Travel / Airline ticket sales to Warsaw increase exponentially [16]

From the new warsaw Express

The majority of Warsaw’s female population
are single, according to an
Acxiom Polska poll: 56 percent of women
living in Warsaw between 20 and 40 are not
currently married. The news is surprising as
Poland is generally considered a rather
conservative and religious country, and
Warsaw hosts more men, with 89 women to
100 men in the capital.
The “average” single female in the capital
is likely to hold a B.A of M.A. degree,
pursue a career, and watch TV shows about
young and hip single women, like Ally
McBeal or Magda M., and be optimistic
about her romantic future.
Lifestyles have changed significantly, as
singles are more likely to spend money on
consumer goods and travelling, the report
says, though it would be a generalisation to
present all unmarried women as happy with
their status. Complaints about “the quality
of men” occur as often as comments that
singledom has many advantages. Although
such outward declarations are scarce, it is
claimed that one of the drivers behind the
current emigration trend is the hope of finding
a romantic partner abroad.
Social psychologist Dariusz Doliñski
suggests that being single for a long time
could result in later difficulty in entering
a relationship. It could also negatively influence
one’s self esteem, as not practising
flirting breaks the habit, thus making it
more difficult to effectively seduce possible
partners later.
