Dude this is not a meet/meat market. People start crap with me for playful or joking flirtation...

Why can I not make a joke? Are jokes that unheard of on this website?

What if he has some incomprehensible East End accent (see: stupid GEICO lizard) or Mancunian accent (see: Liam & Noel Gallagher)? Will the chicks still expect chivalry and/or go ga-ga?

Right. But what if he has a dreamy accent and good looks like Colin Firth? Oh yummy. Then that would be....brilliant!

Granted, you're probably not going to run into a bar and instantly meet 4 smoking bisexual roommates who will instantly take you home, but the bit from Love, Actually wasn't that far off from the truth.

My roommate lived in Ireland for a while and occasionally has had Irish friends meet him back in Chicago. They've always done well for themselves when they're out here.

Completely agree... Mr Darcy IS yummy! He has that quiet intensity. A manliness I don't see from those whiny, befuddled, worrywart, British metrosexual types like Hugh Grant. I tend to think Chicago women (at least my friends) like their men a little rougher around the edges. Like those rugby players, or the futbol players - David Beckham is perfection... Or those rugged Australian men like Hugh Jackman (talk about yummy)... but I digress...

p.s. Some advice - Do not immediately start interrogating American women on U.S.foreign policy when you meet them in a bar. Not saying you'd do this but it happened to me quite often when I traveled in Europe/British isles.

Avoid other British & Australian & Irish people, & then if you solo it you'll strike gold all of the time here but being in a pack of british guys is gunna sink you BIGTIME.

I'm a man.

I just know that because I have clubbed with a British friend here before. Actually he was Australian.

The principle of it is the same!

2-3 % of Brits speak like him.
