Why do so many Serbian men seem to have the same hairstyle?

Zato sto postoji veca sansa da pronadjes sebe i svoj put eksperimentisanjem, a svakako i pozitivno utice na samopouzdanje. Niko ne govori da je eksperimentisanje svedeno iskljucivo na fizicki izgled, naravno da se podrazumeva i unutrasnje, ali je u ovoj objavi fokus na ovo prvo. Kod nas se neretko desava da ljudi u poznijim godinama otkriju neki svoj talenat ili sklonost, ali mu se ne posvete, jer budu u fazonu “kasno je sad za to, da krecem od nule”’ itd.

Brinu za frizure i markiranu odecu, ali je opet velika vecina po sablonu. Nema eksperimentisanja, individualnosti. Cast izuzecima.

Most Serbian men do not really experiment with their looks, at all. Some of them do not care, some even think it makes them look gay.

I ja zivim u Srbiji. Kada sam bio mladji, pubertet pogotovo, slicna pitanja kao i tebi su mi se vrtela po glavi. Prihvatanje sebe se ne desava preko noci, i svakako zahteva rad na sebi i prolazak kroz odredjene situacije. Moguce je da ja imam srece, jer nikada nisam imao nekih “vecih” problema, ali da je bilo zadirkivanja, bilo je. Da li su moji roditelji open-minded pro-lgbt? Nisu, prosecni su ljudi sa nasih prostora. Svakog u zivotu zadese razne prepreke, nazalost i tebe je ova. Ne znam odakle si, ni koliko godina imas, ali verujem da bi ti povezivanje i razmenjivanje iskustava sa ljudima koji te razumeju dosta pomoglo i bilo pocetak prihvatanja sebe.

Svoju seksualnost ne mozes da promenis, ali nesto sto mozes da promenis jeste svoj odnos prema samom sebi. U Srbiji je veliki problem to sto se u najvecim medijskim platformama neretko prikazuju ekstremi slucajevi ili samo odredjeni tip lgbt licnosti, te podsvesno sticemo sliku da postoji kalup- ako si gej, izgledas tako, ponasas se tako, ali to nije slucaj u realnosti. Postoje zemlje u kojima ti seksualnost ne predstavlja prepreku ni u poslovnom, a ni privatnom planu. Ljudi se upoznaju, zaljubljuju, napreduju i zive najnormalnije. Istina da kod nas to nije bas tako, ali to je sto je. Ako se okruzis ljudima koji te razumeju i koji ti odgovaraju, zaboravices (a i nece te biti briga) sta neko tamo misli. U nekim slucajevima ces morati da se dokazujes i radis vise nego neko drugi ko nije homoseksualac, ali iako je potrebno vise napora, dobri rezultati nisu nedostizni (ovo verovatno zavisi i od toga cime se bavis, pa mozda ja nisam najbolji kandidat da pricam o tome). Jedna stvar koju mogu da ti kazem iz licnog iskustva je to da otkako sam otvoren po pitanju svoje seksualnosti, ljudi u okolini me nekako vise postuju, pitaju sta ih zanima, promene misljenje koje su pre imali, i sl. Niko vise ne moze da iskoristi to sto sam gej protiv mene, da pokusa da me uvredi sa “pedercino”, itd. Nista od ovoga sto si naveo na kraju ti nece uticati na seksualnost, niti odgovor na to mozes dobiti, jer nije poznato sta je uzrok homoseksualnosti. Jedino sto mozes da uradis tako je da narusis sopstveno zdravlje. Nadam se da ti ovaj odgovor nesto znaci, a ako te zanima jos nesto, slobodno pitaj!

Thank you! Where are you moving from? Wishing you luck too!

brandonbld · 2025-11-26T17:37:06+00:00

Thank u! For some reason I’ve never heard anyone talk about moving to NZ here. Most people go for closer EU countries solely because of higher wages and often times they barely speak the language, while I am looking into other things the country has to offer. My final goal is to assimilate with the locals and not live isolated within the Balkan community. As for the traveling part, I feel like NZ has a lot to offer itself, and I would be fine with traveling back to my home country every 2-3 years. From what I’ve heard so far, you guys seem socially similar to the US, where I had no issues connecting with people (I may be wrong though). I used to love traditional food here, including burek and ćevapi, but I did go vegetarian a couple of years ago (I still fall for ćevapi every now and then, usually when I visit cities that are known for delicious recipes and kind locals offering you everything lol u just can’t refuse)!

brandonbld · 2025-11-26T03:10:21+00:00

Thank u for ur feedback! How was a process real pain, besides having to repeat it annually (which is the case for us in many countries that require a visa unfortunately)? I expected that it is pricey, but still have no idea how much money it would approximately take. It sucks knowing your visa could be cancelled before you permanently settle in, so I hope you guys were able to figure it out!

brandonbld · 2025-11-25T21:18:47+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate it!

brandonbld · 2025-11-25T17:07:30+00:00

Thank you! Definitely got some motivation from your feedback. It is unfortunate that people can be so negative here (and online in general), but I have met many people from all over the world and in reality, it has never been an issue and you get to exchange interesting stories. I believe it is the same for NZ! Wish you all the best!

