What are Polish women like? Poles: character, national traits, culture. Mentality of the Poles. They love to complain

1. Poles often complain that they got the mountains in the south, and the Baltic Sea in the north, and it doesn’t warm up very well. But we were lucky with the lakes formed after the glacier collapsed. The Masurian lakes are a favorite place for yachting or kayaking, the latter being very popular.

2. Polish weather can be very unpredictable and local residents constantly complain about it: in winter, by European standards, it is frosty (up to -25), and in summer it is not warm enough. In general, it is in the Poles’ blood to be dissatisfied with something. In spring, on the same day, rain can start and stop 3 times, hail can fall, after which everything dries out in the sun without a trace. Seasons, as is customary in Europe, do not begin on the first day, but according to the astronomical calendar, so you shouldn’t congratulate everyone on December 1 on the beginning of winter, they won’t understand.
3. Poland is quite homogeneous ethnically, linguistically and culturally. Nevertheless, it includes a large part of Silesia (Szląsk), which went to the Poles after World War II. The region is very specific, especially the industrial-mining Upper Silesia with its center in Katowice, with its own incomprehensible Slön dialect and its own opinion about the rest of Poland.
4. Economically more developed western Poland is often indignant that it feeds lazy people and drunkards from the poor agrarian eastern part.
5. The problem of internal migration from rural areas to big cities in Poland is not very acute; the infrastructure is quite well developed. It’s a common story when a Warsaw family, living in an apartment, begins to build a country house, after which they move there and rent out the apartment.
6. During its history, the territory of the country was divided many times, as evidenced by the fact that St. Nicholas brings Christmas gifts to children in Warsaw, in Poznan - Gwiazdor (from the word star), in Krakow - Angel, in Silesia - baby Jesus, and in the eastern regions there is even Santa Claus...
7. Polish small businesses and NGOs often live off subsidies and grants from the European Union. My friend received 40 thousand euros for opening this way kindergarten in your suburb and a free course on business economics to boot.
8. Since 2007, there has been a law according to which 1% of your taxes must be transferred to the activities of public benefit organizations; you choose the organization yourself. That's why there are pitiful advertisements on the street - give 1% to children in Africa or to a dog shelter.
9. There are no homeless animals here. Nuclear power plants too, everything is fine with the environment. In the cities on the banks of the Vistula there are a lot of river gulls, and parks are teeming with squirrels. In my residential area of ​​Warsaw, I came across hedgehogs more than once in the evening.

10. Poland is home to the largest number of white storks (23% of the world population). Like the bison from Belovezhskaya Pushcha, storks are one of the symbols of the country.
11. Garbage separation exists, although it is not strictly controlled. There are many places where containers are placed for collecting old clothes, I don’t know what they do with them later.
12. Since 2004, Poland has been a member of the EU, and since 2007, a member of the Schengen area.
13. Since the beginning of the 90s, a wave of emigrants has poured out of the country, mainly to England. As living standards have improved, many have returned, but it is still not uncommon for a doctor working in a Polish clinic to fly to London for the weekend, where he receives his weekly salary at a time.
14. State Polish clinics are free, but there are not as many of them as grandmothers with illnesses. Therefore, you need to make an appointment with a therapist about a month or two in advance or go to a private clinic. Of course, this does not apply to emergency cases.
15. Chicago is considered the second city in the world for the number of Poles living there.
16. As the Poles themselves say, they do not like two nations - Russians and Germans. You can find combined monuments to the victims of Nazism and the communist system. However, such dislike is more stereotypical than real, and only manifests itself during sports competitions.
17. I almost never encountered hostility towards Russians. Often, on the contrary, everyone is very friendly and hospitable, they will always tell you the way, if necessary, call you from your phone, and sing “May there always be sunshine.” For some reason everyone knows this song.
18. The Russian language is understandable to the majority of the older generation, as it was compulsory in schools of the Polish People's Republic. However, in the 90s, as a forcefully imposed language, Russian ceased to be studied, and only recently began to return and become popular again.
19. For the Germans, the Poles remain a poor and cold neighbor without electricity, stealing their cars. Hence the common jokes like this one: What does a Polish triathlon look like? - I came to the pool on foot and returned on a bicycle.

