Just keep doin what youre doin, LB! At least you know you are mannerly, even if those that pass by you are lacking. You have the upper hand. Keep your dignity, gal!
Yeah, think its a shame that some guys now feel afraid of showing some manners, as they think it will be looked upon as a sign of weakness. For me, its a sign of great strength!
And the mobile phone thang - drives me crazzzzzzzzzy!!
I wouldnt DREAM of not thanking someone for opening a door for me. I always notice those things, and appreciate them, even if Ive been with someone for a while.
Yeah, agree! I like men to be men, and women to be ladies. There can still be equality in a relationship. If a guy opens a car door for me, it makes me feel cherished. Doesnt make me feel like a pathetic woman, it makes me feel good!
I wondered what the consensus of opionion is these days about old fashioned values - particularly in this dating environment, but also generally?
Personally, I like being treated like a lady, love things like having doors opened for me, etc, but some I know do not, as they may consider it patronising.
In this day and age of feminism, and equality, how do people feel about the male and female roles in dating and relationships?
Just like to say that this thread doesnt relate at all to Polish people in particular. Just the subject of "foreign" people in Ireland as a whole. No particular nationality or personal view in mind!
I was watching the UK news earlier, and they are saying that 200,000 Poles in the UK are leaving to go back to Poland due to the bad economic climate there.
Its pretty much the same situation here, so I just wondered what people's thoughts were on it?
Would a decrease in other nationalities here be good for Ireland economically, or a loss of different cultures to experience?
Its always been the same, I guess. People want to fit in, and by being more the life and soul - perhaps they think its the only way to be accepted. Most people that I personally have met - or observed - being the "life and soul" are quite often the most insecure or shy ones. Its a defensive mechanism, I guess.
Can only talk about my own experiences, mind, its not a generalisation!!
