Many Slovaks working in London suffer from emotional insecurity. Most of them choose to find people they can rely on. They create the same - gender alliances with specific rules. These implicit regulations help to maintain groups' integrity. The paper aims to explore two sides of mundane living: 1. spending money and reciprocity; 2. dating among women and men. Those two parts of migrants' lives notably differ for men and women. By the autoress opinion this disparity is caused by the different level of independence of particular individuals resulting from the different social positions of women and men.