20. On the other hand, the Germans actively take advantage of the proximity and low cost of Poland and go on weekends to Wroclaw or Szczecin, which once belonged to Germany. From the latter to Berlin it is a little more than 100 km, buses start from 10 zlotys, and all excursions are offered in two languages ​​- German and Polish.
21. To the untrained ear, the Polish language is just a bunch of hissing words, especially if you don’t listen closely. For example, the word happiness sounds like “shchenschche”.
22. Despite its kinship with all the languages ​​of the Slavic group, in Polish there are many words that mean completely different things than in Russian:?sklep - store?dworzec - station?zapomnic (read as “remember”) - forget?zakaz - ban?urodliwy - beautiful?dywan - carpet?owoce - fruit
23. Tanya means cheap in Polish, so it’s better for girls with this wonderful name to introduce themselves as Tatyana. “Tania odziez“ is not a fashionable designer collection, but a common name for a second-hand store.
24. If somewhere on the streets of Krakow you ask how to get to the library and they answer you “easy”, do not take the answer as a mockery. "Simply" means "straight".
25. Spoko - in Poland it is a standard phrase in almost any life situation and means something like “Spokoha”. Poland's song at the Euro was "Koko-koko, Euro Spoko" performed by a choir of grandmothers.
26. The traditional song for birthdays, weddings and any other events where you need to wish for something is “Sto lat!”, they wish for a hundred years, respectively.
27. Poles call only black pepper pepper; for the rest (including chili) they use the word “paprika”, very surprised at how we distinguish which pepper we are talking about.
28. Other words that evoke emotion: adidasy - sneakers, rajstopy - tights, kawaler - bachelor.
29. Polish girls are really very beautiful, they dress tastefully, but not provocatively. Bright colors, miniskirts and high heels usually characteristic only of representatives of a certain profession.

30. Polish cuisine is very close to ours, but less fatty. Traditional dishes are Russian perogi (pierogi ruskie), Ukrainian borscht (barsz ukrainski) and Greek fish (ryba po grecku). They can be easily found in every restaurant.
31. Russian perogi are dumplings with cottage cheese and potatoes; in Poland they are often fried after boiling. Keep this in mind if you decide to buy it in a store; usually they are already boiled and it is better not to dip them in water again. They don’t bake the usual pies in Poland.
32. Another national dish is bigos - stewed cabbage with meat and smoked meats. Depending on how homemade the bigos was, the recipe varies: from a mountain of meat with rare glimpses of cabbage to a plate of cabbage with pieces of sausage.
33. Soups are where any holiday begins in Poland. The obligatory first course at Christmas is mushroom soup or red borscht (a single-syllable beet soup with seasonings). Red borscht is often not eaten, but drunk, so do not relax if on Christmas Eve you receive a glass of liquid that looks like mulled wine.? Yes, you can stumble upon borscht in coffee machines, but again, I don’t recommend stumbling into it.? On Easter they eat zurek - soup on sourdough with white sausage and egg, and even a wedding feast begins with soup. However, not everyone eats soup for lunch on ordinary days.
34. What took me a long time to get used to was the fact that Poles almost never eat bread with soup. Well, in catering establishments bread is served very rarely as a starter. But you can try zurek in a bread pot (the pulp is removed and the bread is turned into a bowl).
35. One of the brightest holidays in Poland is All Saints Day on November 1. It’s somewhat similar to our memorial Sunday, only on a larger scale. People come to the cemetery and at dusk they light candles in huge quantities, it becomes as bright as day. In general, in terms of the number of lamps placed around monuments and cemeteries, as for me, the Poles are world leaders.
36. On the other hand, it is in vain to come to Poland as a tourist to admire the real Catholic Christmas. On December 24 at 15.00 all shops, museums, cafes, bars close and so on for the next three days. At this time, Poles mostly gather with their families, sit at home, drink, eat and watch TV. On Christmas evening, my friends and I found only one working Kebab for two million Warsaw and a couple of stalls with alcohol, and a day later the only open pizzeria for a huge shopping center.
37. An employer has no right to force his subordinates to work on Christmas, so only small family shops or shops at gas stations can be open. At the last one we were once offered to buy a half-liter bottle of 96% alcohol. They don’t fight alcoholism by selling alcohol only by prescription.
38. Polish fast food number one is kebab. The composition is still the same shawarma, only twice as large and placed in half a loaf, eaten with a plastic fork, since everything does not fit into the mouth at once.
39. Pizza in pizzerias often comes with an additional jar of sauce (garlic or ketchup). This makes the pizza more juicy. I have never seen anything like this in other countries.

