She's a pear-shaped girl, nothing wrong with that. I'm pear-shaped too and I'm Polish (although you definitely won't find me drunk like that. alcohol = gross)
Spot the UK "lady" after a night out that went horribly wrong. Eeeuuuwwwwww.

Yup, there's nothing wrong with my body or that girl's body. The only thing wrong in that picture is that she's **** drunk and as you said, that could easily be a Polish (or any other nationality) girl.

LOL no! Those pics were taken in Toronto during the summer when I had time to boogey. Although the thought of me singing or acting (in Polish no less) is hilarious in a frightening way.

Born in Poland but moved to Canada when I was four. I speak Polish but its pretty badly butchered. I can read and understand Polish pretty well though.
We just had a snowstorm today in Toronto :)
Also I wanted to add re: pear shapes -> Pear shaped women are actually quite healthy as when they gain weight it is in their lower body area instead of the waist. Both men and women that gain weight in the waist area are more likely to acquire health problems. The drunk girl has a small waist and is probably pretty healthy (I would know because I'm like her but taller and sober)
you don't speak polish then?? lol, so are you half polish/canadian??

nah, its not nearly as difficult for a child to learn new languages as it is for older immigrants going to a new country.
Vodka has got to be the worst tasting alcohol ever :). I'll stick to wearing seven sweaters.
Isn't that quite the double standard? Guys can drink until they've fallen like idiots and sustained head injuries (and yes, I actually do know a few of these dolts) but when women do it, its unattractive. Does that girl look like she cares if some guy on PF finds her attractive? I highly doubt it.
it must be weird learning your own language, lol, i mean i couldn't imagine being english and living in spain from age four and having to learn english :)

Whatever it takes to stay warm :) Btw, we had a huge snowfall yesterday afternoon and it hasn't ended yet.
Here both sexes are drunkards. Have you ever heard of a 'keg stand'? Its when you drink from a keg almost upside down while two people are holding your legs. That's the kind of sh*t thats normal here at house parties in Canada and the US. People actually pride themselves on their keg standing abilities. I really haven't heard about people complaining that women do it in the UK.
wow that is a lot of layers, surely you shrink in all those clothes, lol :)

Snow is only fun until you have to drive somewhere. Thats usually when the cursing begins :)
See, until then you guys can't complain about how 'unfeminine' and 'drunk' your UK girls get. Its really difficult to out-trash a keg stand. Keg stands get people drunk faster than they would be if they were drinking right side up, which means that they're puking sooner also.
that is so kool i'd love a snow storm here in the uk it would be so good to have all that snow to play in :)

Life / Why are Poles always so miserable? Why do they never smile? [512]
This made me laugh because I'm picturing someone leaving their house with a big smile on their face the entire time. Who does that?
I find people in Poland to be happy and laid back (sometimes a little too laid back).
I do admit that my grandmother will never smile in a picture. She wants people to think she's a serious woman, lol
I'll never get this "miserable" thing. It's an unnatural thing to walk about with a big grin on your face so therefore most people will not be smiling when you see them, particularly if they are alone.

Life / Poles are not racist [873]
?????
I'm pretty sure there is! I love Poland and all, but there needs to be serious work done regarding the racism there. I don't just mean whenever there is a minority to put them on TV to pretend that Poland is multicultural, I mean a serious overhaul to get rid of the racism that exists there.
The fact that people still use 'murzin' (probably spelled that wrong) is pretty telling that racism exists. There's also a distrust/hatred of gypsies and Jews that exist in many places.
There's no racism in Poland.

It just feels really really wrong to pretend that everything is perfect. You can't fix a problem if you pretend not to see it.
It totally does, if anyone reads Amnesty International reports they will see how bad the racism is. Gypsies getting beaten, or refused entry into elementary schools, etc.. (oops, I should probably call them Roma, not Gypsies).
How many posts have we seen on PF where a Polish girl is saying that she wants to date a Black guy but her parents will freak if they find out?
Thats because it became illegal (ie anti-discrimination laws) a long time ago, and new generations of people are moving beyond it. Thats what Poland needs - to move on from the current mentality.
i like you because your a realist and unlike a lot of the people on here you recognise the problem in your motherland.

