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.
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.
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.
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.
A Slavic person chimed in it actually is a real phenomena based on a toxic culture in high school that encourages young men to drink an excess of alcohol.
It's hard to look good when you get peer pressured to drink alcohol until your liver fails
