Life / Are Polish Women very promiscuous towards foreigners and refugees? [197]

When did I ever mention that I believed Polish or other Eastern European women were ******??

How do you call this?

during Communism, these women quickly developed ways of "dealing with" recalcitrant authorities, usually in the form of bribery and the exchange of sexual favors to get what they wanted.

"white trash" are simply called "poor people"

I wouldn't say so. Poor is poor. 'White trash' 'patologia', 'chavs' and all the similar expressions around the world usually refer more to a certain part of the poor people.

Btw you are correct that white trash is not used in Poland.

Love / Cheating from spouses. Is cheating very common in Poland ? [116]

I don't care much about vibes, being tense or whatever.

Your problem is that you are trying to find a partner and that means you have to convince people you are a person that they would enjoy in their life. And they are not mind readers.

While obviously you have to stay yourself and find somebody who wants the real you you also have to accept that how you come across is very important for at least a year of knowing each other

when you don't know somebody well.

True but I would say it allows waaaay more passion than British .

You are sad and lonely

Not at all.

I just like to work ( not crazy career or anything just being productive) and like being independent even more.

And I also believe all members of family deserve the same respect unless they do something that is not respect worthy.

go for marriage, skip dating

Arranged marriage?

I have to set certain boundaries somehow

So you use emotional blackmail (as that what it sounds like to me) and when they don't cave you try to get back to them as if nothing happened?

When somethingis a clear cut boundaryfor yoy

Health relationship need to be based on a man financial stability and woman's real respect of the man.

Because that's the model you want. Go ahead and be happy.

I earn my money and I have the same respect for man as for women.

How about that?

Possible but unlike you we are not talking about not fitting in, having problems finding a partner, troubled relationship with mother etc. Your posts suggestyou have some hard time socially.

Also interestingthat you skipped about the part when I pointed out you have quite specific expectations of women yet don't give them the right to have expectationsof you.

Aren't you too old to take it personally?

I'm not. I just said what I think about comments like that.

And what you call unbalanced I'm calling women finally not taking any crap.

As to the advice about money and going foreign- nothing speaks love and loyalty like 'hey, have a look at my bank account .

after countless abandonments and no lasting romantic relationship

Braking up is not the same as cheating or not being loyal to your partner.

As we spoke about relationships before I am aware of your 'checklist' for a women- why is it so hard to understand that you may not meet the girls checklist?

But I second Paulina. I think you could use therapy.

Hahaha, pathetic

Better pathetic than obese :P Today I will have some extra as I'm planning on having a pint while watching volleyball.

You are on the wrong forum

There have been some nice discussionsabout books here.

Have you ever skipped through descriptions because you were so curious at what happens next?

Off-Topic / What's your connection with Poland? Penpals. [571]

I am,pointing out that in Poland ability to speak foreign language is strengly obsessed over.

Always was and probably always will be. It's also part of our obsession with 'West' I think.

Hard not to agree though that a truly educated person should know a foreign language and it's useful to be able to talk to people without interpreters. When Tusk got the Brussels position he noticed it would be useful and despite his age started learning. Put the effort in, ignored the ridiculing of his first attempts.

I personally admire that.

Off-Topic / Things We Love [288]

Which ones?

In UK it's usually cheese and onion. That's my go to. I like salted ones as well. Thai sweet chili. I also like skips etc.

In Poland Lays 'Pikantna papryka' rules. If they have them at Polish shop when I visit (which is not too often) I buy them. Problem is I usually eat them as snack at work and that is calculated into my daily intake. They don't do small Lays so I eat them at the weekend and eat way to much. I try too share so it's better.

I love books. I love it when the story captures you and no matter what you do you try to read 'just few more words'. Even when walking :)

People that know how to enjoy a meal in silence

I like to eat on my own as a treat but eating with people I like talking and laughter.

I love sitting outside on a warm sunny day with people around. It may be a bench at a playground or beer garden with people having fun.

Crisps

No, it is not. But if you add that he never lived abroad , doesn't seem to even go on holiday to different countries etc. It may give him very closed perspective.

And knowing foreign languageswas always a big part of being properly educated in Poland.

Law / Can a tenant change locks to house without giving access to the landlord [37]

Oh my, what a nice picture of cultural misunderstanding.

So Jon, Paulina doesn't understand what you are saying because the market is so differentin Poland.

@Paulina- private renting market has quite significant drawbacks.

Pumping the prices, insecurity for families etc.

In UK unless at some point you get something from the council/housing association you have 2 choices: buy or have a private landlord.

Private landlords e.g. kick their tenants out if the rent in the area rises a lot ( like now) and look for new one so they can have the higher rent.

Family may be renting property for over 10 years and yet get 2 months to move out.
If you split with your partner many agencies ask you to reapply for the property and you may not get it if they think your financial status is at risk.

Love / Relationship Issues with my polish girlfriend advice needed [76]

It's the classic female infidelity model...

That is funny as I'm yet to meet a guy that would live his long term partner because the relationship doesn't and not because they have someone on the side.

And it's not the point in this case anyway.

Love / Relationship Issues with my polish girlfriend advice needed [76]

just not loving a non-abusive, non-mentally ill or non-addicted spouse is not a good enough reason

But that lack of love has a lot of influence on other things. Including the kids. Parents for example treat a kid inappropriately. Making them their 'buddy' against the other parent, or a semi-partner.

And then at what stage can parents brake up? What is the age?

I heard about quite a few instances when it was the growing up kids that told their parents to let it go finally e.g. know a guy who told his mother she should divorce when he was 14 (non abusive, not ill etc)
