Love / Fidelity of Polish women [63]

Right...because there is some myth that Polish women are more loving, honest and ethical than others and it is simply not true. Nor is is true that French or Italian women are less faithful etc. I have met wonderful, caring Polish women and I have met evil slutty ones. It's the same all over the world. Even the cultures who claim to be more 'family' oriented have loads of divorce and cheating going on.

This is not an insult to Polish girls...it is just a statement that they are not somehow more faithful than others. Cheating knows no borders ;)

Life / PAYING TO TAKE A PISS IN POLAND, it's BIZARRE [77]


I have to agree the behavior of male users of public toilets here is less than polite. I feel bad for those old women who have to clean up after these gits. Actually even the free one's in the mall that are not automatic are the same. There must be a flushing aversion. I wonder if they do the same at home?

Love / Fidelity of Polish women [63]


I agree with most of what you wrote except this. Polish girls are no more loyal or disloyal than any others and also no more moral than any other. There are girls who do and girls who don't cheat all over the world. It's about the individual not a culture.

Life / PAYING TO TAKE A PISS IN POLAND, it's BIZARRE [77]


I can see this being an issue in the Warsaw underground etc but as I said I have seen free toilets in plenty of other places I have been outside of Poland and they are not destroyed just like most places don't have armies of security guards in every shop and people are not running out the doors thieving all day long(in fact all I have ever seen 'Ochrona" people do is harass homeless guys once in a while and stand around looking angry). I think it is because it is 'the way we have always done it' coming from the communist days when everyone got a job and lots of things like this were created to justify something.

Life / PAYING TO TAKE A PISS IN POLAND, it's BIZARRE [77]

If you live in a place you learn where the free ones are so you can avoid the extortion. As a tourist it is not as easy. Try Malls, Restaurants and Airports etc for the best chance at free...the train stations and undergrounds in Warsaw at least are all pay. And yeah somehow in places where you don't have to pay the toilets still get cleaned. Public toilets are never sparkly though.

Love / Getting Engaged to Polish girl, asking permission from her dad? [19]

I don't think there is anything wrong with asking for her parent's blessing. Of course I would ask her first and talk about this with her. But the parents will surely respect this gesture.

Hey I like girls butts ok? They are magnificent. I was just trying to encourage more magnificence! And for your information I NEVER whistle at girls...that is not polite. I prefer to stare with my tongue hanging out :)

Oh butt they are all works of art and should be displayed proudly for the world to see.

Why doesnt this surprise me coming from a guy with abs in his avatar. You need to get 'vanity' tattooed on your forehead dude.

News / WAŁĘSA'S LATEST BOOK [7]

Wow. I wasn't aware of the allegations until I looked into it more. I was also surprised at this reluctance to release the names of the collaborators from the secret police archives. I guess you dont want someone's innocent family being attacked but if some of those people are still around (and a lot are and not that old) they should be held accountable.

If Walesa is guilty that will be a huge blow to Polish history. How will people reconcile Solidarnosc and the change he led with any collaboration he may have done?

I have a feeling this is one of those things that will never be answered fully and clearly.

News / should I convert all my dollars into PLN? [7]

It seems your priority is to make your PLN count for as much USD as possible for when you leave. I have the opposite idea. I want my USD to equal more PLN so when I need to use it here I get more out of it. If I was planning to go home very soon I would be on your line of thought.

I guess if I wanted the most USD for my PLN I might cash out now. It seems it will go up. And...if it starts dropping just put it back. Once again when it started climbing I didn't believe it would keep going. I was just afraid if i made any mig moves then it would reverse and undo or lose for me.

As was said it is a gamble.

News / should I convert all my dollars into PLN? [7]

I faced this in the opposite direction a while back. I didn't change and would have made a bunch if I did...but now it is swinging back the other way and I would have to change again.

I never know what is the best choice. I kept thinking back then it was temporary and never imagined it going to nearly 2 so I kept waiting for the rebound...it took a LOT longer than I thought but my hopes are it will go above what it was when I came and I will make it up.

All tight all the time in Warsaw. This seems like a bizzarro world opposite post.

Life / Best Sat Nav devices for use in Poland [41]

I see Garmins, TomToms and all the other brands in the adverts all the time with Polish menu and 37 EU countries listed as features. I have played with a few at Saturn and they seem to have everything you would need. I can only imagine that 'maybe' if you bought 'some' of them outside of PL the language might not be in there but some models for sure have many language options.

Life / GAY PARADE IN WARSAW, PL [87]


It is a double standard all men will admit. I think its the same for women..no women want to watch men kiss but some like to watch women kiss. Women are just more interesting to watch in general :)

Life / GAY PARADE IN WARSAW, PL [87]

Why is that so offensive to you? If it was a guy and girl kissing nobody would say anything. I prefer not to see anyone making out in public but this one sided approval is sad.

Life / Do some folks have no shame? Krakow experience. [43]

I have seen this twice in Warsaw...once an old homeless guy and once a young drunk guy...in public with a lot of people around...crazy! And they were not covered you could see the "loaf" being baked in full view.

Life / Polish people start families at early age-how true is this? [20]

I didn't say we all WERE dirty old men.

I have good hygiene...and shave my face generally and my armpits to reference another thread ;) and not THAT old but life is hard on a guy too ;( Women can't take all the pity.

Life / Polish people start families at early age-how true is this? [20]

We men don't have it easy either...there comes a point when we just look like dirty old men no matter how sweet our intentions. If we are not married before we get too old we are labeled as well.

Life / Polish people start families at early age-how true is this? [20]

Even a lot of Warsaw city girls feel that if they aren't hooked up by 25 they are in trouble. I have heard it commonly. I guess it is true that the older you get the less options you have as more and more of your peers will be married etc.

Language / My Learning Polish Woes... [64]

Actually they do...but I agree I think this kind of language anyplace is stupid and makes you sound like an idiot.

What is the deal with all of the people following a GPS into bad spots? Don't they look out the windshield?

It would be funny if it happened once in a blue moon but it is so common. Jesus.

Who said this? How ignorant.

Am I the only one who thinks it isn't so nice to talk to a lady about such things in such terms? In public I should say, as I know that sounds a bit hypocritical to my live and let live sexual policy.

You can find 'studies' to support any opinion you want. People worry too much about these things.
