1.)Put your toys back in the pram redsox.
2.)How can a thread about "Polish chicks" be intellectual?
3.)Now,if you are indeed in Poznan,you will have,no doubt,met the expat teaching community there.You know Faxe for footy on a Sunday,BSA for footy on a Saturday,all night drinking in Dragon 2 or 3 days a week, maybe Kish or Brogans for a gig,Dali for a boogie,5 a side twice a week...etc etc.Partying doesn't make people uninteresting.
4.)Can you explain to me why most of the Americans I have met in Poznan,Bydgoszcz and Warsaw are teaching unqualified,if they are really there to teach?Oh, alot are also working illegally...
Now back to the op....Polish ladies are beautiful but the things I've seen there would never happen in the UK ie tall,beautiful, well dressed woman with ugly,guitar playing,broke,skinflint.(Except for the Kate Moss /Pete Docherty thing).
Nuff said.

in America if we want a beer we go to the bar and order individually.

I didn`t mind rounds in Poland but I don`t like doing rounds when other people order expensive drinks.
And I certainly don`t like paying for more than I order. So if I drank 12 zl of beer that is all I would pay. Nothing cheap about that.
I never go to a bar unless I have enough money in my pocket.

back to women, as expats I can agree that since we live transient lifestyles, Polish women wouldn`t mind have flings with us. But sometimes, that is all it is.

I think I had a hard time getting used to the monoculture which is Polish society. Some people could be rather insular and ignorant about the rest of the world, or of blacks, Jews, gypsies, Ukrainians, etc.
And as a protestant (at least brought up as one) I could never get too comfortable living in a Catholic country which is too conservative for my tastes.

To all you guys from the Commonwealth,
Back in the "real" world, in California, and especially in the East Coast, Greek life is the epitome of good times and made us, Americans, the model to follow. We should give you lessons in the correct bar protocol. No wonder we are the center of attention for the Polish girls with their ogled eyes on us all the time.
It's hard to miss all that froth coming from the stuff you posted. A thing that bids fair to become legendary is your bad reputation with Polish girls growing as much as your waistline, as well as your success rate in the dating scene, receding as much as your hairline; let alone, your bad habit of delaying payment for the drinks you order, "start a tab" nonsense. For rounds, you pay as you go. Such a simple rule would help you score some much needed points to gain our much sought casual acquaintance.
I was brought up in the frat house circuit lifestyle. When I got to Poland, I've never seen worse drinkers, more contemptible liars, with throes of wanting to have a good time, one night stands and whatnot than the Queen's English teachers, and ex-pats for that matter. You people of all need some class, acquire some posture. You need to learn how to order, learn to drink whatever everyone else is drinking, and not raising eyebrows by ordering some snobbish grog. Pay right away as you order.
And when you presume that is us, the North Americans, who don't know bar protocol, I get uncomfortably amused by it.
Equally amusing was how some claim that you need a teaching qualification or certification of some sort to work in some language schools. And I mean to connote "some language schools". At any rate, you need some college so you can be above the academic fray. But it shouldn't be an absolute requirement. Any college graduate is able to teach as well as anyone with a teaching certificate.
