Love / Polish women USED TO BE much more attractive: [162]


I don't know if I understand you right, but you from where I sit it looks like you are saying that women are becoming heavier and therefore less attractive. I agree with this to some degree. Obese and very overweight people are not attractive. But slightly heavier people can still be attractive. And they can be healthy as well. It all depends where skinny and attractive ends for you. The way the world sees the beauty these days disqualifies most women, and if you want to strive for the ideal that the media present you'd better forget about potatoes and bacon. If you are striving for the fit and normal looking, yes, you are right, eating in moderation and exercising will do it for you.

Now, a question. The guys sings "Big girls, you are beautiful" My problem with this video is that the dancers with the colorful dresses aren't big (though some women later in the video are too heavy). They are normal looking girls. Why did the world decide to call "normal" "big?

no woman who wants to stay skinny eats any potatoes, same with bacon

fried: thumb down
carbs with fat is what makes your belly grow

That will do it. I once picked into the kitchen at a restaurant and I saw the chef pour melted butter with a ladle on a plate of pasta. I must have been something like a stick that went onto that plate.

But don't you think the age has to do with your weight issue (if you have one, of course)? In my twenties I used to be size 2 without ever doing anything about it, nowadays I have to put quite a lot of work into fitting into size 10.

You are forgetting about the genes. They say a girl is eventually going to turn into her mother, and I think it's usually true weightwise. Some people have it easier to keep the weight down just by eating healthy and excercising, some still find it very hard.

I actually like the last 3 paintings on the bottom. But I would call them murals rather than graffiti.

I wish they punished the hooligans harsher in Poland. It's really annoying seeing something nice or new and then someone sprays something obscene on it.

This is very true. There is plenty of small stuff men don't like to be bothered with, so women automatically assume it's their duty. Some men gave it the prestigious name of running the household, while actually the woman run herself into exhaustion.

That too. But in general things for a German person have to make sense. For a Polish person things have to feel right.

At the end the failure of Germansation is abut flexibility. Bismarck was a great economist, politician, strategist, but one thing he was lacking was the understanding of human nature, and that it can vary from nation to nation. He basically thought Poles work like Prussians. If something is verboten they will not do that. And it worked well in Prussia. He successfully limited communistic movement by giving people more social services and forbidding the movement.

If Poles were like Prussians, they would peacefully switch to German. But the Polish brain works differently. We need flexibility and so called Freiraum.

If you need to compare patriotism to something, I would compare it to organized religion. Both relay on the concept of loving something abstract. Both tell you that through belonging to to the group you are something better than anyone from outside the group, and in both cases people are killed because of protecting the abstract idea.

I would go for some South Americans, like Brazilians, or Argentinians. They could help some Poles not to be so dense :)

Other than not being allowed to form authorized communities I haven't heard of any other rules in Warsaw in free Poland.

History / Norman Davies - the Brit who loves Poland and becomes one of Us [250]


Oh the usual, little petty attacks and no logic.


Jews were allowed to live legally in Warsaw since 1768. The third partition was in 1795 and if you look that way, yes you are right, they were not allowed to live in Warsaw for a long time in independent Poland. Is that what you are trying to say?

History / Norman Davies - the Brit who loves Poland and becomes one of Us [250]


That's really strange. What year are you talking about? The novel Lalka by Prus shows Warsaw and the Jewish situation in Warsaw in the beginning of 20th century or the end of the 19th, I'm not sure, and it shows that the poor Jews were concentrated in Praga, but rich and influential ones were mingling.
