Anyone in Warsaw? I will be there April 28-30th (this friday and saturday)

Post: #3329

I'm in Warsaw right now. I came here in 2012 too and as far as I remembered, it was nice. I just got here few days ago now and this city is ran by Indians and Arabs. There are a lot of Arabs and Indians as far as I see. It wasn't like that couple years ago.

Instant value due to fact of being a foreigner?

Post: #3332

No. For being guys with good look and solid game.

Post: #3333

But good looks and solid game does nothing in Poland?

Post: #3334

People need to stop trying to declare shit about entire countries....over the course of days or even weeks. This is work and you gotta hit the villages too - I mean the ones that will never have a sheet....maybe a post-it note though

Post: #3335

Just living in the big cities you'll quickly realize that most girls come from said villages. There's no value in wasting your time in a place where all the young people have left because there's no jobs or decent universities.

I'll be in Krakow for a month starting in late September (right when the school year begins) staying in the Stare Miasto, really hope it's worth it.

A lot of italians themselves look like indians or arabs, so why the big complain ..they probably there doing the same you want to do.

A few words on Baltic coast. Nightlife a lot better than Krakow, was fun and generally attitude of girls is a lot better, not much overrun by foreigners. But usual Polish attitudes are the same in the end, flakes, "I don't know you" lines, cockblocking by female friends, dumb and histrionic behaviors. If you are good looking and with a solid game you are going to have hard time here to achieve good results compared to nearest countries and West. At least here it was different than going in klubs being surrounded by horny foreigners, good sensations under this point of view!

I may be true about Krakow whereas I spend the last weekend with some friends in Wroclaw and had a blast (including one good pull)

Post: #3340

If you are working here long term, how tough is it getting into social circles of the locals without knowing Polish? How is social circle game, if any of you tried it?

I refer to 2nd tier cities cities like Gdansk and that area.

I have read that Polish people are pretty uptight to strangers. What have been your experiences?

Cheers.

Post: #3341

Will be coming to visit next weekend (Warsaw) got a hostel in old town for a few nights. Anyone around during the day that would know of some good places to grab some beers and talk to girls? Much appreciated.

Post: #3342

@Hazaer: it is arduous since the mentality is quite close and generally despite a "polite" behavior they don't like foreigners; back in US or England it was a lot easier make friends or find someone to organize a barbecue for example. I am anyway sure that it is a bit easier in a small city when sooner or later you get to know people, and instead considerably difficult in cities like Warsaw or Krakow. Your best bet is with your work collegues but you should be lucky to find people in your age, not married, etc.

The workplace makes a big difference. When I first moved to Poland I was part of a young team, we would regularly meet after work for drinks, house parties, weddings, week-end trips to the mountains etc. Most people had just finished university. Nowadays I work almost exclusively from home as the vibe in the office is completely different.

In general Polish people open up after a few shots. If you don't drink alcohol I can see it as an obstacle to make friends
They're also much more direct and less cliquish. For me that's a huge difference from the West where people are superficial as fuck. They will smile in your face while talking behind your back.

Post: #3344

@pointer, Good to hear they are not cliquish. I am assuming its relative to western countries like the USA or Australia. What about the language barrier in 2nd tier cities? I am referring to a university type environment here.

But I also read that bureaucracy and customer service can be rude to foreigners. Is that your experience?

How are the guys in terms of being red pill/competition to foreigners? What i read on the forum describes polish guys as 'nice' and sometimes nerdy but hardworking for the most part. Are the girls open to foreigners in terms of medium to long term relationships?

Cheers.

Post: #3345

@giacomo Casanova, I am curious you mentioned England, I have heard the English are polite but reserved too. So it seems that its still easier for an english speaking foreigner to integrate better into friend circles in england than in Poland. Northern England is one place I am considering in addition to Polish 2nd tier cities.

Bureaucracy can be a nightmare but your university/company should help you with that. Otherwise just ask around, I've always had help from locals when dealing with bureaucracy.
Customer service is decent, I never had bad experiences but this can vary. When I went to a private clinic to have some dental work done I had much better service than in Canada for example.

University students generally speak English. In second tier cities as long as you are a bit of an extrovert and have no trouble approaching and introducing yourself you shouldn't have any problems. If you are more reserved it can be difficult as Polish people can be shy when meeting strangers.
The girls are definitely open to relationships. I would say that the majority of girls you will date have a 90% chance of developing into a relationship should you choose so. However, nowadays unless the girl is specifically into foreigners, I feel that your value will be lower than a local, especially if you don't speak Polish. Your game will have to be much better than say 4-5 years ago but you can still do very well if you put time and effort. The local guys have trouble approaching and usually rely on their social circle. Failing that they use online dating a lot. They are seen as more stable prospects and the hottest Polish girls are always hand in hand with Polish guys.

We need to compile a list called "Things men say are country-specific rules that are actually global rules".

Actually, good thread idea:

@Phoenix: thing is that in the nearest countries (CR and UA) being a foreigner from a wealthy (not third world) country is an advantage while in Poland is a disadvantage and you have to overcome that with various strategies that might make you really wondering about the mental health of many girls and why they prefer a needy, ugly and poor guy over a foreigner who is making his "homework". Poland under this point of view is terrible, luckily there are also foreign girls here in Erasmus or working, this is kind of fresh air in the desert.

In Krakow tomorrow for a concert.
Guys, what club is still okay after 1 am? Frantic?

@Giacomo: I understand it might be hard sometimes, but come on... I am one of those "wealthy" foreigners and I do have 3 regulars fuck friends + the once in a while ONS. so it is not really the issue

The issue is: you want to get regular 8+ chicks then it starts to be as hard as back home with the language barrier being another handicap.

Went to Krakow for a weekend last october. Frantic at 1 AM was terrible.

The Clubs I went to were:
Coco, Shakers, Frantic and Teatro Cubano. Coco being the worst tourist sausage fest and Teatro being quite good
