Life / Doctors taking bribes in Poland [76]

Wroclaw Boy
its common here if you dont pay an incentive (shall we say) you get crap service period or back of the line.

Emmm..... Common? I know a lot of doctors who don't take bribes.
Don't listen to people' opinions. If you intend to give it, you will do it.
So, try not to give it and expect as good treatment as without giving bribes. doctors earn enough to live.

Life / Polish "Mall Girl" Culture? [125]

Firstly: Do the author of this thread know what does a world "culture" mean?

It's just outregous title of a thread again."Kultura polskich "*******" or "mall girls."It is not a culture. It is not (whats more) also a pop cultur. It makes prostitution or sponsoring a kind of "culture".

I wonder if mods react at title of threads.
This one is just ridiculous for me.
Secondly: This just a way of life some empty silly and immature women or girls.

No comments except this one above.

Life / Polish "Mall Girl" Culture? [125]

exiled
This is only because prostitution in CR is legal.Many polish pros work in Germany,in the UK,Netherlands etc.
Sponsoring is not exactly prostitution.Many girls choose the guys they want to be with,they don't fall for everyone with money.

It is exactly prostitution
Do you count them? Where?
Do they have a Polish flag or "Polo cocta" as a sign: I'm wating for ALFONS??? (sugerdaddy)
Are you sugardaddy exiled?

trevek
It's the church's fault for not doing more to appeal to these girls.

what????
Is church responsible for prostitution? LOL

Love / Do Polish women have bad tempers? [49]

Levad

My Polish girlfriend threw me out after I e-mailed her about how much I was hating things lately.

One of possible Polish girl interpretation:
"He hate things He thinks I am a thing. He treats me as a thing. He is materialistic. ;) And I am not a "gold digger" :)

Love / How real is your international (Polish-other) relationship ? [53]

childwithin
what do you find difficult?

Some of people I know were in "Polish-other" relationships.
Many western man are more "reserved" and well-mannered. They treat woman with respect. They ask for taking her hand instead of Polish common "no daj łapę".

Some polish guys are "simple": "die your hair bacause you look awful", "I can't look at you in this white jacket"

They look at details like tips or ugly died hair in strange colour and then criticise. Some of them notice ugliness or just her "shape": "ale szprycha" in the contrary to many foreigners who notice beauty and who can (have a skill) to look also at their faces.

I sometimes think that not many Polish guys look at womens' faces, even if they do it they are not very good at it. Not everybody of course. I think that not every of them treat woman with respect.

So, what do you I find difficult? First thing is respect. Many western guys win at start with Polish jerks just saying: "Would you mind if I called you?" instead of "Dasz numer maleńka? "Second thing is mentality, I mean especially a part of it called "independence". Polish women are upbringing in an "cliche": ", you are "for" marriage and for "having children" and "for" being a good wife, what in fact means "you should deserve for a man to become his and your kids' servant". I think that many Polish women are submissive and even don't realise it.

Converting from being "typical" Polish woman into self-sufficient woman who realise her dreams and passions might be difficult. Facing with independence, reach and full of adventure life and other priorities than family and devoting often all effort to family life is difficult.

So, to sum up: mentality and values.

In general polki are not a bargain.They just exist in massive numbers.

Language / -ski/-ska, -scy/ski, -wicz - Polish surnames help [185]

EchoTheCat
Surnames ending witch -wicz come from Tatars or Armenian.

By and large: surnames with suffixes: -ewicz, -owicz are paternital male surnames ("otczestwa") derivated from Russian language, ex. Abramowicz: "Abram's son"

butterfly effect

It is amazing. This "unexpectedness". But for humans beings it "starts" in our minds which are in fact very often locked.

"Locked minds" are very hard to open. Opening some people's minds is a very hard job. Sometimes almost impossible.

who will listen her like a dog

Do you think, that girls don't like guys who think, just those ones, who listen to their orders? Man with no character? No.

sexy

He is "sexy": I might think. Will every other girl think the same about him?
"Sexy" isn't a scheme: for instance: tall, well-build, dark-skinned and black-hair Latin American.

handsome

Isn't every woman "attractive" in different way? The same for us: every man is interesting or "handsome" in "his own way".

Good character is ok ;)

Language / doing / making - the difference? [20]

robić: "czasownik niedokonany" - actions or states which were lasting in the past, are lasting at present, or will be lasting in the future.

Co robiłeś/aś wczoraj? What were you doing yesterday?
Co robisz? What are you doing?
Co będziesz robić jutro wieczorem? What will you be doing tomorrow in the evening?

zrobić: "czasownik dokonany" - actions or states which were finished in the past or will be finished in the future.

I made you a cup of tea.
Zrobiłem/am ci szklankę herbaty. ("z" at the beginning reminds English: it's already done (the action is finished).

Zrobię ci szklankę herbaty.
I will make you a cup of tea.

wyrobić: I remember just one example: wyrobić/wyrabiać (again czasownik "dokonany" and "niedokonany") ciasto, it means: to crumple (?) dough to be prepared for "pierogi" ;)

Language / rukes in if [8]

Kiedy (when): pronoun

I was reading at home when somebody knocked to the door.
Czytałam w domu, kiedy ktoś zapukał do drzwi.

Like in English it relates to a time of an action.

Że (that) - conjunction.
It cannot be omitted like in English.

I found out that you had passed your exam.
Dowiedziałem/am się, że zdałeś/aś egzamin.

