Life / Have many Poles had enough of one another? [198]

ha ha hardly but i wouldn't want my kids running around naked for god knows who to see, they're not animals just little people and they should be dressed in something

Travel / After 7 Weeks, why i loved Poland =) [22]


that's not true we love to queue! any reason to queue and we're there forming a line ha ha. perfect example are departure gates at the airports. even if they announce very clearly that they want people with children or people who are sat in the back rows to board the plane first, everybody's lining up anyway :D. most of the time there is a queue before boarding is even announced! as for shoving and pushing, i can't recall anything like that happening to me, you must've been shoving your way through yourself for people to elbow you out of their way. there are always people out there who wanna be first but there is nothing you can do about someone like that, it's either bydło przodem - or sh*t before the shovel ;)

Life / Have many Poles had enough of one another? [198]


yup, seen that at a train station couple of days ago but truth be told there is no toilet there as it's only a small station. still! and yes it's notorious at the beach in most places but i also noticed a lot of small kids still run around naked on the beach in PL and hell knows who's watching them apart from their parents, there are perverts everywhere these days :/.

Life / Have many Poles had enough of one another? [198]


naaa ;) i think people around here know that i don't say stuff about anyone out of spite, just sharing my experiences. i'm sure there are plenty of nice Polish people here who will befriend you unconditionally, if i find one i'll let you know ;). it's natural to help each other out when you're friends but it's not right to be friends with people just because you wanna use them and i seriously had enough of that... i've been really good friends with another Pole at my old workplace and a couple of months after i moved because i got a better job she stopped replying to my txts and when i tried to contact her husband about her whereabouts he said her phone was 'in the shop' and she'd call me when she gets it back. it was all rubbish excuses, she never called and i just left it. i should probably accept that once they can't think of anything else i can do for them i have been rendered useless and therefore - invisible ;D

since the letter incident the Polish neighbour is not having as many screaming arguements with her kid and sister outside as she used to lol

Life / Have many Poles had enough of one another? [198]


it varies and i am happy to see it is getting better and people are getting friendlier. a lot of times yes, you will be treated like any other customer, take your shopping, pay and you get a dry "dziękuję zapraszam" but if you smile or make a joke there are high chances you will be met with a positive response. i have to say that everytime i go, year after year, there seem to be more and more positive people around, smiling and welcoming you into their stores, they will be very helpful and try to say something funny. you just have to encourage them. best thing you can do is have the exact change and offer it before they ask ha ha. in my local Polish shop the lady is ever so friendly and she actually doesn't shut up and talks to everyone who's in there :).


like honey bees? ;) let me put it this way, if you have the honey or they think you have the honey (in place of honey put anything such as money, ability to help out with a job or English documents etc. etc.) they will swarm to you and seek you out and be your best pal. once the honey runs out or they find out there's no honey here they'll act as if you have never met before and like you don't exist. so basically, no gain - no love. this may sound bitter but it is my experience of meeting Polish people in UK and in 99% it proves to be true. i leave 1% for a friend who's been there for 6 years and never let me down. as a rule i am very careful about meeting Polish people around here, I even have a Polish neighbour and as soon as she found out I was Polish (mail delivered to the wrong door) we kind of avoid each other, guess she had some crap experiences too. i am happy to chat and get to know other Polish people but it so often leads to a hidden purpose, a question that you know they will ask about something to do with their agenda that really, most of the time i just don't bother. i can't recall if i ever met anyone British, Asian, European where one of the first questions they would ask about me was 'how much do you earn?' and Polish people ask this notoriously, as if it's a competition. if these Polish people arrive together or are related they will stick together like glue and only let other Polish people in if they can be of any 'assistance'. i would really appreciate not being attacked for this paragraph, i am willing to bet that most Polish people living abroad will have similar sentiments.

