Love / Polish men what is the worst thing a girl can do upon first impression? [360]


LMAO!

And they wonder why many Polish women are fed up of them and most English women don't want them! It's not the 1950s any more, lads! haha! :)

Love / Dating a Polish guy for three years. Will he ever marry me? [44]


Same could be said for the man, to be honest. Some guys just aren't ready or willing to take on... er... "baggage".

That said, my cousin is in her late 40s and has been with someone who is barely into his 30s (and is legally too young to be her daughter's father) so it takes all sorts, doesn't it.

Three out of four of my most recent girlfriends have had children, and it didn't put me off. But after one divorce which nearly destroyed me, I'm not exactly going to rush into marriage, am I? lol

Language / Polish people: did you struggle learning English - differences between both languages [75]

Rubbish. It all depends on your mother tongue, and how much you want to learn. Unless, as in my case, you grow up fully bilingual from the moment you start to learn to speak.

Japanese is easier for Chinese speakers to learn than Polish is, and French is easier for an English speaker than Kiswahili is.

And if, as is often alleged on here and elsewhere, certain ethnic groups have low IQ, then how come those ethnic groups mostly speak at least two or three languages?

By the way, multilingualism is more common than monolingualism, so if anyone should be regarded as "thick" or "low IQ", then it would be monolinguals. But this is not true!

Love / Ten things to remember when you have a Polish girlfriend [79]

1. Her name
Bear with me, I’m not being (completely) flippant. About 90 percent of all women in Poland are named Magda, Ola, Anna, Dorota, or Kasia. That’s it. This can be confusing. If you can’t remember your Polish girlfriend’s first name ask her what her second name is. Everybody has a second name here. Unfortunately it’s usually just one of the above, but you might get lucky and come across a Jadwiga (if you’ll pardon the expression).

This is why she only gets called "kochanie" lol

2. Women’s Day

same with all women really

3. She is a a princess
Polish girls are brought up in the tradition of old-fashioned chivalry and deference to the ‘weaker sex.’ That means YOU carry the bags, open the door, mend things, make tea in the morning, escort her to the bus stop etc. When a little exasperated by this I often point out to my girlfriend that she’s being a ‘bit of a princess’ to which she usually smiles and flutters her eyelids in complete ignorance of the negative connotations of the phrase in British and American English. Oh well.

She just needs to be reminded occasionally about who is the prince :)

4. Walking is impossible
Part of the chivalry thing mentioned above is the expectation that whenever you are walking somewhere together she should have her arm looped through yours. Down narrow and crowded streets this makes progress painfully slow. It’s sweet, and I kind of like it sometimes, but it would be nice to walk through crowded areas in single file sometimes instead of having to go through ridiculous sideways-shuffling maneuvers, every five feet.

This is 100% true LMAO

5. You are furniture
While trying to relax and watch a film in which hundreds of Russian troops are hosed down by panzers she will use you as a pillow / footstool / nose-scratching device. This is also kind of sweet and nice, but it can make it hard to concentrate on the body count.

And this! But all women do this ime. I object to being a doormat but I don't mind being a footrest lol

6. She has a mother…

Actually, no. She died young.

7. Your food is not your own
It’s a well known fact amongst men that women mysteriously become ravenously hungry only when you happen to have a large plate of long-anticipated chips in front of you. However, the effect does seem to be particularly pronounced among Polish women, who claim to eat almost nothing. Always, and I mean ALWAYS, order or cook more than you can possibly eat because your stick-thin Polish girlfriend will inevitably develop the appetite of a blue whale the moment her anxiously selected ’small salad’ arrives.

100% true again - but you forgot to mention the ketchup lol

8. You can kiss other women

I wouldn't want to lol

9. She’s smarter than you are
The Polish education system is a marvel and good education is respected above almost everything else here. Chances are that your Polish girlfriend not only speaks English, German, and Russian (how many languages do you speak)

she usually isn't, three and a bit, and she could barely speak English never mind Russian or German haha

but also has a pretty good grasp of a lot of things that you slept through at school. You’re only hope is to pretend that such things ‘aren’t considered important in Western culture’ and shrug until she buys it.

all that education and they go and work in a nail bar when they leave school lol :D

10. …uh oh I’ve forgotten the last one! I’m in big trouble.

That's why she dumped you for a foreigner ;)

Considering that terrorist laws can be used against people who over-fill their dustbins, I'm sure the legal profession could find a way round it - unfortunately, I don't think the will is there, when it comes to immigration at least.


I think that Scottish priest who killed that Polish girl a while back was "getting some", so you may even be right!

