Love / ARE POLES ROMANTICS?? [36]

we can agree to mostly disagree.

I don't actually disagree with your choices, I only disagree with they way you talk about other people, simply because they're dating.

And don't stereotype me as a Chrsitian prude, because I think you are trying to do that in some sense.

Not really, and I think I could tell you the exact same thing about stereotyping liberal thinking Western Europeans?

I still have fairly good morals and still feel things.

So do most of the people you were talking about.

Don't emotions and feelings separate us from the animals?

Yes, ofcourse our feelings and emotions seperate us from the animals, and that's probably what makes this subject a little too complicated sometimes..

ARIEN- you are something else, you know that? And kind of an a s s .

I'm just being brutally honest.

I don't have time to be specific because I'm visiting family right now, but a lot of what you write is what's wrong with modern day society.

Hey, call it wrong all you want, but I'm only trying to tell you that there's nothing wrong with having relationships through puberty and life as a whole. Not everyone in life is happily married. (But don't worry, you'll find out sooner or later that no one's perfect!) I'm trying to tell you that it has always been, and always will be human nature, and that it has always been like that.

There's absolutely nothing modern about anything I'm telling you.

Sounds like you are the typical sleaze at the bars? :) Kidding!

I'm sorry to disappoint you.

Anyways buddy, I don't wanna f girls that are f-ing other guys! If that makes me conervative than so be it! Not my taste (no pun intended)

I'm simply telling you that some people aren't possessive, aren't jealous, aren't conservative and really don't mind sexual freedom. (Ofcourse there are good things and bad things about this!) My point is that these people really shouldn't be judged, insulted or even being called a sleaze for any of their genuine feelings in this typical Christian fashion of yours.

So you say you don't want girls who are sleeping with other guys. (Does this include girls who have slept with other guys in the past?) Anyway, I don't mean to upset you, but who says she won't ever cheat on you? Who says she won't ever leave you? Who says she's a virgin? Who says you have to be?

I also have an Austrian roommate with a girl back home, and he says he would never cheat on her.

Me neither.

He seems more conservative and down to earth (but we'll see). He'll be in Canada for a year. I thinks it's awesome he's not some sleaze bag who's just travelling abroad to bed other women.

Do you really think that men who bed other women can't ever fall in love? Do you really think they can't ever grow up and decide to settle down with someone they think is truly special? Do you think that people who have been divorced a couple of times can't marry again? Are those people sleazebags too?

See, that's romantic!

I agree, it is.

Anyways, I would love to find out more about other European cultures and how romantic they are in relation to Polish people (I still think the Poles are more romantic than Swedes or Germans).

Well, I'm Dutch, and I'm trying to tell you something about people, and about how I see certain things, and I'm really trying to do so with as less insults as possible. (I try to respect people with different opinions, but I'm free to disagree with someone if I think I have a good reason and tell them why exactly.) So I hope this is an interesting read for you. However, this still doesn't mean every Dutch guy thinks like me. And guess what? The same goes for German and Swedish people.

If anyone has any experience that is. For example, the Italians are stereotyped as being romantics.

Berlusconi?

Merry Chrsitmas everyone! And dont' fight. Wesołych Świąt.

You too. Wesołych Świąt Bożego Narodzenia!

Love / ARE POLES ROMANTICS?? [36]

You are the one who read wrong. He didn't say that people who date are against family.

Oh really?

I've learned that they are your stereotypically liberal thinking Western Europeans- mostly after casual sexual relationships and anti-family.

I know how some Christians tend to go around the bush like that, but ofcourse here you can see for yourself how he mentions liberal thinking, and even though liberal thinking doesn't have anything to do with sexual activity whatsoever, he manages to attach this way of thinking to having casual sexual relationships anyway, idiotically connecting a word like anti-family to this sentence. Preposterous really.

Do you need glasses?

Are you Moroccan?

Do I look like a Moroccan? (Yup, I'm 100% sure you need glasses!)

:)

Yes,polish married women need some refresh from time to time.

