Love / Are all beautiful Polish girls as crazy as this? [262]

Your considered and mature comments are appreciated. And I'm not naive enough to think that one can stereotype a whole nation on the basis of one lunatic. That's the problem with men in general (including myself, I admit) - we're suckers for a pretty face. :/

Love / Are all beautiful Polish girls as crazy as this? [262]

I originally posted this thread.

Well, it's over. I just couldn't stand it any more.

She was suffocating me with accusations, dreadful comments about any female acquintance. She was a time-bomb; if things weren't going her way, big trouble.

I have to admit - and this is difficult to say - she was bullying me, using her 'value' as a beautiful young women to emotionally blackmail me.

It's fresh. I hurt. I miss the nice things. But I simply could not live my life with this madness - pretty on the outside, rotten to the core.

Thank you all for good advice - advice which really only confirmed my gut feelings.

Any genuinely 'nice' Polish ladies out there? I'd love to hear from you. Prove me wrong.

Thank you.

Love / Are Polish Women cold and aloof? [249]

Based purely on my limited personal experience, most of the Polish women I've met are attractive. But boy do they know it!

And - again based only on my limited sample - their apparent friendliness is more often than not affected. I think they actually look down on British people, and have come to believe that they are superior. Mind you, I'm having terrible problems with my Polish partner, so take everything I say with a pinch of salt, bearing in mind that I'm probably pretty biased right now.

I'm guessing there's a whole world out there of extremely pleasant, balanced, non-manipulative Polish women - I just haven't met any.

Love / Possibility of Marriage with a Polish lady [96]

Hi, Shekofte

My friend, you seem like a very pleasant guy, and clearly romantic in your approach to women. Speaking as someone a little older - and I hate to sound overly cynical - this sounds like a far-away dream which (sorry) is very unlikely to come true.

Being honest, you are more likely simply to walk around the corner one day and bump into your future love; or you may meet her through work, hobbies, interests, even shopping in the supermarket.

The internet seems wonderful, and it's easy to become fascinated with a pretty picture, but face the truth: what are the chances? I apologise for being straight with you, but please, don't lose any sleep over this.

Love / Are all beautiful Polish girls as crazy as this? [262]

OK, I posted this thread and it seems to be unravelling.

The main point I'm picking up is that her behaviour is certainly not atypical for a Polish girl/beautiful girl/beautiful Polish girl.

I'm finding that I'm reading things I actually know already: for example, perhaps I've put up with more sh** because I am blinded by beauty (I'm a guy - you know, shallow that way). It is clear that - perhaps since coming to Britain - she has discovered physical beauty is a source of power, and that it can be used to manipulate men (me!); hardly anything new, I suppose.

It is worrying. She has brought out the worst in me (I hate conflict - she thrives on it), and has gradually eroded my faith in my previous vain hope that a physically beatiful woman can also be sweet, a little modest, pleasant, even 'normal'. Which is sad, because I do want a nice personality, shared interests and beliefs etc., but unfortunately I am also a sucker for natural beauty (not the fake tan/big t*ts/square white fingernails kind). A dilemna.

However, my gut feeling is that she has to go. She does not make me happy, and I find it virtually impossible to picture any viable future with her. Sad.

Anyway, thanks for the more thoughtful contributions. And if you are a naturally beautiful Polish girl who also thinks she is normal and pleasant, do feel free to contact me. ;)

Cheers

That was a long, considered and thoughtful answer - cheers.

In fact, the relationship is pretty emotional/passionate, and I do stand up to her (I've had to learn). I just find the whole thing tiring (and, frankly, conflict is getting boring). I think I keep the relationship going simply because I've never given up believing that there is a really nice peron in there somewhere, perhaps buried by issues from her past.

Anyway, appreciate your input.

Love / Met this gorgeous Polish lady [27]

My advice is - be careful. Many of these Polish girls are, as you say, 'gorgeous'. But remember, if it looks too good to be true...

My own experience, coupled with much anecdotal evidence, suggests that these shiny apple Polish girls are often rotten inside. They have learned the power of their looks over us blokes and turn it to their advantage. You may have been lucky this time - and I do hope so - but watch for the tell-tale signs: prying into everything you do, using emotional blackmail to get her own way, making you jealous with other guys...JUST BE CAREFUL!

Love / Are all beautiful Polish girls as crazy as this? [262]

I started the thread. I know it's a sweeping generalisation even to attempt to say that something is a Polish trait in particular - it's just that she often justifies her behaviour as being down to 'cultural differences' and so on (and of course, she's always right - what a wonderful excuse). And she has mentioned that her Polish female friend has similar problems with her Scottish partner, so I started to wonder about other Polish women. In terms of beauty being subjective, true, but I've yet to come across a man who doesn't think she is (visually) stunning. However, I'm beginning to wonder if having a model on my arm is worth all the hassle, the conflict and the stress. Is it perhaps true what Woody Allen said that great beauty drives a woman mad?

Love / Are all beautiful Polish girls as crazy as this? [262]

I have been going out with a Polish girl for just over a year now. She is a number of years younger than me, attractive, intelligent and interesting. We do have our happy times, and we adore each other. However, I am convinced she is actually crazy: she seems almost to enjoy conflict; she wants to control every aspect of my life; she is extremely distrusting and jealous; she is very temperamental; and, most frustratingly of all, she is NEVER wrong, and EVERYTHING is always my fault. A couple of weeks ago during an argument she actually hit me.

To be honest, she treats her friends much better than she treats me.

Is this the price one pays for having a good-looking Polish girl? Are many of them as crazy as this? Is this common, or is she a one-off? Can anyone offer sensible advice (preferably based on experience)? I really like her, and I think the most beautiful Polish girls are amazing to look at, but the whole thing is driving me crazy. Help!
