Not sure about Poland. Was there for 1 and half weeks. The girls there are sweet and probably the best part of the country. Otherwise it's a real shitty run-down place. Mostly ugly architecture and you understand why there's not many tourists. Also Polish guys are totally not cool. Very jealous nationalistic type who are likely to cockblock you given the chance.

the opposite to your home country!....crap women but beautiful place

1. What is OP? I guess it's me, what does it mean?


Espresso

Well, I loved the place for the people and the vibe, it's a big-small town as I call them. There is everything you need and it's human-size. I met cool people, especially at the Hostel Mitte. That's where I would recommend to stay for a first time. We visited the lake nearby, great times. Once again, it was a one time thing, however all the people I met there were cool from the hostel people, to the guys who stayed at the hostel to the girls on the dance floor. So, just a good vibe about this place, man. The policewomen were gorgeous and nice. Maybe we were also in a mood to attract these kind of experiences, who knows? There are cool stuff to visit also.

In general, apart from Prague (and a couple assholes), I found the people in Czech Republic to be unspoiled by consumerism and media bullshit (of course they are a bit, just less than in my country, the US, the UK or France for instance). I found the people to be open to foreigners, calm, cool, easy going in general. They never honked the whole 2 weeks we drove there. They enjoy nature: many people on bikes everywhere in nature. Their relationship to their kids is quite healthy from what I observed (like in Hungary). I also liked that there is no generational barriers, in a bar, you can have in a same group: Czech people from 18 to 60 and a foreigner in a small city like Ceske Budejovice. I don't know, man, I think they're just cool, they work a lot (waiters, student working as salespeople, etc.), I have not heard them complain about it and they still enjoy friends, a good meal and hanging out. I think they're just cool people. Even when I got a "boticka" (a block of steel around our wheel), police were cool and smooth.

I don't know, maybe it was my attitude or because I'm a tourist. Anyway, I loved their country and their way of being.

OP = original poster (it's forum speak).

Thanks for the insight. I'm staying at an apartment to maximize logistics, but will probably drop by that hostel to check out the crowd. Looking forward to it!

Met a romanian girl here in krakow and she was way funner and cooler than all the girls i have met in krakow, so far. She even referred to Polish girls as bitches, in general. I find most polish girls remind me of 18 years ago in sweden. Very cold, bland, and not very sweet. It could be an age thing too. 25 to 30 seems like the ideal age for a man here.

I don't know why you are getting that impression, though I have heard Krakow is a particularly bad city for girls. Most men who go to Poland will agree the girls are very sweet, irrespective of their easiness/liberalism. I don't either country is incredible, but if I had to choose, I would choose Polish girls over Romanian.

I am going to Bucharest next week and then I can say for sure. Every girl who wants you seems sweet. It is in the one that dont want you, that you see the true nature of the girls in a country. The time for Polisjh sweetness is gone with the western breeze.

One piece of intel.....Tinder was pretty good in Warsaw. 30 minutes in a cafe in the train station and I got many matches compared to very few, in 2 weeks in Krakow. If I had to pick again, I would choose Warsaw, but even then, I cant see Poland as I place I would recommend, if you are over 30.

I'm not a user of Tinder and know only a bit about it. How does one take advantage of this technology? Can you just be lazy and put one pic of yourself and start spamming girls or do you actually have to put effort into it? Also what's the catch?

If it's anything like online dating websites then I'll pass (low penetration rate and ugly girls).

The quality is better than dating sites and it is possible to get dates fast. That is assuming you get aot of matches and girls liking your photo....which for some reasorn was ok for me in Warsaw, but awful in Krakow.

If anyone can help me get in contact with him [the Greek Kamaki], I would be grateful.

Yeah. I put it to him that he needed to write a book, and I offered to edit it for him; maybe compile his posts into a thematic book, to start with - then fill in the gaps for a complete product.

He has a unique sense of humor and perspective, one uniquely Greek - I once hade a roommate from Athen's, who was fat, short, but a master pickup artist! I learned much from him, and he was teach'n it to me - this, before the PUA era and the internet. These two - despite a generation difference in age - are so similar.

But he never goy back to me about the idea. So there it sits.

When exactly did you visit? Poland is full of turists and foreigners, even the 2nd tier cities.

In terms of the architecture, my guess is you visited Warsaw, which is not representative at all of the whole country due to the abundance of communist style buildings.

In 8 months in Wroclaw I barely got cockblocked by polish dudes, so again, I'd guess you visited Warsaw which according to Roosh is a massive sausagefest.