UK, Ireland / Is moving to UK now a good idea? - antipolish prejudice of the Brits [231]


no bones to pick, seriously? ;) i live in the Rushmoor district area, to narrow it down a bit, but planning to move to Surrey next year to be closer to work

Love / Don't want others to join us at a table - is it normal for Polish girls to get angry? [161]


if the date was sh*t and one of my friends happened to be at the same bar then HELL YES i would invite them over ha ha. seriously though, if they just come over to say hi and are gone within a few minutes then it's perfectly fine but 2 hours is kinda pushing it. nevertheless, the person you should've complained to about this situation should have been the girl and it would have to be very polite, saying you'd love to arrange a meet up with her friend on another occassion to get to know him better. threatening her friend is wrong on every level, if her friends don't like you then they'll do their best to get you out of the picture. if you are seriously interested in that girl then I suggest you apologise to her friend and to her and say it will never happen again - and make sure it won't. her friend was rude for staying so long but she made him feel welcome, she should have been the one to tell him to leave, not you. you made yourself look like a control freak.

UK, Ireland / Is moving to UK now a good idea? - antipolish prejudice of the Brits [231]


during the riots or in general lol? i never experienced any animosity because of where I'm from, had some problems with fellow Poles living in the area (long story) but the local people are nice, most of the time they don't really pay attention to where one is from. if they have a problem with it, they won't show it or say it to your face (not many tend to be direct), they'll write to a redneck newspaper or log on this forum lol. if the thread author has a job offer, speaks English and is familiar with all the paperwork they'll need (WRS and National Insurance) to work legally then I wouldn't discourage them and wouldn't let them be discouraged by peed off Londoners who seem to be the minority in their city now. the money is still better here and the standard of living, even on a minimum wage, is comfortable. plenty of Polish food and shops, people are familiar with some Polish phrases (mainly swearwords lol) and they'll be friendly as long as you're not being an ignorant ass. less bureacuracy (unless you're applying for benefits I hear), only a short flight away, give it a go.

Love / Foreign Men and Polish Girls for Citizenship [59]

AJ that is some seriously bad advice. do NOT take this as an invite to keep chatting them up!!!! if she says 'p*ss off not interested' then this is exactly what she is telling you, don't try to read between the lines. a real man will not allow a woman to treat him like dirt, offend him and call him names (and I like to think any self respecting woman will not let any guy do this to her to).

see my point is, if you keep being nice and attentive despite all the insults and put downs it will NOT make her like you, she will actually hate you more and more each time you come back with a new line. just leave it, you tried, she doesn't want you and she doesn't want you to keep trying. it reeks of desperation and no self respect.

do not encourage 'shy guys' out there to practice this as it'll not work to their advantage. they say a woman who says no really means yes but it depends HOW she says it! if she's like 'oh best not I really don't think so' while she is giggling and playing with her hair then YES she means YES. if she says 'for the last time NO NO NO go jack off to those few pictures of me you saved off nasza klasa before I blocked you and leave me alone' then you have no chances whatsoever!

to all of you men out there, be men, be strong and if a girl puts you down when all you were doing is trying to get her attention then steer clear from her, she is not worth it. no woman will ever love or respect a man who BEGS for their attention. make a girl WANT your attention, tell her a compliment and say you have to go see your friends now and walk away, she'll be checking you out all evening and it's down the hill from there to take her out! chances are, if the nasty girls who offend you get the cold shoulder, they will come back begging for your attention as it was a cheap trick. but do you want a girl who plays mind games? think about it.

Love / Not used to dating a Polish man [28]


well he obviously wasn't stealing tampons (although *apparently* some people soak tampons in vodka and shove them up their &%$£), he just got caught breaking into the machine and stealing the change that women paid with for tampons, painkillers etc. quite embarassing as I don't imagine there would be a lot of money in there, especially if it's just a pub and not some busy nightclub or something.

Love / Not used to dating a Polish man [28]


lol! ah such a charmer ;). from what I've seen and heard from friends, Polish guys in Poland will treat a woman nicely, offer to pay, open doors, even pull the chair out. it seems they forget about that once they go abroad, although the guys I worked with (not dated them though, they were all married) were always polite to women too, but then their marriages fell apart so I dunno... haven't dated any Polish guys in UK, but a couple of old work colleagues (British) dated Polish men and they sounded a bit like the men from stories above, very elusive after they got their assurance from the girl and never took them out anywhere nice. one was actually sacked from his job at the local pub because he was stealing money from the tampon machine in the ladies room ha ha...

