Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread

But you don't live with one, so how would you know what they do with their clothes? :)))


I don't care what some random stranger on the internet who doesn't know me in real life "believes" when I pi$$ him or her off lol I am a woman :)


Poloniusz - the female fashion detective :D It may seem like that, but it may simply mean that they cleverly mix different pieces of clothing. I really doubt that you can tell (unless you're gay? lol).


If that's really the case then either those women are rich, or they are master sale hunters or you simply don't meet them on daily basis.

Either way - it doesn't mean that they wear those clothes once and then throw them away. I don't know any woman who would do that.


I don't know what you mean. If you mean my looks/clothes then I have long hair and wearing jeans is normal for women in my city. I also wear the right shoes for the right occasions lol

So, Poloniusz, is Beata Szydło a "butch lesbian", according to you? :D And where do you live??

LOL! If only you knew the social circles I move in! :)

There's also another option - you can rent clothes these days :) So, for example, if you have a wedding or some fancy party to attend and you don't want to buy a dress that you're going to wear once or twice you can simply rent it and give it back after the event.

I don't know. It sounds very unsanitary.


Like I said they always wear something once. This isn't an exaggeration either.

You admitted you hold onto clothes for a special occasion which will never come. Even you will then throw them away when they become too dated, too moth-worn or too small to fit into any more.

Still, the clothes get thrown away.

Whether the Polish women I know do it in the the same year or stuff them away in a closet and thrown out in another year it doesn't matter.


They are the ones vying for attention by always wearing something different. And like I said, they always look in stark contrast to how dressed down their husbands and boyfriends are or they look completely out of their league when you know they live with their parents or in a tiny, cheap apartment.

Maybe, just maybe, you are a woman because you are clearly very bothered when a man like me comes along and points out your obvious and laughable behavior to you.

It's the current year though so quit squirming over your angst of having female behavior noticed and explained to you.

I thought leftists like yourself love to deconstruct things. Obviously you don't when you are the subject of it. :)

I honestly don't know whether to believe you, because you exaggerate and lie often. Also, as I wrote - I'm guessing that you don't meet those women on daily basis.

Another thing - how on Earth do you keep track of what they wear? Do you take notes? lol


I already explained it to you, you little liar, that I only throw away clothes "if they literally fall apart". If they become too dated then I take them to my grandma's place, so they could be worn when working in the field or as rags for cleaning. Sometimes my mother uses them to sew new clothes for my little niece. And I don't have clothes moths at my place, so my clothes don't get moth-worn. I still have some clothes from my teenage and college years and I still wear winter jacket from my college years, imagine that. 🤷


Not in my family.


But you don't know what those women are doing with their clothes. You're lying.


I've seen foreign men commenting on PF that Polish women know how to shop at affordable stores in such a way as to look good. What's wrong with that? You'd rather they looked bad? Are you jealous or something? :D

Probably less unsanitary then trying on clothes in a store that were tried on by hundreds of people before. And you can wash clothes, you know lol

It's evolutionary.

Men are better than women at spotting fine details and rapid movement. Some theorize that this difference has its roots in the hunter-gatherer days when men did most of the hunting and women did most of the foraging.


You mean moth-worn because you waited too long. That's okay, women are known for their procrastination but it always comes at a cost.


I don't need to. They wear them once. Whether they toss them out that day or have collapsing closets full of stuff they only worn once is their business.

The point is they are not frugal when it comes to showing off and don't care about the impact it has on the environment, their own purse or the wallets of the men who put up with them.


How do you know where they shop? Do these foreign men stalk them and report back to you? Do you stalk them and take notes yourself?


They usually don't though.

Read my early posts in this thread about this problem and how women react negatively in public and the workplace when anyone tries to point this out to them.

From what I remember I've read it's the other way around.
Also, men often don't know what jewelry their own wife likes and you're trying to tell me that you remember every outfit and accessory that every woman you meet wears every time? lol Sorry, but unless you're completely obsessed with what women are wearing (which would be very weird) - I'm just not buying that o_O


No. As I wrote already - there are no clothes moths at my place. My clothes fall apart from me wearing them. Which happens rarely and usually only with clothes made from thin materials that I wear often.


That's really touching that you suddenly care so much about the environment :D, but don't those women work? You only ever meet non-working housewives? :)


You'd have to ask those men :)


No, but I'm guessing where they may be shopping. They may be shopping Polish fashion brands, for example, which are cheaper than Western ones.

