This is Marysia in the film "Poszukiwany, poszukiwana" (1973), one of my favorite comedy films, a film directed by Stanisław Bareja. A perfect description of the PRL years, a film that is becoming even better as the years pass on.

For exactly the same reasons WHY the defenders of Alamo, KNOWING THE OUTCOME, did.
But first, they lost at Alamo. The same happened to Poland. First she lost and later she won, if you havent noticed. LOL
I don't believe the state of Texas is twice as big as Poland just as I don't believe that the Earth is round, but first of all I don't believe that Rich Mazur is a son of Polish scientist Marian Mazur.

I think the same. Internet fora are like the PF will not provide any help for people with such problems. A professional councillor is needed, if not for the partner, then for the person who is complaining.
I suspect the OP is nothing more than a troll who wants to get some amusement from the thread. The following phrase gives him away:
The problem just cannot be specific to "Polish women", but is a problem that just an individual person may have irrespective of their nationality . No need for the OP to be more specific. He is just a troll.
the whole thread is BS and I would advice OP to be more specific

Actually, Lechites is the name attributed to Polish tribes as an entity. There wasn't an individual Polish tribe which united with other Polish tribes to form Poland.

These days - yes! But for the generation one or two earlier than the parents of today names such as Franciszek will always be associated with elder people. My grand-dad's name, for example, was Franciszek, and my great grand-mother's name was Franciszka. Thus, I have always thought these names were meant for very old people only!
The name of my grand-dad's father was Kacper and it is also a name that has been revived recently.
Frank is Franciszek (Franek ) - very popular now.

I shall perhaps remind everyone that an old-fashioned, slightly ironic, Polish name for the penis is "wacek". I have recently seen the word in this context in "LALKA" by Bolesław Prus, a novel first published in Warsaw in 1890. At the same time 'Wacek' is a male name.

History / Communism fell 20 years ago, Poland led the fight since WW2 [341]
The main celebrations of the 4th of June event will take place in Gdańsk today. On that occasion one of the oppositionists in the PRL Zbigniew Janas talked in Radio ZET this morning about Lech Kaczyński telling him of the talks in Magdalenka and during the so-called Round Table.
- Lech Kaczyński was proud of having taken part in those events, said Zbigniew Janas. If today we talk about Magdalenka in terms of treason, we insult the memory of Lech Kaczyński, he added.
Mr. Janas went on to describe the recent exhibition in the famous BHP room of the former Lenin shipyard in Gdańsk. - Everything on that exhibition led to that "infamous" "Magdalenka treason" - he said. How do you think - whose picture was missing there on the exhibition? - asked Mr. Janas. The picture of Mr. Lech Kaczyński who was taking part in the talks of Magdalenka. That's how history can be falsified and re-written anew - concluded Zbigniew Janas.
