Whatever reason you've had so far to visit the lands of the Slavs, Slovenia included, it now no longer seems so relevant. In every way using the myth of the Slavic woman to lure you into further mystification and excitement about visiting Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Russia, Belarus, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Ukraine you will see the myth carries a lot of the generally perceived characteristics of Slavic culture. We are in no way going to take away the fun of exploring what is true and what is imagined about them, which is what dating is all about. 

#1 Always wear Adidas

There's perhaps nothing more Slavic than wearing an Adidas tracksuit, as it's the perfect for pretty much any and all occasions - basketball court, clubs, wedding, funeral and of course pandemic quarantines. So if your goal is to date Slavic women, step one is loading up on Adidas gear, although you might want to mix in a few items from Kappa or Umbro just to add a bit of variety.

#2 Roll your own cigarettes

Since it should go without saying that you need to smoke, the only tip here is to be adept at rolling your own cigarettes. While there's no single accepted brand that must be adhered to, one tobacco that is sure to tingle the lungs of Slavic women is the stuff that comes by the kilogram in Bosnian markets.

#3 Grow a moustache, the wispier the better

Slavic history is literally covered with hair, namely, the hair from bounteous beards, bushy moustaches and all manner of eccentric facial hair proudly worn by men from Murmansk to Macedonia. Sadly these days are long gone, and in the 21st century, the Slavic fashion is closer to John Waters than Rasputin. However, if you'd like to read about many of the great and glorious historical Slavic moustaches for some inspiration, we highly recommend starting (and ending) with An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery.

#4 Know all the Lada and Yugo models from at least 200 metres away

Nothing, and we mean nothing, makes Slavic women weak in the knees like a man who knows everything there is to know about cars and loves to share such knowledge. So one guaranteed way to impress a Slavic woman when you're out for a stroll during your courtship is pointing out the make, model and year of all cars you see, but especially those magnificent mechanical steeds that represent the pinnacle of Slavic engineering, design and craftsmanship, the Lada and the Yugo. So if you don't know your Zastava 101 from your Zastava 1100, take the time to study up. While being able to flawlessly identify these glorious machines from 200 metres is ideal, 100 metres is okay in the case of heavy fog and/or the fragrant haze than emanates from chineys of grand factories.

#5 Squat as often as possible

It's good for your knees, good for your quads, good for your calves, good for your digestion, good for your soul and great for your chances of attracting Slavic women.

#6 Lunch is best served on the hood of a car

The average person only uses their car 5% of the time, while the other 95% of the time it just sits there serving no purpose. These numbers are almost reversed in Slavic countries, as Slavic ingenuity has come up with all manner of novel uses for automobiles, and one of the most romantic is as an al fresco dining table.