40. As a remnant of the Soviet era, many cities in Poland still have so-called “milk bars,” originally subsidized by the state. Food there has always been and remains cheaper than in other places. For 10–15 zlotys (100–150 rubles) you can have a full meal. True, the rules in milk bars remain very Soviet.
41. One of the main exported products from Poland is fruits and vegetables. You can buy them here quite cheaply: for 4–5 zlotys (40 rubles) a kilogram of peaches. The same applies to prices for meat and dairy products.
42. Among the products that are either not available in Poland or are very difficult to find: beer crackers, fermented baked milk, condensed milk, dumplings and taranka (Poles cannot stand its smell).
43. Contrary to the prevailing opinion even in Poland, Poles do not drink that much and share stories among themselves about the dryness of Finns who are on a drinking binge from Friday to Monday, or about the 5 liters of beer drunk by a German in the evening.
44. On the other hand, vodka is one of the symbols of the country. When my friends and I sat down in a cafe in the center of Warsaw on the first day and ordered beer, the waiter looked at me with a smile and said: “Guys! You’re in Poland, take vodka!”? Meanwhile, they won’t argue that vodka was invented in Poland, and not in Russia.
45. Traditional Polish vodka - zubrowka with a blade of grass inside. To solder the female half, it is often mixed with apple juice; this mix is ​​called “charlotte”.
46. ​​In Poland there are no chemical low-alcohol drinks like a screwdriver, but there are plenty of different varieties of honey and fruit beer.
47. In addition, ordering regular beer at a bar with the addition of raspberry or ginger juice, and then drinking it from a straw is considered quite normal.
48. Poles are very athletic, they are not overweight, many run, go to the gym, dance, salsa studios are growing here like mushrooms.
49. The number one sport is football. Despite the mediocre performance of the national team and the weak domestic championship, almost everyone in Poland is an ardent football fan. Somewhere in Lodz you can easily be beaten if you don’t correctly identify which local club (LKS or Widzew) you are a fan of.

50. Since Polish clubs and the national team fail quite often, a popular chant is “Polacy, nic sie nie stalo” (“Poles, nothing happened”).
51. Even the current championship of the Polish representation in volleyball in the World Volleyball League has not particularly shaken the championship of football.
52. On the site of the current National Stadium in Warsaw, built specifically for Euro 2012, there used to be the largest bazaar in Eastern Europe. There you could buy everything from smuggled Ukrainian cigarettes and pirated CDs to any clothes and documents. This part of the right bank of Warsaw is called Prague, and just a couple of years ago the area was considered the most criminal and dangerous in the capital.
53. By the way, Poland is the first European country to protest en masse against ACTA, which restricts the freedom of dissemination of information on the Internet. Whatever you say, torrents are very close to the Poles.
54. Polish roads can hardly be called ideal. There were almost no wide and fast highways connecting major cities, especially before the European Football Championship. Now the country has set a course for improving its infrastructure, and wherever you go, new roads are being built everywhere.
55. Poles pass their license on average 3-5 times. This is one of the remnants of the old corrupt system. Nowadays it is impossible to bribe an examiner, there are cameras installed in cars, but in order for the instructors’ work to pay off, test takers are deliberately flunked on minor mistakes.
56. Poles are quite punctual. The system also allows for this public transport with a detailed schedule of all routes at each stop. Moreover, the schedule is almost not violated.
57. Of all the Polish cities, only Warsaw has a metro. The only line today was launched in 1995, the opening of the second line is planned for a year, but for now the entire Polish capital has been carefully dug up by metro construction.
58. According to legend, after the war, J. Stalin, as a gratuitous gift from the Soviet people, offered to the Polish people to build either a metro or a palace of culture in Warsaw. The Poles chose the second, for which they received the tallest building in Poland today, built according to the type of Stalinist high-rises - the 237-meter Palace of Culture and Science.
59. During World War II, 85% of Warsaw was destroyed; the retreating Germans wanted to raze the city to the ground. There were proposals to leave the ruins and move the capital to another place. Today's Warsaw is an entire city rebuilt. Restoration proceeded at an accelerated pace, block houses were hastily built in the style of socialist realism, which is why most Poles do not like Warsaw, they say that it is very noisy and gray.

