    Basically you probobaly know what balkan men are, most of them are considered alpha(although like primitives). Due to my physicall looks people expect from me(especially the girls i attract) to act like that, to act like a primitive jerk and tbf i really cant pull that off
    Societally and family wise, those are the role models the Balkan women have seen and so those are their expectations of men.

      Are you currently in Serbia or, are you in an English speaking area? Are you in the US?
      That also matters because the cultural differences in dating and sexual relationships are going to be quite different and our advice may be irrelevant.

          I m in Serbia

          I m not sure how to put this but let me try :P
          On Balkan, mostly in bigger cities(capitals), you can be the most handsome guy, you can have infinite charm BUT unless you have cash you really cant date an attractive woman. I understand this sounds like mainstream but it really isnt. Lets take USA example, you can have sex, you can end in a relationship with a really hot woman even if you dont have cash, even if you re not fit, even if you re small etc, in my country its not like that, sure it has excepctions(spell) but they are really rare.
          Basically if you re rich in my country you can literally have any woman, but if you have normall wages every woman you approach will act so conservative.
          I am preety sure we are shown to the west like criminals, terrorists etc and so you expect that sex is widely covered but really thats not the case, its still taboo here.
          Another example, i m sure there is nothing wrong of having sex with an older woman if you re a young guy, people wont look you weird. Here its different case totally.


          And again sorry for my english, i m still learning :P

              Most Americans know little of the Balkans as the memories of war there have faded. I second Texasred's caution of understanding of American culture through entertainment sources such as movies and "news".

                I am talking from experience by others, for example, guys from here, from Balkan, from east(Russia) they all had shared the same situations. For instance(spell), i find americans normal, but some people from where i am are literally crazy, it just cant be explained. We use a word to describe them, "sirovina", closest word to resemble that is maybe major alpha.

                  To be honest, most of them dont know what Balkan is, people who actually know Balkan they all assume the same thing - terrorists, murders, rapists and so on. Its a normal thing, people from west see people from east like the baddest people on earth, sure they did bad stuff but everyone did :/

                    Well, some of the people closest to me are European, Eastern European, etc. You're people, just like the rest of us. Some criminal, some nice, some mean, some clean living people.

                    There are people (men and women) that go after someone for money everywhere. It is true in any culture I think...any society that has higher earners. I have a friend that looks for men with money, unashamedly.
                    There are many more of us looking for genuine relationships. Status or cash flow isn't priority.

                      Jack, you'll have to judge for yourself what America is like, not judge by what your friends will tell you.
                      But I bet you'll find we're more like you than we are different. Good people are the same everywhere.
                      And so are bad people...
                      And the same, I think, goes for women: there are shallow, materialistic, manipulative women (and men, of course) everywhere. In this country, we encourage them all to move to California. Lol
