News / What Poland can't do right [113]

Polish people cannot make an acceptable quality yellow cheese.

Of course they can! They just need to know how.

Love / Do some Polish women prefer older men for money? [57]

Most Polish Woman want a older man for money,Thats what i think,And you?

Forget about money for a moment. Forget about yourself for a moment. Don't show them *you* are worth it, but show them *they* are worth it. Don't show them how awesome *you* are, but show them how awesome *they* are.

;)

More hints will cost you.

Love / Your Thoughts about 20 Year Age Difference Between Men & Women in Poland? [74]

I'm 22 had first child at 16, my current partner is 46, any one think it can work out???

I don't believe such age differences should be a problem when you're dating or looking for something more casual, and I really don't think age differences of about ten years should cause much problems in more serious or long-term relationships either. But twenty four years? It's pretty obvious that you'll still be in the middle of your life when you're about thirty six. He'll be sixty then. I think you should seriously ask yourself if that's what you *really* want.

He say he loves me n wanna have kids with me but I'm scared that later on my regret it! Plz give me an advise really need one :(

I don't see many men raise teenagers in their early sixties, do you? I mean, if you're going to have a child with him this or next year, or even later, then that child will be fourteen when he's sixty one, sixty two or sixty three. (And he talks about more kids?) He shouldn't be too selfish and think about *your* future as well, because you already *have* three kids of your own. Hey, it's not *my* life, but I wouldn't go along with this plan if I were you. I guess it would be different if he accepted the fact that you already have three children of your own, but then again who am I to tell you what will or won't work out for you guys? Just saying that a bigger age difference in a relationship is one thing, but when kids are involved you *should* give it more thought.

Love / Is rape so common in Poland? [95]

@rozumiemnic
I wouldn't exactly call that a fantasy of mine!

xD

Joking apart, I have heard of something like this...come to think of it, I heard it happened in Poland.....

It wouldn't surprise me if something similar actually has happened, but I have to admit I've never heard of anything like that before! Just saying that theoretically it *is* possible for women to overpower men by using tricks, drugs or weapons.

Love / Is rape so common in Poland? [95]

Rape is a violent act , there must be at least some form of self defence (eg. verbal or physical ).

Okay, I'm going to let the sick part of my brain work for a few seconds here! What if a girl drugs a guy, ties him up really good and feeds him Viagra pills when he wakes up, so she can have unwanted sex with him repeatedly, even against his will? (Just imagine she's really, really ugly or something!) What if she humiliates him or physically abuses him? Wouldn't this case in this hypothetical scenario be labelled as a rape case just because the victim is a guy?

I think if those people who tends to be rude, say controvercial things, mock or test people's behaviour would not dare to be like that if they were to put their picture and full name on public...

I can't speak for other people, but I would *definitely* tell you everything I've said to your face, just like I'm doing here. And just because some people are a bit rude sometimes, doesn't necessarily mean they're always hateful or trying to hurt people! (As if Polish people never use the word Kurwa or similar expressions?)

ok you're excused ;)

Thank you so much!

;D

Its just a request as it stood in my first post. Why is this so complex I have no idea.

And there's nothing wrong with that request, but some people here immediately start to equate our use of language with friendliness. Sure, wether it's always classy or tactful or not is debatable, but surely we don't have to act like Queen Victoria all the time? I do agree with the fact that such language isn't at all desirable when someone's asking a nice and polite question, but I really don't see any harm in a couple of jokes between a few regulars who are known for being a little rough around the edges..

''Hey *******, can you hand me that screwdriver for a second?'' ''Sure dickhead, there you go.'' ''Thanks, prick.'' ''I've heard that dizzy employer of yours fired you, but I might know of a couple of addresses for you if you like.'' ''Okay.'' ''So do you need a job ********' ''Yeah I do, you talking ash-tray, thanks a lot!'' ''Hey, no problem, pancake.''

That's how I grew up.

I think it would be a plague of XXI cent. ;)

I think so too, but there *are* some positive sides to this medium as well.

Do what you want but from my personal experience the Internet more isolates people than helps them to comunicate. It's just a delusion that it can open the world in front of you.

In some ways it does, and in other ways it doesn't. I would prefer to meet and socialize with people in a more physical way too, but maybe you'd understand me a little if you lived where I live. A very small town in a rural area, where most younger people - especially from my generation - have left. I'm pretty much occupied with a study as well, so I don't have *that* much money or time to go out as much as I would like to. I agree with you in some ways, but I suppose I understand the other side of the story as well?

well yeah. But some brought the discussion on comepletely different "level" (e.g. threats)

Ever heard of macho talk? It's probably nothing more than just that? Hey, I don't know about where you live, but boys will always be boys.. Over here, the bored ones are *always* bluffing to make themselves look a little bigger, and in the bars here? There's usually a lot of fighting going on here, and I think that's bullshit too! I would probably prefer a dancing course with someone.

:)

But yeah, go ahead and call me nuts.

That's my point. That's why the Internet is not reflecting anything (maybe only itself and the Internauts opinions).

And you think that the people around you *always* tell you *everything* they have on their mind? That they never pretend to be someone they're not? That they never conform to certain norms because they worry about what their neighbours *might* say about them? Or that people at a house party never act a little crazy? Or in the bar? Whatever!

Most of us are just people on the internet, and yes, there are always a few nutters among us, some positively nuts, others negatively nuts, or just nut-nuts. But seriously, if we were *all* unbalanced and nuts for frequenting a forum, then *every* person on Facebook, Hyves or any other social networking site is nuts too! Dude, we have a lot of nutters on this planet!

:O

I hope so :)

Have a little faith in people?

