Serbs are Beautiful People. Myth unveiled!

Serbs are Beautiful People. Myth unveiled!

By Alpha Juliet

For some reason, in preparation for my upcoming trip to Belgrade, I came across several sources in which comments were made about the unusually beautiful people in Belgrade.
The young women would be tall, gorgeous, and of model quality, they could grace the best runways in Milan or Paris, I heard.
Really? I was determined to find out if this was true, and if so, why?
I know many Serbian born people here in the US, and though some of them are beautiful, it has never jumped out at me that they were particularly more good-looking than the rest of us.
So after 1 month in Belgrade and countless hours of people watching, I have come to this conclusion:

Belgraders ARE more attractive than many Americans, however they aren't inherently more beautiful. Genetically, I don't think they are more attractive, or really that different from us actually.
And when you think of it, all Americans are immigrants at some point in their family tree, and we come from all over the world though mostly from Europe. So most of us with European descent, should look similar to Slavic people, at least to some degree.
I mean, what does an American look like anyway? What does a Serb look like? This is an unanswerable question...

So here is my consensus:
Belgraders are generally more attractive than your typical American, not because their people hit the genetic jackpot, or because they have some hidden pool of youth that all the women bathe in, no, it's for 2 reasons specifically:

1) They weigh about 15 lbs less than the average American.
2) They are better dressed, more stylish, more put together than the average American

And when you have an entire society walking around where the average person is thinner and better dressed, they appear more attractive as a people.
And they are. Mystery Solved!

However it is true that Serba (and Montenegrins too) are among the most good looking people in the world. Same goes for most of slavic nations, and for south americans.

One thing that is not very well pointed out in your article. While it is correct that most of the Americans do come from immigrants, mostly from Europe, it is also true that they do come from northern European countries (just think of the original immigration to US and where it came from). So from that aspect, compare Slavic people and northern European people, there is a obvious difference in terms of looks. So it is genetics if you think about it. Add on top of that a fact that people in the US have on average 15lbs more then people in same countries in Europe and the way they present themselves, things to start to add up.

I agree with what you have written esp. with the weight and style of dress. I have become totally embarrassed about how many Americans dress today as they have not only replaced the word \"comfortable\" for \"sloppy\" but also do not dress appropriately for the occasion. Nothing like seeing parents in cut-offs or shorts and flip-flops at graduation ceremonies, weddings and funerals. Grrrr BUT with that said, I have noticed though in BG, that the men often DO under-dress compared to their companions; and am stymied, too, why on award shows (at least when I was there in 2007), the women would be in sexy killer formal outfits, but the men in jeans when they really should be in tux\'s or at least suits.

My husband will agree with you on this one! After he met me and started meeting more Serbian people, he would continuously say how much better looking they are than \"other Americans\" and this is Serbs who live in Calif. like us. He is extremely excited about seeing a whole nation of attractive people, especially the ladies!

Well... I\'m from Belgrade, and I lived in several places, including Canada. I don\'t know much about men, because I\'m not interested in them, but as for women, I can tell you this: Serbian women are not especially beautiful. Not when compared to other Slavic women. They usually have big noses and bad skin. However, they typically have incredible bodies - such bodies in such quantity you won\'t find anywhere else (except in this stretch from Serbia to Poland), I think... And when you compare an average Serbian girl with an average Canadian or Russian girl of the same proportions you can tell a difference...

No, Serbs are not exceptionally beautiful. ... I've heard this \"Serbs are beautiful\" stuff from my wife (who\'s of Serbian heritage). I live in Sweden and have travelled to and lived in many parts of the world, inncluding Serbia. Sure, comparing to sloppy and flabby places like the US, Canada or he UK Serbs are better loking but there\'s no big fifference to other Slavic countries. ... One big difference between Serbia (and other Eastern European countries) and Western Europe/N America is that there\'s not much ethnic choice. In Serbia there are only Serbian beauties while here in Sweden you can find all kinds of beauties - just take your pick (even Serbian beauties)!

It depends on which American city you compare Belgrade to. Sure, the women in Belgrade are more stylish than those in Wichita or Toledo. But compare them to the women of New York or West LA and, I'll be honest, Belgrade women do not come close to New Yorkers or Angelinos in terms of style or beauty. Just my two cents worth.

@ Dan : Belgraders can not be compared to ones that live in NY or LA, simplt because in Serbia (and Europe) we love natural looking women, not silicon pumped dolls.

LOL. Jovana, you have got to be joking. Serbia is full of silicone pumped plastic bimbos. ("Silicone Valley" anyone?) Just look at all the popular folk stars and singers. I always found Serbian women in general to be a lot more fake looking than most Americans (although there are always exceptions) - tons of caked-on makeup at all times, even early in the morning, too much fake looking tan, over-bleached hair, etc etc) Sounds familiar? You really need to get out more girl... ;-)
