Love / Polish Girl Doesn't Want To Touch. [240]

I felt badly for him and pm'd him this video.

Marvin Gay was good. I had myself smiling 'listen". :)

If that doesn't work, he should het her a huge zirconian ring, and see what happens then. ;)

Love / Unmarried couples in Poland = pathology [310]

I think I know why most people get married: because they think they'll have better chance of staying together. And this would be very noble, if it didn't imply a certain amount of mistrust - either in a partner or their own abilities.

It's a seemingly small distinction, but means a lot to me and it's somewhat similar to this: do you not steal because it's against the law or because it's wrong?

If you are talking about, a young couple marrying only because they are going to have a baby,

So, really why do people get married?
*If it's tradition, pressure, love, reckless abandon... none of them seem to be good enough to even get a tatoo!
*If it's insurance, economics, sense of safety - all false, judging from divorce rates and lawyers raking it in.
*If you think you're going to be a better person because you signed that paper - that hardly ever works. It's not the same thing like paying a lot of money for the gym will make you go more often.

To me, marriage does not represent commitment - staying together whether you're married or not, does. Seems much more so when you're not married.

He has no choice because he doesn't want to offend her.

This is a perfect example of everyone reading into this what we want to read.
To me, the insult is, to both sides, the two days to decide if she'll sleep with him or not. Who forced the issue?? That is very ...unpolite

The perceived modern failure of marriages is in fact, due to that quaint (and entirely liberal/modern) expectation that one marries for love, and not duty. The 'success' of marriages in the idealised past is inextricably linked to the notion that duty overrides all the other crap that a spouse would otherwise not put up with.

All true!
But "quaint" expectation of love, vs "idealized" past linked to duty... you're not telling us which world would you rather live in?

Yes I am married to my wife for 20 years. we have been a couple for 27. We met when we were 15.

Congratulations. Honestly.
Another quick question, and I'm not baiting, I'm really curious about your opinion - do you think you two would last as long if you were not married? And if not, who would have bailed?

You are the kind of girl who thinks that all other girls think in the same way as you do.

yes, but here is the guy who is pressuring a girl to sleep with him, and honestly does not see anything wrong with it, and thinks that everyone thinks like him, too.

Ah, Zimmy is here. So, back to violence... I think those statistics have more to do with socio-economics than the marital status. In my view, things get much worse if people cannot get away from each other because of economic reasons.

f stop, apparently if you were married, you would have worked through your issues...

you really think so?? A guy that can't handle his woman bringing more money and having a carrer would have been helped by a legal paper?

I think marriage is a sign distrust: "I love you honey, but do sign here. Also, this way, if you ever stop loving me, you'll have a hell of a time getting away."

I had a 10 year relationship that had everything but the legal paper. Boy was I glad it didn't when I went back to school and he decided that drinking solved all of his problems!

Love / THE POLISH DISEASE, wanna marry a Polish girl ? read on... [197]

I'm still curious as to what makes his girl so unhappy.
Sometimes "easy going" is a euphemism for lack of ambition.
Maybe she thought they would be conquering the world together, while his perfect weekend plan is a 12-pack and couple of games?
Two small kids and a football season?

I actually know few of those Polish women! LOL
I think you have to have special um.. constitution for a Polish woman. You have to be able to take control. Otherwise she's always going to be looking for what is wrong and trying to fix it.

I don't mean you got to slap her around, you just have to remember that you've got the *ick.
;)
That said, this is a huge generalization - every woman is different. The best way is to establish early on what you can and cannot live without.

Which is easier said than done. That's why me and my bf live in two different houses.

Love / Categories of Polish girls [37]

true. But in light of a next sentence after it...

Now men divide women into two categories:
1. I'd do her
2. I'd have to be really drunk to do her.

Love / Categories of Polish girls [37]

there are 3 categories of guys:
1. the ones we like
2. the ones we don't like
3. the ones you we're not sure about yet.

Which category is the guy in depends on numerous criteria , and their weight according to what is important to a woman, like intelligence, looks, age, ability to provide, sense of humour, political affiliation, experience, baggage, religion, location, fashion sense, personality, etc etc etc

In reality, we just look accross a room at some guy we know absolutely nothing about and for totally unknown reasons we decide we're going to... change him.

Never understood it myself.

the most permanent arrangements are between two people that want to be together. Marriage might be a result of their commitment, not the cause.

UK, Ireland / Polish eligibility to claim benefits in the UK [30]

She ended our relationship last week

Since she ended the relationship, you should not feel bad about cutting her off. If you know her family, I'd call their parents and let them know she will be homeless soon.

I would love to hear her side of the story.
When I was in college and struggling, I rented a room in this guy's big house, in exchange for keeping the whole place clean. He turned out to be a pig in more than one sense. He said it was my fault he could not stop thinking about sex, looking the way I did. I was trying to be polite and considerate of his feelings, thought we could be friends, but he "had his needs", he said. I scraped his whole pig-sty of the house clean while he oogled me, before I realized that I had look for a new place to live, all within one week.

I can understand law requiring that both parents support the child.
But without children, I don't think either party should pay alimony. I know that many women forgo their careers during marriage, but if they do it willingly, then they should consider that they are taking a gamble.

It's to keep the rich from taking advantage of the poor or the strong from taking advantage of the weak.

I honestly don't know what you mean. How does marriage do that?
