Tal vez yo no estoy para estas cosas... Pero, ¿cómo se pueden resistir los verbos irregulares?? ¿en qué sentido??

Robin - what on Earth are you talking about? Give us some context.

[ROBINDESBOIS]

It´s a colloquial expression meaning they are too hard for me, I can´t learn them. It´s very widely used in Spain.

Some clarification might be needed...

"Resistírsele algo a alguien" is a figurative use of "resistirse", meaning that someone has a difficult access to something, as if one were talking about the will of that something to stay away from the person who wants to approach it.

Las matemáticas se me resisten. -> I find it hard to learn mathematics.
La gramática se me resiste. -> I find grammar hard to learn.


@Robin: Try to always provide full explanations and examples, so people can actually know what you're asking about.

Ah - in that case also something like

Irregular verbs are beyond me
Differential calculus is beyond me

In your OP, I understood it as a specific quality of irregular verbs, not a general quality of something being difficult.
