Culture & Women

I don't think that this is specific to nationality.

Could it not be that the alcohol was taken into consideration and the girl and boyfriend were just acting in an adult fashion. Why fight when you don't have to.

of course your right but the girl seemed pretty shaken up to me when we were speaking afterwards, i mean at least the guy should have been shown the door.

I'l get straight to the point, firstly, i'll tell you what happened and then i'll tell you what would of happened if everybody concerned was British.

Hmm... maybe the issue there is that she didn't feel comfortable with suggestive language etc.

I'm not saying that I'm more hardened to it, but maybe it would take a hell of a lot more to shock / make me feel uncorfortable by comparison? Does that make sense?

gues nationality of this tourists :P ? and gues country where it happens all the time ;)

believe me we could write here very long stories about tourists who have heard that Poland is land of the most bueatiful women :P

ok maybe it was a little bit cutting post, I just had to post it :P :)

U've seen nothing yet Tornado2007, I saw Japanese men touching young girls IN FULL VIEW and in broad daylight on trains. The looks I got when I told a dirty old lech (yes, not Lech the beer but a lecherous old goat) to keep his hands off were staggering. I asked my Japanese friends why that was and they said I shouldn't have done that. Puzzled, I asked why not. They said that Japanese girls will never scream on a train as they will be rejected by their fellow Japanese, it's culturally forbidden to break the 'wa' or harmony.

Needless to say, I was shocked. I later learned that there is a word called 'chikan' in Japanese which is specifically a train pervert. That's harmony taken to extremes, basic morality teaches u not to touch schoolgirls when u r 3 times their age. Yes, they are cute but that's no excuse.

then i'll tell you what would of happened if everybody concerned was British.

however was powerless to do anything as it was not my place to do so.

Ok, again, I don't know the full set up, but surely you would have come off well if you'd stepped in and said something along the lines if "Come on mate - back off... you're out of line here". You'd probably have gathered some support from other blokes there.

That's not always how it happens for the all-British scenario at all. I think Wroclaw has it.

Ok tornado, why you posted this topic in Polish culture section ?

as long as I read this forum I started to understand way of English communication. You posted example of drunk Pole ...

I feel you are suggesting something ...

Fristly women in Polish tradition has very high possiton, we celebrate "womens day" Polish females have very simillar earnings to Polish males, and we treat our girls very well.

I think I know what are you trying to say and the fact that you do it in cultural way doesnt change anything.

Personaly Polish towns are invaded by thousends of groups of young english people who have heard that it is land of "the nicest girls from all over the world" ...

and we all know how do they behave ... it isn't just Polish opinion, ask any French, German, Italian person about English males on tour ... and their behaviour.

i was thinking more of an Eastern European culture rather than specific nationality, thanks for your in put though.

Secondly i think you'll find in two of my posts on this forum i have specificly said i'm not pointing out a single 'nationality' whether, polish, lithuanian or slovak.

calling it an 'Eastern European' thing is still lumping it together, IMO. You don't have to specifically say Polish, Lith, etc... but when you claim that this is an aspect of "Eastern European" culture, thats more or less the same thing.
i.e if you found a post that was lumping all UK people together and saying, oh I don't mean England, Scotland or Wales specifically, I just mean that its a 'UK' thing, I'm sure you wouldn't be too happy about that either.

ok fair point, but i wasn't specificly making a 'point' about the culture i was asking a 'question' so to be mobed with 'your slagging poles' isn't really valid because i was asking the question not making a point

ok fair point, but i wasn't specificly making a 'point' about the culture i was asking a 'question' so to be mobed with 'your slagging poles' isn't really valid because i was asking the question not making a point

and I asked the question. Is it normal bahaviour in Uk ? I pointed out.

This has nothing to do with Eastern European culture...most Polish guys I know would knock the other guy out, and as for Polish girls, they would probably be even more compelled to slap the guy in the face.

read the story, not everybody involved is polish, i accept what your saying but hay, people just can't wait to pop of a few rounds before looking at the target :)

I was just saying it has nothing to do with Eastern Europe(the nationalities in question) and I was giving an example of what would happen if all Polish were involved.

to the drunk guy (ok, so he was Polish in this case, but could so easily have been Swedish / American / Japanese / whatever)?

weren't you more interested in the Lithuanian girl's response to the drunk guy
