Belgrade, Serbia vs. Cluj & Timisoara, Romania
This comparison is not fair off the bat in many way since Belgrade is a tier 1 city with tier 1 attitudes. It would of course have been nice to visit Bucharest and Novi Sad to get a well rounded comparison of tier 1 vs. tier 1 and tier 2 vs. tier 2. C'est la vie. I did not have the energy to even do a day trip to Novi Sad, this entire trip was a personal exercise in perseverance for me. I went to Belgrade because my friend I am with has interests here so this was sort of his half of the trip, mine was picking the Romanian tier 2 cities.
Women
Belgrade
If you want to have an All-American athlete child have babies with a well-built Serbian girl. Serbians have a wide range of looks from more mediterranean (even some case Colombian) to very fair skin. The builds also range a bit and there are some tall skinny gazelles although as I saw that is not the norm.
The norm is like taking well-built Midwestern girls from Iowa & Nebraska, throwing on Slavic/Mediterranean faces, and having maybe 10-20% be slightly to moderately obese, 80% being a healthy weight.
By well-built I mean shapely strong legs, hips, wider asses, bigger tits, and hour glass figures. They don't have cankles or soda can bodies like guys report from Denmark and other such places.
The tits were quite noticeable coming from Romania where a C+ or D rack was very hard to ever see. If you are a tits man Serbia seems pretty great. The asses seem a bit wide with less shelf pushing out. I wouldn't call their asses plump, I would call them full.
The women and people in general seem much more Russian in mindset than European. They are often short and to point without running off into details and imagery. Maybe if I was fluent in their language I could hear them fully express themselves, in English only though many other foreigners have been able to express themselves in a much more colorful manner.
From Serbian girls I talked to I never got a sweetness feeling off the bat ever. After talking to them a bit and cracking the ice it would peak out though only on low doses only to revert back to the serious straight forward mentality. It seemed from all my dealings with Belgrade people 20-35 years old, many wanted to leave the country or were at least thinking about it, and many thought no other city in Serbia was worth living in or really even visiting except for Novi Sad. I think this mentality is a strange one I haven't experienced in any other country I have visited, it definitely doesn't set the tone for a joyful, colorful, day to day attitude.
People drink a lot in Belgrade and go out late. Many girls had no problem meeting me at 10pm which they often suggested on a weeknight. It is like a small NYC with much more feminine girls, although the girls still have somewhat of a big city attitude. My friend plans to go to Novi Sad for a day and report back to me the differences which isn't enough time, it is something though.
Serbian girls definitely have a sort of shield up until they trust you. I think after 10 days or so I started to put the pieces together of dealing with Serbian girls. My final conclusion is even though I am starting to understand the game of how to deal with them, I don't enjoy playing the game they offer when there are many others in the world that suit me better. I find their cut off remarks, and sometimes pushy opinions about matters large and small to be very masculine. The culture is very masculine and so are others in the world. In this culture though it really feels like the masculine attitude trickles down to the women's attitudes as well whereas in other cultures women become more feminine in contrast.
I did not get the best sample as towards the end of my trip I was having less energy, more pain, and I am sure my fatigue from dealing with Serb mentality started wearing down my game. I went on 7 meets with 5 different girls. One from street game, rest from CouchSurfing meets (there are lots of hot girls in Belgrade willing to meet on CS). This is of course a terrible sample for my purposes. I did the best triage with the energy I had to spare.
If I had the energy I'd probably have been in Novi Sad half the days or more and at least in Belgrade I would have found a laid back upper middle class neighborhood and day gamed my ass off, go to social night events like dances, and to church. Had no energy for that.
That said I think I got to know the Serbian girl outlook well enough and I think I could imagine what dates would go like with the better girls it has to offer, at least enough to compare to Romanian girls and other nationalities I have dealt with.
One thing I noticed in Belgrade was a lack of boyfriend worship and a huge smart phone culture (not as bad as U.S., getting bad though). In Romania I saw girls constantly touching and looking admiringly at their boyfriends, and rarely ever have their cell phones out in public when with friends. Also men tended to date pretty even in Belgrade, not up. In fact I saw several tall, jacked, square jawed bouncer types that dated shorter obese girls.
My value on the streets, or in venues was not nearly has high to women as Romania. I am taller than the vast majority of Serbs, have a larger build, in better shape. Many girls said I could pass as Serbian. I did feel being from America scored me brownie points with all the girls, nothing amazing though. I get much more attention in the U.S. by far.
There were many very attractive 25-35 year olds in Belgrade. I also saw some guys dating a bit younger 5-10 years sometimes which was pleasing compared to Romania. My friend in Belgrade hit on a woman in her early thirties who told him to hit on younger girls (he looks early 30s).
Women's fashion here is at America levels or sometimes worse when comparing to NYC or SoCal. Lots of jeans and converse shoes. Seems only the really hot ones have good style the rest mail it in. Their bodies are very nice though so that helps.
English levels are much better here and girls & people in general seem to smoke much less than Romania.
Cluj & Timisoara
I have already gone over my experiences there in previous posts so this will be short. To contrast Belgrade women, Romanian girls just seem sweeter, more feminine, soft spoken, caring. I talked to a few waitresses in Romania where they had big doe eyes and were just oozing femininity. I felt like once I started a nice conversation with a Romanian girl I didn't want to leave. Intangibles. Their accent is also very sexy, the Serbian one I don't find attractive and feel it is even more masculine than the German accent (which is awful). Romanian girls also didn't seem like they wanted to leave Romania badly and did not have some sort of chip on their shoulders. Their energy was just brighter & more pleasing to me. Romanian girls always seemed to smile at and touch their boyfriends like they didn't want to be anywhere else. Watching Serbian girls interact with their boyfriends the posture often didn't look much different than when I was out with a Serbian girl. It was like a conversation tennis match with some disinterested looks thrown in from the girl and I would see girlfriends on their phones while with their boyfriend, although not nearly as bad as America.
Looks
Belgrade girls have a much wider evenly distributed bell curve in looks. In Belgrade you will see more mid 7's & low 8's and also many more butterface high 5's low 6's and a small, yet noticeable smattering of slight to moderately obese girls. The mid 6 to mid 7 range of younger girls seemed more rare whereas in Romania this was all over the place whilst fat girls, butterfaces, and super hot girls were harder to find. Bucharest I am going to assume probably has a bell curve closer to Belgrade and my friend will tell me what's up with Novi Sad.
Belgrade girls & guessing Serb girls in general have much less homogenous look. You get most solidly built chicks that a healthy thin weight with either more Slavic, Mediterraenan, or mixed looks from raven black hair olive skin, to pale red heads. Throw in some gazelles and some shorter bustier chicks.
Romanian girls are much more homogenous. Although there are a few redheads and blondes, the norm is a dark brunette 5'2'-5'6", ballerina body, with a plump (bubble shelf) medium ass and B cup tits. A tight bellcurve with many mid 6's to mid 7's.
Competition
Belgrade men are indeed taller, more well-built, and have more masculine posture, ways of talking and so on. Their faces though are not as handsome as Romanian men in general and their fashion is very average and sometimes bad, especially compared to Romanian men. Like I said before I am taller, more well-built, in better shape, & much better fashion than most Serb men and I did get looks from some hot girls. In fact the hotter girls were the ones more likely to give me looks. Though nowhere even close to the open looks I got in Cluj.
Romanian guys have better fashion, are more handsome & well groomed. They come off mostly as betaish well dressed guys.
Neither I saw approach much at all. Romanians maybe a touch more due to the more social nature of the venues. They stay in their social circles. They don't strike me as smooth talkers and aggressive operators. Though I will say in a packed Serbian bar with large built guys everywhere if you are a smaller stature dude you will probably feel visual competition. And in Romania if you are a guy that doesn't dress well or isn't handsome you will feel some visual competition.
Both are a mirage though if you approach with game because you will be one of the extreme few.
Nightlife
It was not summer yet in Belgrade, however basing the whole nightlife off one season I don't think is a really great way to look at a city long term. In nightlife Belgrade had many older 25+ women out. Also many more sausagefests. Things were pretty dead on Thursdays and closed early.
Cluj had younger girls out & better ratios. Also more events & venues that made it easier to strike up conversation with strangers throughout the week. I was never in Timisoara on a weekend, not sure, it's nightlife seemed more laid back and very small scale.
Daygame
Plenty of public transit, people walking the streets in both. Targets everywhere, both places A+ for opportunities. I think Belgrade girls seemed much more open to talking to a stranger in English on the streets (except Knez Mikhalia), whereas in Romania I feel like I would need to speak some Romanian to really see equal benefits.
Conclusion
Even though I am sure if I had months in Belgrade I could have a rotation of 7+ girls I think I connect with Romanian girls much more and I think a Romanian girl would open her heart more easily it seems. My personality just does not gel with the way Serbian girls like things to go. I can't say if they are good LTR material because I don't think even spending multiple times with a couple girls how they really felt about anything. Even with good English I felt like I connected to Colombianas better with their terrible English and my terrible Spanish. Or Viet girls. Just using Google translate and eye contact.
Serbia is definitely off the list for me and with that maybe UA and Russia if they are at all similar...
Now either as a more dry, straight forward, serious guy... or a player that likes a wide range of looks with girls that have solid bodies and big tits.... Serbia may be absolute heaven.
My gut tells me to keep Romania on the back burner and keep going. I'd really like to spend 3 or 4 months in Romania, check out Iasi, Brasov, Bucharest... then pick one city learn some Romanian and see what happens. They really hit my buttons looks and personality wise, and like I said in Cluj I felt like a Super Sayen Romanian being taller and bigger than everyone with what I was told were good Italian looks that Romanian girls liked.
Overall I think Vietnamese and Mexican women overall are more family oriented, loyal, and nurturing than anywhere else I have gone.
But damn, those sultry Romanian ballerinas man... I wanted to make mass babies.