You cannot say:
To jest sklep, że kupiłam w nim nasze łóżko.
That's a shop (which, that) we bought our bed in. In English this is correct.

Polish "że" (that) is only a conjuction. It links parts of a sentence only. That's why some of us have problems with "that" or "which' in some English sentences (like above)

Który:
* as interrogative (zaimek pytajny) - which
Którą kurtkę kupisz?
Which jacket will you buy?

*as relative pronoun (zaimek względny) - who, which, whose, that

I met a classmate, who I hadn't seen for years.
Spotkałam kolegę, którego nie widziałam przez lata.

This is a book which I like.
To jest książka, którą lubię.

I know a boy whose father is a vet.
Znam chłopaka którego ojciec jest weterynarzem.

That's a shop (which, that) we bought our bed in.
To jest sklep, w którym kupiliśmy nasze łóżko.

Love / Insultive opinions about Polish girls... [139]

jump_bunny
Aso, it really makes me wonder when the pointless threads such as this one will end. I'm sick to death listening about how Polish women are mysteriously different to other ones

I was sick to death when I first time visited PF and its "Relationships and Marriage section (...) very interesting, extremely creative and full of precious and remarkable observations" as Nika said.

I couldn't believe my eyes how harmful for most women I know could be some of these opinions. I wanted to know what do Polish women think about calling them in the worst possible words.

There are so many positive views too, but those ones I've read had been just degrading. It was disgusting for me, firstly: as for a woman, secondly: as for a Polish woman.

I don't think, that for Polish girls the thread is pointless. Am I wrong?

Bzibzioh

I like it when Brits are criticizing Poles for having strong opinions while themselves believing that 'whatever people want to do should not be criticized', which is no opinion at all!!!

Couldn't agree more. Besides, criticizing isn't always negative; it leads to new points of view. Criticism is just a criticism. Some agree with it, some don't. Some will shout, some will be quiet. It's just our choice; we can find bad sides or we can try to look at matters objectively. However it will be often subjective in some way.

Love / Insultive opinions about Polish girls... [139]

Yeap, just to sum up:

the average polish girl:

constantly ill and moaning anorectic with a lot of medicines in her bag dressed in tight Chinese jeans having a lot of verve to hit her foreign (in majority) boyfriend who consider her as an easy gold digger and devoid of sense of humour but who can actually tolerate her (but only temporary, because they press for marriage so much) because of her exterior beauty and lovely sounding polish "sz" or "cz"

You guys here, are just horrible (with some exceptions of course).

I don't care for all these silly opinions but I really don't catch why is it allowed to start a thread with a question (for example) "Why are polish girls constantly ill" or "Are the most of polish girls "easy". These questions say that we are constantly ill (it's just about why, and the phrase "most of" also put into readers' subconscious that not only some of Polish girls are easy, but that the most of us are.

i have always been surprised by how much polish women (not all, but the majority) would rather marry a foreigner

How many Polish woman married a foreigner? The majority?

Some of foreign guys come to Poland to have a nice adventure with Polish attractive woman and perfectly use naivity of some of them just to have fan.

Some of them after a romance filled with promises, beautiful words (also about getting married) dump them and call those girls easy.

Osiedle Ruda

If you want respect, either online or in real life, then you need to earn it, not expect it solely because you're a woman/Polish/black/white/whatever

Poles use "deserve for respect" instead of "earn for respect".

I was going to let this go, but you've got a nerve coming on here and starting a thread which is thinly-disguised call-out thread aimed at me.

Should I apologise you for it or rather should you apologise me for calling my part of my body which let me to think "d***"? (plus s*** up).

Forum rules:

"Harassment: Just like you, your fellow members also deserve respect. Be kind. Don't insult, harass, or intimidate them!"

Your words were insultive and that's all.

Don't delay this comment ok? It's just about saying "sorry" Osiedle Ruda. A "bit too far" is not enough. You went much too far .

"Every nationality, group of people, sex, etc etc has negatives thrust at it/them, this is just part of life i'm afraid. English women are slutty and ugly, German girls have hairy armpits, Polish women have big noses.............. the list goes on and on. You just have to take these things as they come, if you don't like them, just ignore it."

I don't like but I won't ignore them, because they offence my Polish pride (definately not these ones about big noses)

"If you don't think guys/men/males respect you then i'm afraid you've just not spent time with the right ones then, i must say that a public forum is not the best place to go to find manners and respect from other individuals :)"

I'm here to improve my English skills to prepare to my English exam and also because of some other reasons. No matter now.

"I find that totally un-acceptable, i don't think any woman should be spoken to in this manner, the topic of the conversation does not matter, its a big no no"

No man too, as well. Those words ("speaking out of my d***" and "STFU" (shut up **** up or "k**** zamknij się" - for these who aren't very familiar with some kind of abbreviations) were quoted, just like yours.

I've found many. Like that we are gold diggers or that we hit our man. Or that we dress like ******.

What do you, polish girls, think about it?

Oh, and, have you ever been insulted by any foreign guys just because you come from Poland? Or because you are a woman?

I was told to stop "speaking out of my dupa" and "STFU" (shut up **** up or "kurwa zamknij się" - for these who aren't very familiar with some kind of abbreviations) just because of presenting my opinion on this forum. It's so outrageous. And sad.

Don't guys respect us (not even mentioning about well manners) without any particular reasons?
