Language / Not sure if I will be able to speak Polish [53]

Not sure if I will be able to speak Polish

The same goes for me too. I think I need to take a Polish crasher course before August.
That's when I'll be going to Warsaw, to attend my cousin Kasia's wedding.

Love / Why are Polish girls constantly ill? [166]

if I were a college degreed woman working...there's no way my economic freedom would not be the same as my husband's.

That is my scenario. I have three business degrees and earn a very comfortable living.
A few men I've dated seem a bit intimidated. I'm financially secure and make plenty more money than they do.

I think many women today get ill more often, because we're carrying various loads on our shoulders. Women's responsibilites may include careers, family, schooling, taking care of the household, etc.

Food / Eating Healthy in Poland [18]

It's a Polish tradition to fill guests with as much food as possible. And if the guests say no, the hosts will most likely feel offended.

Oh no, I hope my relatives don't do that to me, when I visit Warswaw during the upcoming summer.

Life / Why are Polish people so ruthless? [87]

How come Polish people are in the main, so ungrateful, rude

You're generalizing quite a lot there.

There are various other countries with large numbers of employees here and none of them have done this. India, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Slovakia etc for example.

Try to fall in love with one of them, instead of a Polish woman next time.

Life / Share your Polish Christmas experiences. [20]

they've got these chocolates filled with booze -- good stuff

They're sold in the U.S. too. The chocolates need to be eaten whole. If you bite into the chocolate, the booze drips down your chin. Great for playing a holiday joke on someone. I gave one to my mom once!

Love / Polish Girls rock my world [14]

Im looking for more Polish ppl to hang with I dont want to end up losing my culture.

Nothing wrong with that idea. Try attending some festivals at any Polish churches, located close to your vicinity.

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

Not offensive but could be seen by many as you're trying to "buy" a man

I had the same interpretation as well.

I think it's better to start off with a smaller, less expensive gift. Something given from the heart, such as a handmade item. After all, dynamite comes in small packages!

USA, Canada / Deportation back to Poland for DUI [4]

Deportation cases in California usually pertain to felony cases. A DUI may be considered felony charges under various circumstances, such man slaughter cases, or when a plaintiff experiences severe bodily injuries.

Love / Friendship With a Polish Women [29]

Sometimes she is really happy and nice and sometimes she just seems not intersted and almost cold.

Realistically, she's probably not interested in you. If she were interested, her feelings of happiness would genuinely outweigh her displays of coldness.

Love / Friendship With a Polish Women [29]

Presuming without knowing the facts.

Time for a reality check guy, if you can't accept comments or advice from PF members.

Love / Appreciated presents for polish girls [35]

What do polish girls appreciate the most?

First choice: You're always safe buying your Polish girl some jewelry. Antique jewelry is much prettier and usually more durable. The item doesn't need to be expensive. It can be simple and sweet.

Second choice: Gift card to her favorite store. That way she can purchase something, she may already have her eye on.

Life / Please help me find this Polish song (moja droga ja Cie kocham)! [16]

Yes, It is Bobby Vinton's song, "My Melody of Love"

Mr. Vinton is also well-known as the Polish Prince. Funny thing... my mom told me originally my dad couldn't stand Bobby Vinton, until he found out he's Polish. Then suddenly he grew a great liking for the Polish performer!
