The main issue/s as I see them are this - you can't understand their accents (I can understand Chinese more easily than I can understand Scottish) and they drink too much. The real problem starts when you put those two things together.
I went out with a Scottish guy and I could barely understand a word he said. As he drank, it got worse. Then he'd get pissed off and say he didn't have an accent and everyone acted like they couldn't understand to piss him off.
Erk!
What attracts women? Is it their kilt? Their sporran? The firey red hair? The aloof and wild head of a clan in a remote place just waiting to be tamed by a woman's touch?
Am I missing something important about Scottish men?
I don't know why I was expecting it, but I was half expecting a huge picture of shirly manson. Cool picture of Gameskeeper Willy though!
ReplyDeleteYeah Shirley Manson is hot, I'll give you that.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of accents, I work with a Scot. He has lived in the states so long his accent is not as thick as it probably was when he got here as a kid. But when he gets worked up you can tell he slips a bit more into it.
ReplyDeleteAnd my sister had this romanticized view of guys with accents, especially Australian. She even wanted to move there at one point to find a hubby. Then one day over coffee she admitted that she was done searching for a hubs with an accent because it would eventually irritate her. I think she is just hard to please. I've never dated anyone with an accent, or rather an accent different than mine, which naturally I don't think I have an accent.
