Life / Polish men mostly have short hair, why? [43]

actually Polish men get bald pretty fast and it's common...

Some Polish girls seem to lose hair faster too than Dutch girls. I've seen a lot of Polish girls who had very thin hair already for their ages. (Maybe you guys and girls need more Dutch genes in the pool?)

;P

Yes that's right, works for both.

That's not the impression I've had so far..

;)

If she starts sharing her bedroom stories with you then that's first step in you being involved not only as a listener :P

Oh great, and after ten years someone's telling me?

;P

Yes but u dont start a relationship with a stranger.

Unless you feel that there's a crazy chemistry between you and this stranger, and you feel like you want to get to know this stranger.

I mean if you are not interested in a person as a friend then u wont make a couple with her or him either. Coz the friendship is a base and on top of that there are the other things.

I've got nothing more to add to that.

I do have the taste for the things i havent tried before but it isnt necessarily a good thing either - i buy them and then when i cant eat it coz it doesnt taste nice to me so i end up hungry lol

Try a restaurant more often?

;P

yeah i would agree about the forced dates but it happens everywhere, not only on dating websites. Some people are so fixed on having a date that they cant think straight.

Yeah, hormones can be a real bítch sometimes, but they are a part of our nature. It's pretty understandable people don't want to be alone all the time, and I don't think it's very healthy to be alone either.

They tend to ask straight away if a person is interested in a relationship, if she wants friendship first then she is erased from the list. How ridiculous is that?

In all honesty, I think you have some women for that to blame as well. There are a lot of girls who are looking for attention, or a talk-buddy, and the last thing a guy who's looking for a partner needs are those girls who go on about their boyfriends. (And I know some girls love to do this on purpose!) I don't mind female friends, but I don't really want to hear all those bedroom stories either. (Unless I'm involved!)

;)

Just being honest there.

Only creeps say they are not creepy :P

Haha! Well, you can call me everything you want, but I'm just going to keep telling you I know myself best.

abuse something what was not talked about in Poland until very recently

I could definitely date a single mother if her kids wouldn't mind. (And if she really was the type of person I would fall for.) Why? Because those women have really been through something, and in most cases may have learned a lot of valuable life-lessons from such an experience. (No offense, but I think younger women who haven't give up far too easily these days when their boy makes a stupid mistake.) I also like the idea of cheering someone up, and I'm not too selfish. The idea of a dating-site gives me a plastic feeling though, I think it's too fake and too forced.

I have said many stupid things when I was younger, but I've never cheated, and never harmed a woman. (I may have hurt some feelings with stupid decisions but that wasn't my intention.)

I just wanted to reply to this, and I don't mean to flirt with half the planet here, so I don't want everyone to think I'm looking for a single mother now, because I'm not necessarily looking for anyone at the moment.

I just really wanted you to know that there are many guys who aren't as creepy as you may think. (We often just a bit clumsy or a bit too enthusiastic when we're talking to a woman we're interested in, especially if there's a certain expectation!) Just socialize with people and look a bit further, and forget about those dating-sites. It's much better to get to know men in a different environment where dating isn't the expectation, because that's how you really see someone for who he is in everyday life. (When he isn't trying to sweet talk all the time.)

I mean, on dating-sites people are actively looking for something, and so many guys will pretend to be the more than they can be. It's a mistake many guys make, because believe it or not, some guys can get a little insecure too, and sometimes they want to impress someone a little too bad. (I believe the girls call this ''desperate'' behaviour.) Maybe I'm wrong, but you sound like someone who has had a bad experience? Whatever happened, or didn't happen, I wish you good luck, because not everyone who's interested in a woman (With or without children!) necessarily has to be a creep.

:)

Just saying!

I m even worse - if i go shopping when hungry then i buy lots of unnecessary things so i m trying to do shopping after eating but then i dont buy almost anything coz the food isnt nice then so when i m hungry i dont have anything to eat then i go shopping... vicious circle :S

Maybe you should try to develop a taste for the things you haven't tried yet, maybe that will make shopping more interesting? (Even when you're not hungry!)

;)

Single mothers are easier to abuse than childless single women? I dont get it. Or you mean the women are not the person who they are interested in, they are interested in their babies? :S

Oh well, if that's the case, then she should really forget the whole story I've just posted. (Although I do believe it contains a bit of useful information anyway!)

:)

I have said many stupid things when I was younger, but I've never cheated, and never harmed a woman. (I may have hurt some feelings with stupid decisions but that wasn't my intention.) Just to let you know this is coming from a guy who doesn't consider himself to be a creep.

I wanted to edit that, because it probably suggested something I didn't mean to suggest at all.

What circumstances are changing? i think u are using different logic now which is unknown for my specie :P

*waves the white flag*

Yes, u are a man - u go to the shop to buy one thing and u do it.

I'm afraid I'm the type of guy who goes to the shop without a shopping list, forgets what it was that he wanted to buy because he was daydreaming again, and buys some other random stuff, just to find out he misses the things that he really needed when he finally gets home!

