However firstly, let’s take into account the the explanation why it is best to date a Scotsman…
Why ought to I date a Scotsman?
The Accent
Nearly all of non-Scots love the accent.
I’ve no thought why or how this phenomenon has come about however the quantity of occasions I’ve managed to get out of Yvette’s dangerous books just by quoting Groundskeeper Willie. It could even save me when she reads this later.
We’re a artistic bunch
The Scots have invented, found and composed a large number of groundbreaking issues. Right here’s a couple of attention-grabbing ones thought up by Scottish males.
For the record- Scotland has its justifiable share of brilliantly artistic girls however it could take me all day to checklist all of them.
Music and poetry
I’ve little doubt you may have heard of our nationwide bard, Rabbie Burns. In case you haven’t – get Googling. You’ve probably completed many huge nights out singing “Auld lang syne.” Rumor has it Rabbie was a success with the women too.
Some extra barely up to date bands you could be aware of embrace Biffy Clyro, Primal Scream and the Proclaimers.
For the tremendous up to date try Lewis Capaldi’s Twitter feed. I’m even going to assert AC/DC being that guitarists Angus and Malcolm Younger have been born in Glasgow and lead singer Bon Scot (Bonnie Scotland) was born in Forfar and lived in Kirriemuir. Take that Australians.
We will additionally dance. Scottish males have been training ceilidh dancing since main faculty. A ceilidh is a celebration with conventional Scottish music and dancing, so we will sweep you off your toes, actually. Jog on Travolta.
Expertise
You’ll be able to thank John Logie Baird for inventing the tv and giving the chance to such Scottish movie stars like James McAvoy and Gerard Butler to take the display. May as nicely thank Alexander Graham Bell for inventing the phone when you’re studying this in your cellular too…in all probability.
Drugs
Scottish males have helped uncover a protracted line of drugs we take with no consideration right this moment – penicillin (Sir Alexander Fleming), the hypodermic syringe (Alexander Wooden), and the saline drip (Dr Thomas Latta).

Yvette will argue that comedy is subjective however we’ve bought some sensible comedians and TV exhibits. Frankie Boyle, Billy Connolly and Kevin Bridges are wonderful stand ups’, if not barely offensive to those that are offended by comedians telling jokes.
For TV exhibits I like to recommend testing Nonetheless Sport and Rab C Nesbitt to offer you an thought of our humour.
We reside most of our lives within the chilly and darkish so we’re the very best round at seeing the brilliant facet of life and placing a optimistic spin on conditions, however we’re additionally self-deprecating and can make enjoyable of most issues.
Sure. We put on kilts
On a regular basis. To work, to the fitness center, doing ironing and swimming.
I jest (see I informed you we prefer to make enjoyable of most issues). We most probably put on them to weddings and different particular events.
If we wore them on a regular basis it wouldn’t be as cool. Carrying a kilt in Las Vegas will nonetheless get you a lot of free drinks from scary American navy seals who “swear that’s the coolest rattling factor I’ve ever seen.”
