Feedback / Ads in posts and wrong page quantity of most threads [30]

I haven't been on the forums for a while and can't help but notice that the originally oh-so-unwanted by admin ads (google ads) suddenly appeared in every thread in the first and last post. Also, when you click on the last page number appearing next to the thread topic to read the newest post, in most cases it doesn't take you to the LAST page at all. What's that all about is it a glitch or is it some mind game to make us read the middle pages as well? Not even gonna mention the loss of avatars but hey ho. I know change is inevitable but this is like a completely different forum now, seems so cold and unfriendly. Southern aka king polkakamon has taken over virtually every subject there is, have you given up on banning him now? The lack of consistency and sticking to what's been said before is quite striking, i might be petty but it's always the small things that matter. I'm just giving you my feedback.

Love / How to convince English boyfriend to learn Polish? [39]

In any case I was more commenting on your "it was almost like he saw me as a stupid easterner" comment. It is a default attitude amongst Poles and of course you don't want to admit it. The complex is very real. Even a lot of Poles admit it. It is annoying and self perpetuating. If you had just said he was a tw@t because he didn't even try and treated you like cr@p fair enough I would have left it.

I said 'almost' i didn't say he did, hell knows what was going on in his head. Like other people said, if you love someone you wanna learn about them and who they are, not just take them for granted. I've always had a very positive response from the majority of people i met here, they loved the cousine (i cook quite a bit), the history, even the language and it's so sweet when i bump into people i worked with a couple of years ago and they can still say cześć jak się masz, and they are just friends. Some people really do make you feel like you're less important though and it's a fact, it's not just something that us Poles made up it happens and it shouldn't because at the end of the day we are equals. I'm a confident person and if i didn't care about mr. twit at the time i would never let this go, but hey they say it makes you blind, and i'm not talking about w@nking ha ha... I agree that Polish people and the beaurocracy over there are very good at making foreigners feel not welcome, i dunno about Americans but Brits can be very condescending, and even though you get some right thickos here they still think that they are more 'special' than you, it's hilarious.

If your bf doesn't wanna learn Polish Agata then you can't convince him. You can stop making an effort for him and say you don't wanna see his family in return but that's probably not gonna get you anywhere so if it's really important to you that he learns Polish you gotta have a serious talk and tell him how it makes you feel when he shrugs it off.

Love / How to convince English boyfriend to learn Polish? [39]

Do you think I felt like I belonged in Poland? You are never going to fit in a foreign place as well as you can at home

I fit in UK very well, i dare to say better than i did in Poland. Wouldn't you be cheesed off if you took your girl home and she just sat there and spoke to no one and gave you hassle? I think not. I've moved on a long time ago from the twit i mentioned above. Right now i would not form a relationship with someone with such a closed mind. Many people on here actually accused me of detaching myself from Poland alltogether and fact is i don't miss it, but i'm protective over my relatives and things we value, and i feel for someone who is in a similar situation i've been in. You attack me because you were on the other end of the stick getting grief from the Poles, which is quite surprising because if anything i'd have thought you could relate to this feeling of being treated as an outsider. Funnily enough the exes family were smashing and always made me feel welcome, he was just a twit i suppose and he had to go :) i'm happy now. This is not about me, it's about how some people treat their partners who come from a different background. If the OP's bloke expects her to see his family a lot and spend time with them, then maybe he should also make an effort so it's not just a one way street?

He was disrespectful towards me and my family and it still makes me angry. Shlould've left him on a Polish street for a couple of hours and switched my phone off, that would've been funny to watch :). I'm perfectly comfortable with who i am but when somone is an ass to people that are close to me then of course i will defend them. This attitude that some foreigners adapt when they come to a foreign country, as if everyone and everything were supposed to accomodate them, truly is one of my pet hates, and it's not just the British people that do it too.

Love / How to convince English boyfriend to learn Polish? [39]

I don't have a problem with people not wanting to learn Polish, where did i say that i expect that sort of thing? It's the attitude i don't like, this whole 'ooh it's not practical blah blah blah why should i even learn how to say hello to the parents i'll just sit there and sulk all days cos i don't understand anything'. Is it so hard to make a small effort, those little things go a long way in a relationship. Could at least freakin pretend or something i dunno, if it's only a visit. That's all i'm saying and the thread's author sounds a bit like my ex that's why i chimed in.

Well i hardly understood native Scottish people but i didn't sit there in a huff and expected that twit to help me out. I was sorta enjoying the experience. There is a massive difference between feeling lost in a foreign country and being ignorant and treating it like the worst thing that's ever happened to you. You completely miss my arguement is that deliberate or are you just too hung up on your ex and dwelling on Polish people and their supposed inferiority complex. We make an effort so why shouldn't you. It's people like you with your inflated egos and an answer to everything that make others feel they don't belong.

"You People" as in who, the immigrants? If i could make an effort to learn your language fluently then why can't you? Cos you don't have to? When we go to my country then what am i, a girlfriend or a private translator and life coach? I'm not acting like a victim and i understand Polish is a very difficult language to learn but to just snub it like that without even trying is utterly disrespectful, especially if you claim to love the other person.

