Very good with women, what is this drivel? What on earth does that mean and where's the evidence?
I'm afraid it isn't drivel ... in my experience. Which is not insubstantial. : )
They are good at making direct sexual contact with a woman, in a way that for some reason would be embarrassing should an English man do it. I can't speak for the Irish, though ...
Oh, and they know when it is useful and important to be helpful (with the rubbish, shopping, etc.). And they kiss hands. Always works.
