News The passport bros are invading Warsaw

Now I understand better why each time me or my friends are out in the city we get approached by many guys, being approached more than 10 times in a single and at least once each time I'm in the center of Warsaw, my female friends get also approached, feeling anxiety now knowing that the guys sometimes film encounters, post them on youtube and also use them for training purposes, selling Warsaw as the eldorado for picking up traditional women and that women crave foreigners. So much deception for these poor guys calling them selves passport bros or daygamers, doing day game each in Warsaw by approaching many women around złote tarasy, marszałkowska, number of approaches matter for them because they believe if they approach 100 women ,1 or 2 will accept to sleep with them or date them. In my previous post the owner of their community reach me out in the comments and wanted an interview which I refused, because what we want is a safe Warsaw and we want to stop this public nuisance. They literally rank Warsaw as the number 1 city in the world to pick up and approach women, they even have a Telegram group where they share the experience of the women they have approached like animal trophy... sorry but this is too much for us and just gives me anxiety and to all Polish girls that have experienced that in Warsaw, please help to make this stop and raise awareness about the day game in Warsaw

really sad and disgusting practice. it actually ruins possible adequate interactions between people.

Agreed. As an American living in Poland for many years (and now a Polish citizen), it’s incredibly difficult for me to date here. I always get the third degree on dating apps: “do you really live here?” “why are you in Poland?” “when do you plan to go back?” etc. Basically everyone assumes you’re a sex tourist if you’re British/American/Aussie/etc and many refuse to believe that I actually live here and that my entire life is in Poland 😒

Wow that sucks. I’d say learn the language, then they’ll believe you.

maybe it's something else, tho? based on my conversations with female friends, it's quite hard to find someone normal on dating apps, i don't see why your country of origin would be viewed as something negative.

No idea. I have a very traditional English sounding name. I did an experiment by replacing my name on Bumble with just my first initial. The result? About 3 times as many matches. But once we start talking and I mention my name, where I’m from, etc. they either ghost or start interrogating me about my plans for staying in Poland. The thing is, I have no difficulty matching and going on dates with other immigrants (usually Ukrainians and Belarusians). So I don’t think it’s entirely a me problem 😅 So the only conclusion I drew was that Polish girls assume guys from English speaking countries are all sex tourists. But now that I think of it, Polish people in general are often surprised that I want to live here („przecież ludzie uciekają stąd” lol). So maybe Polish girls just think I’m a flight risk haha. But as you said, dating is tough overall. Everybody is looking for their needle in the haystack:))

thanks for the answer. yeah, now it does seem like a cultural thing, since you got more matches and sinceyou get along with other ppl well. what can i say, what is yours will have no issues with your origin
