[QUOTE="zatara, post: 657616, member: 5046"] I should add - everything I've posted above applies to when dealing with people in Dublin over the age of say 23ish. The millennial kids currently in uni (aged 18-21) are definitely getting a lot more PC and precious than previous generations. But I'm assuming if you've got kids and are applying for managerial roles you're only going to be dealing with adults (25+ probably) socially or professionally, so you'll be OK. Also to add to Steve McQueen's advice about looking for like minded people, I'd really recommend joining a rugby club to do this. Its a fun game, it'll keep you fit, there are lots of social events, and you'll make male friends rapidly from the team. It'll also give you an excuse to go on a holiday away from the wife once a year on a rugby tour. There are loads of clubs dotted around Dublin, its a very popular sport in the city. Because most players on the teams are middle class males between the ages of 20-35, who're fit, its also probably your best option for making friends with game aware guys. Otherwise you might struggle to meet men of a similar mindset if you're working in IT, as demographics there skew very nerdy. [/QUOTE]