Poland as far as i know has a big racial problem, its not the only country, however i'm talking on a polish forum to polish people. As i have said in other posts i know of Polish people who are racist, they are my friends yes, although that does not mean i have to agee with their views. People who are racist i think are just ignorant of other cultures, countries and life in general.

And it doesn't make you laugh that people go on to the forum to complain about 'polonophobia', Poland's history etc..?
Another way of saying 'forum' is 'discussion board', meaning that people are going to be discussing their opinions. Someone made a post saying that there is no racism in Poland, and that's their right to think so. However, I have a different opinion and experience and so I posted my thoughts on this topic. Because people have a differing opinion they shouldn't be discussing it on a forum? How high and mighty of you!
Maybe you'd be right on this one if I would have been arguing from pages 1-21. I'm simply posting my opinion, as is Tornado, as I'm sure you do also.
Both of you make me laugh. You talk about racism, yet you talk about it on a forum and think that will somehow change things. If you are so worried about racism in Poland, go over there and paint slogans, go to demonstrations..

No problem :)
Pole is just so asexual (and I'm supposed to be a feminist :p)
The topics are worthwhile discussing according to whom? So its okay to complain about the way that Polish people are treated in other countries but its not okay to complain about how Polish people treat others in Poland?
Yes, there definitely is racism in Canada today but the government actually tries to put a stop today, and racial slurs are generally condemned. Poland isn't the only country in Europe thats racist,( not even close! - I could go on and on about Germany and Italy) however, the topic of this particular thread is the racism in Poland. I do believe that Poland has this more deeply ingrained than does Canada or even the UK. Why pretend its not there? It just sounds counter-productive to me.

Tornado, the UK has had horrible racist driven crimes lately... Poles racism is much more innocent, more likely driven by curiousity. Like for example, an old Pole sees a black man for the first time in his life.. of course he will stare at him..

You've never heard a Polish person utter 'murzin' or 'mosiek' or something about tzyganki? And there are plenty more. I've even seen murzin in a Polish TV Show not that long ago.
"and hopefully never will", interesting, you don't like the idea of immigrants coming to Poland?
Thats good because as a dual citizen, I can complain about Poland's racial problem all I want.
Aren't you half Polish? Technically, I'm more Polish than you (100% if thats even possible, and born there) :)
Europe is part of the 'West'.
Canada is pretty bad with the Natives, there's no denying it. Just like there's plenty of racism to go around in Poland.
Its not about hating men, its about being equal.....but dammit, I don't want to be a Pole, I want to be a Polka! lol

The master only has the 'power' as long as the puppies are interest. Once their interests move on to the next 'master', this master is left with nothing. This is why nothing good can come from being overly proud of one's looks.

The whole 'Polish Personals' section weirds me out! The world is full of people, why seek them out online? But then, you always hear these stories how people met, fell in love, got married, and it turns out one of them is a serial killer. I haven't been in that situation myself, but I imagine there would be signs. Some people will see what they want to see, and this is whether they met online or anywhere else.
Although, sometimes its easy to spot a psycho on here because of their writing styles. They feel comfortable enough to be themselves because no one knows them. The flip side to that is that it can be easier to disguise your personality because you're not showing facial expressions, body language etc..
You're young still, and probably like all the 'attention' from the men here, which is fine, but you should definitely be careful about it. The 'power' I refer to is this idea that women feel like they're controlling the situation because the men are specifically looking at them; you control their gaze. However, once the gaze moves onto the next woman, you have lost the sense of 'power'. You can never be fully confident in yourself when you depend on the attention that men give you due to your looks.
I have nothing personal against you, panienka.

Panienka is a beautiful girl, no doubt about it. Nothing wrong with being beautiful and making the best of it. It can become a problem (especially for women) when they depend on it.
just thought, a problem that sometimes strikes me is, how to girls/women on this forum, depict the weird, stalkerish, puppy sort a guys from the normal ones.

I can only claim to be normal i guess as i cannot prove it myself and it could only be resovled by others statements.
