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

I have seen some pretty tall irish..

Maybe they've all been hiding from me to make me think they're all short??

:O

Now *that* would be mean!

No, I'm not trying to maintain that it's 185, or even 180, but it has to be more than 170 FFS!!

I'd say the Polish are just as tall as the Irish, so it's not like I'm trying to dwarf you guys infront of the whole world. But it could be that your real average height is 175 cm, but from all the people I've seen and met I doubt it'll be much taller than that. (Who knows in the future!)

Love / Being Taken For A Idiot by my Polish girlfriend? [37]

You know the older I get the more I realise that men and women are exactly the same...As much as we hate to admit it...

I already knew that when I was five! (Only difference would be that we're much smarter of course!)

;P

Language / Some Ideas for a band name using the Polish language? [94]

Prawda is a noun.

(To) prawda (lit. it's the truth) are used when right, correct or true are used in English.

Diękuję. (I have these books but I have to go by example, without too much of in-depth explanation.)

Our business clients/customers, all his friends & neighbours, his brothers, other family members - nearly all of them are taller than him.

If that's the case, then why is the average height in Ireland not 185 cm then? I mean taller than the Dutch average?

I'm 24 years old and still have no driving license!!!

You're not the only one, so don't worry. You'll get it when you get it. Hey, some might disagree with me, but life's not a race?

News / POLISH ART is not well represented in the West (especially in the US). Why? [25]

I'm willing to bet that if I painted the same rubbish that it wouldn't. I still think it's all about having uppity friends and acquaintances in the art-circuit. I wanted to go to the Rietveld Academy when I was young, and I definitely had a talent for drawing and painting, but alas, the tuition fees were much too high for my family.

:S

Not fair!

So did I and I got 1.77 for Irish & 1.84 for Dutch : )

Yeah, but you got it from Wikipedia, and I got it from the Irish government.

;)

From looking around me on a daily basis I'm fairly confident that 1.70 is very much on the low side for Ireland though. I mean of course I see men that size occasionally but I don't actually know any.

Most Irish guys I've met were somewhere around that height, I mean, they were definitely shorter than me. (Scottish too.) I'm willing to bet that the younger generations are a bit taller though.

Yea right i'm sure there are tons taller than 196, 200cm or taller is way too tall, but like you said it depends on the girl and how tall she is.

Hey, I'm just applying your own logic there.

After New Year it will cost 1500-1600 zł!!!

That's pretty cheap. (Over here it's about 3000 €.)

That's better : ) I'd say a bit more to be fair - about 175 maybe.

I just Googled it. The average height of Irish men is 5'7'', (170 cm.) and the average height of Irish women is 5'5''. (165 cm.)

I'd date a tall Dutch girl lol, but here in the States i'd have to go to Minnesota or Iowa to find Dutch Americans in large numbers.

That's okay, because tall Dutch girls probably wouldn't date you. Because tall Dutch guys are definitely taller than you. (Think 200 cm or even taller!)

Going back to my theory, it's gotta be the food and amount, i know many Irish Americans and some are very tall, taller than me even.

It also has to do with sleep.

Wait a minute there is something wrong here - this would make the average Irish guy about 155 cm tall - LOL!!

Hey, don't take that phrase too literal. (It's an expression.) I probably mean to say that most Irish guys are about 170 cm tall. (Or close to that.)

:)

No fuckin' waaaay man. We are no Dutch men but that is just rubbish!!!

Revenge of the cloggie.

I'm 185cm and would be considered pretty tall. Taller than most of my friends for example - maybe even all of them.

That's what I mean. So, do I go to Ireland, or do I go to Poland? (Or should I date an Eskimo?)

xD

Life / INVISIBLE MAN in shops and offices in Poland? [70]

From what i hear its an unwritten rule in Poland, pregnant women get to cue jump.

Well, if there are any decent men and women in that cue, then this would probably be the case just about anywhere in the world.

You're kidding, right? No offense, but every Irish person I've ever seen, was about one head shorter than me. Only a few were about as tall as me, and a very rare case was taller. (Same goes for Polish people by the way!)

AJ shorter people may live longer but they don't get girls, many die childless.

Depends on how tall the girls around them are. (See, in a country like Ireland, I'd be pretty f*cking tall!) Oh, and something else: All my cousins are shorter than me, and they all have a partner, and they all have kids! (So much for your theory.)

Of course its all about the votes! We have elections in close time

I usually hate it when I'm right.

I'm 180 cm tall, which is relatively short for Dutch standards. (I'm part French.) But compared to Polish standards, I'd say I'm pretty much average height, if not a little bit taller than most? But it's okay really, it's said shorter people live longer!

You'll learn that it's all about votes, and you'll find that most people are too absorbed with their own lives, aswell as with all of the things that you call trivial matters, to actually inform themselves about what or who it is they're going to vote for. (Either it's that, or they just don't care.)

I mean that media and politicans are more intrested in some trivial matters

They really aren't interested in such matters, and all the media attention is probably just a distraction while they're making the real decisions. (Matters of public concern usually have a political purpose.)

The posters here are not much different than the Polish population.

Oh? (So they're all like moi?)
