Genealogy / Is tallness common among Polish people? [201]

I had some misconceptions about Greek average height.
Are people in south Greece taller or shorter than those who live in northern parts?
and How tall?

Genealogy / Is tallness common among Polish people? [201]

I am observing and I would say that female average is slightly above 170 cm for girls here.

Guys are in average 15 cm taller.

I knew you are naughty Mr Grunwald!!!!!!!:)
I stated clearly that I don't have any facial hair, but I LIKE the men who have it ;)
I would like to pull your cute mustache hair by hair by hair by hair, by hair, or twist and pull, twist and pull....what do you think?:)

Mr Grunwald, you made some unflattering comments about me somewhere in my absence :(
I also have to say that I'm not satisfied with the way you treat me after all that effort !!!! to get.. hm friendly with you.

About this height thing. Give it up, competition is over, we are the tallest.
Evil communism/socialism vs good capitalism strangely (?) resulted in changing the order on the list, so we are now in front of those who had the luck to live for the last 50 years in heaven.


Maybe for the girls under age 15.

Are you aware how bad this sounds?


Everything makes sense now. Don't go there anymore, otherwise you will decompensate.

i was thinking only about the way people perceive themselves, nothing more.
people can choose many characteristics as cores of their identity. I am a man, husband, lawyer, son, from Warsaw, catholic..etc.

For me fractions in self descriptions look "unhealthy" in a way that they can signalize some kind of fragmentation or a good way to achieve the same. It's just the way I see that.


thank you, I knew that, signalization on the end was looking strange =D, this .


Thank you :)

I can see that ;)

I used the usual criteria, I wanted to say that you look like a quite healthy person (adaptation, professional, family and social functioning are other criteria, absence of any symptoms...).

So, from this perspective you look OK :)


I am quite new here, but I didn't see any Serb here who wants to join EU, I know it is small sample 2, 3 people (Crow, me, Crnogorac?), but it is showing something completely different to the official story.

People, please take that into consideration.

In many other aspects this forum shows high representativeness of reality.

You are humiliating Serbs (including me now) when you are assuming that any of us is declaring himself/herself as a German.

That is possible only in fantasy world. Germans are people who historically behaved most consistently as a Serbian enemy, I think almost without any exception.

They are responsible for more than a million of Serbian deaths. Vice versa not.

Think again. It looks like the simplest solution, but it's unfortunately completely illogical.

Serbian nationalist /patriot is proud to be a Serb, so he will NEVER ever say that he is a German. Nothing can justify that.

So, think again.

Serbs hate Germans, we even have a saying....." He/She hates him like he is a German"....of course since we had a "democratic revolution" in 2000. you can rarely hear it.


I'm sure you can easily get one.
You are obviously very well adapted or conformed to your surrounding, so why not?

Love / Fell in love; I need to go back to Poland for 2 months - what to say at work (UK) [50]

If you could have kids and marry your job, I would recommend you that option.

Since it's not possible to multiply with your occupation or to have family or emotionally and sexually fulfilling relationship neither with your office, nor with money you will earn, I think that living being like a nice guy you met looks like more serious option to achieve your goals :))

Even if you would split up you would still have nice memories about that period of your life.

This is my personal opinion.

I can give some empirical data. My best male friends are 2m, 193 cm, 192 cm, my brother is 190cm, my late father was 189cm, my boyfriends were from 190 cm to 193cm. Those are the ones who have some Dinaric origins.

I would say that 185 cm to 195 cm is maybe most common height for men here.

So, according to my sample, it's more like 90% of them are taller than 190 ;)

I know some people shorter than this, but they are just few of them that don't have Dinaric background.
Men from Dinaric area are known to be quite ambitious :)) so in last 50 years they fertilized short women which probably lead to increase of Cesarean sections and to the raise the average height of central Serbia.

They also like to multiply more :)) and women prefer them, they simply look better and they are more masculine ;)

Only north parts of Germany and Denmark from countries I visited had people close to those measures. But they had a different bone structure, more fragile ;)

Dutch people I had a chance to meet were also quite tall.


Croats, hehe :))

Polish people mixing with locals resulted in heights 180 cm (I know two guys).

I think they didn't describe it as glamorous, there is, if I remember it correctly , some sort of triumph on the end, like her dreams came true, bla bla, but in general it is not passing that massage to the readers.

There was no massage at all there when I think again. No, not at all.

There are two big bookshop chains in Belgrade, above mentioned writers were very exposed after publishing, so i couldn't miss it.

I bought the book honestly more out of personal curiosity, I thought that somebody wrote that instead of them (probably true) so that I will find inside some romantic description of mechanisms that regulate the industry, but when I started reading it, it looked mostly like her honest confession about her life.