60. The Old Town (historical center) of Warsaw was restored based on paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries and was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List as an example of a thorough restoration of a destroyed heritage. In other cities of Poland, restoration is not always in a hurry, since restored houses suddenly turn up with owners who owned the house before the war.
61. When you say Auschwitz, the Poles correct you - the concentration camp is correctly called Auschwitz, since it was built by the Germans. In May of this year, Obama’s speech in which he used the phrase “Polish death camp” caused a massive resonance here.
62. Urban transport in Poland is an integral system. In Warsaw, the same ticket allows you to travel on the metro, city bus, regular or tourist tram, commuter train, and even the Vistula ferry that runs in the summer.
63. The variety of tickets is also amazing: from 15 minute tickets in Krakow for 2 zlotys (? 20 rubles) and 20 minute tickets in Warsaw for 2.60 to plastic travel cards with replenishment for 90 days for 220 zlotys.
64. Children under 7 years of age, honorary blood donors who have donated more than 18 liters, people over 70, as well as luggage, bicycles and pets ride for free.
65. Tickets can be purchased from vending machines or kiosks. Moreover, a kiosk is a general name for small shops with a basic set of products and newspapers, and a kiosk can be located anywhere, including shopping centers.
66. There are trolleybuses only in three cities in Poland: Lublin, Gdynia and Tych.
67. At night, night buses run in all major cities; their route differs from the usual one and covers the route of several day buses. Everything that is prohibited on public transport (smoking, drinking alcohol, damaging fleet property, fighting) can be more than enjoyed on night buses.
68. Despite the abundance of modern buses with low seating, air conditioning, and a plasma panel showing the route and current location, about a quarter of the buses in Warsaw are old Ikaruses. They often act as night buses, and even if they finish it off, it’s not a pity)
69. Yellow traffic lights in Poland are called orange.

70. The complexity of transport interchanges in Warsaw is frightening due to ignorance. For example, in the capital there are more than fifty Dw Wilenski stops, each has its own number and can be located five hundred meters from another with the same name. And some bus routes contain up to three stops of the same name in a row.
71. Cyclists in Poland feel quite confident. Sidewalks are often divided into two parts - for people on legs and for people on wheels. It’s better not to go on the bike path, they might run over you. Since August of this year, automatic bicycle rental stations have been operating in Warsaw. The principle is the same as in Paris or London - 20 minutes are free, up to 1 hour - 1 zloty, then more expensive. In Krakow and Wroclaw, such rental has been operating for several years; the capital does not immediately adopt innovations.
72. The sirens of emergency services (ambulance, fire, police) are simply deafening and clearly sound louder than required. They say this is done so that the Poles know where their taxes go.
73. Trains, unlike buses, are not particularly punctual. The delay time at the station is announced in minutes and sometimes you hear that the train is late by 90 or even 300 minutes.
74. Tickets for travel in 2nd class carriages are often sold in unlimited quantities and without seats, so you have to stand very tightly in the vestibule for several hours in a row. There were times when the train was late due to the fact that all the passengers could not be crammed into the carriage.
75. Poles are indeed very religious, although at first glance this may not be noticeable. The churches here use the McDonald's slogan - the nearest one is five minutes away. And most importantly, Catholic churches are packed to capacity during services. This is probably facilitated by the nature of the Catholic service, which is fundamentally different from the Orthodox one - you do not need to stand all the time, and the priest (Catholic priest) will certainly tell a couple of jokes during the mass. And to bless food on Easter, you don’t need to wake up at five in the morning (they do this the day before on Saturday).
76. Catholics receive communion only with bread (payment), only the priest drinks wine, and, given the number of masses, he should be very cheerful in the late afternoon.
77. The Catholic Radio Maria and the Trwam TV channel are popular in certain circles, often manipulating the opinions of religious voters.
78. The Catholic Church has the right not only to perform weddings, but also to officially register a marriage, without going to the registry office.
79. And yes, abortion is prohibited in Poland.

