Ah us women – we truly are a complicated bunch! Being a member of the fairer sex I feel the need to dispel the preconception that women are from Venus and men are from Mars. You know what? We are all in fact from a small blue and green sphere called Earth! Now it is true that us women possess deep and complex minds with thoughts and ideas so profound that no man can even begin to comprehend them, but here is a simple guide for you men to enable you to understand your missus :- 10 Things Every Man Should Know About Irish Women. Consider this your new Bible!
1. Do not interrupt episodes of Made in Chelsea. The daily lives and goings-on of our favourite well-heeled Knightsbridge pals is compulsive viewing and requires our full attention. Under no circumstances do you interrupt or indeed breath throughout this glamour-fest (unless one of the eligible bachelors from the show is knocking on our frontdoor!)
2. We like to be complimented. All girls like to be told they look nice from time to time. Tell us we look beautiful when we do and notice when we get out hair done! We have spent a small fortune on having our hair styled afterall – the least you can do it make one small teeny weeny comment about it. It will make us feel special and in return you can reap the benefits of our good spirits.
3. When we say; “We just want a cuddle” – we mean exactly that! – We just want a cuddle! Sometimes all we want is to get into the most fleecy pjs we own and curl up on the couch with our mans arms around us. No sneaky attempts to ‘cop a feel’ wanted! If we want more action – don’t worry we will let you know!
4. We like our men rugged and masculine! Now I’m not saying we want bulging muscles and guns of steel but we want our men to look after themselves! A little maniscaping is good but don’t go OTT on it – a little hair on the chest is a good thing and under no circumstances do you pluck your eyebrows (unless it’s to get rid of a uni-brow – then that’s acceptable). We like our men to look good but not to have taken longer to get ready for a night out than we do! We need the bathroom mirror more than you do!
5. On a first date – we expect you to pay. 
We may offer but we don’t expect you to take us up on it! This is a very important factor and can determine whether a second date is on the cards.
6. Shaving legs is a complete pain! The lengths that we women go to for the opposite sex is grueling and ridiculous. In the early stages of a relationship our legs will be silky smooth one hundred percent of the time.
But be warned – once we have reeled you in the occasional bit of stubble may appear on our legs! Oopsies! But you know what? Sometimes we just cannot be bloody bothered! We are normal natural ladies and surprise surprise we do have hair on our legs (and other places too!) Even Victoria Secrets models cultivate forests on their pins. Check out stunning Alessandra Ambrosio caught shaving her money makers in the back of a car last week! Oh and it gives us an extra layer of warmth in the winter too!
7. When we say; “Oh I can’t have that. I’m on a diet”…the correct response is for you to re-assure us that there is no need for us to diet and that we look amazing the way we are. Do not remain silent, shrug and continue to scoff through the rest of the Ben & Jerry’s tub infront of us!
8. Sometimes it’s just lovely to be offered a cuppa tea and your favourite chocolate bar as a surprise – no strings attached!
9. Girls like a bit of old-fashioned chivalry. All that’s required is that men open the door for their lady and allow her to walk through first. Easy peasy! Oh and standing up when she arrives into a restaurant is a must. I had the very awkward experience where my blind-date was already seated at the table surveying the menu when I arrived (I recognised him from facebook.)
As I approached the table he just sat there, ass glued to the seat, simply glanced up at me and said; “Hi”. Nothing more and nothing less. He didn’t even introduce himself! Stand up and give your date a kiss on the cheek for god’s sake! Chivalrous without going overboard! First impressions count and needless to say no second date followed.
10.Don’t diss our friends. They have been around longer than you and more than likely are going to stand the test of time and be around long after you have gone too! It’s OK for us to have a little rant about our closest girlfriends every now and then but you do not have the right to wade in on this. Just remain tight-lipped and nod politely – it’s far safer for you! Next week that friend could be back as flavour of the month!
So there you have it boys – not too difficult to decipher at all. Now just adopt the above as a mantra and recite it each morning to your reflection in the mirror (not creepy at all!)
