for the ladies here, and total honesty required!!!!!!

ok how do irish guys rate for you girls versus other countries you have worked in
im not on about endowment or look, more about
+confidence
+performance

my theory for waht its worth is that some irish guys have confidence / self image issues
i dont know why? maybe catholic / church influence/guilt, maybe irish physche

personally i am supremely confident in myself and many areas of life, however i can bequite shy with girls; (one of the reasons i like this place) for some this is attractive and for others its a turn off

example (and be honest we have all done it!)
when irish ppl see a really confident person we usually think,
"would you look at that prick/bitch over there, he/she loves himself/herself!!! he wud eat himself if he could etc etc
whereas in usa and elsewhere its seen as a very positive trait!!
mad, no?

discuss pls