80. Figure of Pope John Paul II c. Poland is practically inviolable, and it is better not to argue or joke about the pontiff with the Poles. In every city you will find a street named after him, a monument and a school, if the school is lucky, of course.
81. Lech Walesa, the first president of post-communist Poland, leader of Solidarity, enjoys almost the same unshakable love and reverence. Other world-famous Poles - the composer Frederic Chopin, as well as Marie Sklodowska-Curie, who discovered polonium and radium - are often mistaken for French outside the country, and the latter's maiden name is generally omitted.
82. Despite the power of the church, opposing views in society are also strong. In the last parliamentary elections, more than 10% of Poles voted for the Palikot Movement, a newly formed party advocating the cessation of funding for religious organizations, the removal of crucifixes from the Sejm hall, and, meanwhile, the legalization of same-sex relationships, abortion and marijuana. From this party, a transsexual and an openly gay person entered the Polish Parliament for the first time.
83. It’s hard to say that the school is separated from the church. In 9 out of 10 schools each!!! The classroom will have a crucifix hanging on the walls. In addition, from first to sixth grade there is a religion lesson twice a week, usually taught by Catholic sisters. There is only one religion without the possibility of choice - Catholicism. The lesson is optional, but few refuse.
84. A couple of years ago in Wroclaw a group of parents protested against crucifixes in classrooms, the crosses were removed, a week later a group of their opponents twice as large came out, and the crosses had to be returned.
85. The school system differs from what we are used to and is divided into 3 levels. Podstawowka - junior grades from 1st to 6th, gimnazjum - equivalent to grades 7–9, liceum - senior grades (10–12). Each of these schools is separate from the previous one, often located in a different building, and when a student moves to the next class, he has to change not only the place, but also the team. This was done, it seems, so that the older grades would not offend the younger children.
86. Children in Polish schools feel more free than in ours, compulsory school uniform no, they often wear replaceable slippers. Due to the lack of a sufficient number of benches in the corridors, during breaks we often see schoolchildren lying on the floor among the rubble of backpacks. Old school teachers, as expected, blame the lack of discipline.
87. The analogue of the graduation party in Poland is called “stodnevka” and is organized one hundred days before the final exams (matura). The obligatory first dance is the polonaise. Poland is the only country where you take part in such a ball even before leaving school.
88. In the last grades of school, students take additional classes with tutors, often in English, even if it is not needed for admission. To get a job, even middle managers are required to speak English, so the level of English among urban youth is quite high.
89. Poles enter higher education institutions at the age of 18–20. Student academic year, unlike school, starts in October. Higher education in Polish, including for foreigners, is free in many universities, which attracts foreign students especially from Belarus and Ukraine, but one can only hope for a scholarship in rare cases.

