I like being Irish, but there are some aspects of it that make being Italian pretty attractive. Less “romanticism” about male-female relations, and, paradoxically, a culture where if you’re male, and you get out of practice at complimenting women, you’re not fully functioning. (So they know you’re talking ѕhіt, but it still cheers them up to hear it.)
