Well, to be fair, they're not ALL bad. However, the vast majority are somewhat un-dateable. To amend this, I think we would have to go back in time to when they were all born and throw them into some sort of sensitivity/anti-pighead boot-camp and refuse to release them unto the world until they have proven what their potential worth in society may be, by means of some elaborate, month-long festival, during which they are subject to all the **** that women have been putting up with for years and years. If they manage to maintain their grace and composure throughout this treatment (as women do on a daily basis) then they may leave and be acknowledged and recognised as 'dateable'.

Aussie men are definately dateable maybe you just haven't found the right one! Not all of them wear stubbie shorts and singlets. (though i don't mind looking at the ones that look great in a pair of jeans) So what if most Aussie blokes like to go to the pub, so do I. What's wrong with women going to a pub? (You do realise that there are some decent pubs to go to, and can be a great place to eat!) But at the end of the day the choice is yours, You need to find the one for you, weather he is an aussie or not! You have to find someone you want to date. If you don't like the stereotypical aussie guy then steer clear of them but like any man where ever he may be in the world, if you look hard enough you might just find a diamond in the rough. If he is the right one he's nationality should have nothing to do with it!

As an Aussie woman, i wish i could help you... but the truth is, my first boyfriend was French, my ex husband is German, the men I dated after my marriage were Dutch, Danish, German, American, English and Polynesian. Then I met the love of my life, and no, he's not Aussie either, he's Slavic! I dont know if there is a way to make Aussie men more dateable as I havent acutally dated any... apparently they are unromantic, three minute lovers who will choose footbal and beer over quality time with the missus any day but like I said, I cant comment from personal experience. One thing I can tell you is that Aussie men are genuine, straight up, hard working types who will generally give you the shirt off their backs. They value mateship and family, a fair go and are always there when you need someone to count on. I know this because some of my dearest friends are Aussie men. My brothers are Aussie men, as is my father and the partners and husbands of my best friends. Aussie men have their shortcomings just like everyone else - but they also have many, many great qualities too... and if chucking back a carton of VB or XXXX with your mates after you wax the Monaro (or XR8) while waiting for the AFL, NRL or V8 Supercars to get through its tedious preliminary shite-waffle on any given sunday is a crime, then bloody hell, just blame it on our convict genes so we can all get back to getting pissed and watching sport already!

Yeah maybe if u take away the fact that most of them r chauvinistic pigs, lmao! No, jokes! I love Aussie men. Most of them r very dateable. I never used to like the accent because I'm a Kiwi and I hate the Kiwi accent. The accents r similar but the Aussie one is softer and lighter, whereas the kiwi is kinda guttural and hard, but now that I live in Australia I've grown to love the accent! Most Aussie men r gorgeous!

I'm an Aussie and I hate sport. I consider myself well read and very educated. Not to mention erudite and urbane.

I would have thought that one who writes professionally about the subject matter your question is pertaining to, ought to know better than to make sweeping generalisations.

How would you like it if I dismissed you just because you're a female or the fact that you're too young to know anything of any import. Ordinarily this would be true as a generalisation but I don't know you and therefore you may be the exception to the rule.

I'd thankyou to extend me the same courtesy. There are a lots of very good Aussie men and some dorks too, just like anywhere else.

Be sure of your facts before you come on here breathing fire.

Jules, Australia.

I'm an Aussie girl with an Aussie guy. He's very dateable. He watches our kids so I can get out, he gives me back rubs when I'm sore and tired, he buys me things that he knows I will like just to make me happy, he talks about 'us' when we need to ....... I could go on. What part of the Aussie man do you find undateable?
I think Aussie guys are great.

The first thing that women need to do in order to get a date with an Australian Man is to stop being so pretentious and affectations, it doesn't impress anybody other than those of the same sorry ilk. Try being even a little bit interested in what He likes. Don't tell Him what He should be thinking, doing or even how He should be living His own life. Remember, You are the one who is encroaching upon His lifestyle and entering His environment. Don't tell Men that They must respect You as a woman, earn Their respect as a person (if You are not able to do that then there is something wrong with You).
Life is not a television show,nor a magazine article, and yet the "modern" woman does not seem to be able to differentiate between reality and that comic opera some think of as The Perfect Relationship".
If all else fails,and it probably will due to Your actions, try being NATURAL (and I don't mean like the "natural" color of Your hair). Be the person He wants to take out, rather than some female on the prowl for a free night out. Try it, who knows, You might even surprise Yourself as to just how easy it is to be a nice person, and not just another date.

Dateable as in apperance and demenor? or wanting to go out more often on a date?

I like Men to be clean and smell nice. The hot Aussie sun makes them smell pretty quickly! I also want a man that likes spending time with their family on weekends, and is proud to be seen in public with me.

Unfortunately, most Aussie men are hard workers and hard drinkers, and all they wanna do when they get home is eat, drink beer, screw and sleep.

In Canberra, men prefer to be single and get hooked up for a fling on the weekend.

I think Australian men are just brought up in a certain way that makes them the way they are. I'm Australian and my boyfriend is Australian as well and although he is bogan to the bone he still knows how to do the right thing when it comes to treating me right. He knows when to get dressed up when the occasion calls for it, he takes me to nice restaurants because he appreciates good food, he treats me well and would never do anything to hurt me. Then on the other hand when he isn't around me and is hanging around with his mates, he is such a yobbo and is into sports, motorbikes and being a real dick, not the kind of person who I would be attracted to at all, but he is versatile so I think thats a good thing, he can adapt to any environment and although sometimes I cringe when we go out and he says or does something when it isn't the right place or time, I love him and thats all that really matters at the end of the day.

Even though we 'aussie girls' think that our men are dateable, I still think that aussie men need to take pride in their personal appearances. Some men need to understand that their personal body odour is not a new 'perfume line'.

there is nothing wrong with aussie men. Its like any other country, you have your un-dateables who you wouldn't go out with in a million years, but you also have alot of great guys. My husband is one, he is thoughtful, kind, generous, still buys me flowers after three years of marriage and to top it all off he is a fantastic father. Why do you think aussie men aren't dateable?