Why did you write translation? did you think i may not understand what you mean with my illogical mind? :P

Isn't this a rhetorical question? Not at all, I really wouldn't be so silly as to call your minds illogical. It's pretty logical, but I do think the circumstances are changing and demand a bit of new logic?

At least you can chose, and check the girl out if she is one from the 15 before any commitment :p

I'll give you a hint: Multiple choice is too complicated for me. I'd rather let someone else choose!

Hehe

;)

That's one difference in our modern lives, that roles in a traditional family unit are changing, even our "gender" roles are changing, slowly but still changing. I don't think its a bad thing but traditions have been lost. Guess we will have to wait for 50years to see what benefits come out of this.

I think some guys are trying to adapt, but I think women need a bit longer because they're usually a bit sensitive to what other women will think of them. (Status.) And before you girls throw your tomatoes at me, am I really wrong?

grandmothers are just waiting for talking care of their gransons and grandaughters, so being under pressure of older generation causes an objection

I recoqnize that one. (See? We're not so different!)

;P

economically it is very risky

Yes, but this isn't really a woman's argument, because it's equally risky for the man in this current climate.

it's not funny. at all. :((

Does it mean you are one of those unlucky guys who got as a girlfriend one from those 15 ones? lol

No, but I'm happy to tell you I'm unlucky in a different way.

;)

Translation: Is this guy single?

If they could have both they would, i suppose. I guess there arent really many women who would really decide to be childless, for some it's not a priority and it loses with the need of self fulfilling in job, career etc. but in most cases it's coz they cant have both.

That desire never disappears if it was there. I've known a few women who seemed a bit sad about not having children in the later days of their in life. After fourty it may become harder to find a suitable partner, or to have children.

Translation: I want to have both.

That's just arrogant to say that:P typical man pfffft

Who? Me? Nah, just trying to flame you girls into shedding some light on some of the biggest mysteries in life!

;)

Translation: I can't argue with that.

one reason of many, many others: a thought that men run away when hearing from his partner/wife/ "I want a baby"

You know Noreen, I can't speak on behalf of all the guys, but when guys are young they want to play around. They want to have adventure. I personally think that it's best for most guys to let them fullfil their desires, before you ask them to commit themselves to a life sentence. Same goes for girls I think? I mean, let's be honest, most girls aren't too serious about it when they're eightteen either?

;)

Yes, bring on the tomatoes!

What!!!! who is spreading this lunacy!!!

Some ''surveys'' you can find on the Dutch homepage of MSN.

I agree with this part and would add a higher percentage would prefer to be in a steady career before kids (good thing IMHO).

I think it's a good thing too, but I do think women should come out of their traditional role-pattern. I mean, most men do not expect their potential partners to be higher qualified or more succesful either. Women tend to look for someone stronger than themselves. I think they should open their eyes to new possibilities. (No offense!)

Sandwich please;)

Depends on who's asking.

They say that out of every hundred women there are about fifteen women who don't like sex at all, and about ten women who want a career instead of children. (Regardless of nationality.) So what do the girls have to say about that?

Just coz u cant understand something it doesnt mean it's illogical :P

Try me. (Meaning you should say something I don't understand.)

Real Estate / PLN 2,500 the going rate for an apartment in Poland [210]

There are IT courses in English (sometimes Ponglish) in most polish universities of technology, 1 person dorm room costs 300-400zł...

Really? I know Ponglish! LOL. 100 €? Okay. (Somehow I think it won't be that cheap for a foreigner though!)

;)

Poland won't be getting the Euro for some time to come.

Depends on how you look at it? I've heard they will adopt the Euro around 2014. They originally intended to adopt the Euro around 2012, but they said they couldn't achieve this target just yet. As soon as they can they will, there's not much doubt about that, since Poland signed the treaties.

There were no drastic price changes in Slovakia for basic goods and services.

Slovakia almost sounds like the place to be then!

Which probably explains all the students. Are you suggesting that wages will rise here to the UKs level, or that UK salaries will drop?

I'm suggesting that once they'll have the Euro, their prices will go up drastically, because the plan was, and still is, to have one currency in Europe, with one value. You can't expect to have a weak Euro in Poland, and a stronger Euro in the rest of the countries, but I'm sure you guys already knew that.

How's your Polish? As a cloggy, you can go to uni here...

Not good enough to be able to study at a University in Poland, but I don't necessarily have to study there so that's okay.

If triple your salary was only an hour away by plane, would you take off?

Not if I had children, no. Besides, the whole triple-your-salary thing will be over soon, and then what?

There are plenty of loans and grants here to cover living expenses, not to mention student jobs. Considering the cost of tuition, you don't exactly need a lot of money to go to school... If nothing else, going to university isn't an issue here.

In which language do they teach their subjects?

No idea if you look Nort or whatnot but you do look chubby and stupid, what happened to your finger??

For your information: She posted a different picture a good long while ago, saying it didn't show and it didn't work. Well, me being the curious critter that I am, I copied and pasted the link she provided here and re-posted it for her again. This is not the same picture, not the same girl, and the other picture obviously has been removed, which makes your comment all the funnier!

