Love / Good looking Polish women with ugly men [416]

Indeed.

I really think guys should tell them that more often. (Or at least try to!)

Barbie type/California plastic are the least attractive types for me by far.

Maybe I'm simple or something, but I don't really mind the more girly/barby types either, for as long as they're nice.

And to all the people who still don't get it: I rest my case. Bless him! Hey, if he can do it.. I sincerely hope some guys here will see the light now. (Call me naive, but it doesn't hurt to try?)

Love / Good looking Polish women with ugly men [416]

You're as handsome as you like to believe you are. Call it horsecrap if you like, but there's always someone who's prettier or uglier than you. A simple fact of life is that we all lose our beauty along the way, no matter how many contests you've won in the past, and I'm sure you'll find out that beauty isn't all important one day.

Besides, people who smile, people who are confident, people who are happy and seem active and vibrant, will of course appear more handsome/pretty than those who allow other people to talk them down. So don't do that. If you're a nerd, there are plenty of nerdy girls around. If you're older, there are plenty of older girls around. If you're pretty handsome, there are plenty of pretty girls around. (And vice versa for all the girls out there!) I mean, even dwarves can find a dwarf!

The truth is that most people are ugly though, or beautiful, which all depends on how you look at it. I personally appreciate all those little flaws and like to believe that such flaws give you more character. But you can all stare yourselves blind on a few photoshopped models if you prefer, but I'm just going to remind you that it's pretty silly to compare yourself with artificial beauty or ideals. What's beautiful? I guess it all depends on how your view yourself.

Some girls actually like the ugly/rough types better, where others prefer a smooth babyface. Oh, and guys don't always fall for Miss Universe either.

Love / Foreign Men and Polish Girls for Citizenship [59]

Well, I've noticed quite a few Polish guys who had similar things to say here. It really doesn't matter if you're Australian, Polish, Russian, British, German, Dutch, Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian, French, English, Irish, Scottish or whatever nationality you belong to, because I'm basically adressing all the guys who need to hear it from someone.

News / Poland's atheist loonies have had their 5 minutes [239]

Notice how I - being an atheist/agnost - am not replying to any of this sh¡t? Good. So now you know who's stirring up those sentiments. I may have been guilty of that myself in the past, but it has always been a reaction. No more though. Let me just finish this post by saying you have no proof for all those wild accusations whatsoever. Oh, and of course you're the person who's actively promoting the anti sentiments with most of your postings, which means that you shouldn't be surprised when other people decide to dislike you and everything you stand for with a passion. Kettle. Pot. Black.

Love / Foreign Men and Polish Girls for Citizenship [59]

I'm sorry if this is too realistic for some of you, but I really think that the same can be said about some of the Polish fellows out there, who are probably too insecure to approach a girl, or just don't know what to say to a girl. What do you expect from the girls when you're not chasing them? That she'll stop and think to herself: But what about those lonely Polish guys? Come on! Smell the coffee!

Say anything. You don't have to be Einstein, and it's okay to say stupid sh¡t sometimes. (Some girls will actually feel flattered, no matter how much you're stuttering.) If she behaves like a total b¡tch the first time you address her, you should shrug it off and maybe try again under different circumstances. (If she wasn't too extreme or cruel for you!) Unless she thought you were being creepy, there's a fat chance she'll act a bit different. Some girls actually like guys who don't allow themselves to be discouraged too easily. (Which is exactly why some girls actually give you some lip, because they like to see you try.) Of course it also helps to take good care of yourself. It doesn't always matter if you have a bit of acne, have a receding hairline, or other flaws. You'll never be as pretty as a girl. Okay? Girls have their own flaws too, but they usually hide them underneath a thick layer of make up. Trust me, they know, and they're usually ten times as insecure than you've ever been, so don't let that beauty queen attitude discourage you.

Dare to be different. Open up. Being creative with your language to a certain extent usually works, but hey, don't overdo anything. (It doesn't hurt to try though!) But first and foremost: Stop being a sobbing slob who complains about his foreign competition. Nothing is more unnattractive than a guy who gives up. Find your fighting spirit. Work out. Believe in it. You don't have to be filthy rich to score a date, and you don't actually have to be ultra-handsome or super-intelligent either. Don't let anyone convince you of that, because your competition actually hopes you'll be that dumbass who will fall for these old chestnuts. Some chicks are gold-diggers alright, but most girls out there just want attention from a man. Any man. Find some determination. Find some ambition. Discover your passion. Stop being lazy. Pick something which interests you, or pick something you really enjoy doing, or think you will enjoy doing, and try to excell at whatever your choice will be. Screw it, take a few dancing lessons for example, and you'll see you'll be able to meet plenty of girls! (Not necessarily single, but you have to start somewhere!) Oh, and whatever you choose to do, don't do that for them, but do that for yourself. Enjoy yourself. Loosen up. Lighten up. Okay? Cool.