There were her inner world should be, was a great dark hole.
It was really sad.
My impression was just emptiness.
I never heard from anybody anything similar to her description of the world.
Too simple and without any meaningful content (affects?).

I think guys in the late 30 is, married and bored to death were the best buyers of those books, they spent their youth watching movies with Tracy lords. My guess is that some kind of mixture of nostalgia and bedroom boredom was primary motive for that purchase (at least here). I think they were very disappointed ;)

News / Human Trafficking in and from Poland [80]

Countries that decriminalized prostitution actually had as an effect raise of human trafficking, so for the owners of the brothels and those involved in trafficking it was a good thing to do, they always find a way to use law, or bypass it , women had more or less nothing of that.

"Legalization and/or regulation of prostitution, according to the study, led to:

*
A dramatic increase in all facets of the sex industry,
*
A dramatic increase in the involvement of organized crime in the sex industry,
*
A dramatic increase in child prostitution,
*
An explosion in the number of foreign women and girls trafficked into the region, and
*
Indications of an increase in violence against women.

In the state of Victoria, Australia, where a system of legalized, regulated brothels was established, there was such an explosion in the number of brothels that it immediately overwhelmed the system's ability to regulate them, and just as quickly these brothels became a mire of organized crime, corruption, and related crimes. In addition, surveys of the prostitutes working under systems of legalization and regulation find that the prostitutes themselves continue to feel coerced, forced, and unsafe in the business."

Link with lists of countries and their way to regulate prostitution (illegal, partially legal, legal)

As for being a role models for the kids, I think that story is finished. Women involved in pûrnography are now completely legitimate successful entrepreneurs, they are even writers.

I read Jenna Jamison's master piece just to see what does she have to say to the world.
Sad story. At the same time Tracy Lords published her memoirs. I didn't have time to read that too, but ambitious young girls will find wisdom there or many useful "how to" s.

Actually Europe, Italy had that before with Cicciolina who was elected as a representative in Italian parliament. (Teresa Orlowski in Germany also tried to present herself as serious actress, but she didn't make it, so she is now just a successful producer) I think that regardless to that fact Italians saw Cicciolina just as a pûrnography star, so her position in Italian society was quite clear, not like status of the girls in USA who are presented as some kind of real show biz stars. (way to go girls;))

It is becoming mainstream if it's not already.

Life / Stereotypes: Do Poles believe in fate? [18]


That was ironical.
You shouldn't take everything written here so serious.
Anyway, because I can feel your breath behind my back here (IP situation), I will try to give you a semi serious answer.

There are no stereotypes and generalizations in that people around me don't believe in god and fate, we chose each other because we have similar beliefs.

Then I explained why we don't believe in anything.... and what shaped our ideas.

Sex is the best :)) I don't have to clarify or elaborate that I hope ;)
Personal goals differ from person to person, so people have a choice to pick up their credo, no?


Yes, if you didn't notice that before I'm the leader of Eugenic movement on PF. The president, CEO.

Yes, Hitler and I have similar views on human sexuality (among many other similar ideas).
One of those is that German and Slavic people should be in relation of subordination and superordination, small discrepancy is in only in the idea who has the role of the Herren Menschen. ;) ;) ;) ;) (100 winks here, just to prevent wrong conclusions)

Mobilize all potentials, including in this situation very useful Greek ones. (no insult meant ;))

Life / Stereotypes: Do Poles believe in fate? [18]

Russians I met were constantly giving interpretation of accidental events (for example, if a woman asks us where pushkins museum is and we were going that way, that is sure sign that things don't happen without reason, and that we made a good choice).

My surrounding believes in nihil like me.
Communism and science killed God.
Slobodan M. & West politicians Inc. Ltd. during 90 is killed belief in fate, because with that belief we would all give up and commit mass suicide.

We were left with biology and it's ways.
So, we believe in sex.
Things happen because of sex, that's a primary explanatory principle. Events are determined by quality and quantity of sex.

What were the other choices?

yes, it would be nice that they were all just bored and decided to play....

News / Human Trafficking in and from Poland [80]

I didn't say it does. I clearly made a difference between those who are forced this or that way into this, and the others you are talking about who had a choice.

Trafficking ends often in prostitution, so there is causal relation between two.

You had certain prostitution type in mind, I had the most frequent type, what George 4 digits was posting about.

Motives of women you are mentioning are for debate. Burgers are applicable and maybe desirable there ;)

Is this OK for you now?

News / Human Trafficking in and from Poland [80]


I had similar ideas to yours,then I had to do some work on prostitution and facts were convincing....
Starting point is usually existential problem, like with those who are flipping burgers, but they are usually coming from countries which are not allowing you even physical survival with that kind of job (150 euro per month?).

