Loads of Irish men are signing up to be mail-order husbands on this website

Carl Kinsella

Well, it’s something different.

Irish men love to indulge in the idea that we are viewed the world over as exotic, Celtic gods of love thanks in equal parts to our accents and the false perception created by handsome Hollywood actors like Colin Farrell and Jamie Dornan.

But it turns out there is a market for Irish husbands out there… And we mean a literal market.

RoseBrides.com/irish-men is a mail-order spouse website where many Irish men have signed up to offer their spousal ‘services’ to women (or men) around the globe.

Here’s what the website has to say about us dreamy, Hibernian hunks.

You hear that? “Mostly Catholic country”, “temperatures rarely drop below freezing”, “rain can occur at any time of year.” Ireland is bringing sexy back.

We can’t quite believe this exists either, but the Lithuanian website has over 20,000 users and is totally legit – so if you want to sign up to be a mail-order husband (or want to order yourself a mail-order husband), this is the place for you.
