After the thread of how to please Polish men, I am curious on how to please Polish women. Since they are women and most women are very hard to please, I would like to know :)
As a foreign married and divorced to a Polish woman.......
Short answer is you can't
Long answer is;
Be respectful to her parents,
Go to parties held by her friends even if they they are very boring, same applies to dancing,
Go to bed when she does, dont spend all night watching dvds or surfing pûrn,
Don't play computer games at all (except for nintendo wii and then play only very sparringly),
Go shoe shopping with her, it will be painful but endure.
Same applies for cloth shopping and household furniture
It is ok to go drinking with the boys as long she can do the same
When watching a movie let her choose and endure the chick flick,
Wedding planning - let her plan everything, expect her to invite her extended family and friends, you will get 10-20% of the places to fill up, use these carefully
If she makes fun of her religion, don't follow and NEVER EVER CRITCISE THE POPE (the Polish one I mean, it is ok to say what you like about Ratzinger)
Same applies about her home country but does not apply about your country at all
If you are lucky and she gets pregnant, she will be in control, so will be her mother, any sisters, and female friends. You will barely register any inflence
As a young mother she will retain control, your job now is to carry things and put up with any comments she makes. He views (for example small children 'need' wooly hats in the middle of the summer) will out rank yours
In public back her up if she is in the wrong even if that makes you look foolish, it is far more preferable to the rage you will have to endure later
Never ever criticise her in public
Never ever criticise her FULL STOP
What you earn is for the family. What she earns is for herself. So remember this when she is buying shoes or ridiculous over priced cosmetics
Yes Polish women are princessy demanding and high maintenance
Would I go for one agian? Possibly