Love / How to convince English boyfriend to learn Polish? [39]

When i took my idiot ex fiance to Poland to meet my family he was just as useless. He was interested in the history and the sights but i was basically expected to translate everything that's been told, even if it was not to him. He'd get paranoid people were laughing at him and would not leave my side, or even strike up a conversation with my sisters who speak English well enough to have a decent conversation. Nothing. It's like he was doing us a favour just being there. I bought him phrasebooks a few months before the trip and they were just collecting dust all that time. If i knew he will make my time there so miserable and frustrating i'd never have taken him. My family were lovely to him and tried to get him talking but he didn't wish to make an effort. He'd just sit there in a huff like an upset princess. Funny how when i went to Scotland with him he'd just bugger off and leave me with his relatives i have only just met for hours at a time, he even asked if he could sit at a table with his brother instead of next to me at his dad's wedding. He actually did when i went to the loo! All that because i could speak English so that's ok, i can fend for myself. I hate this sort of selfish, careless attitude, it's almost like he's more important because he's British and you're from some silly little Eastern European country so your needs are second best. If they don't make an effort and actually state that they are not interested to do so then to me that's alarming. If somebody's not prepared to accept me and my culture and can't be bothered to get on with my family then they can get lost. I don't expect them to learn fluent Polish or call my mother every day but if they are blatantly ignorant and throw a tantrum everytime they have to face anything to do with my heritage whilst i am expected to do all that for them without question then that is not an equal relationship. And please let me add that i am not that close with my family and never have been, but just the fact that somone can be so disrespectful to them without batting an eyelid makes my blood boil.

UK, Ireland / Work/Trade Unions in UK - thinking about joining one [9]

Me and another Polish girl are thinking about joining one of the worker unions. We are both working full time in the electronics/technical dept. Which one would you recommend? I've been thinking about GMB it looks sound, but I'm new to this subject and some help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Love / What do foreign women think of Polish men? [120]

typical bloody Pole complaining again :D

You can take the girl out of Poland but you cant taken Poland out of the Girl :D

these are my observations, as you see i tried to make them humorous as well. it's not just some dodgy rant, like the one you had about cheese, so shush :P. i don't like extreme weather as in sub zero temperatures or sweltering heat, but British weather is just so goddamn miserable...

Love / What do foreign women think of Polish men? [120]

once you finish with one topic there will come another one

we need something to moan about, it's the national hobby in Poland but other nationalities enjoy it just as much as we do :)

the weather was terrible today and you know what, some paki tried to get on the bus before me...and the price of bread has realy gone up and you know what that woman down road doesnt half wear horrid clothes and to top that I got my gas bill to day and after that I realised the nice cheese I got 2 months ago was out of date!

ha ha! talking about the weather in UK is in almost every case pointless, it's pretty much sh*t all year round (still good to moan about though). if the cheese is out of date you can still grate it and serve it melted on top of something, nobody will ever know ;)

Love / What do foreign women think of Polish men? [120]

but even the smelliest male Pole (read: will shag anythin moving) will always smell like a rose in comparison to a Polish woman who decides to date outside of the Polish sphere....hence my post!

i get your drift ;). isn't it like that not only with Polish women, but any other women though? guys always get away with dating loads of women and sleeping around, be it inside their 'sphere' or not, but when a woman does that she gets a nasty label. it's like in Christina Aguilera's song "Can't hold us down" ha ha.

You all smell of cheese and walk funny...but I suppose having a backpack strapped to your back 24 hours a day could do that to a man :D

ha ha maybe this comment killed the thread. what's with the cheese, is it curd cheese ;)

Life / Fashion and Style in Poland [174]

People on the street if I'm just walking enjoying myself, or people on the bus / tube, people in the pub...

do you get many people coming over to you to compliment you or smiling at you? like i said i like attention but only from people that matter to me, i hate judging people based on their look and vice versa, i don't wanna be judged. if someone is dressed a bit out of ordinary then i'll just casually walk past, there are some weird dressed people around here sometimes... that's how they wanna look and it doesn't affect my life in any way, i don't expect many people are after a 'reaction' either. i'm aware that i draw many looks but it's not my goal or my wish to get 'noticed' all the time. i'm not some aspiring model (too old for that anyway ha ha). i like to look good and be dressed well (i have a great wardrobe and some really nice garments) but i do it for me and my happiness, not for the others.

dressing is a social activity, a sort of one-person theatre, and if you have no audience that why live?

there is always an audience but don't expect a standing ovation every single time you 'perform' lol

Life / Fashion and Style in Poland [174]

I prefer someone to give me an outraged / surprised look than to to totally ignore me (if I know I look "different" of course).

ahh i see, you like to be noticed! attention seeker comes to mind, but i'm sure it's totally not like that :P. if a guy walks into a lamp post whilst ogling at me then of course i will take it as a compliment :)

Ofc just rushing past each other in the street is another kettle of fish.

ok cos i thought you meant people in the street, so who is it that you wanna make an impression on so much? cos if i make an effort with how i look then i suppose it is nice that other people notice it, getting evils from other girls and all that is funny too, but most importantly i want the people that matter to me to notice and compliment me, not some randoms in the street drooling or shouting from their cars...

