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 :)))

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]


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.

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]


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

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]


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

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]


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.

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]


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??

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]

Sorry, but I just have to comment on this:


I only throw away clothes if they literally fall apart. If I know I won't wear some clothes anymore I either give them to my female cousins if they're in a good shape, leave them at my grandma's so they could be used when working in the field or in the garden or as rags for cleaning or I donate them to charity. It's also always been a kind of "tradition" in my family that women would leave their kids' clothes for younger kids in the family. The same with toys - they'd be passed on to younger generation. Even nowadays if I know that I won't wear some shoes and they're in a good condition I give them to my aunt who has the same shoe size as me.

My mother doesn't throw anything at all, because she's very tight-fisted.

You could say that in my family nothing goes to waste and it's the women who take care of that.

I do have some clothes that I haven't worn yet, but I don't throw them away - they're waiting patiently for their turn :)))

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]

Btw, my boss looked like a younger, prettier and slimmer version of Beata Szydło, but with blonde hair and without the usual Szydło's brooch:



I didn't know that Szydło is a "butch lesbian" :D

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]


No, I didn't write that I don't care about "harmful impact it is having on the environment" (which I'm sure is lesser than that of all the plastic that is being thrown away by both men and women :)) That comment of mine was an answer to this: "Women are still the largest segment when it comes to buying and following fashion trends."

Fashion industry provides work for many people and that's a fact.


No, I don't really know what such a f*cked up misogynist like you has in mind, so please, explain it to me :)))

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]


Not really, firstly, I asked you whether "wearing jeans and trainers when going shopping or to the park is "revolting" to you".
Secondly, when I wrote that I can't imagine my life without jeans and trainers I didn't specify when and where I wear them, so I didn't change any "setting" or "my story".


You either have no experience of living with a woman or American women differ greatly from Polish women (which I doubt that they differ that much).


I already explained it to you that I worked in a big company with heterosexual men and women working there and the boss that was directly over me wasn't a butch lesbian, but a heterosexual married woman. Do you have reading comprehension problems? :)


What a coward you are! :) Are you that ashamed of where you live? Why? 🤔

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]


LOL
Well, you're wrong, as usual :) She was married to a guy (who was an alcoholic, unfortunately) and was feminine, it's just she dressed modestly. And it was a big company, so of course there were men working there :) Her boss was a guy, for example.

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]


I didn't lose any argument and I didn't change any setting. I didn't write when and where I wear jeans and trainers. I only wrote that I couldn't imagine my life without them (as in - if they didn't exist at all) and not that I wear them all the time and everywhere o_O


That usually pertains only to menstrual pads, but I'm guessing that a guy like you who's never been with a woman doesn't know such things :)))


Depends what you mean by "revealing clothing like that". If you mean being half naked with a tape put over your breasts then I certainly haven't seen it anywhere.


Where? Where does it happen "all the time"? Do you have any real life examples from your own experience? :)


But that's not a secret - I often write where I live - Poland, Holy Cross region, Kielce :)

Now your turn - where do you live, Poloniusz? :)))

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]

@Torq, that's a pity if being a decent human being "bores" you. That's not very Christian of you.

Remember:

"So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets."
(Matthew 7:12)

I know what you mean.


Grow up.

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]


No, I think that making fun of people's looks is in bad taste and is a proof of bad character. You're simply being a bully.


I wonder how would you feel if a bunch of women would made fun of your looks :)


Yeah, it's easy to make fun of other people's looks, isn't it. Weakling.

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]


That's a low life comment. How about you post your photo, so we could have a laugh too :)


You can post your photo too, Mr Beautiful :)))

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]


No, that's what you're doing here:


Yes, really. We're discussing work place environment now and not street protests.


I asked you first. So, where do you live? Are you ashamed to admit where you live? :)

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]


It's not "pedantry". I'm honestly curious what bothers you exactly in the way people dress and why.


Wearing jeans and trainers when going shopping or to the park is "revolting" to you?? :D 🤦


Maybe in the US. I haven't noticed such a problem where I live. Where do you live, Poloniusz?


I worked in a 21st century corpo and the dress code depended on what kind of job you were doing. The management was wearing typical office attire and IT people - pretty ordinary, casual clothes - nothing inappropriate or revealing though. My female boss had short hair and wore bland office attire, no make up and no jewelry even.

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]


Yes, but "lack of modesty, courtesy, self-awareness, and taste" may mean different things to different people.


Again - this is subjective. So what does it mean to you?


I have no idea what this means. You mean wearing sportswear?


I am yet to see obese people walking in the street with their naked bellies hanging out. Is this what it's like in the US?

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]


And nowadays soldiers and police officers wear them too, so you'll have to learn to live with that, I'm afraid :)))


I will, because it's the same mentality - appearances more important than comfort and common sense.


Bullsh1t. There's still a dress code - in the street and at work and for different occasions, etc.

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]

@AntV, that is a rather general statement, so I'd appreciate some examples of what you mean. 🤔

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]


lol
Tattoos have been present in many cultures around the world for thousands of years and ignorant people like you behave as if prisoners have invented them :)))


In the past people cared more about appearances. I remember how my mother would obsess over me getting my clothes dirty when I would go out to play outside in the playground when I was a kid, because "what neighbours will think". I hated it. I felt free only at my grandma's in the countryside, because noone would see me in the yard and I could play as I wanted to.


Meaning?

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]


In what kind of neighbourhood do you live, if women there dress in a "revolting" way? lol Or better yet - which country? 🤔


You're sick from hate towards women. Get help.


So? Someone is making money on making those clothes.


It's not that I "love" them, but I simply can't imagine my life without them :)

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]


Not in Poland, imho... People here don't come to the store in the mornings wearing pyjamas :)

In all honestly however, even though I like it when people dress nice, I prefer it that nowadays comfort is more important than superficial appearances. 🤔


Eww...


Yup. Of course, those two ladies in the photo probably weren't washing them themselves - their servants were doing it for them...


Why only on women? How about half naked men on the coast coming to stores and restaurants like they're still on the beach? 🤨

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]


And ugly. Grandma clothes. 😒
Also - unpractical, because those long skirts would get dirty quickly during autumn and winter time.


Exactly.

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]

@Torq, no, I'm just bluntly expressing what I think about your comment :)

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]


Sorry, Torq, but this is a nonsense comment... That was over a centaury ago. In case you haven't noticed - a lot changed in Europe during one century lol


You mean what went wrong with your head? I don't know, you tell me - it's your head after all... 🤔

News / Referendum to decide about exotic immigrants in Poland [559]

@gumishu, not necessarily. Giving them a visa and them staying in Poland are two different things, as we found out, especially if that would happen during the period of 8 years. It would also depend on where someone lives - big city, a town, a village, etc.


Well, even in my local Biedronka I've seen in more recent years groups of young men that look like they're from Pakistan/India/Bangladesh (and I live in Kielce and not some big city like Warsaw). My guess is that they're probably students, but who knows what other people might think...

News / Referendum to decide about exotic immigrants in Poland [559]


I don't think it's as easy for an ordinary person to verify how many visas were given to foreigners or how many money were "drained from the Polish state budget by VAT fraudsters" as is looking around you and checking whether your own country in which you live is "in ruin" or not lol

Because they were stupid? I honestly don't know how anyone with half a brain could believe that "Poland in ruin" bullsh1t.
