Life / The Polish Wedding - What is it Like in Poland? [338]


That's basically a real polish wedding. No wedding in the U.S., even if it is a polish couple, compares to a wedding in Poland.

Imagine being a kid with your birthday, Halloween, Christmas, and every day off of school during a single year wrapped up into one event.

Love / They seem nice, but could Polish girls be "gold diggers"? [196]


Thanks for the tip preacher. I also got more tail than I can handle for 10+ years, and the one that spoiled me, was a beauty queen.


Maturity. It doesn't exist in most young people. You don't appreciate things, you're not grateful, and you take advantage of stuff. Before 25, I went from one girl to another. It happens at a different age for everyone, but for me it was around 25 when I began to settle down mentally, build relationships with people, etc. My point is in reference to maturity.

Regardless, I honestly don't see much to analyze here. She over 30, and is a grown woman. Sounds like a bad apple.

Not quite, as I listed a very brief Cliff Notes version of my story, but regardless, she wanted to spoil me. Anyway, maturity didn't begin to settle in for me until about 25. Prior to that, I wasn't thinking about what it means to be a real man or anything along those lines. I was a boy, mentally.

That was at 22.

Maturity means a lot, and most people I know prior to 25 were not mature. Prior to 25, that wasn't really dating for me, as I fell in love with a new girl every other week. At 25 some kind of switch went off in me.

That's a good point. I did the same thing before (once), but it was a woman who was paying for everything. It evenutally led to the point where:

1 - I would invite my friends out, as she would pay for everyone's drinks, etc., and eventually
2 - Me viewing her as my sugar moma (she was younger) who will take care of everything.

In the end, I became ungrateful, spoiled, and above all, lazy. In the beginning of our relationship, I was not like this at all - in fact, I was taken back by the idea of her paying for something on more than an occasional basis. But set a precedent, and the dynamics of the relationship change.

Oh, and she wasn't polish, but man, she spent thousands upon thousands on me. It all went to my head.

Food / What is your favorite Polish Vodka? [653]

Wujek's bimber, or tato's spyrytus z rhombarar i mlud.

Commercial would be sobieski

Off-Topic / What's your connection with Poland? Penpals. [554]

Born in Chicago, IL to 100% Polish immigrants. Know every single tradition, culture, and am fluent in reading, writing & speaking. I will never let go of my heritage, but I have fully assimilated into american culture as well in order to succeed here. It's a good balance, but night and day between my personal life and career.

My dad came alone when he was 27, but his brother (my uncle) was right on his tail. My mom came with her entire family when she was 14 (much earlier than my dad of course as they are 6 years apart).

My parents met in the States, and were introduced by my moms uncle. Married a few months later.

My dads sister (my aunt) came to Chicago, worked for 2 years, hated it, then went back to Poland. My mom's parents returned to Poland a couple of years later as well.

I've been to Poland a good 4-5 times for extended periods. Outside of my dad's brother (unlce), my dad's entire family still lives in Poland. They had opportunities to leave, but didn't want to. We speak with family in Poland regulalry, and we have family & friends from Poland visit quite often around the Holidays (every other year or so).

My mom's entire family is in the States, but I have no clue where half of them are as they got into the wrong crowd and the rest is history...

History / Whom do the people in Poland hate more: Germans or Russians? [869]

Russia, hands down.