Copy and paste this post whenever you feel down. Dumbass. It's not the foreign men who are your problem. It's you yourself who's your biggest problem. Acknowledge that, and start doing something about that! Look, there will always be girls who fall for exotic men, just like there will always be exotic girls who fall for you. The simple truth is that the majority of the girls won't hesitate to accept a date closer to home.

You aren't the most handsome guy in town? Well.. Stop comparing yourself to the ''ideal'', because photoshop doesn't apply to reality! I know plenty of girls who aren't the prettiest in town either! (Get it now?) Do you have any idea how many girls and women are single and feeling lonely these days? Boy, I sincerly hope you feel stupid after reading this post, because it's never too late to change. Oh, and if you feel like you're a big fat loser, I suggest you forget about chasing the ladies for a while, and actually do something for yourself first!

Poland is pretty much a homogenous society, with about 96% of the population being 100% Polish, so just please cut the crap and stop blaming the foreigners or the girls for your own insecurity already! Yes. Ouch. Now you know what to do. Try. Find out. Do it your way. You don't need any seduction courses or pay for advice from a Casanova. It's actually easier than some of you seem to think, trust me. Good luck bro!

Yes, long post, because I'm tired of all the whining here, and I actually prefer to see happy people.

Love / I was raised in Poland. My Family hates my wife because she's American ... [69]

Of course it is crazy Lukasz. You are a grown man, and you have married a woman you wanted to marry. That is your decision, your responsibility and your life. Your mother should learn to accept that, or at least respect your decisions, whatever she may think of your actions.

I would never allow anyone to buy a house for me though. No one owes me anything, and I do not owe anyone else anything. I will never allow someone else to control certain aspects of my life that way. I may sound blunt to you, but I hope you have learned a valuable lesson there?

You are a grown man and a father to four children. You should work for your own property Lukasz, because that way, you will always have control over your own household and your own life, and no one will be able to blackmail you into doing anything that you firmly disagree with, and no one will be able to kick you out of your own house, unless you do not pay your bills.

I am not you, and do not know the slightest about your situation, but I can safely state that I would never forgive my mother if she treated me and my wife like that. It is utterly disrespectful towards you and your wife. You should not allow your mother to humiliate you and your wife this way.

Love / Why are Polish women so sexy ? [390]

Bigging yourself up is like patting yourself on the back or blowing your own trumpet. He means to say you are flattering yourself.

Love / Why are Polish women so sexy ? [390]

I agree!

Maybe we should interview one of the elderly members of PF here, but I like to think that you probably will not notice any of that, or mind it too much, when you are becoming old and ugly yourself. I could be wrong, but I think people have a tendency to lower their standards as they age and deteriorate? I guess I still have thirty years before I am starting to find out. I promise I will get back at you! Just imagine reading back your own posts on PF when you are sixty something, and laughing to yourself about how foolish you were. Although digging up this thread might prove troublesome, especially if Admin passes away before I do, but who knows I will suffer from Alzheimer in 2066!

News / Polish Primate condemns EU's anti-Christianity [29]

Of course they can sascha, or have you seen any European atheists who are actively persecuting and/or killing Christians because religious fundamentalists - which are definitely not atheists - are killing eachother in Egypt?

I think the truth of the matter is that the influence of the Roman Catholic Church over the European population is dwindling, and that articles such as these could be characterised as typical religious attempts at fear-mongering, in order to keep its remaining followers more determined to cling to their religion.

I do not believe in endtime prophecies, and I am convinced that Christians have nothing to be afraid of in modern-day Europe, although they should learn to accept the fact that their political, as well as their social influence is deteriorating due to the seperation of church and state within the EU.

News / Poland is important in the global economy crisis? [33]

Those were the estimates for January 2010, emha. For example, the Dutch population actually grew with 88903 people during 2010, which this particular graphic does not show, so this explains why percentually, demographics are always shifting. You should keep in mind that the population of Poland grows with about 0.08% annually, and that a graphic from 2007 - which is not an estimate - shows that poland made up 5.4% of the European population.

Now, if the other EU countries would still show the same population figures - hypothetically - as in the estimate that Wikipedia shows, then the Polish people would have made up about 5.7% of the European population, at best. Of course this is not the case, and we have seen the usual influx of non-European immigrants during 2010, which also contributes to lower percentages for the indigenous European population as well.

A population growth of a few percent in just one year is totally unrealistic for any country, unless we are talking about another baby-boom. (Which I can assure you is not the case in Poland.)

Travel / Ski and Snowboard - Poland 09/10 season (updated: 10/11 season) [84]

I do not think it is a dumb idea, but of course I can not tell you wether it is realistic or not though, although I am sure you have a better idea about your own situation than I have. All I will say is that if you have the financial resources to make all of this happen, then of course you should pursue your dreams for a while. (You only live once!)

UK, Ireland / I worry about the Poles working in the UK [77]

There are violent individuals in every country, belonging to all kinds of nationalities and races, and for as long as people are unhappy about their differences and/or situations, not much will change. To keep a long story short: I would not worry more about a Polish person who works in the UK any more or less than that I would worry about myself or someone else if they worked in the UK. It is just a matter of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, but unfortunately the media will report such incidents in a way which will fit their political agenda. I would hardly call this news. (Pun intended!)

