Love / Surplus of single women in Poland? [25]

Thanks for that information, Dominic, it's much appreciated.

I've taken a look at the linked document you gave me, but couldn't help wondering what the overall nationwide ratio of marriageable ladies in the 20-34 age range is, i.e. once you take the average figure which will include the excess of males living in predominantly rural areas. Doesn't the lack of women in the countryside in this age bracket cancel out the surplus of women living in the major cities?

OK, but if what you're saying is correct then this must surely have consequences for the dating market in Poland: Does it follow that guys can then be pickier with women as a result? Do you often see women "dating down", i.e. objectively prettier women dating guys who are less good-looking than they are? And do you have personal experience of dating in Poland in this regard?

Personally-speaking, coming from the UK it's hard to imagine what it must be like for an average guy if Poland really does have more women in the fertile, marriageable age bracket than it does men, given how severe the competition is for women here in England. For example, I recently read that there are at least 150 single men for every 100 single women in the 34-40 age bracket. From my own experience, this is surely an underestimate in many parts of the UK. As a consequence, it's not an unusual sight to see overweight women together with slim, good-looking and tall boyfriends. If what you assert is right, then I'd expect to see the reverse trend in Poland - is this the actually the case?

Sure, but when that high-flying, well-educated Polish guy reaches British or American shores, he's going to be in for one hell of a shock as far as the money- and celebrity-obsessed, frumpy yet insanely picky local British women are concerned, unless he's rich/extremely handsome, which most Polish guys I've encountered in the UK certainly aren't. Isn't he then going to be sorely tempted to return to Poland at some point to try to find a more attractive partner/wife and this will balance out the surplus of women somewhat in the future?

But the situation you described is actually the opposite we have in the UK, where the guy is often much better educated, with a broader range of intellectual interests,than his partner who is more concerned with celebrity gossip magazines and trashy TV, such is the malign influence of the US on British cultural life in recent years coupled with a surplus of single men competing for an increasingly stuck-up and entitled, not to mention an often obese, population of scarce women. If you're a single Polish guy thinking about coming to the UK and maybe in time finding a partner here, please think again - you don't realize how good you have it in Poland.

Incidentally, are there any Polish guys on here who have experience of dating UK women? How would you compare the two countries as far dating is concerned? Would you agree that finding suitable British women to date, especially if you're an older guy around 40, is much more difficult in England than in Poland? I'd be fascinated to hear what your opinions are on this topic.

No doubt that is true - it's the same with evaluating the pros and cons of a country itself, but it's hard to imagine the net result being worse than what is the case for most men in the UK at the moment and I'm prepared to take my chances in that regard by spending some time in Poland soon to verify the reality for myself.

So, to return to the original question: If there is a surplus of ladies living in the major urban centres of Poland, which cities have the largest surplus? I have heard Wroclaw mentioned once before in this connection, although I have no reliable statistics in terms of a league table, as such. Does anybody on here have any experience of living in a particular city and finding that such a surplus is evident "on the streets" as it were - I am thinking here of the 30-40 age range?
