Having lived in Poland for 15 years now its quite evident that a lot of marriages between Poles and expats seem to nearly always be between a Polish woman and a foreign man, not the other way around. Why is that?
Why is it that it’s not so common to see a Polish man married to a foreign girl. Sure it happens but nobody can argue that it’s not even close when it comes to the numbers.
We outlined some tongue-in-cheek reasons below and goes without saying that you should take them with a pinch of salt. They are all fun stereotypes but what are the real reasons intermarriage seems to work mostly in one direction. Any comments are appreciated…
Reasons why English-speaking men get hitched to Polish women:
1. Most cities in Poland are not yet multicultural so if they want to stay in Poland for good there’s no choice but to pick a Polish girl.
2. Polish girls are famous for being extremely beautiful.
3. Polish girls like to improve their language skills.
4. Polish women are open-minded
Reasons why Polish women fall in love with English-speaking men:
1. The excitement of being with somebody from another culture.
2. Prestige and esteem among friends and colleagues.
3. Expats who come to Poland are usually highly-qualified and thought of as financially well off.
4. The thought of raising bilingual children can be attractive to some women.
Reasons why foreign women do not fancy having a Polish boyfriend or husband:
1. They find male Poles narrow-minded?
2. Polish guys are not as romantic as a foreigner.
3. Male Poles are overly jealous.
4. Maybe Polish men have a stereotype around the world of not being educated to a high level and rather have physical labor jobs when they move outside Poland?
Reasons why Polish chaps do not even try to pick up English-speaking women:
1. There’s a cultural and a language barrier
2. They are afraid of being rebuffed
3. Polish girls are easier to impress as they are familiar with what they like and do not like.
Like I said, these are all tongue in cheek reasons but some of them could have some truth in them. What do you think?

Hahaha made me laughing ?
Especially section describing Polish man. Fortunately, intelligent Polish women quickly realized that the fact the guy is a foreigner doesn’t make him special straight away. There are cool people and assholes all around. There are Polish bald retards, English ‘gentlemen’ behaving like pigs on streets of Krakow, Italians in Wroclaw cafes with their famous ‘ciao bella’ and nothing else, Spanish guys who don’t know when no means no.
Numbers are pretty similar between Polish men and women marring foreigners. Usually boys from richer countries marry girls from poorer ones.
Polish men simply marry Ukrainians, Belorusians and Russians.
Either consciously or subconsciously every woman is attracted to man who will make her feel safe and stable. In the past by protecting her from dangers of wilderness, currently by waving dollars.
