Love / Dating a Polish man - how to impress his mother? [51]

It's a mistake to speak poorly of his mother and ask him to straighten her out. The only thing you're going to accomplish is to create tension between you and him, and it will eventually drive him away.

My advice is to leave it alone. She doesn't live with you. You don't have to see her everyday. He loves you. He wants to ignore her comments. Why don't you ignore them, too? Seriously, leave it alone.

daytripper, I thought you were from England or Ireland in your pictures.

In the black and white picture of your mom, she reminds me of a Swedish or Norwegian woman. But in her later picture she reminds me of Zsa Zsa Gabor who is Hungarian (when Zsa Zsa was younger and beautiful).

Life / Poland: worst teeth in the world? [98]

The Unpronounceables is hilarious. I had never seen that before.


Do they actually play Polish American characters? I thought Paul Wesley plays a hispanic character. It's always like that. The Polish characters are portrayed by non-Polish actors, like probably Wysocki in The Chicago Code.

How about Vince Vaughn and Vincent D'Onofrio as Polish American brothers in The Break-Up, which also starred Jennifer Aniston?

The Chicago Code with Jennifer Beals also has some Polish American characters, including the lead character, but I've never watched the show.

There was also a Polish character in Last Chance Harvey with Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson, but he was only known as the Polish neighbor.

How on earth did this thread turn into this conversation? The original poster simply asked how to trace her ancestor's name. Weird.

Coshomre, Texas had a major wave of immigrations from Poland through one of the ports. I think it was Galveston. And the people created Polish towns and churches there (Texas). Have you investigated that? There are ship records online. You should check for names that are similar to Wilson. You might also be able to find a Polish geneology center somewhere.

Love / Do Polish women talk too much? [74]

Men are led by logic because that's what it takes to protect a family, so that the family can survive. Women are led by emotion because that's what it takes to nurture the family and care about their needs. It may be annoying but I don't think the human race would have survived if we were both led by logic or both led by emotions.

It's true, though. When there's a problem of any kind, (not even related to their relationship), women deal with it by talking about it but men can't understand that because it's their nature to try and fix the problem instead. It's how we're designed.

Men like to try and fix things. Women like to talk about things.
