Questions about Polish Men - flirting, cheating, liking? [44]
I think that there is definitely different values here. I used to teach a lot of men at one company, it was a very male dominated industry. I was there for 5 years. In that time I was propositioned by two married men, neither even hid the fact that they were married. As well, they would tell me that escorts were hired for their corporate social functions because there weren't that many women who would be attending. These women were hired as "hostesses" but really their function was to dance, flirt, and if they wanted to make some extra cash they could go back to the hotel room with the men. From the stories that I heard after the parties, there were married men who were partaking. When I asked about this most men seemed to think that it was okay and normal, just a little bit of harmless fun.
This kind of thing happens the world over I'm sure, what shocked me really was how indiscreet the men were about it, there seemed to be no secrecy or shame. From which I drew the conclusion that perhaps there is a different code in Poland for what is acceptable when one is in a relationship.
I must say though that there were other men who were great, treated me with a lot of respect, didn't flirt or try to make me feel as though I were just a woman, as some had. So I guess the other posters are correct, men are men, some are good, some are bad.