Language / How to pronounce the Polish word "w" in sentences? [15]


yeah, you pronounce it. w is like an equivalent to v, similar sound. Kot jest w domu - Cot yest v (or voo) d'oh - moo


it's more like tso

Love / Goal: Meet a nice Polish girl! [62]

you ask me, i dunno? they will most likely go for a Polish guy in the end, to marry and have kids with, but seems to be a trend to go for 'exotic' guys. it was never something i wanted or fancied, if i met a decent Polish guy here in Uk then i don't see why not but hey, didn't happen. actually i have one stalking me, but that's another story and he's not what i'd call boyfriend material.

Love / Goal: Meet a nice Polish girl! [62]


ha ha. that's too funny, plenty of english men to go around in england. i'm not greedy and i got a bf, but other polish girls seem to prefer turks and pakistanis anyway ;)


for a one night stand i understand (rhyme unintentional) but for a wife? come on.

Love / Goal: Meet a nice Polish girl! [62]

i didn't move to england with a purpose of meeting an english/british bloke. big difference. plus i lived here for nearly 7 years and don't get to meet that many polish men, all of them around here are married or pretending not to be anyway lol

Love / Goal: Meet a nice Polish girl! [62]

Why do you guys keep doing this to yourselves? I know everyone wants the best possible candidate for a partner out there but why does it have to come down to that person being foreign, Polish or whatever else? She will have a completely different mind state to yours (especially if you want a younger woman which I am guessing you do), different upbringing, different values etc. etc. just because she's Polish doesn't mean she will be loyal and honest, it is all about the person. Yes, a lot of Polish women are brought up to be a good wife and mother, to care for their husband and children and not go sleeping around, but them and their parents will most likely expect a Polish bloke, not a single American bachelor, rich or not. I think wealth makes it actually more difficult because as soon as some girls smell the money they will stick to you like glue, but for all the wrong reasons. I would say there is an equal chance for you to find a woman in your country to have all the values and virtues you expect as women in Poland will, and your native local women will have more in common with you too. Saves you long haul flights back and forth to Europe to visit the family whether you like it or not, cos belivee me you will have to do that. I have same questions as Fuzzywickets actually, how do you imagine this 'fishing trip' in Poland? I saw a program about an actual company (can't remember the name) in the US organising trips for American men to Russia in order to help them find wives there, hotel and venues full of single and willing Russian women included. Dunno about 'package holidays' like that to Poland but I am close to being offended at the thought of a western bloke going wife hunting in eastern (Central) Europe because girls over there are supposed to be more submissive and easier to woo, take back home away from their roots and marry. It just doesn't sound right... It's not a flea market!

Language / Is Polish amongst the best-sounding languages in the world? [123]


had a (friendly) disagreement with a Czech person on this matter today lol. i said Czech is funny Polish, he said Polish is funny Czech.

Language / Is Polish amongst the best-sounding languages in the world? [123]


not when chavs speak it. there are so many different accents in UK anyway, not just the 'proper' British English one. I really like Newcastle and Welsh accents.

the majority of people I know find the Polish language to be quite aggressive and super fast, never heard anyone say they thought it was lovely to listen to when you didn't understand it lol. to me French, Russian and Japanese sound really cool. American English works best in songs IMO.

I booked a Queen bed at the Holiday Inn on Zlota for about £40 for the night, thought it was quite cheap and good location but you can probably get it cheaper. Are your friends scottish, Jonny? ;)

Love / Hot Polish girls in clubs - why don't they dance/talk with the most attractive men only? [148]


ha ha ha have you seriously read this before you posted it and not thought just how freakin ridiculous you sound?:

coloured people and people with ponytails, some are ugly but not all of them but many of them and certainly more than you'd like to admit, they are guilty and deserve abuse! they are on MY territory stealing MY women, how dare they, being so ugly and nasty!! i'm average so i should have an average chance not no chance at all! boo hoo hoo! can't wank either cos i strained both my wrists now and my dog avoids me and doesn't stand with its back to me anymore.

no matter how you word whatever your problem with (not)getting laid is, to me and everyone else it sounds like the above paragraph. delusional sociopaths like you tend to become serial rapists and murderers one day.


well, i suppose some people are plain racist and dislike coloured people simply because they are coloured. now you, you dislike them because they, let me quote cos i really like quoting this one, "steal your women". what does that make you? JEALOUS?


maybe move to another country where all the girls date loser virgins? :) those girls don't date you and other guys they deem useless and unattractive so that makes them have bad taste? you need a reality check, it's not about them it's about YOU.


