13 things Irish lads do that make girls cringe
1. Start chatting you up by dropping the phrase “So, where are you from?”
So transparent.
2. Absolutely douse themselves in Lynx/some other strong-smelling body spray
Enough Lynx to knock a horse, to be precise.
3. Say things like, “Do you even lift, bro?”
You’re from Co. Leitrim, bro.
4. Earnestly use hashtags like #gainz or #crossfit on their Instagram photos
*wince*
5. Express amazement at the sight of a girl drinking a pint
It’s 2015.
If you’re still walking around thinking that women only drink wine/spirits and men drink beer, then you need to take a long, hard look at yourself.
6. Mansplain something that you are actually pretty well versed in
Whoops!

Here, we guarantee you’re not going to give us any new insight into the Taylor Swift/Nicki Minaj feud, so don’t even bother.
7. Act like the “big man” when “the lads” are around
When he’s not with the lads: [normal conversation about everyday things]
When he’s with the lads: “WAHEY, C’MERE AND I GIVE YOU A HEADLOCK AND SLAG YOU. #BANTER!”
8. Talk at length about craft beer or rugby or meat in an effort to demonstrate how masculine their interests are
Oh, you like craft beer and ribs? That settles it then — you truly are a MAN.
9. Continue to drink well past the drunkenness
“Hun, you’ve had six pints and I can see that you’re getting a bit sleepy.”
“Nonsense. I will now have my seventh pint.”
