maybe there is an element of polish girls who strike up a relationship with western guys just for personal gain
(@used: this is not addressed only to you but your quote was just suitable...)
apart from the fact that it is not limited to polish girls (as was already mentioned here) i am interested in something else...
what kind of men are out there that you all can't deal with that?
it is normal and not even bad that everyone tries to gain the most for themselves. completely understandable that many girls are after material stuff, who wouldn't? if i knew that i only had to ask for something to get... i certainly would ask.
guys, there is a certain element of educating and getting to know each others ways in every relationship.
my girlfriend (yes, she is polish) does the same if we go shopping. it isa case of telling things as they are. i.d rather spend money to help her get a better job. i simply explain that if she wants all these nice things she needs to help with the money earning thing as it doesn't grow on trees...
then there is another element to relationships where greed (in the extreme case) seems to be an issue...
i am not the very best housekeeper but my gf enjoys housework (to an extent!). this frees up my time and mind to my work and earn money... housework is work too. doesn't she deserve to be rewarded from time to time?
and finally it makes me happy to see the sparkle in her eyes when i buy something nice (sometimes a bunch of flowers works the trick already as it shows that i care).
yes, she was coming from a rather poor background but i made this money thing clear quite early, not because i had too but because i wanted to. i want a partner who feels equal.
i know that it is tempting to throw the money out and act as "the man", but in the long term that doesn't work. yes. from time to time it is a good thing. but if you come to the roint that your girl is expecting you to spend money on her, simply say no and explain. the earlier the better...
if she doesn't like it and dumps you for that... it wasn't worth it anyway, right?
as the beatles sang: "money can't buy me love"...
