UK, Ireland / Single Polish women in Northampton? [5]


What values do you have in mind?

News / Does democratic Poland guarantee it's LGBT citizens respect for human and civil rights? [1169]


I don't see a distinction between the two groups. There are plenty of women who campaign on women's rights issues who are also independent and happy to share life with a man on equal terms. They're the professional and personal faces of the same person.

Some people here seem to be obsessing with a stereotype of a feminist as an aggressive, man-hating harridan who becomes enraged at politically incorrect use of language. Does anyone like that even exist? There can't be many.

@ johnny reb

You come across as a very bitter person. What did women ever do to hurt you? Especially feminists?

Seriously, feminists are the most attractive, sexiest, most loveable of all women. Why? Because they're confident, capable and assertive. Those are positive qualities in a person, especially a potential partner or spouse.

Feminists don't need men for money or status - they are happy earning their own incomes and don't judge themselves or others by whether or not they have a man. So if a feminist is with you, it's because she wants to be with you, not because she aspires to be a simpering Stepford wife who tolerates her husband because she feels she has no alternative.

Luckily Poland is one of the best countries in the world for feminism. Its girls out-perform boys at school, are more likely to go to university, and have a high level of employment. They also celebrate international women's day. It's one of the many reasons why Polish women are so special.

Really? Can you prove it? And how do you account for men who love feminist women (and vice versa)?

News / Does democratic Poland guarantee it's LGBT citizens respect for human and civil rights? [1169]

Polonius, I'm against people being penalised for not supporting 'the LBGT agenda'. I'm also in favour of penalising people who discriminate against, persecute, threaten or insult those different to themselves. You have a right to an opinion, but you have no right to behave offensively.

So you support lesbianism? Gay women love vagina too, not just us straight men :-)

Seriously, why would it matter to you who someone loves or what they like doing in bed, provided they don't try to impose their preferences on your right to enjoy yours? I'm not gay, but I have nothing against people being that way.

UK, Ireland / Why English do not like Polish? [417]


We know we don't have an empire. But I wouldn't rule out the possibility that we think we're superior to the French. Cheese-eating surrender monkeys :-)

Love / Polish women and fertility [24]


I think this is right. Academic studies have shown that the most effective way to reduce family size is to educate girls and give women opportunities in the workplace. Poland has been good at this, which is why it has one of the lowest numbers of children per woman in Europe, especially among those who've grown up in the post-Communist era.

There is also evidence that smaller families mean higher survival rates, less poverty and longer lives for the next generation. The fewer children we have, the more we can invest time, effort and money into helping them prosper.

Love / Acceptable age difference for a couple in Poland. [13]


I agree with this. The age difference isn't a problem, and could be an advantage. One person wanting children and the other not, however, is a huge obstacle to happiness. Either you agree to become a father again or the decent thing to do is walk away.

UK, Ireland / Why English do not like Polish? [417]

I think it's wrong to say that English or British people don't like Poles. Some people in the British working (or more accurately benefits-claiming) class resent Poles who compete with them for jobs, housing etc. But what they really hate is uncontrolled immigration, not the immigrants themselves. In a few areas, where there has maybe been trouble with a handful of Poles for whatever reason, there may be some tensions, but these are linked to the individuals rather than Poles generally.

Overall, British people are happy to work with Polish people, employ them, be their landlords, do business with them, fall in love with them, you name it. While Poles' cultural background is Catholic and ours is more Protestant, we're essentially north European, democratic, Christian Caucasians, so we have a lot of shared values.

I'm guessing Avalon is a straight male, and was just joking.

Your quip, and his, remind me of a great line from Emo Philips:

I need to tell you something very personal. I'm bisexual.

(long silence, slight embarrassed laughter from audience, not knowing what happened to the punchline)

Yep, twice a year.

(Audience laughs, then falls silent. After long pause...)

I buy sex.