"Sexual trafficking includes coercing a migrant into a sexual act as a condition of allowing or arranging the migration. Sexual trafficking uses physical coercion, deception and bondage incurred through forced debt. Trafficked women and children, for instance, are often promised work in the domestic or service industry, but instead are usually taken to brothels where their passports and other identification papers are confiscated. They may be beaten or locked up and promised their freedom only after earning – through prostitution – their purchase price, as well as their travel and visa costs.

The main motive of a woman (in some cases an underage girl) to accept an offer from a trafficker is better financial opportunities for herself or her family. In many cases traffickers initially offer ‘legitimate’ work or the promise of an opportunity to study. The main types of work offered are in the catering and hotel industry, in bars and clubs, modeling contracts, or au pair work. Traffickers sometimes use offers of marriage, threats, intimidation and kidnapping as means of obtaining victims. In the majority of cases, the women end up in prostitution. Also some (migrating) prostitutes become victims of human trafficking. Some women know they will be working as prostitutes, but they have an inaccurate view of the circumstances and the conditions of the work in their country of destination."

it's from wiki, i don't have here those researches :S

After that, there is no way back.

In some countries situation is less problematic, so in a bigger percentage women who are doing that are in that just for money like you think, so you are right there...

unfortunately on global level, those women constitute a minority

News / Human Trafficking in and from Poland [80]


Sweden has decided to legally persecute only Johns and decriminalize women involved.
It is, as I understood, for now the most efficient way to fight human trafficking.
Reduced demand (with even prison as a punishment ) proved to be really bad for the street prostitution (street prostitution reduced up to 80%, somebody should check this..)


researches i saw stated that most of them have severe existential problems, minority is in that because they really like their jobs (on global level, there are differences of course).

Their life stories are really sad.
Of course, there are examples that don't provoke any sympathies..

Life / How Long Before Poland Has Its 'Dumbest Generation'? [84]


what IQ tests are measuring is not biological quality, it is persons achievement in tests compared to his peers in area test is standardized for, that's partially caused also hopefully by biological intelligence we still don't know where at all is, and what it is, also what is it depending on (genes, which ones?, nurture, early development).

they are hoping that is in the background, causing all those differences.
but it's never just that hypothetical biological in the background, environmental factors are not questionable in psychometric intelligence or IQ.

Yes, of course you can predict it. Everybody can, it's since childhood quite unchangeable.
What was your point here?


If we use your argument, that there is something wrong with black genes we can also assume that IQ of black soldiers was improved through education, so basically black people who are in US army are scoring 100, but thanks to good environment, while white people with better genome were lazy at school and because of that were equal with black ones.

So, next generation of german-american black and white kids had to show some inherent differences, stemming directly from genes ;)


It looks like a quite simplistic idea about the way intelligence is passing from generation to generation, it's surely not like color of eyes, probably polygenic not only one is responsible.

Why would white or black be dominant? What is the connection between color of their skin and genes for biological I, so you think that those two things are related at all?

is there a proof for that statement, i don't know for it?


Again why would genes for black or white skin have to be related to genes for intelligence.
What genes, what is their connection with genes for assumed Biological Intelligence.

IQ is not just biological quality. We all here know that very well.

Life / How Long Before Poland Has Its 'Dumbest Generation'? [84]


Contra arguments:

1.Studies dealing with kids raised together in institution are suggesting there are no interracial differences. Kids who's parents were caribic black or white showed that average IQ at age 4 was 103 for white kids, 106 for mixed kids, 108 for kids with both black parents.

2. If gens would be the main factor of interracial differences then kids who have one Caucasian and on African A as a parent would score same. Kids whose mother is white , father black had in average 9 points more than kids who's mothers were AfAm and fathers white. Explanation for discrepancy is that white mothers usually are providing more stimulative (better educated) environment than AfAm mothers.

3. Flynn, 1980, studied the IQ of few hundreds of German kids who's fathers were African americans and white American soldiers stationed in Germany. Average IQ for both groups is same (97), suggesting that race is not contributing to IQ.

4. Study from Scarr, 1977, dealing with proportion of european gens in African American population (as a result of mixing with white Ams) done in Philadelphia , 3000 kids participated, showed that relative proportion of white gens is not correlated at all with IQ, no differences found.

5. African american kids that were categorized high IQ using number showed that those kids had LESS white ancestors than general AA population who scored less on IQ test.

Those things are shifting responsibility for found differences from gens to environmental factors who seem to be more relevant for developing skills IQ tests are measuring.

it's not that simple to distinguish how much that quite small difference is a result of bad environmental factors, and how much it's a genetic thing.

It's true they are scoring in average 10 points less (which is quite small number btw.), but it's probable that differences are caused by life experiences rather than gens (for decades African american kids were raised in poor families, abandoned by fathers, with lousy education possibilities, in criminal neighborhoods)


everybody is doing that. so i guess it's 100 ;)