I actually wouldn't have any problems with that, if only I knew they were completely honest about it to their own partners. Such women should either tell their husbands that they're wild things who really feel the need to swing from time to time, or tell them how they wished they were single again. A lot of men cheat aswell, and I'm just wondering why so many people still lie about such things in this day and age.

We've had sexual liberation you know.. I'm just saying that it's better to be brutally honest about yourself and your feelings before you get into a serious relationship with someone, than to be brutally honest about yourself and your feelings after you've made eachother a promise.

I do realize this way of thinking would be too much to take for most people, but it would definitely be a more honest approach.

Not really, no. I know plenty of people who simply wouldn't care about such things.

Hello Everyone,

Hello.

I live in Toronto and have had the "pleasure" of getting to know two Germans (male and female) and a Swede (female).

Well, you don't have to socialize with people you dislike?

Anyways after hanging out with them on a few occasions I've learned that they are your stereotypically liberal thinking Western Europeans- mostly after casual sexual relationships and anti-family.

Listen, casual dating doesn't make you anti-family all of a sudden. It does make you a sexually active person. Seriously, people have always been like that, and there's not much wrong with that, unless you keep telling yourself everything is wrong with that.

It's nature way, because some women can't get pregnant, and for other women it takes quite a few times before they get pregnant aswell. Oh, and ofcourse some guys are infertile too.

Being raised Polish in Canada, I feel like I've had a greater sense of family values instilled in me- and I am proud of that.

How do you know you have a greater sense of family values instilled in you? Do you honestly believes you're a better father than someone else simply because you have a certain religion? Do you think you're a better father because you have little to no experience with different women? What if she will cheat on you? Will you forgive her? Divorce? Or kill her?

If you have more experience with dating and relationships, you'll get in touch with your human nature yourself, and it won't be as much as a shock to you if, or when you find out about such things. You should keep in mind no one's perfect, and that about 60% of all the men and women cheat sometimes. And yes, this includes Christians.

Also the two Germans and Swede do not seem to identify with Christianity (this does not surprise me).

Why should they? Oh, and I've got news for you, there are a lot of people who don't really identify with Christianity anymore, but ofcourse a lot of people still pretend like they do in certain regions and communities.

The German guy said that Germans do not really date. I found this hard to understand.

Me too, because they obviously do date. I've had a holiday romance with a German girl in Lloret de Marr once, and we got along really well in those three weeks. Ofcourse I've lost all contact with her, but hey, I get to keep the memories!

Some of the Poles I've known in Canada seem to to much more pro family and not so cold.

I've met a few Polish women who were married, and they wanted to come home with me, and I kept asking them about that ring they were wearing. You know what they did? They smiled, and shrugged their shoulders! They didn't care about their marriage. I didn't touch them. (Some of them don't wear their ring, and they won't tell you, so you can't blame me when that happens!) I believe that if you're married you've made a choice and a promise to someone else, and someone else trusts you with that promise, so you shouldn't do those things anymore, unless the two of you are having what they call an open relationship, or an open marriage.

So I would like to know if Poles in Poland are still the pro-family, romantic types? I would think for the most part they are. But I'm not joking when I say this- after meeting the Germans and Swede, I am not attracted to these kinds of cultures and people, if this is the norm that is. But I have read that the Germans are cold like this :)

You've read wrong. People aren't cold because they date. I know a woman who lives just a few houses away. She had five marriages, and now she says she treasures her children, and enjoys her life. Is it her fault these guys ran off? Is she better off than someone who dates casually?

Rychlik, morals and sex are two different things, and having sex doesn't make you a cold person. Sex and romance often go hand in hand, but true love is so much different, and so much deeper if the feeling's mutual.

I know it would treasure it if I ever found it with someone, but for as long as I'm single, I'm just going to be brutally honest with everyone. I'm a young man, and I can see there are a lot of beautiful women out there. I'm not making anyone pregnant, I'm not running away for my responsibilities, and I'm not pretending anymore, like so many others still are. Do whatever makes you happy, but please don't try to tell me that someone is a cold person, or morally wrong, simply because he or she dates.

