Uptight Poles [262]
Smoking can be considered unpleasant by some, just like talking loudly, or having a bad breath. A considerate person would ask, "hey do you mind if i smoke?" I really don't think this is a good example of being uptight.
Aphrodisiac hun, there are better examples of how Polish people can be uptight.
edit:
I know it's hard to imagine on the forum, but part of socializing includes reading other person's body language. You can easily tell if someone is uncomfortable just by looking at them and than adjusting your behavior accordingly. Reading someones body language accurately is as important as talking.
Tip for guys, learn how to accurately read your girl's body language. She may say no, but she really means yes and than she can say no and it means no... I hope it's not too confusing.
I feel i need to add something. Polish people tend to a have chip on their shoulder, it's part of our culture. It really helps to know that. We tend to camouflage our feelings in public settings because it feels necessary. Being frank is considered by many as naive. A lot of people in Poland confuse American openness of the body language with being laid back. I hope this makes sense to you kids.
