Love / Am I The Only One Who Doesn't Find Polish Women Attractive? [93]

Of course he would. First, he'd look for something strange in their faces, then he'd try to talk with each of them about history. That's the most scientific method one could come up with ;)

I've shown the lack of logic in your thinking and in return you tell me I can't read. Nice. I understand very well what you wrote, but that doesn't change the fact that I think most of it is ridiculous. If every time someone doesn't agree with you, you think it's because they are uneducated and don't understand, then in that sense I'm kind of glad you found Polish women unintelligent. And I think it's so funny you consider yourself "well-educated". First of all it doesn't come across from what you write at all, secondly how can you be well-educated at 21, especially since you spend so much time traveling and looking for sex? Are you even studying anything? Cause I don't suppose you work much, moving from one place to another.

And to be clear, I don't write this because I'm offended that you don't like the way Polish girls look (so what? there are other girls around the world, and you obviously can afford trying them all). I don't even care that you think they are uneducated, or that I can't read. I just found this strange that someone can be so delusional about themselves and so judgemental of others.


PS. if you read more, you'd know that phenotype (looks) does have something to do with genotype....

Hi! I don't know how you'd know that people who replied to your post are Polish... But to the point. First you say there's something weird about Polish girls' faces, then you suggest that we are all uneducated. Seems to me like you're forming very general opinions basing like on a few girls you talked to. And I don't know where you found them. I assure you there are many intelligent and well educated girls in Poland, who like to talk about history and politics (especially among students like me). And I don't think we all have one specific look in Poland, one that is so extremely different from say Skandinavia. To make such generalizations wouldn't sound very educated-like ;P

Maybe those girls you talked to could sense you are "looking for someone to have sex with" and that's why they didn't want to talk to you about history or anything else?

And lastly I wouldn't suppose it's our genes you find so off-putting. That would mean that for some reason all the people in Turkey shouldn't be attracted to all Polish people. And yet I've been to Turkey twice with various friends (though they always were female and Polish) and if anything we were getting too much attention (especially the blond ones).

Life / What type of gift should i buy for my hosts in Poland? [22]

Yes, it's true with the handshake that the woman has to reach her hand first. I wouldn't mind, but e.g. my mother would probably notice. With the shoes... if you want to be super polite then take them off, but if they say you don't have to then you really don't have to. Come on, imagine a woman coming in high heels and being asked to take them off. It's not like in Japan ;)

I don't know that much about superstitions but I was taught that it's considered not so polite to hold someone in the doorway and not immediately let them in. So maybe that's why we are usually unwilling to greet in the doorway.

Of course you should remember about always letting women though the door. It is considered a norm and it would definitely be noticed if you didn't do that. I always notice that in foreign movies, because it just looks strange to me to see a man walking in first.

Well in my family we very often get alcohol as gifts from guests and nobody ever thought it's weird or in bad taste, especially wine. So either we are strange or it's a regional thing. But I agree some Italian sweets would be a safer choice, maybe they don't drink

UK, Ireland / Would life in the UK be very hard for a 17 yr old Polish girl? Advice needed please [33]

Hi Natalia,
I used to think the same way when I was in my early teens. I somehow couldn't imagine spending the rest of my life in Poland, everything here seemed to me so... blah (it's hard to explain it better ;)).

Now I'm 23 and studying. My mom wanted me to consider studying in UK, but I knew she would struggle a lot financially if I went (tuition, accommodation, transportation and food - all very expensive). Besides I didn't believe the education I would get there would really be substantially better than here - especially in my field (digital art). I decided to finish my education in Poland and maybe leave later, on my own account. But I wouldn't leave only to find work, I just like UK and it would be nice to spend a couple of years there. And I don't think you can accomplish something there you really can't do here. If you want something and are willing to put in some effort, I think there really are no boundaries here that couldn't be crossed. And things are changing quickly for the better.

If you live in a small town I would encourage you to try studying and living in a bigger city, like someone suggested. And if you really still want to go, wait a couple of years, keep learning English. I think going now is not a good idea.
