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.

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.

how would you know what they do with their clothes?

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.

It may seem like that, but it may simply mean that they cleverly mix different pieces of clothing.

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

Even you will then throw them away when they become too dated, too moth-worn or too small to fit into any more.

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. 🤷

Still, the clothes get throw them away.

Not in my family.

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

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

they look completely out of their league when you know they live with their parents or in a tiny, cheap apartment.

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

how on Earth do you keep track

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.

I only throw away clothes "if they literally fall apart"

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.

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

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.

I've seen foreign men commenting on PF that Polish women know how to shop at affordable stores

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?

in such a way as to look good.

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

You mean moth-worn because you waited too long.

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.

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.

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? :)

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

You'd have to ask those men :)

Do you stalk them and take notes yourself?

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.

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.

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

women are known for their procrastination

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

You're wrong.

men often don't know what jewelry their own wife likes

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.

you're trying to tell me that you remember every outfit and accessory that every woman you meet wears every time

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.

unless you're completely obsessed with what women are wearing (which would be very weird)

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.

Your post was about American workplace though.

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

Those men are submissive and don't question their wives about what they are buying

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.

It's not about remembering every outfit and accessory. (...) Men notice patterns and changes to them better than women.

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.

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

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.

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

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).

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:

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.

In DÅ‚ugi Targ slugfest, however, it was skinheads and hooligans who emerged victorious.