90. It’s hard to blame every Pole for being too polite and too cultured, but if you’re squeezed in the middle of the bus, don’t worry about missing your stop - half the bus will come out to let you through. After a meal, it is customary to say thank you to everyone, not even to the hostess for the prepared dishes, but to your interlocutors for the company.
91. In Warsaw, wherever you go, you will come across a theater. There are definitely more theaters than cinemas. According to Polish Wikipedia, there are 47 theaters and only 36 cinemas in the capital, and not a single circus building. In other cities the trend continues.
92. In Poland, few people have heard of Barbara Brylska; she is definitely not among the top ten Polish actors. But the diminutive form of the name Barbara sounds very cute - Basya.
93. All films in cinemas, except cartoons, are shown without dubbing with subtitles. Perhaps this is also one of the reasons for good knowledge in English in the masses.
94. The price of cinema tickets is the same regardless of the seat, you just buy the one you like from the available ones.
95. For the use of public television and radio, Poles must pay about 200 zlotys per year, but most do not pay, since payment is not mandatory. They say that in this case they can come to you at any time to check whether you are watching TV and fine you.
96. Relatively cheap cable Internet can be obtained by signing a contract for at least a year, otherwise it will be three times more expensive. The technical support here is simply terrible, it’s impossible to get through by phone, and if you do get through, you rarely get any clear information. Mobile Internet and telephone communications are inexpensive, and when you change operator, you keep the old number.
97. The queue at the post office, in banks, in government agencies is usually electronic according to numbers, there is enough bureaucracy, but it looks quite bland: when filling out forms, up to 5 corrections are allowed, officials do not yell and do not pretend to be the navel of the earth. Although residents of Western Europe say that there are too many people working here in places where they would have had a machine gun long ago.
98. Poland is a country where many things are not allowed. Drinking alcohol in public places is prohibited; it is vigilantly monitored by the police, the fine is 100 zlotys (about 1000 rubles). Moreover, the fine for drinking on the go is higher.
99. Most Poles are very patient guys, as they have to wait a lot at traffic lights. For crossing a red light at a zebra crossing you need to pay 100–200 zlotys, outside a pedestrian crossing 50, but for crossing the road in the wrong place only 30.
100. In parallel with the usual masculine and feminine silhouette To indicate a toilet, Poland uses its own icons: a triangle for “M” and a circle for “F”. Try to comprehend the deep symbolism of this yourself.

IN modern world The phrase that “there is no more beautiful queen in the world than a Polish maiden” is very common, and it’s worth looking into whether this is really so?

Today, it is believed that the appearance of Polish women (by the way, in Russian the word poleka is rarely used and is considered outdated; according to the new rules, it is correct to say “polka”) attracts with its Slavic charm and attractive facial features. How are Polish women unique and why is their appearance considered so unusual in the world?

A little history

Poles are a Slavic people, the bulk of whom live in Poland. Official registration says that 36 million Poles live in this country, of which there are slightly more women than men.

Another approximately 20 million people with Polish nationality live outside the state - in America, Germany, Canada and Ukraine. True, today the country’s authorities have decided to give people of Polish nationality the opportunity to return to their historical homeland, so they are offering material privileges in the form of benefits and a Pole’s Card for those who want to live in Poland.

This is interesting! By the way, Poland has always been famous for the charm and charm of its ladies, and if you believe historical data, then one of them was even able to win the heart of Napoleon himself. History suggests that Polish women were a certain standard of elegance and style, which was manifested not only in appearance, but also in the style of clothing, makeup and behavior.

The famous Polish “Wanda” made it possible for fashionistas of the Soviet Union to buy Polish handbags, cosmetics and perfumes, which were considered the best (with the exception of French analogues). Wherein famous perfumes Almost half of the USSR country was fragrant under the name “Perhaps”, which already says a lot.

Polka - what is she like?

The typical Polish girls' appearance is a bit reminiscent of German girls, because they boast a rather fleshy nose and a wide mouth. The idea of ​​a woman of this type may immediately turn out to be erroneous, because the imagination pictures a not particularly attractive girl, somewhat similar to a man.

Related news:

However, many are mistaken, and for this it is worth remembering at least the famous Polish actress Barbara Brylska, who played in the most New Year's Soviet film of all those that are shown to this day. Everyone can agree that she is attractive, and certainly no one would think of arguing with this statement.

It is noteworthy that Polish women usually look a little older than women of the same age in Ukraine or Russia. The reason for this is the posture, which immediately catches the eye - beautifully straightened shoulders and a straight back - this is the calling card of any representative female in Poland.

Once upon a time there was even a phrase used that said that the border between Poland and the Soviet Union could be determined precisely because of the way local women held their backs.

