Hes a old man who lives in rural ireland no one is going "ah howeya Willie I'm looking for a girl into clamps and cutting. Update me when you have a match." It would be normal stuff
People who want creepy and fetishy stuff go on the internet, it is when they are done with casual kinky sex and want to have a lasting relation they go to this dude.
not really something that makes people stupid trust me a lot of other things do, I only know this because my grandmother is from Ireland and horseback rider. honestly unless you're discussing horseback riding which not a lot of people do....
"I started out picky but wasted alot of years on that so now I'm bordering on desperation and I'll take all the luck a 160 year old book and a man almost as old have to offer."
ireland is a beautifull country with beautifull people with it's history nature etc but, this man gave me another reason to love it.i hope someday i'll gonna travel there.
That's it! Now I know ... To find a husband - Go to Ireland, meet this man, touch his book, hold hands with a stranger and have a drink = get married. 😍 😂. So much better than internet dating! 😄
Bless your heart, Willie. You're able to connect hearts because your heart is as big and as green as the fields of County Clare. What you do and who you are makes me so proud to be Irish. :)
Oh my god this is so Irish. Reminds me to all the Irish Songs I used to listen to. When he started playing wild rover I was so surprised. I’m like 5th generation Irish but it’s still very alive
Irish rural places, Europe's rural places look so beautiful and quiet that it makes me wonder why on earth would anyone wanna leave them in the first place!
Usually no work plus very limited social circles. It gets a bit tedious when your family isn't talking to the one on the other side of the village due to an argument that your respective grandparents had over a pasture half a century ago.
@Great Big Story, Could you please make the subtitles optional? I like to use your videos for some listening practice for my students. If there are subtitles, it becomes too easy for them to understand. Please consider making them optional. Thanks.
Imagine all the creepy and fetishy stuff he must hear all the time. I couldn't keep it up myself
Liam-Ethan Wallis honestly...same

"Just got a call, she wants someone with sonic feet"
I doubt you could get creepier than that first request...ewwwwww

Despite the staaggering popularity of Matchmaking apps. None of them gets the beauty and warmth of a traditional matchmaking.
Totally agreed
Mulan
So basically his matchmaking technique:
"Hold hands, and drink until you look attractive to each other"
Brilliant
Ireland only had a population of 85 until Willie came along, thanks Willie, I'm alive because of you or at the very least because of another Willie
The reason why I'm alive is because of my dad's Willie.
everyone is alive because of a willie ;p
This is a high-quality comment.
*Quality humour* 👌
I love how it says Hobbies: Sex Fishing Golf and Riding (Horse) at 1:36 The Irish are straight forward I guess
yeah .. lol the "(horse)" part really cute.. as if we know anything else that can be riding of XD
@@nhanat riding in Ireland is slang for sex, the clarification was needed haha
I noticed that too! 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 That shows how un-educated some people are in this country
not really something that makes people stupid trust me a lot of other things do, I only know this because my grandmother is from Ireland and horseback rider. honestly unless you're discussing horseback riding which not a lot of people do....

Amanda McLellan 😂

He's not a miracle worker pal
cob1 mob2 that was cold dude
Don’t. It’s not worth it.
Don't listen to these old geezers in this thread, you will find someone!
Sorry but marriage isn't worth it people should stop romanticizing it. I'm divorced btw
'open-minded' 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is that code for 'pls just send someone'
😂😂😂 *LOL*
My standards:
- Have a beating heart 💓
- That's it.
If it is I'd be the most open minded person filling that form
"I started out picky but wasted alot of years on that so now I'm bordering on desperation and I'll take all the luck a 160 year old book and a man almost as old have to offer."
3:10 YAY I'm glad that she's going to keep the tradition going for future generations!😊💝💞
We must protect this man from conor mcgregor
Is there something I don't know about this?
Cæke McGregor punched an old man at a bar recently because he didn’t want to try his whiskey.
Yes! I still haven’t found my Irishman yet

Ferg0 Riding has another meaning in Ireland 😉

Thank you Great Big Stories. There is nothing but depressing stuff on the media. Really happy you guys make these vids!
One of my favorite UA-cam channels making a video in my country! Been waiting for this one for a while :)
Irish matchmaking: get'em boozy & handsy
Bless your heart, Willie. You're able to connect hearts because your heart is as big and as green as the fields of County Clare. What you do and who you are makes me so proud to be Irish. :)
First the Blarney Stone, now this Book; those Irish never ceases to surprise me. But if it works... LET ME TOUCH IT!!!
Bless this man and every little bit of good he does for so many out there. May he live on forever in the hearts of those he brought together. ^=^
This is a lovely story, Thank You. Ireland is o fine❤️☮️🇨🇦

Proud to say I met willie in 2013. Me and my cousin spend 4 days solid on the beer in lisdonvarna.. best place on earth by far.

I got an add for “Great Big Story” before watching this Great Big Story video... hmmm
The festival also includes a matching making event for LGBT people as well
Why are Irish people so nice!
I NEED to meet this man 😭
This is the noblest job to want other people to be happy. I"m a romantic .
When i read the title, I actually thought he made matches, like the type for lighting fires. And brought couples together as a side hussle.
Well you're almost right. Some of the relationships have been very firey
His accent is absolutely darling.
Awesome story
3:04 :
Welp I guess my Discord relationship is over

I got a great big story ad on a great big story video
Great story and great tradition. Keep it as long as we can!
Literally got a Great Big Story ad before the video
Who else got a Great Big Story ad right at the start?
Nobody's Everything you to???
Me too... at the start and at the end of the video
Lol i did
He’s a pretty decent singer too! Love Irish folk.
Everything was going good until the narrator tried to pronounce the daughter's name
Other than the video, some of the shots were amazing and beautiful.
The magic book should go on a world tour so more people can touch it and be touched by its magic!
Good for him!
I seriously need his help!
Hey anna

I read Matchmaker as Watchmaker and was super confused for the first thirty seconds 🙈

When I first saw the title I accidentally read it without the word "connections"... Nice
At 2:31 does it say many nice Donkeys? 😂
