Life / Warnings about Life in Poland [71]

My god...this place is so full of ****. Poland friendly? :\

ok, poles on the street aren't particularly friendly, but as soon as you are in any closer situation that ends up with you all sitting round a table, they are. in my experience. very. maybe they just didn't like you? ; )

and as for the rapists, well, Poland is a highly sexed place with a dodgy view of women and porn on the telly any time of the day, plus an alcohol problem, so i guess yes, there might be 'loads' of them.

Would I go off trekking on my own in unknown country in Poland? NO. True. It isn't the Lake District.

Life / Warnings about Life in Poland [71]

OK, in my opinion these are the things to be careful about:

If you are in a city, very very drunk guys on the streets sometimes. Avoid them.

Don't walk around in dark unlit streets alone.

DON'T go on late night trams alone.

Don't get so drunk on vodka that you don't know what you're doing.

Don't suddenly strike up friendships with total strangers and go and sleep in their house.

Be vaguely wary of some taxi drivers. If they are driving really badly, ask to get out earlier because you've seen a shop you want to go to, or something.

Polish police - scary, carry guns and aren't renowned for their total straightness ... although they are usually nice to women.

Also, carry some ID all the time. You can get stopped and asked for it.

Basically Poland is a cool, generally friendly, civilised place. If in doubt, don't go out after dark!

Very good with women, what is this drivel? What on earth does that mean and where's the evidence?

I'm afraid it isn't drivel ... in my experience. Which is not insubstantial. : )

They are good at making direct sexual contact with a woman, in a way that for some reason would be embarrassing should an English man do it. I can't speak for the Irish, though ...

Oh, and they know when it is useful and important to be helpful (with the rubbish, shopping, etc.). And they kiss hands. Always works.

My considered opinion: Polish men in general are very highly sexed, and very good with women, if they choose to be. Having said that, there is nothing in yr description of what happened that makes me think he thinks you're special, I'm afraid. He might do, but he also might just be being pleasant in a mutually-pleasing encounter.

You will have to see if he calls you. But everyone is right: if you want to keep him, don't sleep with him again for a while! (you should have made him work for it ...)

Love / Do Polish guys think getting physically violent with a woman is OK? [40]

I am beginning to wonder whether it is more accepted among Polish male culture that being provoked into hitting or otherwise being overly physical with a woman is somehow ... excusable/acceptable in certain situations.

I don't by ANY means want to suggest that all Polish guys think like this, or indeed that any of you reading do .. but whereas I think to an English guy any kind of physical domination of a woman is considered completely wrong, I get the impression that there is a sub-current of opinion among Poles that in some situations it's pretty much the only option, or certainly an 'understandable' one.

Thoughts please ...