A standard Polish girl does not identify herself with the image of a fatal beauty, as, for example, Russian women do today - long hair, which must shine and be perfectly smooth, lips inflated with fillers and thick artificial eyelashes. Polish women stand for natural beauty, so among them you won’t see (or you will see, but very rarely) women dressed provocatively and wearing aggressive makeup. And in the modern world, this is precisely what gives them their charm, and it is not surprising that many call them beautiful.

Character as an appearance trait

When discussing the appearance of Polish women, it must be said that what gives them charisma is not only external beauty and unusualness, but also self-confidence. Anyone who has been to Poland can confirm this, others will just have to believe that Polish women are not just self-confident, their level of self-confidence is off the charts.

Surveys show that 80% of female representatives in Poland consider themselves as attractive as possible. And probably everyone knows the rule that says that if you love yourself, then the whole world will love you. Here it works 100%. At the same time, self-confidence is most likely based on the fact that in the past, golden-haired and laughing great-grandmothers, who defeated even kings with their immediate beauty, were very much appreciated.

Polish girls are quite ambitious and in some ways even sassy. They boast of their lack of complexes and say that they can do anything to achieve their goal. In this case, this does not spoil them, but makes them even more attractive, because, despite their ambitions, they can give in in time and slightly change their principles.

The average image of a Polish girl

As a rule, the typical Polish appearance of a girl is shrouded in an aura of modesty, which almost always sets them apart from the company of people of other nationalities. A Polish woman is a modest bow or hair clip, but at the same time a sly look and an interesting conversation.

Such a simple recipe is enough to make a man fall in love with you, which, in fact, representatives of this nationality actively use.

Modest appearance compensated by easy contact with people and open behavior. A Polish woman will almost never be bored in a new company. People make contact with her very easily due to her emotional spontaneity.

It is believed that Polish women are so open and ambitious because it is impossible to say unpleasant things to them. However, you need to understand that stranger a woman of this nationality will not let you get too close to her, so, of course, it’s worth observing boundaries.

It has been noticed that Polish women and their appearance in real life look much prettier than in photographs. And experts also explain these facts by charm and self-confidence, which is very rarely conveyed by a photograph. Personal communication makes the appearance of any Polish woman more attractive.

Interesting fact! In the Polish language there is a word - sympatyczny, which denotes not the external qualities of a person, but his behavior, so we can say that Polish girls are incredibly pretty.

By the way, usually Polish girls become ladies literally from childhood, because they are taught to do so.

All Poles have religious qualities, so it is modest to meet clothed girl on the street that goes to the church, you can always. An interesting thing is that on the streets in Poland there are posters with pictures of girls and the inscription “Listen to God.”

Separately, it should be said that Polish women hold rather strict views regarding sexual contact with a partner. This is not to say that they all marry virgins, but there are usually about eight dates before first contact.

For comparison: in Italy or Sweden this event occurs already on the fifth date. Accordingly, beautiful Polish women are also very smart.

TOP 10 most beautiful Polish women

Editor's note: below are the girls written with their first and last names, it is the latter that needs to be emphasized, because in Polish female surname the usual one ends in the letter “a”, while in the same situation in Russian the ending “aya” is used. Example: Solowska - Solovskaya.

In Poland, like in any other country, there are women who are ideals, and photos of the appearance of Polish women who are included in the ranking of the 10 most beautiful women this country is worth seeing.

The rating is based on independent statistics and the serial number that will be assigned to each participant in the list is not her place in the rating, it is simply a number. And, by the way, when looking through photos of Polish girls, it is quite difficult to choose only 10 candidates, because almost every Polish girl is beautiful in her own way.

1. Barbara Brylska. This woman is familiar to almost every person, because the film in which she stars is shown annually, probably in any CIS country before the New Year. Barbara played her first role at the age of 15, and today she has 30 works in her portfolio. To this day, the actress is a socialite and style icon, whom many Polish women look up to.
2. Olya Tsyupa. She deservedly got into the ranking of the most beautiful women, because she is a fairly successful Polish model. She once represented her country at Eurovision, where she amazed the judges by washing clothes in a rather revealing outfit (yes, right on stage).
