I was reading some threads about situation of women in Poland.

From my impression main difference relates to woman position in Society. We have in general the same rights, education, jobs.... But what I find annoying is peoples attitude to single women- ( spinster?- it is not much used word nowadays in England).

I think that in England there are many independent women ( any ages) who are single. In Poland especially in small towns, villages...is not very easy to be single.....

It is probbaly slowly changing but ....

there is pressure from family to marry but I think that also depends on where you live. In the capital women are more independent.

Resist the pressure, listen to what your head is telling you but follow your heart.

I know. In generql it is easier in big towns.

I have just some single friends in Poland....I sometimes think that their social position in Poland is little different to women like them in UK.

Is it easy for a divorced or seperated woman in Poland to find another man?

I guess it's the same in all cultures. The less baggage you bring with you the easier it is.

That depends on that divorced or separated woman. But I don't think that the fact that she is divorced or separated would be a big of a problem for men if she still is attractive.( I’m not necessarily thinking about the looks)

I agree. One of my cousins is over 30 and single, and every time we have a family reunion my grandma is nagging her when is she going to get married. But aside from the pressure from the side of some family members, what would be the other problems for a single independent woman living in Poland? I can't think of any myself.

'Your next' always comes at weddings and reunions.

Try 'your next' with granny at funerals. That will keep her quiet.

hehehehe Poor babcia. Generally my cousin doesn't take her words very seriously. I don't think I have to refer to such drastic measures.
