my order

I'd like a glaswegian. young and cute is nice, but rough & tumble even better.

Why are you scoping for dates with Irish guys... brooklynites, latinos and blacks are not your taste?

This whole thread is really wierd.....

Weird how?

Irish-Irish guys flirt differently than American guys do. For instance, Irish guys (here and abroad) regularly ask me to marry them. It's bullsh!t, but it's fun bullsh!t.

Every culture has different buttons that are okay to push and not to push in the flirting game.

I like Irish buttons.

Queen, you've confused me. You say that you skew "Unionist" but you feel it'll be a long time before that happens. I take it, then, that you support a united Ireland. FYI, a Unionist supports the union of GB and Norn Iron and a united Ireland is anathema to them.

Brooklynites - yawn. Dime a dozen.

I guess for some, novelty is fun! "New cow theory" and all...

That means I'm a bull, I guess. Moo!

I got a Mexican boyfriend at Commonwealth by showing him my Virgen de Guadalupe tattoo (it's on my ass). He bought me a drink and demanded my number. it was very exciting in a drunken, 'I'm such a shitfaced moron' way. He never called though, so I dumped him.

You were too good for him, alafairnadia!

This thread would be alot better if it was about Australian chicks.

Or Canadian guys.

aussie chicks

Gee, thanks. Now I'm hungry.

I only know one; she's married and in Australia.

Aussie chick, I mean.

Oh no, you misunderstood. I don't want to meet any real Australian women, you know, with the accent and the hat with corks and whatnot.

I meant, where are all the Australian-American women around?

Hat with corks?

Yes, I'd love one, thank you!

What on earth do you mean by 'Australian-American' if there's no Australian accent at all? Someone born there who moved here at a young age? An American who lived there for a while as an adult?

If you see a hat with corks, it's definitely a gullible American tourist lured into buying one at Circular Quay or Mascot airport, not an Australian or American-Australian.

If it's Australians living medium-long term in NY you're after, there are up to 10,000 new E3 visas a year since 2004, all of whom are professionals / specialists / business leaders at the top of their fields, filling jobs that the US workforce can't supply, offered better terms by the US govt. than to any other nationality, and better opportunities than in AU. A large fraction of them move to NY; it's now the #1 destination for top AU graduates, due to overtake London with its hoards of mostly slave labor Aussies on work/holiday visas. With middle to high incomes, they concentrate in Manhattan and brownstone Brooklyn. The genuine article is most likely stunningly gorgeous, live hard play hard, pragmatic, irreverant, independent, and robust for 500,000 miles without an oil change. There's quite a few sheilas in Prospect Heights; e.g. I know of a couple where the wife is a proprietor of a store on Vanderbilt. Last two bbqs I've been to round here I met girls who were Australian or had lived there for a long time. If you go to the Sheepstation on 4th Av any night, you'll probably find some, or stop by for a saussage roll and a Lammington at one of the Tuckshops in Manhattan.

I also hear their debonair, devil-may-care personalities are know to sweep hordes of swooning ladies off their feet. Raffish cads!