News / When will Poland take on the EURO? [47]


The countries that were in the EU before the Euro was introduced have the option to join or not. The UK came close to it in the early 1990s, joining the Exchange Rate Mechanism, but fortunately we did so at too high a value and the market spotted this and bet against us. So we came out. It lost us a lot of money in the short term but in the medium term our economy picked up and thankfully now any politician who suggested it would be out of a job permanently.

Norway is not a member of the EU so is not obliged to join the Euro.

All countries that joined the EU after the Euro was introduced, including Poland, in theory have to join the single currency 'when the economic conditions are right'. In practice, given the mess the Euro is in, it's unlikely it will ever be imposed on a reasonably well-performing economy. Poland has achieved some of the best economic growth in the EU since 2004; I would be amazed if the EU risked you leaving by trying to impose its crackpot currency on you.

Travel / Poland or Philippines? Which is better for a vacation? (sex tourism) [39]

Not sure where to start here. How about:

1. Poland is not a third world country. It is a middle-income European democracy
2. Poland and the Philippines are both Catholic countries so few women will sleep with you without love and commitment
3. You come across as a hugely ignorant man, with your third world comment and also your disinterest in tourism and culture. Why not get yourself educated, then visit Poland because you're interested to get to know a fellow NATO democracy. Spend some time in the country's beautiful cities and countryside, explore the museums and galleries. Who knows, you might then meet an intelligent, educated, independent young Polish woman, and get to know her as an equal, and perhaps one thing will lead to another...

Love / How to Make (Polish?) Women happy? [96]

How to make a Polish woman happy? Treat her with respect, always remember her birthday (and name day). Oh, and give her plenty of oral sex :-)

Love / Polish girlfriend told me we cant have sex because I'm not religious [40]

Is the problem definitely that the OP isn't religious, or that his girlfriend is? It could be that she doesn't want to lose her virginity until marriage. If that's the case, his options are to ask her to marry him, if she agrees, or go without. If she enjoys him touching her then maybe she's happy for them to do things sexually that don't involve penetration. In particular, if she'd let him go down on her, he could potentially get more physical pleasure than is possible from penetration, but she could still think of herself as a virgin.

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2971]

I saw the Magdalen laundries film, and found it very sad. While I respect the right of everyone to follow their religion, I do not agree with one person imposing their beliefs on another. So if a woman wants to have an abortion, that is her right, and nobody should prevent her. Likewise, if she does not want to do so, nobody should force her. Her body, her rights.

UK, Ireland / London Strip Clubs? What's it like for women working there? [74]


How offensive is that? Is that honestly what you think when you hear a Polish woman on the tube? 'Either an escort or a cleaner'?

Love / Polish girls hard in relationships [156]


I'm not sure where to start with this. Have you seen Rozumiemnic's post? What did you think? Had it occurred to you that other women might react similarly to your post? If so, do you think this is a way for you to win a woman's friendship, or love?

Who are you to judge whether a woman is 'below average looking'? Is there something wrong with women 'wearing the trousers in a relationship'? Is this more of a sin if the woman isn't (in your eyes) all that attractive? Who are you to say a man could 'do much better looks wise'? Do men ever fall in love because of something other than looks?

Am I trying t o 'suck up to the ladies'? Well, in my experience, showing respect to women is a much better way to get to know them than throwing insults. You should try it some time :-)

Love / Polish girls hard in relationships [156]

I'm surprised how disrespectful toward women some of the posts are here. Stuff like beautiful women being able to expect more respect from men than 'ugly' ones, the idea of women 'snaring' men for money, the concept of men being in charge and women doing as they're told.

Get real, guys! Poland is a modern European democracy where women have options other than marrying knuckle-draggers. Polish women are generally well educated and hard-working people who can look after themselves so will pair up with men who show them love and respect. Try doing that and you might win the biggest prize ever: the love of an amazing Polish woman!

UK, Ireland / Why Polish girls working in UK as escort more than other Eastern European girls [89]


There's a world of difference between girls having sex with men for enjoyment and prostitution. I'm not in favour of old-fashioned moral standards that expect women to stay pure until they marry (especially if the same doesn't apply to men), but I do think there's something abusive about men using prostitutes.