UK, Ireland / Oxford Polish bride 'heartbroken' over arrest - accusations of sham marriage [126]


Human nature, I suppose. Or, giving as good as you get. I'm one of the politest, most respectful people you can imagine... unless you cross me ;) It's sad that it's my own people (Poles) who have abused me more than any other group of people. And people on here wonder why some people say Poland is "50 years behind the West". East/South-East Asians are the ONLY group of people I have never had any hassle from whatsoever, I'm sorry to say. It doesn't make me hate all the others, but maybe I have good reason to be more critical of Poles??


I keep telling people this but no-one believes me :)

I've had two Polish girlfriends who made the BNP look like yoghurt-knitting liberal-lefties, and I've only ever met one Polish woman who admitted to liking non-whites (or indeed non-Poles).

However, I'm sure there are plenty more - there are definitely some white English women who say "I only date blacks or <insert ethnicity here>" so why would Polish women be any exception?

UK, Ireland / Oxford Polish bride 'heartbroken' over arrest - accusations of sham marriage [126]

If daring to criticise foreigners who abuse British people (and think that it's OK because they think they won't be understood by the locals) makes me a "snobbish hater", then so be it. Many Poles have been told (in Polish) what I think of their attitude to Britain and the British, and I'll do it again if I have to.

My generation respected this country, and I'm not going to stand back and just listen to these people put my country down like this - if they don't like it, and think that somewhere else is far better (and, as they keep telling me "where there are fewer badly-dressed, fat, ugly, lazy, drunken wh*res") then they know where they should move back to!

UK, Ireland / Oxford Polish bride 'heartbroken' over arrest - accusations of sham marriage [126]


That's actually fair comment and I'm not going to argue with that, but I'm still entitled to my opinions - I speak as I find!

UK, Ireland / Oxford Polish bride 'heartbroken' over arrest - accusations of sham marriage [126]

You need to get over yourself! If you heard the way these Poles talk about the local population in Polish, you would understand why even previous Polish immigrants despise them - that quote above is tame compared to what they say about English people and non-white Britons, many of whom have much more to offer the UK than the Polish underclass has - this country has plenty of it's own wasters, it certainly doesn't need Poland's idiots as well!

Work / How is the Warsaw job opportunities for international students? [43]


We've got something similar here, in a way. Some of the benefit underclass won't go with anyone who earns enough to lose them their benefits or their council tenancy. Inverted snobbery, I guess.

UK, Ireland / Oxford Polish bride 'heartbroken' over arrest - accusations of sham marriage [126]


If you say so :) she looks closer to 30 than 19 imo!

Oddly enough, even my mum has noticed the lower standard of Polish people over here these days - she told me the other day "it's easy to spot the recent immigrants, they seem to all have such weird, ugly faces - which villages are they importing these people from these days? We used to be known for being a good-looking people" :D

Life / 80% of Polish people are boring or can't party, why? [179]

Think about it this way: if a prostitute costs you £50 an hour, all you get is sex for your £50, then that's it, you have to pi** off. If you want anything else, even just conversation, you pay extra.

Then consider a girlfriend: you may spend 20 hours a week with her and have sex each week. Each sex session may last quite a bit longer than it would with a prostitute. During that 20 hours, you may have gone out for a meal, taken her to the pub, or for coffee, and maybe spent some money on other things like cinema tickets, etc. Let's just say that you spent... hmm... maybe £100 on her each week, and sex was guaranteed each week. 100/20 = £5 an hour. Assuming that you value each part of your relationship as much as the sex part, that's a bargain. Southern just gets sex for his £50 an hour, while those who prefer to have a girlfriend only spend £5 an hour and get a lot more out of it than just sex.

Of course, few people would ever consider a relationship in purely cash terms like these, but if you do, paying a prostitute seems like even worse value than it seems. That's why, among other reasons, I'll never do it.

Besides, many of the best things in a relationship cost nothing at all, and can't be bought. But that's the problem with a lot of people today - they know the price of everything, and the value of nothing.

UK, Ireland / Fish and chips - do Polish people in the UK like this? [108]


fixed :)

Go into a Jewish shop and they do sliced pickled cucumbers which look like... ordinary salad cucumbers! lol

i always think of gherkins as those small things which look really wrinkled. Polish-style pickled cucumbers are mostly much bigger, and look/taste different. Those I've seen on the counter look a lot bigger than what I would call "gherkins", more like the Polish varieties but probably not Polish.

Oddly enough, I've never asked for one. I've always wondered if they are just for display, like edible pot pourri or something, lol.


z grilla is just not the same, lol.

GRRRRR this thread made me want to go to the fish and chip shop, but I couldn't, because I'd had a few drinks and couldn't drive, so I had to make do with some Cantonese-style pork and prawn fried rice. Good job I had some BBQ pork and prawns left! But I wanted FISH AND CHIPS really!!! grrrrrrr!!! lol
