Maddogs and Englishmen.

I've noticed over the past year more and more English, Irish, Scottish guys moving over to Poland with their new Polish wifes. What do you think the stereotype is.
Are their similiar traits amongst us new British immigrants.
i.e Age, social group, education, career etc

TEFL teacher who got qualified in order to pull foreign women. Probably middle class, no real ambition, no prospect of an increase in income in either the short or long term.

Am I close?

The TEFL teacher thing was last decade. This decade TEFL teachers are going more to Spain, China and Turkey.

I think you're right Buddy, I do see a lot more Brits/Irish moving to Poland to live with Polish wives met while the girls were living in the UK. Pretty much the exact reverse of what we saw here 12 years ago!

I dont think thats quite right

Probably a few like that, I know there are a lot of us teaching English over here, but there is also another group of people (such as myself) who are self-employed or who have started businesses here with a view to taking advantage of the growing economy. I hope I don't therefore fall in to the category of no real ambition and no prospect of an increase in income!

But you are trying to pull foreign women? ;)

Whilst many expats undeniably fall into Kilkline's category, there is also a growing number who are extremely ambitious and whose earning capabilities have the potential to be significantly greater than they would back in the UK.

Not wanting to steroetype, but characteristics of this group might inculde: educated, married to Pole, left good job in UK and sold house to relocate, significant finacial resources at their disposal, creative, ambitious and innovative, comfortable integrating, positive efforts to learn Polish