I think that the both sides have its nuts

I think most people here are only blowing off steam every once in a while, or acting a bit funny when they wish to take their minds off of their dull office jobs! (Gee, I don't know, but they almost seem like normal people?)

;)

Only 20%? Me and convex came to the conclusion that the vast majority of active users are complete nuts.

Well, I'm positively nuts most of the time, very rarely negatively nuts, but usually I'm *almost* normal! (Whatever the hell ''normal'' is supposed to mean!)

It's like saying most balanced people don't lose their time on socializing with others.

It does come across like that a little.

A laugh? Friendship? Comfort? Frustration? Satisfaction on your perception of others? Anger? New insights into others?

Definitely a laugh, new insights for sure, and yeah, even friendship. Oh, and of course some people just like an interesting discussion, a good talk or even a bit of an intellectual challenge every once in a while, and maybe they couldn't find that much at home or at the bar! (And maybe some people are just a little shy in real life!) Maybe, maybe, maybe! Who knows what all of our reasons could be? But to say we're all unbalanced people just because we happen to frequent a forum seems a little rash..

;)

What do you gain?

I know a Polish guy who used to read this forum, and he found a job in Holland because I pointed him to a job agency. (He did the rest on his own.) Do you know that guy is now a good friend of mine? Hey, it's a small world sometimes!

So maybe I could rephrase that question: What do you lose?

:)

Reading post of some users here I can say that something like 20% of active users are complete nuts.

Have you ever been to a house party in Amsterdam on a Friday night?

I didn't mean you in particular.

I just meant to reassure you, that's all. (Call it a friendly gesture, even when it's unnecessary.) Oh, and even if you did, I really wouldn't care about that, simply because *I* know who I am. I think you shouldn't take *everything* people say on the internet too serious, because I'm willing to bet that half of the people you view as nuts here, really aren't *that* bad in real life. I think a few people here are pretty nuts myself, especially some of the more bigoted ones, and some of the racists here. But 20%? Not really!

Most balanced people don't lose their time for virtual life.

I disagree, because there are many character traits, circumstances and factors which can contribute to a less active life or a less active social life. Some people are studying and need more time for themselves, others actually make a more conscious decision to avoid the tumult outside because they've left their teenage years well behind them. Some people spend their time on the internet when others would watch television. So that doesn't always have to mean that those people who spend more time on the internet than others would, are somehow less balanced individuals. (Relax, because I'm not taking offense to your words!) Just saying some people like to take it easier than others..

Who said anything about we? I was referring to you taking threads off topic - again.

I didn't take anything off-topic, I merely expanded on your reply to Lodz_The_Boat. (Unless you think you were being off-topic!) Just ignore me if you don't like it, because this *is* pointless. Doesn't help you, doesn't help me, doesn't help the forum. So how about have a beer and reply to something you *do* like?

;)

Most posters are foreigners ...

Aren't we all foreigners to each other?

but as per the Admin, most "viewers" are probably not.

Which doesn't matter anyway, if we consider some could be expats, tourists, have Polish ancestors or are somehow interested.

The culture of PF could be a reflection of Poland in and of itself.

I really don't think such a small number of people could ever reflect the culture of a whole nation, no matter which country they're coming from. I think most people are aware of that, so I wouldn't worry too much about the reputation of your country because of *one* internet forum, which doesn't even use the Polish language as its main language.

Now that is an interesting observation. What do others think? How much truth in that?

Just as much truth as you wish to read into it.

sometimes the atmosphere is too unreal, sometimes the language barrier ... many factors work hand in hand ... but all said its everyones own choice.

I like learning Polish, so it would be nice not to get shot just because I'm a foreigner who has his own opinions. It's not like the British or the Polish have a monopoly on topics here, and like I've said, you can also learn a lot about a country just by small talk and socializing a little. I don't understand members like George either. Why should I hide the fact I'm Dutch? Or not be here? Because this is a Polish forum? No it's not. It's an internet forum about Poland. If you can get more Polish people to post here then that would be great, but don't expect all the foreigners to leave. Because those foreigners are the reason you've made a site about Poland. (In English!)

Not really. (I have one.) It feels a little like something on or in your skin is going from hot to cold and you feel a bit of a burning sensation. (And it bleeds a little!) It didn't feel like getting kicked at all to me?

We used to have that ''Gabber'' look in Holland back in '94, which looked pretty similar to these hairstyles, with the difference being that they shaved themselves bald underneath. (I still think it made girls look horrible!) This doesn't look *too* bad though, although I have to say I'd prefer long, natural hair on a girl..

Yeah, but sometimes it's good to make those mistakes for yourself, because experience is the best teacher! It might sound cliché, but there's a world of difference between being told about mistakes, knowing about mistakes and making those mistakes. (I'd say it all depends on what kind of mistakes we're talking about, because I wouldn't wish for people to make *some* mistakes either!)

Love / Is rape so common in Poland? [95]

# 22 Netherlands: 0.100445 per 1,000 people

Which roughly means one actual person out of every 10.000 people got raped.

# 29 Poland: 0.062218 per 1,000 people

Which roughly means one actual person out of every 16.000 people got raped.

Is rape so common in Poland?

Conclusion: It's not so common. (But of course every case is one case too many!)

:)

Rape often goes unreported due to many social and psychological reasons.

Unfortunately.

Feedback / Why PolishForums? Give us your stories! [60]

So how did you all find Polish Forums?

I've met a girl from Racibórz back in 2004 and we got along pretty well, so at some point I wanted to learn Polish. I didn't know this place existed, but unfortunately, Polish Forums was the first thing that crossed my mind when I used Google.

And it's the witty comments, passionate fighting and wackos that keeps us here.

So who's the alpha-wacko here I wonder? (Would that be a reverend with Tourette's Syndrome and a drinking problem?)
