5. Generally, Polish women despise bragging, the "American way" of evaluating oneself. Being modest pays off when others loose points due to their wild imagination and an excessive self-esteem.
That's very stereotypical - the "American Way" comment. I've seen
Brits I've worked with in the past (automotive industry), out-brag
Americans to the point of being ridiculous. They talked about everything from the
town they lived in, to
places they've been on "holiday," to
how much they can drink, to their local or favorite
football club, to
how much money they make... shall I continue? ...
I've seen
Polish men do this too... Friday or Saturday night at the club, to pay a measly $2 or $5 entrance fee, they have to pull out a wad of money (their entire pay for the week, no doubt), and hand the doorman a $50 or $100 to pay that tiny fee, making sure anyone within a 30 foot radius sees
all the money they have. Again, ridiculous.
This isn't an "American" thing. Oh, I did it too occasionaly when I was younger, but the fact that you have a penis and too much testosterone coursing through your system makes you feel you need to do this.
No, it's not an
ethnic thing; it a
maturity thing.
