I've lived in a few countries, and I think this may be partly an Irish problem. In this country men and women tend to socialise separately. They only get together to shag, or to attempt to anyway. Other, happier, countries don't seem to live that way. The English do, of course, but they only have sex once a year, at the office Christmas party, so they are hardly a model for healthy social interaction.
