Life / Why do people think that I'm Polish ? [92]


When people tell me that I look Polish I take it as a compliment (I'm 1/2 Polish, 1/2 Russian and all American). Perhaps it's your refined manners that give away your Polishness?

Life / Why do people think that I'm Polish ? [92]


Ok,ok, you talked me into it. I live in Chicago and I'll buy (you) dinner. You don't mind being seen with an aging but sprite lothario, right?

Life / What Polish people think about the Italian and Spanish men? [39]

(We) think that Spanish and Italian men (and women) are wonderful but our favorites are ambidextrous Brazilians who are 1/4 Aboriginies, 1/4 Macedonian, 1/4 Inuit and 1/4 Hmong. We 'feel' those are the best people.............

Love / Woman 23, man 47 years old. What do you think about ? [162]


She's too old for him.

Life / Is the word "Polack"rascist? [185]


I suggest you drop that since it is such a negative connotation about Poles. Tell 'em your German when you do something dumb..........

Food / Polish Duck Soup [117]

Czarnina

I loved it when I was a little kid. Then when I found out what it was I never touched it again.

What a nice treat, thank you.

Life / What is the reason for POLISH jokes ? [486]

When I was a kid (hundreds of years ago), I grew up listening to Bohemian jokes. When I met someone who was Czech I took a good look at him and wondered what was different.

Nothing was but children are impressionable and that's where the ethnic joke is sociologically dangerous.

I rarely hear "Polock jokes" today. About 20 years ago in Las Vegas, I was listening to a comedian who started telling them. I shouted from the audience "tell me the same joke about yourself". The audience was quiet and the comedian asked if I was Polish. I told him "yes, now let's see how funny you are". I was surprised when he apologized.

A few people in the audience applauded (don't know if they were Polish or not).

Genealogy / Red Hair - recessive gene from Poland? [108]

I may be mistaken but I recall reading somewhere that 4% of all Poles are red heads.

Well, Ronald McDonald is a red head and he's doing well...........

Genealogy / Red Hair - recessive gene from Poland? [108]


That's just an excuse. Maybe I 'feel' that ex-blonds need more drugs; well, I did before shaving my head.

Life / What is the reason for POLISH jokes ? [486]


Black comedians in particular can and have spoken in the most insensitive way. Whether it's sex, or the "N" word, or characterizing people, there has been an allowance for them.

Only relatively recently have rappers come under (some) attack.

Love / WHY DO POLISH MEN LIE? [150]


Some men lie because women use them "for their money or want rich men".
Now stop PMS'ing.

Work / Salary expectations in Poland [373]

I plan to visit Poland for the first time in 2010. Doubt if I'll live there but am curious to know how far $5000 a month (pension) will go. I speak Polish and have some cousins there.

Life / Polish stereotypes of other nationalities!? [472]


Glaswegians doesn't know much history. It's true that some Polish forces were still fighting after one month in Poland. Additionally, Poles never became like the Vichy French and Poles had substantial armed forces fighting Germans in other theatres not to mention the RAF. Paris never had a anything like the "Warsaw Uprising".

Amazing what people don't know and yet develop their opinions on.

Study / American Muslim girl thinking to go to Medical school in Poland... [87]

If you wear a burka just tell them it's a babuska.

Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]

As a Polish American I like the Scots too but I don't know why. Maybe because my middle name is Wallace.

You must be taking 'smart' pills. Careful, they are habit forming.

History / Poland's King Jan III Sobieski - the stopper of Turkish Janissaries! [64]


I took my then Italian girlfriend to that show at the Art Institute. It must have been 10 years (1999?) ago. A documentary film was also featured that showed Polish hussar history and the Vienna battle.

The "Lion of Lehistan" kicked a lot of butt in his day. Prior to the battle of Vienna, Jan was in charge of 14 previous battles. Some of his adversaries refused to fight him.

Maybe it's you.


Try Greenland.

Maybe you matured. Maybe your 'vibes' changed. Maybe you stopped wearing big clown shoes, who knows?

Our persona affects how others see and react to us.

Just part of my charm. Anyway, good luck partying...

Life / 80% of Polish people are boring or can't party, why? [179]

"80% of Polish people are boring"

Overall 90% of all Europeans are boring so the Poles are beating the average.

Love / What to wear when trying to pick up girls in Poland? [58]

I'ts not so much what you wear but how you wear it. Nevertheless, as a previous poster has already suggested; women are interested in the thickness of a man's wallet first and foremost. That's more sad for the women than for the men for a variety of reasons.

History / The Celts in Poland. [71]

We're all related.

History / The Celts in Poland. [71]


Absolutely true but I was going farther back than that. It is probable that 10,000-20,000 years ago we were related. Of course you might 'feel' closer to your other nationalities that have immigrated to Ireland? Perhaps the Nigerians? Chinese?


I also oppose "political correctness" (PC). You are a staunch nationalist. Good luck with that.

Love / WHY DO POLISH MEN LIE? [150]

They learned from their mothers.

Love / WHY DO POLISH MEN LIE? [150]

When talking about lying please note that women are more deceptive than men. Think about it.

Who wears the makeup?
Who um, pads certain body parts?
Who colors their hair?
Who buys ridiculous amounts of shoes? clothes? etc.
Who asks, "do I look fat in (fill in the blank) this?" (and wants a dishonest answer)
Who says "I only look at a cookie and gain 10 pounds" (that's a lie you know)

Yes, yes, there are a relatively few men who fit the above description but the male gender numbers pale to those of women (don't lie to yourself now).

Love / WHY DO POLISH MEN LIE? [150]


The head doesn't lie, it's honest.


Women not happy? Oh, then they lie 95% of the time.


Is that how women are without make-up, ....etc? ...in their natural state? You are too cruel to women.


That's a lie. (Mother Theresa didn't lie, or wear make-up or color her hair, hmmm, might be something there).

Love / WHY DO POLISH MEN LIE? [150]


Wearing warpaint is not lying. It is telling enemies, "look out here I come". In fact, warpaint is an outfront warning. No deception there. As a woman you probably don't understand these kinds of things.


Do you really want to compare how many women pad their bras to the relatively few men (I haven't met any) who do what you suggest? Puh-lease, not even close.


Again, I've previously, in my initial post pointed out that a 'few' men use hair coloring products compared to women. Isn't it amazing how many women are blonds (or redheads) compared to men? Women spend 20 times more on such products than men, and just look at how many advertisements there are for women compared to men when it comes to hair coloring, clothes, shoes, etc, etc. It's not even close.

No Kapusta, women are obviously more deceiving and by a wide margin than men. All one has to do is look around. This begs another related question. Why do so many women dress in such a manner as to be 'sex objects'? What kind of put-on is that? Don't women have free will and use their common sense or will you blame men for that too?

Love / Is Indian/Polish relationship possible? [370]


Poles are pretty much like most everybody else; oh, perhaps in general they are better looking but that shouldn't count.


Well, your business men that come to Poland are so colorfully dressed. It's always great to see their beaming suits.


...because Poland is trying to start up 'Krakowood'.


There's not enough love in this room.


Poland makes the world's best sex toys.


Left field.


Don't forget turbans.


No but Poles prefer their hearts over "guts", sometimes livers too.


Hey, we worked hard over many generations to lighten up.


If they're half Polish is the distance cut in half ?

By the way, I'm throwing a party this weekend, can you come?