News / Poland is important in the global economy crisis? [33]

I see that you have changed the title of this thread. Thank you. I acknowledge that the Polish soldiers have liberated my country, and I can not help it that some of the Polish people are still bitter about the past. Let us look at today; the EU currently invests a lot of money in Poland, so I do not think we need this kind of hostility between our nations anymore, eventhough it's mild, or could be viewed as tongue-in-cheek.

I do not expect any gratitude, but I do not feel like we should make amends for the past either, because our generations simply can not be held accountable for all that has happened. I agree with Stu though, because it *is* cheap to blow your own trumpet at the expense of other people, especially when those people are actually helping you.

That said, I wish you people success, and hope to see a strong business partner in the near future, because this will also benefit us.

News / Polish Primate condemns EU's anti-Christianity [29]

The EU is a secular body, which means there is a seperation of church and state. People are free to practice their religion within the boundaries of law, and of course people are also free to abandon religion. I see no problems there. These outbursts of violence in Egypt have nothing to do with Europe, or Atheists for that matter.

News / US Military: The Army of Poland is crap. [124]

You are totally clueless in this aspect. You have no idea how many of our guys have died by being overly protective of the civilian population, something jihadis use to their advantage each and every day.

I've seen the footage in question, and even I could see that these people were unarmed as they flew around the buildings. Use your goddamn binoculars. Just imagine what would happen if every soldier opened fire like this! And opening fire on unarmed people who are retrieving their wounded, even when they're combatants, would be one of the biggest no-no's for a soldier! (I've always been instructed not to!)

In war innocent people die. Doesn't matter who shoots at who, there will always be innocent people caught in the middle. You make it sound like all Americans go and shoot children but you do not know how many wish they were never there.

I know they wish they were never there. I know most guys are trying to be good soldiers, for as much as that is even possible. It's just the fact that your army recruits people who have criminal records which bothers me. I think this may have something to do with the misbehavior of some soldiers. For example when a whole Iraqi family got raped and murdered in their own home. This is unnacceptable. Have you heard about such incidents involving Polish soldiers? No, you haven't! But still some Americans have the audacity to call the Polish army crap, and this is why this thread bothers me.

You don't realize that American soldiers have families, children at home but were enlisted and shipped out somewhere where they would rather not be. They would prefer to stay home with their families than go shoot at children.

I know.

But the military does not represent all Americans.

No, but I think it wouldn't hurt Americans if they showed more outrage when such incidents occur, instead of covering them up, or trying to divert from their own **** ups by complaining about Polish soldiers in their newspapers. I probably view this article as showing a lack of respect for your allies. I've heard many good things about the Polish soldiers, and I know their military presence is much smaller in numbers, so I don't think American troops would do any better under such circumstances.

Apparently the Dutch were very successful We should pull out and let the Dutch take over. AJ how about an Afghan holiday?

Why do you think we left? Dutch people back home have seen these incidents, have seen how American soldiers were torturing their prisoners, learned that there were plenty of innocent people among them, even women, and they acknowledged that this war was more about natural resources than it was about prevention, so of course they threw a fit and protested to get our boys out. Some of our politicians weren't too happy with that, but at least our democracy still functions.

If you want moral support, you shouldn't lie to your allies about weapons of mass destruction, or accuse the wrong countries of harboring terrorist organisations. (If you're after Al-Qaida, you should probably look in Saudi-Arabia instead of Iraq.) It shouldn't surprise you that your government has insulted a lot of people with its dishonesty, and that a lot of people don't trust its motives anymore. (Go figure!) Can you blame them? Honestly?

US Military: Polish Army is crap.

Well, if the U.S. army was so great, then how come the local Afghans were much happier with Dutch soldiers? What I think is crap about America's army is that they are oblivious to collateral damage, or the local population. Shooting at a bunch of civilians and children from a helicopter for example, and calling it a mistake. I'm sorry, but can't someone equip them with binoculars so they can check before they shoot up the locals? Do you think it's all just coincidence that the Afghans are getting more aggressive? I disagree with this whole war anyway, since it has little to do with terrorism, but more with natural resources.

Polonia / The Netherlands: run-down districts happy with Polish immigrants [59]

in Holland, i've seen more smashed windows

Mostly smashed by frustrated Dutch people.

I've heard that many Poles are expected to stay, i don't watch Dutch news very often anymore but i've never heard that only the upper class is interested in staying.

Ah, but there's a difference between being interested, and being *able* to stay. How do you think a Polish worker will pay his or her rent when he or she will no longer be allowed to share the rent with a dozen of co-workers? See, they can do that on a temporary basis, but if they want to settle down here they will have to register, like everybody else. (Which means no more advantages.)

;)

It's also very funny how you didn't have anything to say about the stabbings and shootings by Polish people in my region.

Have a good day Jarnowa.

He comes from Antwerp (Flanders) and hasn't had the pleasure of a basic education.

Just ''Belgian'' is insulting enough.

xD
