@Ironside, sorry, but I don't know what "disce" means.
No, I'm just being realistic. From what I know women who are considered to be a desirable catch in traditional (and usually poorer) countries usually marry local men. Those who go for foreigners are likely to do that to improve their situation. Of course, if Kashub1410 is OK with that then that's his choice (a rather disturbing choice for me personally though).

@Kashub1410, but you wrote yourself that you rode a horse only once and when you were a kid :))
Besides, horse therapy isn't just about horse riding - it's more than that.
Then instead of arguing with a random woman on an internet forum :) go to a proper therapist who will get to know you well and will propose to you how to address your problems :)
Because I think that your unresolved issues (probably from childhood) may continue to sabotage your future relationships. So it's in your interest to do something about it, not mine :)
But noone can force you to do anything, of course. It's your choice.
I only gave my 5 cents and it's up to you what you're going to do with it.

They should put horses in front of various institutions and test people who desire to find employment there.

@Kashub1410, I doubt that getting yourself a desperate woman from a poor country will automatically solve your problems with women... Your insecurity and other issues may come to the surface sooner or later anyway, imho...
But you have no qualms about making sweeping generalisations about women!
He didn't "add" you to anyone. He just made a point that men cheat too.
Maybe we all do, but we're not the ones coming here complaining about having problems with relationships and the other sex :)) Don't be angry, we're just trying to give you some advice.
Btw, if you aren't mature/ready enough yet to address your issues by going to a proper therapy then maybe try this:
promises.com/addiction-blog/lessons-equine-therapy/
"Horses have a unique ability to sense emotions and react accordingly. If your are angry or aggressive, the horse may become obstinate. If you are anxious, the horse may get skittish. But when approached by someone who is open and calm, the horse is more likely to respond in kind. Witnessing the horse's response promotes self-awareness and can help people see themselves in a more realistic way."
Maybe this would calm you down a bit (because to me it looks like you're getting angry too easily).
Btw, do you have a pet at home?

History / Enemies, Strangers, Friends. Poles and Germans. [82]
I meant that "formally" Germany was a Christian society. As in - consisting of people identifying themselves as Christians and being raised in Christian faith (just like majority of Poles today identify themselves as Catholics and were raised in Catholic faith). Whether they behaved like Christians should - that's a completely different matter. And that's what I'm talking about - the fact that you're Christian (as in - you identify yourself as Christian and you were raised in Christian faith) doesn't automatically mean that you'll behave in a way a Christian should behave or that you're going to be a moral person.
As to whether or not Germany is or was a "Christian" society has long been a subject of serious debate

What and where?
This system still exists (my block of flats belongs to spółdzielnia), but flats built by them are a small percentage of the market. And I'm not sure what block of flats being "cooperatively managed" would change exactly...
So what are the stats? How many flats and houses are rented to people by "the public sector and cooperatives" and how many by private landlords or investors?

What's the difference? The person you rent the flat from is called a "landlord", yes?
Btw, Polish 86.8% (2021) of ownership is very high. It gives Poland the 6th place in the EU:
ec.europa.eu/eurostat/cache/digpub/housing/bloc-1a.html
In Germany over 50 % of the population are tenants, in Austria 46 % and in Denmark 41 %.
In Switzerland 57.8% of people are tenants.
So, in case of those countries you can say that "landlordism is a significant part of the country's housing sector". In case of Poland - not really, especially if you compare it to the rest of the EU.
In order to... live there...? You think that flats for free fall from the sky in Poland...? lol

Why 5%?
You know, eliminating renting is simply not realistic. People move around these days, they have to be able to move where the jobs are or wherever they want to go, students have to be able to rent a place if they're studying in another city and not everyone can afford to buy a flat even once they decide to settle for good in some place.
Why? Flats and houses often pass from generation to generation in Poland - thanks to this people have a place to live without having to take credit to buy a flat. How people having a place to live is "bad" for the society?
I guess it is, if 16% are renting from private landlords. 5% might be acceptable.

Nonsense. My parents inherited my city grandmother's flat after her death and we moved there and so my parents rented our old one-room flat to two students. At some point when my brother got old enough to move out, he went to live in our old flat. So, in the meantime, before my brother moved out, we were getting some extra money from renting, which was a good thing, because we weren't rich. Flats and houses in Poland usually stay in the family - they get inherited sooner or later.
Would you like to abolish family too? lol
As in, they are paid money, because they already have money.