According to you. Those foreign men I mentioned apparently have a different opinion.


Your post was about American workplace though. What American women wear is an American problem. So don't project American problems on Polish society.


No, actually it's men who are known for that - or, to be more precise - husbands :)))

You're wrong.


Those men are submissive and don't question their wives about what they are buying, why so much of it and how much money they are burning away.

Instead, they keep quite just to have some peace.


It's not about remembering every outfit and accessory.

Obviously as a woman you lack the visual acuity of men.

Men notice patterns and changes to them better than women.

That's why men are better not only at hunting but navigating, medicine, anthropology, engineering, solving puzzles, etc.

When you notice something is forever changing its appearance that's what's called paying attention.


And right on cue starts the shaming language in a desperate attempt to try to win the argument. I would say you instantly failed with that obvious ploy but you lost the moment you decided to start posting in this thread because you don't know what you are talking about and are taking this conversation in endless circles hoping something will pan out in your favor. It won't.

Remember it was a story from millennia ago which said paradise was lost because of a woman.

That story may have been a fable but look at the sorry state of it today in the feminist world.


No it wasn't. It was about any workplace found throughout the feminist West.

There are Americans living in Poland. Some even post on here and have no Polish heritage.

Polish immigration to America didn't stop in the 20th century either nor do Poles in the 21st century only go to other EU countries to study, work and settle.

Whatever upbringing you had that taught you about the world in your provincial corner of Poland simply doesn't reflect reality (past or present).

No, it looks like you're wrong, as usual:

fastercapital.com/topics/women-are-often-more-detail-oriented-than-their-male-counterparts.html


No, they are simply not interested in jewelry and don't know much about it. Normally men don't pay attention to such stuff. That's why your fixation is so strange.


Nonsense lol It is about remembering every outfit and accessory, and not about some kind of "patterns" lol Either they wear a new piece of clothing and accessory every time or not. And you can only know that if you remember every outfit and accessory. But thanks for confirming that you're full of sh1t, liar.

I'm not "shaming" you to win an argument, it's simply a fact that your obsession with what women wear is most defenitely not normal for a heterosexual man.


But you don't know what every workplace in the West looks like, let alone in Poland. You only know American workplace. And most probably even in case of American workplace - I'm guessing that you're full of sh1t.


I live in Polish reality here and now and that's what I can talk about. You can only talk about American reality (which is probably skewed by your hatred towards women anyway).

A selection of delightful outfits that any lady would be happy to wear :) and they can be easily run up on a sewing machine during your free time!

This time I don't want to provoke any controversy and legthy discussion, like the photo in post #663 did, so something pretty neutral...

Poland in a nutshell: 2024



Cross, speed camera, kurwas and birch trees.

*ducks and runs*

Ahhhh, home!

mushroom pickers?

More like forest mammals (ssaki leśne haha).

Muahahahaha

It is curious, isn't it... Polish right-wing men are always so vocal about abortion, for example, but I've never heard them advocating for forbidding prostitution in Poland :D

Even a conservative right-wing politician Patryk Jaki considers a forest being littered with condoms thrown away by clients of prostitutes a "funny issue" and says he "has to" take care of it only because his voters want this to be dealt with :) I wonder how many prostitutes he frequented himself :))):

In the meantime - the same guy about abortion :D:

Pearl of the Renaissance: 2024



The Old City of Zamość, UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a crowning achievement of Renaissance urban planning and belongs to the most magnificent ensembles in the world.

Also a fortress.

You can see the well maintained embankments, walls and triangular fortifications around the city in the second photo you posted.

Indeed...

Une petite dispute: 1992



90s wasn't a decade, it was a state of mind. In the photo above we see the event that took place in Długi Targ (Long Market Square) in Gdańsk in 1992 when skinheads and hooligans decided to settle a dispute with anarchists, probably over who should get a literary Nobel Prize that year, with the use of chains, knives and metal bars.

Grape harvest: 1936



Grape harvest in Państwowa Szkoła Ogrodnicza (State Gardening School) in Zaleszczyki.

🤣🤣. Who won?

The Nobel Prize? Derek Walcott, just like the anarchists predicted.

In Długi Targ slugfest, however, it was skinheads and hooligans who emerged victorious.

Well deserved.

An odd thing to fight over. Who did the thugs want to win?

Dame Barbara Cartland.... they really thought it was her year.

@mafketis
😀

She was cheated out of that prize.

She should have got it for volume alone and all the skinheads love her.
