Why do women fetishize balkan men?

Posted by classicdillema211@reddit | AskBalkans | View on Reddit | 25 comments

Idk if fetish is the right word, but I get videos of balkan men in my reels feed a lot. They hold a big bouquet of roses and do some lip syncing and the women in comments are having their ovaries exploded😭. What are some traits balkan men are known for that make women like them? Or is this just a fantasy that doesn't exist IRL? I want answers from both men and women of balkans. I also know men fetishize balkan women but the reason for that is the women's beauty and their femininity. Which is why my question is only about the men. I mean, to me this just seems like the 2020 kpop era when girls were crazy for korean guys 🤣😭😭

I don't understand the question or what you are seeing :)) lip syncing on what? Music lyrics? Like holding a bouquet and singing to women? If we don't count the ass#oles, balkan men are still pretty traditional. They bring flowers, kiss hands (some of them), open the door for you, carry your luggage, help with groceries and other household stuff, etc. Old school stuff. Same for women. They do some of the traditional stuff like taking care of the house and kids, cooking, planning family events, etc. 🤷‍♀️ obviously, this is a generalization and each individual and each relationship is different.. as for any other part of the world. Let's just say here is more socially accepted for a men or a woman to do those stuff 🤷‍♀️

Lol, Balkan men for sure expect women to do ALL that, but they definitely do not kiss the hands, bring flowers (unless it is a special occasion) or open the door. They sit and yell for things, bonus points for having a toothpick in the mouth.

I didn't count the ass#oles :)) they are a different category with a special place in hell :))

Yes I meant women in the comments of all such men are like "I want a balkan man"

Where are they supposed to be from? And what are they singing? Can you share an example?

Like I think they are from Ukraine or belarus or SMTH. And they are basically just showing their body and all the girls in comments are like "I wanna marry a balkan guy😫😫😍"

Ukraine is not Balkan. I have seen many videos of Eastern Slavic men carrying flowers, which is a standardish practice for them. Not a Balkan thing though. What even made them think they were Balkan?

Oh they are not? WAIT DID I POST ON THE WRONG SUB😭😭

[-]

Glittery_Marshmallow@reddit

If they are writing about the Balkan men, this is the sub. Now the main question is, are these men really Balkan or the comentators mistaken.

Ah yeah, Balkan men, the lip-syncing, rose bouquet carrying monolith that all women go nuts for.

I think it’s a thing in Australia a little. Or maybe it is just a Greek stereotype but women will walk up to my brothers and say stuff like “I heard Greek men have big dicks” 😭😭😭

I heard size does not matter 😅

Aw man, those Aussie women are cueing up for a disappointment. Never mind, they'll discover that good BBQ with some tzatzíki kind of makes up for it.

The only things I see online about Balkan men are like this: https://preview.redd.it/4lpcgkhxrl4h1.jpeg?width=460&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=23319c4fc0719941f8b501ce48ed2460549b5a7f

This. I know of two tropes/memes about Balkan men, and neither paints us in a particularly bright light. 1. That Balkan dads eat raw veggies and chew with open mouths 2. The above - that typically Balkan couples look like Shrek and Jessica Rabbit are dating

I don’t get videos like that and I honestly never heard of women being specifically into Balkan men, so perhaps those content creators are just attractive?

[-]

classicdillema211@reddit (OP)

Yes I guess so. But everyone in comments is always saying "I want a balkan man😫😫😫"

[-]

Ace-inThe-Hole@reddit

Guess they are seen as “exotic” in other countries or I am not on the internet enough.

[-]

classicdillema211@reddit (OP)

Maybe 🤔