that 's alright then! lol. so tell me which ones deserve it again? all the ones who "steal" your women from you? this is hilarious.


for stealing women from you? we should make a new law for that in Poland, just to ensure that you do get laid at least once before you kick the bucket. :D


i don't believe you'll find anyone's address around here, it's called common sense not to give away stuff like that. everyone knows my name and everyone's seen my pictures back when they were allowed. i also am friends on facebook and nasza klasa with some of this forums members, have chats outside the forum with them so i am me, i don't come here to pretend i'm someone else and try to justify my racism and lack of sex in my life like yourself. i wouldn't say i was anonymous at all, unlike you. we haven't even seen your ugly face. :)


one of the quirks of freedom of speech is that nobody has to agree with you either, and by the sounds of it nobody does. disappointed much? or still deluding yourself that you're onto something?


ha ha oh my, you just described my type ;D. i see i really hit a nerve there since you feel inclined to offend me in this way because of the fact that i disagree looks have nothing to do with your problem with women. your problem with women is YOU jarnowa, YOU. women don't date you because they know better than that.


someone who is physically unattractive, or shall i put not everyones cup of tea, can still be an attractive potential partner. an idiot and ass*hole such as yourself, even if he's good looking (we all know you're obviously not) is like a piece of sh*t in a pretty wrapper. you'll smell the sh*t when you unwrap.


do they have like remote controls that send signals to women's brains? something like in Stepford Wives? ;D or maybe ugly guys are really aliens and they send those waves to implants in their brains and tooth fillings to control them? you are funny as f*ck jarnowa.


bottom line is my friend, everyone around you is getting laid, all you can do is ponder, speculate, offend and accuse anyone who's getting some while you're not. get a life, ass*hole!

Life / Uptight Poles [262]


all depends on the person. i thought i had made friends for life before and they randomly started avoiding me, getting their partner or whatever to make excuses for them. i've even seen people say on this forum about their Polish friends starting to ignore them out of the blue and not giving an explanation as to why that is, and I have to say from my own experience as well that this does happen. so maybe this is not what we're best at after all? :)

Love / Hot Polish girls in clubs - why don't they dance/talk with the most attractive men only? [148]


many MANY many girls all over the world have freakin awful taste in men and to top it off they stick to the same 'type' all their lives! besides, personal taste is not a matter of discussion, it's personal for a reason.


all the racist and ignorant bull&^%$ ever since you joined this forum. the deep rooted jealousy and hatred of any bloke who has some kind of success with the ladies, labelling people and hiding on the internet to stab them in the back because you're too much of a coward to face up to your fears and flaws in real life. oh and lets not forget - an ocean full of self pity.

:)


what's ugly according to you (coloured people and guys with long hair are not ugly, just different) is a matter of taste to each and every one of us. tell you what though, if they can make use of their "ugliness" while at the same time your "averageness" gets you absolutely nowhere, tell me who's the real loser here? as soon as you admit to it you might start making some progress in that sad non existent love life of yours. isn't it depressing that the only love life and romance in your life is the one you watch from afar between other people who are strangers to you? :(


wrong is not the right word here, desperate and sad are far more suitable

Life / Uptight Poles [262]


Can't disagree. I would also like to add resourceful and stubborn to the list. As for salaries, the money doesn't seem to go very far, with pays really low and employers expectations really high. Yes the Polish Zloty got stronger against Euros, Dollars and Pounds but also since joining the EU prices continue to go up. That's where Polish resourcefulness comes handy, but kombinowanie can be very stressful and leaves a lot of Poles grumpy and hard faced ;).

It's funny to see you post a thread asking questions about why Polish girls go for such and such guys everytime you see them hook up with everyone else but you :). Like someone said on the previous page, maybe your inner ugliness shows on your face? :)

Life / Uptight Poles [262]


you should've shouted after her "no point running now, it's already in your lungs!!" ;)

I see your point, I probably wouldn't hang out with people who were doing something i couldn't accept, instead of hanging out with the and whining about it or demanding they stop. Respect is something that works both ways and hell, there are much more upsetting things people can do to you out there than smoking in your presence. Can't believe the arrogance of some people sometimes, patronising and demanding things for no other reason but "because I say so".
