I am not a Serb or American, but I lived in Serbia for a few years and I live now in US for 13 years, so I know the subject. I also visited and lived in other countries. It all of course, depends on a personal cultural level (I am strictly against generalizations), and I've seen all kinds of people in Serbia, but the main thing is- Serbs made me simply fall in love with them and their country forever! There are a lot of absolutely amazing things about them and their culture. More often then not, women are highly respected there, family values are very high, and men know how to be a Man ( and I do not mean here being shovinistic, not at all), it is something that majority of men in US , simply have no idea about. I was treated by men in Serbia simply like a princess. I thank God for having that wonderful experience of knowing that country and it's people. By the way, in US I never felt like a women even, not mentioning princess. Women seem to be more like simply partners here (there is too much equality between sexes, and not enough polarity, it makes sexual as well as any other form of relationship with men simply dull). US man ether brain-washed by sexual harassment polices or they just do not know how to show admiration to a women, or both. And I am not generalizing now, I have seen something what would be an exception from that statement in US only from immigrants who lives here. And by the way, there is no account for the taste of course, but I have not seen such handsome men anywhere in the world (except Sweden perhaps) like in former Yugoslavian republics. Pozdravi to all the Serbs and their friends! TL
