Love / Polish Girlfriend obsessive and not trusting [59]


Hallo, Michal!
Yes, my husband does have a bank account. I owe 3 dogs, 3 sheep, my clothes and myself. AND I am not a religious person, so I have no inhibition to divorce, I would not mind accumulating some wealth, either... Sadly, Austria is not a country for biochemists and as a dog trainer I don't earn much. One question - you wrote "all you Poles" being Polish yourself? Why that?

@all
Thank you for suggestions on improving my English! It got very rusty with time...

Hi, Justysia!
I am afraid that there are more of deeply disappointed, grumpy old men around. I don't know, why some think that Polish women are ugly, illogical, clinging and possesive. I mean, there are SOME like that certainly, but why generalize? Why do you, guys, fall in love with Polish girls/women in the first place? Obviously there are some qualities you cannot find in other nations.

I can tell you something - first of all, Polish women are proud. Then, when they love, it is not "a bit", it is absolutely. This is why they want to share as much as possible in their lives with a man they choose. Who does not understand this need is not worth the bother.

"but still you hear a of frickin moaners on here who can't just tell the truth... there seems to be a quality about these girls, and it looks like you moaners just miss your exes... bitter..."

Yeah... Very true. I am 50, Polish, female and married since 17 years with a foreigner, who is 10 years younger. I did consider divorce a couple of times, but my better half managed to prevent it. Ask yourself, guys, why?

Life / Local Poles taking advantage of foreigners living in Poland [235]

@jones101
This is exactly why I wrote - I do agree that your postings are very much OK. I agree with you, but not with my country people. Didn't I mention we like to quarrel?...

Jokes aside, I am sorry that you have collected some really nasty experience. I don't remember Poland so bad, but then I visited lately just for a short time and I am a native. Nobody would dare to push me around.

One advice: whatever happens, stay polite and distant, most of worst "elements" give up. And some others give in, I shocked my family making a taxi driver to carry my suitacases upstrairs - the trick was that I simply EXPECTED it. I was actually surprised that it is not normal in Warsaw...

Better luck for the future

Oh, boy!
I am reading and wondering, where the heck all of you came from?! I have spent 33 years in Poland, 17 in Austria plus travelled a bit. I did not see one country, where people are not rude, pushy, incompetent and disliking strangers. You can find it everywhere - why is it a surprise to find it in Poland? Frankly, I miss Poland a lot, with all the troubles in every day life it is still my country with the most friendly people!

Yeah, we Poles quarrel, drive like idiots and simply LOVE to complain. We also like to drink and to chat, and to gossip, just like normal people do. It does not make us any different than other nationalities, what differs is that we have a lot of complexes and we are more open than most.

Life / Do Polish people tend to stick together? [49]

My own experience made me wary of Polish people I meet in Austria. Why?
Oh, well, there are several reasons. At the beginning I missed Polish language and Polish mentality, so whenever I have heared Polish spoken in the shop/on the street I used to greet people and chat a bit. The reactions were very awkward, so I stopped. Then there were Poles, who were introduced to me by Austrians, whoa! This was a bunch. They did seek contact with me because they needed *something* like money, job, help, place to live, etc., etc. Once I lent some money to a guy, who never showed up again, once I paid train ticket to Poland and on several occasions I spent hours till days on interpreting, calling and so on.

Now, when I hear Polish I cross the street and make a big arch. Sorry, I think that I am used up.

Love / From a Turkish Man! What I heard about Polish girls from my friends :) [53]

Hi, guys!
I am happy to read so many compliments about Polish women. I suppose that there are two differences as compared to the females in other countries:

1. Polish women can really dress and do take care of themselves!
2. They are self confident and see themselves not dependent on men.
It shows.
Best regards,

Hallo, Hueg!
Happy to meet you, at least on-line. When did you leave and where are you now?

Congratulations, you have done a perfect job!
Depending on the context you could use this variant as well:
