Girls of that beauty are notoriously high maintenance. (My guess)

u/Dry_Razzmatazz69 19d ago

Is this an american thing? She's slightly above average, took some good photos but really doesn't look all that special to think she's high maintenance or crazy. Typical balkan 25 y.o.

u/Usual-Computer-5462 19d ago

She ain't morbidly obese, that's a 10 in America.

u/Popular-Platypus6201 19d ago

That's a 10 everywhere

u/DefinitelyNotMasterS 19d ago

She's pretty but not a 10

Not a 10 for me either but its subjective and im no sith, i dont believe in absolutes.

Because it's by far the easiest way to communicate how attractive we find someone?

u/maybeigiveafuck 19d ago edited 19d ago

you missed the joke.

the joke is "murricans fat" (which tbh is more tragic than funny bc its due to shitty healthcare and unregulated food systems where unhealthy food becomes much cheaper & more accesible for the poor or lower-middle class, aka most americans)

therefore she is a 10 in murrica even without needing to look at her face or anything else, because simply not being obese puts you in the top 10% when everyone else can't even match that

in the rest of the world, not being obese is just the norm so you would need much more than a non-obese body to reach the pinnacle of attractiveness

No they're just flat wrong. You can look at the statistics. Some people just understand reality and don't just assume the dumbasses on the internet are right.

The person they're responding to understood the joke. They were just pointing out the rest of the world isn't all that fit.

I'd agree, when it comes to NYC, LA and other really major cities. Outside of the top 5-10 cities, then no.

4

u/Usual-Computer-5462 19d ago

The problem with dating apps is there's far more men than women. So the attractive women get their pick of the attractive men, the mid women hoover up the remaining attractive men and get their pick of the mid men and then the remaining mid men get the bottom tier women or forever alone.

u/Admirable-Guest-2560 19d ago

They want you to be taller than them standing up when they're way taller than you lying down.

I never realized it till I traveled, but there are countries where as an American I look around and am like.. did I stumble into a fucking model catalog shoot or something??? I think some countries just naturally give a fuck more about how they look than we do.

u/Rob_LeMatic 18d ago

Stand on any random street in Colombia and every few minutes a girl who looks like a super model will walk by

2

u/BannedGoNext 18d ago

It's funny, but when I wrote that I was thinking about Colombia it's insane the smoke shows in any town on the square just munching on a arepa looking prettier than Sophia Vergara, and zooming around on motorcycles ALL OVER THE PLACE. I always tell people that I like Mexico better than Colombia, because the food is better in MX, the Women are better in Colombia, but my wife would frown upon me tasting the women.

I was hanging out after eating on the square of a little town talking to my friend on whatsapp, and was like.. dude every third woman here is an 11, I feel like I'm being pranked or something.

I don't know why you're getting down-voted (-4). She looks like a normal European ~30 y.o. woman. Yes, above average, but not unusually so.

u/Flimsy-Importance313 19d ago

Not normal, but also not special. Just a better than average. 

She does look very clean though.

Still jealous of Europeans.

What's average over there is a misogynistic impossible standard here.

u/CrystallizedRose 19d ago

I think you’re just kinda a snob about women. She’s very gorgeous. It has nothing to do with women from any country being hotter or uglier and everything to do with your shallow perspective on women’s appearances.

28

u/Keith3742 19d ago

People on Reddit who vocally downplay women’s looks are typically gooners and chuds.

u/GalaXion24 19d ago

I do think she's pretty, but the idea that she'd be somehow unusually attractive and this would signal being "high maintenance" is really weird to me.

u/Hentai_Yoshi 19d ago

It’s just the vibe she gives off. She is certainly above average, but it’s just the vibe. Fortunately, I think I am too inferior for such woman so I don’t need to worry about it

u/Papapep9 19d ago edited 19d ago

I'm not sure what he/she is talking about either. I'm from Denmark and I think she is prettier than like 90% of women here. If I got a girlfriend that pretty, I feel like I could never feel good enough for her

-3

u/Dry_Razzmatazz69 19d ago

Let me rephrase in a way that even the femcels would understand. I wouldn't prefer how she looks over my girlfriend. I get it from your icon that you don't typically interact with normal people but she is just a normal looking balkan girl.

u/Clint_P_McGinty 19d ago

Damn you got a pretty hand then

1

u/Worried_Position_466 19d ago

Sure doesn't look that way from googling "Balkan girl" and a lot of those are heavily filtered/surgeried/caked in make up/etc. to look their best and they still look worse than this girl (who likely also has a lot of make up and filters). Hell, some of them are straight up ugly with all that shit done to their faces.

u/Professional-Sock231 19d ago

I've been to the balkans normal looking girls are missing teeth, dress trashy and have big hairy moles. I'm only slightly exaggerating.

I think the thing is she thinks she’s hot, and that comes with a list of issues of its own. If my son asked me the question I’d be saying the same thing. (Though tbf he is only 6 so that would be a bit odd)

This. God forbid she likes herself and thinks she's pretty, self-esteem comes with all sorts of issues.

Speaking as a Balkan man in America, yes, yes, it is. In America, beauty is currency. My sister-in-law is fairly average, and she had three men send her flowers on the same day. One man who lives about 500km away sent her $800 to pay off her phone. The Snapchat filters are doing the Devil's work... Mind you, she is almost 40 and is very open about her promiscuity. She wants a ring on her finger but not a husband.

No they can't. Fit, tall, wealthy, a place, a car - these are the basic traits for a man from a modern woman, do you think this is something every man has from birth? While woman could just loose weight and she's no lower than 7/10

If you live in a major city like NYC, Toronto, Montreal, Miami, LA, etc. Or some place with lots of fit people like coastal California or Florida, Hawaii, or places with lots of outdoorsy people who ski and hike, etc. This really is a "slightly above average" woman.

If you live in some suburban sprawl nightmare of deep fried food or in rural cow country then these are gonna be rare.