Life / Fashion and Style in Poland [174]

I sometimes enjoy being stared at

i hate it! i often catch people staring and it makes me think i have a bit of my lunch on my face or there's something wrong with my clothes lol. if someone is staring they usually get my 'WTF' look ha ha.

I prefer people who react to me, even negatively, to people who just look straight through me (this is rude in my opinion).

so you prefer for people to go ewwww look at her than just casually walk past minding their own business??

stare

staring is rude isn't it?

they couldn't care less about your style or lack thereof

and that's the way it should be, why should you care if the person is just a random on the street? live and let live

And that's wrong? I think people who wear PJs outside their homes are seriously messed up

have i said it was wrong? to me going out for any reason wearing pjs, robes or anything inappropriate is wrong. it doesn't take long to throw some clothes on. there's been quite a dispute here recently because tescos banned people wearing pyjamas and this guy who didn't wear shoes (!) from shopping in their stores, and people are actually outraged and blame tescos for being 'stuck up'. it's funny how those chavs have the time to put on their make up and jewelry, but clothes/shoes - nope.

poland has awesome style, everyone there is soo happy and they dont care what others think of them :)

ha ha yeah right, people always stare if you look just a tad different from average. in UK some people wear flip flops and short sleeves in the winter (obviously when there's no snow) whilst everyone else is wearing coats and boots but nobody stares, in Poland they would drop their shopping bags and gasp in disbelief ha ha... funny thing is, they dress up to go to a supermarket, i mean you will never see people in their pjs (God forbid) or wellies in biedronka :D. maybe it is true that Nie szata zdobi człowieka, but they will so judge you on what you're wearing. just some of my observations. and all Polish girls try to look the same, there are hardly any individual styles.

Love / What do Asian boys think about Polish girls? :) (and vice versa) [150]

based on my other experience with many my asian guy friend, they seem really admire white girls ( include polish girl of course ), they often set white girl picture in their desktop wallpaper and cell phone wallpaper, ask me about my white girl friends, decorate their room with white girl celebrity poster, etc .

so they don't like Shilpa Shetty :)

btw it seems you're rather jealous your Asian friend fancies your 'unattractive' Polish friend but not you

They sometime just too shy and don't have any brave to ask the girl ( including the handsome miroslav klose look ha2 ). I don't know, probably their asian culture make them a little bit shy, i just think sometime that they don't realize their charm :)

ohhhhhh the things you would do to him if he asked YOU out

i can assure you that you will find gold-digging sluts in every country, not just Poland. i made a joke, hence the 'lol' at the end.

ok, an advice to you.. when a person speaks personal most likely she/he tells about herself/himself.. (my guess is that: big majority of people on the forum thinking you are a weirdo... )

i don't really say anything personal i just express my opinions and i'm pretty sure that a weirdo is the last thing people will think of me. now when it comes to you and your pathetic posts full of self pity, poor people skills and socialist bullsh*t, you're definitely in the running for the online weirdo of the year award. stop being so condescending you lousy turkish fecker and stop following me around the forum, i'm not interested in debating with you and having you hijack every thread i post in just to preach to me. f*ck off.

Love / Find a Polish girl using Internet [67]

I have money/time to come to Poland but I cannot do it often! I think I cannot depend on this!

well then how do you want to have a relationship with a Polish girl who lives in Poland? aren't you a bit selfish expecting of her to be happy with a long distance relationship, or having to move to your country? are you prepared to move to Poland?

By the way, do young polish people know english, generally speaking?

not as fluent as you perhaps but most young people will speak communicative/basic English. so the language barrier could be another obstacle and you have to narrow down your search to people who speak fluent English because it's very hard to make a relationship work when you don't understand one another. body language just won't last lol.

If somebody is trying find his/her "first love/shag" on the internet being an introvertic loner there's a really really big change of disappointment on both sides.

there are too many people like that online, they don't know what they want and there is no chance they will give you what you want.

people, if you are discrediting the internet so much, why are you talking on the net.

we are not saying don't use it, just use it responsibly and sensibly and be careful. too many weirdos like you out there.

I am not rich

Polish girls won't be interested then, sorry. Lol.

On a serious note though, you can try but you can't expect the 'woman of your dreams' to come to you if you get on with her online. What if you do meet someone like that, how can you possibly make it work if you have no time or money to make it work??

I think internet just facilitate the way someone can communicate with the other person. No guarantee for a successful ending, as it happens in the real meetings too.

that may be true but meeting people online causes more problems such as distance, risk of disappointment at first meeting, manipulated pictures, martial status, age, anything. there are still too many people out there who use the internet to conceal the REAL ME and make up this virtual persona. be careful.