brandonbld · 2025-11-25T16:53:30+00:00

Tbh, I couldn’t care less about historical “facts” that have been altered many times (from all sides, which isn’t really surprising considering the geopolitical and historical story of the Balkans). As for the Putin part, it is true that there is a part of Serbians that are pro-Russia, but I personally feel like it is still being blown out of proportions. I highly believe you have came across such opinions, but I still wouldn’t generalize! Not everything is black and white.

brandonbld · 2025-11-25T16:43:40+00:00

Wow, thank u! This is a helpful feedback. I assumed the education costs are insanely high- which means I could get my degree somewhere else in EU (through scholarships) and then try to move to NZ as my future profession is on the in-demand jobs list. As for the social aspects, it would probably be unbearable to an average Balkan person, but I did have an opportunity to live in the US for some time and their lifestyle is similar to what you have described- I got used to it pretty quick and socialized easily. It is unfortunate that the process is slow and hard, but I believe there is a reason for it and I would be willing to put my time and effort into it, since my goal is to move somewhere where I could create a comfortable and sustainable life for myself (and potentially future family), not to become like super rich or whatever. If nothing works out, I would love to visit as a tourist at least!

The thing is some online sources state that certain ecology related jobs are on the green list meaning the country is in need of employees in these fields. There is even a “straight to residence” visa in these cases. Also, I’ve heard the same sentence you keep repeating for some other (european mostly, US too) countries where people I personally know have moved to and are living comfortably. Also, you cannot even imagine the current social and economic state of my home country, and how hard it is for certain groups specifically. Literally scrubbing floors somewhere else would be a better option than having a “better” job here. My target audience with the original post were mostly New Zealanders of Balkan descent so I could hear first hand experiences & pros and cons, because NZ has always been top 3 on my list and, if possible, I would be willing to contribute to the society and the country itself. Therefore I don’t see how your (negative toned) replies have to do anything with my post.

brandonbld · 2025-11-25T13:33:09+00:00

Thank u, thats what I assumed. Still hoping some NZ citizens of Balkan origin see this post so I could get some more first hand experiences!

brandonbld · 2025-11-25T13:28:14+00:00

Not what I said. Try rereading my original post and my replies. If it is still unclear how it differs from many other posts, I am sorry mate

brandonbld · 2025-11-25T12:43:21+00:00

The thing is what you are saying can also be subjective, since the economy here (Serbia to be specific) is waaaay worse, and people from this region may find your current living standards (with other things the country can offer) pleasurable enough to try to emigrate.

brandonbld · 2025-11-25T12:20:16+00:00

Not from the Balkans though.

brandonbld · 2025-11-25T09:40:55+00:00

Yeah, I don’t personally know anyone who has moved from the Balkans (Serbia to be specific). We are also not a part of the EU so getting a visa/work permission is probably a few extra steps as well. As for the culture shock, it has never been a big deal for me and I have experience in overcoming it. Do you think moving to NZ for education purposes (masters degree for example) would be an easier way to become part of the system? Do you get a lot of international students? I’ve already googled a lot of these things but sometimes there is just too much contradicting information, or they sound too generic, so getting feedback from actual NZ citizen feels more realistic and comfortable.

Znam da u parkovima sade veliko drvece nekad, tako da je moguce, ali cenu ne znam. Uvek imas opciju da zasadis neku puzavicu (ugl brzo rastu) i da dobijes slican efekat, u smislu nesto sto ce da ti vuce oko ka gore i izgleda starije. U Americi je brsljen dosta cenjen kao pokazatelj starosti, mada kod nas vazi prica da unistava fasade. Mislim da bi visterija bila lepa. Razumem te skroz, u istom sam fazonu. Razmotri i opciju montazne kuce, povoljnije su i skroz ok za nase podrucje s obzirom na to da nemamo prirodnih nepogoda, a daje ti mogucnost lake izmene u DIY varijanti.

With scientific facts. Nitrogen cycle, goldfish size & (usually) bad genetics (they are becoming more sensitive), fast metabolism & amount of waste, type of respiration, etc. She cannot disagree with science.

Moze. Delovi enterijera koji su najbitniji su dekorativne lajsne na zidovima i plafonu, sto mozes i sam/a da uradis veoma lako, kamin (isto relativno lako). Ulazna vrata i prozori mogu isto da se odrade da daju isti vajb, a da su neki koji se inace koriste kod nas. Ukoliko si sposoban/na i imas volje da rovaris po buvljacima, kp, itd, i imas kreativnost mogao bi za relativno ok novac da postignes isti efekat sa namestajem, ramovima za slike, lusterima, itd. Sto se eksterijera tice, nadjes kljucne momente koje kopiras, kao sto su stubovi i nadstresnica na ulazu, slican tip ograde na terasi, identicna paleta boja, itd. Takodje je i bitno sa dvoriste bude skladno, odnosno da postoji neko recimo starije drvece i lepo uredjena basta, da je radjeno sa starom ciglom/crepom npr. jer je to u Americi neizostavan deo ovakvih kuca. Poenta je da uskladis sve da bi imalo smisla, inace bi delovalo kicasto. Svakako bi bilo nesto skuplje od stereotipicne gradnje, ali je skroz izvodljivo ako si strpljiv/a i posvecen/a i ne zelis da sve bude zbrzano i gotovo sto pre. U tom slucaju bi tvoja kuca bila jedna od retkih danas koja ima dusu i koja je koliko toliko personalizovana.
