      Its about war and not valuing human life. Slavic countries historically lose huge amounts of men on the battlefield over and over… so the ratio of available men to women are thrown way off. the surviving men take their pick of the litter for mates.

        As a point of clarification, historically russians force huge amounts of Slavic men into war because russians don’t value human life

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

    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.
