        i live in poland and everyone is just soo fugly ugly, even teenagers. there may be 1 attractive guy for 300 ugly ones same for females. we’re very monolithic and thats prob the reason. the pretty ones are usually mixed with something else. its common knowledge mixed people are more attractive. im exception btw obv but polish women are usually just so ugly, stupid and vain and guys are ugly, stupid, uncouth, abusive… you just might have met some exceptionally nice and handsome ones.