You can find true love after many dates, and you can find true love as a virgin, but it all depends on who you find. You can be a good mother when you really feel you're ready to be one, and you can be a good father when you really feel you're ready to be one. (It's just the simple truth!)

I won't lie, a broken heart isn't funny, and a broken heart can really hurt you sometimes, but it usually starts with what you're telling yourself. The more you expect from people around you, the harder people will let you down. The more you believe in fairytales, the uglier reality becomes. Just be you, and let someone else be the same. I respect your vieuws, and I won't tell you to see things my way, but I won't respect your lies about Germans and Swedish people. You say they're cold people, but the truth is that you don't know all of these people personally.

Love / Are expensive gifts offensive to polish guys? [30]

Where would that be? (North Holland over here!) I think I would absolutely love to be able to buy a house for 150.000 €, because I'm not really concerned with all the status and showing off..

:)

I'd rather go on a holiday a little more often!

I'm not overexaggerating, this is what most houses will cost you in my region. (Maybe even more!) And could you please elaborate as to why I should be living in a parallel universe? (There's nothing surreal about anything I've said in my previous postings I'm afraid.)

Just another few houses in my parallel universe!

Enjoy!

Thank you all, I feel better :-)...

Oh dear, just give him whatever you want to give him? I'm sure he'll know it's from a good heart!

Yeah, but here it isn't. The average house here is 300.000 € Okay? So you might think we're all spoiled and rich, but reality is that we may earn more, but also have to spend a lot more..

;)

Suffice it to say, I'm not sorry.

Okay, well, I'd consider it pretty normal. (I gave a homeless dude 50 € a few months ago because I didn't have anything smaller on me, and I didn't know him either!) Maybe it's different in Poland, but I don't really see how this would damage the average working guy's wallet too much?

You should do what you want, and give people whatever you want to give them, but it's pretty considerate of you to ask about such things.

especiall if they couldn't afford to buy her something precious in return.

I agree, this is perhaps the most important part, it may make a guy feel like he's a loser. (It's not because he gets an expensive gift from a woman, but because he can't afford something *that* expensive.) But if he's a wealthy guy, and you're certain he'd be able to return the favour if he wanted to, I don't see why you shouldn't?

I guess it would be awkward for anybody to receive an expensive gift from someone not related to them?

I guess it all depends on the financial backgrounds of the persons we're talking about? I mean, my idea of expensive might be totally different from your idea of expensive..

No, not at all. But if I were you, I wouldn't give him something that he could never afford to give you. (Some guys can be insecure like that!)

Life / What should I name my female child? [44]

What does the mother of the child want to name her? She gave birth to her and was with her all this time, the decission of naming her should go to her.

Honey, don't you think that if a guy and a girl truly love eachother, and really have a sense of respect for eachother, that the two of them should be happy to explore all possible options together, and agree to a name they both think is beautiful?

:)

I also don't like when people name their children after their dead relatives. Why? This is a fresh, new person not gramma or aunt or someone else in the family that died.

Me neither, I think it's creepy. (See? We agree sometimes!)

Feedback / LIKE / DISLIKE button - A suggestion to Admin and Moderators [29]

Oh, and to expand a little on my previous posting.. Just a simple question, how many times did you get a poster here who was asking people where to learn Polish? (So if you can offer a cheap, and pretty solid language course in an ebook, then maybe such people won't have to look anywhere else?) I understand you've got quite a few language teachers here on this site..

;)

Nobody really donates so let him make some cash

People donated atleast 625 $.

Want to know how to make some cash? Create an ebook. Make it a Polish language course with audio files. Ask one or two Polish speaking people here to speak a few sentences in Polish, and let them record these as an audio file, and offer everyone who's in about 5% of the profits. Get a copyright and maybe include a few graphics? (Photo thread?)

You only have to create an ebook once, and you can sell it everywhere, anytime, at any price. (No production costs, no distribution costs, and no shipping costs.) 100% profitable.

;)

No, Ariën isn't always stupid.