OK, technically women choose to go into that line of business, in most cases (some are trafficked, do it to pay down family debts or are bullied into it), but even when it's their choice, it's mostly because they feel they have to, not because they enjoy it.

So to clarify, I'm not blaming women who become escorts, but the men who use them. Sleazy, disrespectful and uncaring.

UK, Ireland / Why Polish girls working in UK as escort more than other Eastern European girls [89]


Sorry but I think you are disgusting. This is a terrible way to talk about women, especially ones from a country with a Catholic heritage who almost certainly feel bad about having to sell themselves in this way.

Rather than asking why Polish women represent a high proportion of Central/East European escorts (which someone has answered - it's because more Poles have moved to the UK than other EU accession nationalities), I think you should think about what nationalities and types of men buy sex, and what that says about them.

Maybe if you respected and liked women, rather than treating them like commodities, you'd find one who wanted to have sex with you because she loves you, not because she needs your money. And that woman might also stick around to make your life as a whole enjoyable, not just the odd few minutes of physical release.

Love / Observations and experiences so far about Polish women [93]


One day, when you're old and lonely and many other men your age are living happy lives with beautiful Polish women, you'll think back to comments like this and realize why you're alone. Unless, of course, you recognize the errors of your ways and take a less misogynistic approach to life...

Love / Observations and experiences so far about Polish women [93]


I'm surprised you say this. I've found Polish women mainly to be quite strongly feminist, valuing their education, jobs and independence and not accepting sexist/boorish behaviour from men.

UK, Ireland / My opinion on why Poles & English dislike each other [25]

Please don't judge British people, or people mainly British, by the OP. He/she is not particularly literate and clearly has some fairly strongly held views, which are not typical.

It seems to me pretty clear that many Polish and British people get along well. If they didn't, we wouldn't settle in or visit each other's countries or have loving relationships (including, it would seem, the one that produced one of the OP's parents).

Love / Do Polish girls lose their virginity later than most [14]


If you're into this virginity thing I assume you intend marrying before having sex, and you also don't want to divorce, because then you'd no longer be a virgin so couldn't remarry.

If so, you should think about how long you could live, and how short a time you would be making love with your wife while you were both virgins. Does it still really matter to you? And is it worth ruling out so many women as potential partners for those few seconds?

Love / Polish idealist form of beauty for males and females? [11]


I've found many Polish women to be natural brunettes, and if they are blonde often it is because they have dyed their hair. The girl in the programme, Ola, looked to me to be naturally blonde, as her eyebrows matched her hair colour. I have seen few natural blondes in Poland.

Love / Polish idealist form of beauty for males and females? [11]

I thought Swedish girls were generally a lot taller and bigger built, with blue eyes. Ola looked to me typically Polish, except that she is blonde.

Love / Polish idealist form of beauty for males and females? [11]

That doesn't surprise me. I've been to Russia a couple of times and been amazed at the overdone makeup on the women there. Also they like leopardskin clothes and other unsubtle stuff. IMO Polish women are much mores stylish dressers, but a minority wear brighter and more makeup than women in some other countries. FWIW I think it's not needed: Polish women are on average very beautiful, they don't need artificial assistance :-)

BTW I'm just watching a TV programme called 'Make Leicester British'. It's about a bunch of people from Leicester, from a range of ethnicities, sharing a house together to discuss the rights and wrongs of immigration. One of them is a Polish woman called Ola. She's absolutely gorgeous! Seriously, what is it about Polish women? They're amazing!

Love / Polish idealist form of beauty for males and females? [11]


Intelligent, interested in the world, not over or under weight, healthy skin and hair, non-smoker, natural figure rather than huge breasts or artificially enhanced, ideally long brown hair and brown eyes, no body hair, nice legs.

I forgot to say: also not too much makeup (if any)

Love / Do Polish girls lose their virginity later than most [14]


I don't know. Actually I think it's a rather personal question to ask a woman.