History / If i could write European history i would unite Europe under Polish language [67]

What i mean is how do they know Dutch developed first, rather than developing out of other languages.

They can't say for certain ofcourse. The problem is that most of the European tribes never wrote anything down. We do know that Fresian is an older language than German, English and Dutch though, like what Gaelic is in Ireland. The Dutch people spoke a variety of dialects before it was decided that all of Holland should speak ABN. (An abbreviation which loosely translates as Common Civilized Dutch.) This modern day Dutch has much in common with the Germanic languages, but it's not really what I mean with Dutch language. (My bad!)

So why can't I be both then? (I can multi-task you know!) Nah, just felt like being a bit annoying and it was 6:00 in the morning!

;P

Where? Here in Poland, working class salaries have increased year on year.

I guess your last reply was reasonable, but if everyone earns fair wages in Poland, then why are so many people working abroad? All I hear from them is that it's worse, worser, worst.

Not to mention attending IT studies is pretty close to free. Excuse=what?

Hey, if you can afford to study, then there's no excuse not to do it. (I know I would!)

Go ahead. None of them take into account the absolutely massive black economy in education in Poland - do you really think 99% of people are declaring income from private lessons?

No, I don't. But that doesn't change the fact that housing prices should have a ''healthy relationship'' with the official salary.

Trust me - state teachers working full time might only make 1200zl on paper, but they only work 18x45min a week - do you really think they're sitting at home the rest of the time?

Ofcourse not.

I can assure you that in Poznan, 50zl an hour for private lessons from a qualified teacher is the "normal" price.

Which should be cheaper.

Let's say Magda earns about 1200zl in her hand from her State job - she still has plenty of time to teach privately on top. Let's say she does another 25 lessons a month - she's now on 2500zl or so a month in cash. That's not bad money for a profession which requires simply a pass grade from university.

Yes, and that's still not 4000 zloty, or is it? Anyway, all this black business doesn't help your economy at all, and all of that will change in the future anyway, because you've joined the EU and you will have the Euro someday. (And new rules and regulations.) And then you'll remember what I've told you, and maybe then you'll agree with me that there has to be a fair supply of affordable appartments, houses, flats, whatever..

We're just nit-picking now, aren't we? I guess we'll see what the future holds for Poland, but somehow I don't think it will differ that much from what the future held for the rest of the EU countries. (In long forgotten, and ancient times!)

Well you seemed to have changed your tune or are the "uncontrollable poor" oblivious to spoiled Dutch folk?

No, not really. Just making fun of snobbish comments.

It swings so much, A J. There was a time when I regularly got 6.2k. I've just finished 2 contracts so that takes 1000PLN off a month. I'm looking at 3800PLN unless I get more contracts. Still, it's not easy to get summer work here so I'm glad to have it. Privates prop me up too.

Yes, but without those private sessions? Would a regular teacher who teaches one, two or maybe three subjects at tertiary-level earn much more than 2800 PLN a month? I don't think so.

Do they do transferable chassis/suspension insurance in Holland? ;) ;)

If you have an all-risk policy, then yes they do.

Your Ferrari would be wrecked on these roads.

Not my problem. (I did say renting, didn't I?)

;)

But even a pair of Polish teachers working in State schools can easily take home between them 3500-4000PLN a month if they apply themselves.

Shall I dig up some more statistics and articles then? Or are you going to admit teachers don't earn 4000 zloty a month? Seanus, do you ''easily'' take home 4000 zloty a month? You're a teacher in Poland, aren't you?

If someone is only earning the equal of 1000 euro between two, they can't expect to live in a city centre flat with the latest furnishings, alongside driving a nice new car. It's just not realistic.

No, but demanding affordable appartments is realistic.

Any decent, qualified native English teacher can take home 4000zl a month without breaking into too much of a sweat.

There you go!
thenews.pl/business/artykul123692_teachers-poor-relation-in-poland.html

The highest salaries, exceeding 4,000 zloty were reported in IT, banking, insurance and power industry. On the other hand, teachers and cultural institutions' employees earned no more than 2,500 zloty (615 euro).

I thought they earned more.

They sure do when they teach at university, but those are usually called professors, not teachers. Actually, some teachers might just make that, when they have about twenty years of working experience in multiple fields..

;)

But we'd better wait for them to speak for themselves.

Edit: Actually, let's just state the facts and say that kindergarten and tertiary-level teachers earned a monthly average income of 2850 zloty in 2006. So I'm really curious to see if they're earning 4000 zloty now?

A full-time English teacher doesn't earn 4000zl.

;)

I cannot understand this attitude in Poland that someone who didn't bother to study something that earns big money should have a nice flat and a nice car and so on!

If he or she works for it, then he or she should be able to live a normal life. (I'm not talking about a Ferrari here?) Just because you've studied something doesn't mean you're more or less important. What if there weren't enough electricians for example? Companies would be in trouble. What if no one wants to pick up the garbage? Diseases would spread in no time. Why shouldn't they drive a car? Oh, and something else, a lot of people who don't drive a car can't go to work either.
