“Most Irish men tend to be rather bony and ugly looking!” Damn girl was very harsh like
They were very forthcoming in fairness. If you ever asked the lads from Reeling in the Years the same question about women you’d be likely to get a muffled “ah sure I wouldn’t know anything about that sort of thing now” response while they desperately avoided eye contact.
How many times is this going to be posted? Really need a repost bot on this sub.
Where did that accent go?
The girl at the end was a massive flirt. A bit like myself at times.
She described her ideal man and then explained to the guy carrying out the interviews, “a bit like you”!
Great lass!
Great piece. The interviewer, Cathal Shannon, was a charming, disarming but intelligent individual who clearly had the trust of the ladies being interviewed. Crikey, all of the ladies were so articulate and self-assured. Different times.
I quite like that accent
Irish men being attractive is one of the reasons why I’m on this sub anyways.
Wow…the Dublin accent has changed _a lot_
The women of the 60s don’t seem to like fellas with muscles at all…I wonder if the fear of the time was physical domestic abuse 🤔
Still an issue of course, but I’d have to imagine much more prevalent then.
They all sound incredibly posh except for the second girl who likes men who can sing and play music.
Women always say they don’t like a guy that’s too muscley but honestly I feel like it’s nearly impossible to get “too muscular” without steroids.
My mam sent us to elocution lessons when we lived in kimmage so we wouldn’t sound ‘common’ I spoke like this when we lived in Rathfarnham in the 70s most of our neighbours did too
Dublin was full of gigantic muscle men back in the 60’s apparently
The liars! Manual labour created strong lads back in the 60s. Unless these girls were seeking out townie office boys and musician types. I don’t know any woman who would pass up the chance to be picked up like a princess. Requires some muscle! Give me a man with hands that could pick up a cement building block in each hand. Rolls his shirt sleeves up to show off his forearms. A lad who will twirl and dip me on a dance floor!
They really weren’t a fan of the muscles!
I would love to see what that “Apollo gym” would have been like
This basically consisted of Be tall, I like Music,be tall, be tall, fuck muscles, be tall
What people wanted: “Big swinging ballax in him”
What people got: “Great character, no muscles, great with the ‘oul music”
Don’t listen to them brahs get big we all gonna make it 💪💪

Loving the “West Brit” accents 😏
Here’s this post from two weeks ago https://www.reddit.com/r/ireland/comments/tve78n
and from Saturday

if anyone wants to read the same comments in both of those places too
They’re all speaking with their phone voices!
A few of these girls sounded British. Interesting that the British accent was posh to us. Sounding like our oppressors.
It’s interesting how anti muscle they were. William Shanter was pretty much as fit as movie stars got back then: https://www.quora.com/Why-did-William-Shatner-often-take-off-his-shirt-and-show-off-his-love-handles-on-Star-Trek. I doubt they’re talking about people like him, do they mean the sort of fat, powerlifting body or whatever steroid users were around back then?
