As a Slavic person. This isn't that exaggerated. Usually stems from high alcohol consumption.

"Why did you marry someone so old?" "He's 27"

I find it really weird that the best possible outcome for this seems to be just letting her take her zombie husband home. Like... Just accept he's dead and move on, lady.

You need to continue de quest in act 3

No, she made her choice. Also I fucked a bear, and later an Illythid so she has to fuck the zombie it's only fair.

I was advised once as a young man to travel there. It's the place where the ratio of beauty between men and women is the furthest off kilter, and that an attractive American with a good job could find a woman with supermodel beauty.

Sounded creepy, never did it. If I go there it won't be for that reason. Just wanted to add that someone in a mentor position to me advised it for that reason. Maybe there's something to it

That's absolutely disgusting. Reminds me of these subreddits where men come together to discuss countries based on how traditional the women are + how desperate (so easier to get a wife) + how beneficial it would be to have a passport in that country. They talked about the women as if they were dog breeds.

Oh Jesus that last sentence put into words an ambiguous uneasy feeling I've had about those folks. I hate it, thank you.

[-] curiousaur@reddthat.com -1 points 10 months ago

It's not as disgusting as your comparison. It's not fetishizing a certain people, but rather just pointing out that you can be much more successful in dating where the local men tend to be ugly.

With European context this feels a bit racist. Just replace 'Slav' with any other discriminated against group of immigrants (Muslims, Chinese people).

[-] Sheeple@lemmy.world 42 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

With more European context you'll realise this is about the alcohol health crisis that is spread a lot among men of that area.

If you want a similar example, replace the man with an obese man and "slav" with "American". A common comedy trope.

Unfortunately people love brushing it off as a "funny stereotype" instead of realising "Wait dude these guys are victims of a health crisis"

The first thing that jumped into my head was that meme about American couples where the couple is always Nice, Decently Attractive Woman Plus The Most Racist Man Alive. It's the same dynamic.

If the Slavic women aren't drinking, thus making them all on average prettier than the men because drink makes you ugly, then I fear for what they are actually doing instead. Probably cocaine.

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 23 points 10 months ago

I've seen the reverse in slav couples as well... both are not a pretty sight.

[-] Sheeple@lemmy.world 28 points 10 months ago

Alcoholism unfortunately has it's consequences

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Yep, we do drink a lot.
