Ever had a girl tell you they never met a black guy like you before? It's because someone else put an image in their head of what we are. If you ask them if they ever dated a black man before, and they say no, then it's a wrap. She will be yours for as long as you want her because her mind has been blown and her previous perceptions are now destroyed.
THIS! You 100% hit it on the nail. I keep telling brothers to not fall into this hype of what girls dating type are. Every single non black girl I have been with has said you are not the typical black guy, when asked how many they have been with. ALL SAID NONE! Don't fall into this belief that women don't want you simply because of skin tone.
NOW POLAND: WILL BE DETAILED
Tl;DR at bottom
I spent a little time in Krakow last summer with another black friend of mine. We heard the online rumors of it being racist, but figured between the two of us we could handle ourselves. When we first arrived in Krakow, we were getting looks left and right. Not hostile looks, more like "oh black guys are here." My friend and I dress really well and in every country we visited in europe that summer received compliments on our style. Polish people were friendly off the bat. A guy offered us a ride to our hotel in his cab for a discounted rate. (At first we were a little skeptical, but others from the plane ride had hopped in so we said fuck it) Guy turned out to be nice and his car clean.
We arrived at hotel and everyone there was nice yet again, I believed we stayed at the Chopin probably a 10-15 minute walk to downtown square area and 10 min walk to the mall. After some rest and balls washing, we headed out. People were looking at us, but then again not in a hostile way. We walked into a burger joint and the ladies kept looking at us, laughing at our jokes etc. One polish girl, even had black girl style micro braids and a little hip hop swag to her. We gave each other compliments, but couldn't pull the number do to sheer volume of customers and co workers moving about.
Now weird: As my friend and I were leaving, some turkish/indian looking dude across the street from us walking with some polish girl gave us a really bad look. My friend and I don't promote ignorance, but stand our own ground so we just stood there and looked at him. His girl was pulling him away as he kept looking at us. I did my usual smile because I knew if he crossed the street his day wouldn't have ended well. He walked off after a few seconds. Still to this day we don't know what was up, he OBVIOUSLY wasn't Polish, not even a variant of white for that matter. IDK when in doubt think somebody that looks like you probably fucked his girl.
Malls/night life: We first hit the mall and first thing I notice was not a lot of black people at all(To be expected). The general vibe I got was that they might be potentially interested, but Polish girls don't stare as long as say, chicas in Mexico or girls in Estonia. The ones in the mall would give a quick look and go back to doing whatever. Saw one black guy, looked to be from US or London, with a pretty hot chick and her younger sister. I recommend that mall (forgot the name) but it's near Chopin hotel. Even if the girls look disinterested beforehand approach anyway, they'll be nice.
Night life: We hit downtown square looking for birds and boy was there an array of birds. First and foremost, stay clear of those girls in the Pink umbrellas. Yes they are hot, but just want to get you into whatever strip club/ titty bar. If that's your thing then go for it, wasn't our taste. Almost pulled one as we were talking and she instantly assumed I was from U.S., told her I majored in Biology in college her as well (lying?) and just before I went to close, a group of 4 white polish dudes came up saying "niggas."
In that moment, my friend and I instantaneously reverted back to pre grad school, pre college, highschool hood, fight mode. As we proceeded to lash out at anybody coming within a foot of us, one of the guys spoke english and said "whoa hey guys sorry, my friends listen to a lot of Migos and lil wayne so they think that is cool to say"
. My friend and I couldn't do anything, but laugh. This dude was born in poland but spent his high school years in New jersey. He proceeded to tell us about how rap culture has infiltrated into Poland, how many of them are beginning to have an obsession with the culture from Rap, to Jordans, to using the lingo. The girl of course scurried off, but the guys took us to a club and paid our entry. They asked us tons of questions about black american culture and when I told one what I was in grad school for ask me to examine his ear
The girls in the club I have to say looked a little afraid to dance with my one friend, but these girls seemed younger and more embarrassed/shy about themselves than with us. We departed because guy to girl ratio was too much (5:1). We went to another night club and I made a few approaches in there, some girls were receptive, others not so much but I was trying to pull something for that night so didn't have time to waste. My friend is not so much of a gaming/approach type of guy so that lagged me down more than i expected. All in all was a great trip even with the food poisoning and no bang.
Will you get girls coming up to you asking for pictures or staring at you like i did in Iceland or Mexico no. Will you get shot down, yes. But if your game is tight and you can approach, you'll do well in Krakow. Besides going for girls check out some of the tourist destinations. Auschwitz was an eye opening experience and there is a lot of history in that part of the world.
P.S. Saw 3 black guys the whole time I was there. Two with decent girls, the third clearly as gay as gay can be if that means anything.
Tl;DR: Krakow was amazing city, no hate from any of the polish dudes, only one bad look from a turkish indian looking mofo. Girls can be receptive, but shy and some give off disinterested look, doesn't mean they are.. Malls and downtown center good areas to approach. Night game: stay away from girls pink umbrellas and approach approach approach!
