In Serbia, for many people an exotic country where everybody is talking about the great courage of Serbian men and where women make more population, men start to be an uncommon species, safely grouped into four groups, firmly determined not to yield to the demands of their families about marriage.
Well at least they try :)
Group number 1. (She became pregnant)
In this group the representative sample gets
married simply because his girlfriend became accidentally pregnant.
Like any gentleman he will get married or her male members of the family will smooth convinced him to make his decision. That discussion is usually easy and very constructive, male family members will remind him that life is short, sometimes dangerous, you never know what tomorrow will bring to you, so be smart man and get marry.
That kind of wedding is fast and marriage last almost as wedding. After a few months, or in the best way one or two years of cheating on each other, they will get divorced.

Group number 2. (I need foreign wife)
Second type of man is brave and opened one
for new experiences - at the end it is a new age.
He decided not to choose any woman from Serbian, he will be more imaginative, all these women in the world waiting for this exotic, rough Balkan man. He decide to go to the agency and try to find a woman from another country. They must be better right, at least she will not understand him at all so he can talk and talk as he wants and he will get a smile after. It's every man's dream! After a few days, the agency will call him and send him photographs of few women. He will choose one of them and next is to see and marry her next day after first viewing.
They didn't even look at each other decently, so what? There is no time for slow thinking if he doesn't want her somebody else will. The whole life is in front of them, they can watch each other next few decades.

Group number 3 (I want them all)
The representative of the third group is
very specific. He wants Serbian girls, but he still didn't decide which one so he realized that would be safe to go on dates with as many different girls as he
can. Blonde, brunette, red, slim, fat, old, young, he is not picky he just must
realize which he desires. At the end marriage is saint stuff. After a while he
will throw one, then the other, until only one stays and we got a winner ... or not.
Hm, maybe he needs to try with few more? :)

There is another kind of man, an
endangered species with extinction, the greatest problem for his family, the
man who decided to be very careful, not be tricked with baby, not be rushing to
marry someone he never saw before, not to be down-home and sleep with any woman
he saw, the man who will not make mistakes like the other three groups of man, the
man who will fight for his rights until the end.
Group 4 (My mom is seeking my future wife)
Since staying single man, beside driving a small car is the greatest
mistake in one man's life, the family will begin to search
for the woman for him. When I say a family, then I think about a female's members of them, they will be sent on a mission to discover a proper woman for this
misguided man.
In a country, where cinema, theatre,
museum barely exists in a few cities, the main place for gathering people
is a “slava”.
"Slava"
is something that only Serbian people have, simply each family chooses one
saint to be family protector and then they celebrated that saint. The point is
to gather as many people as they can and to celebrate as many days as they can,
even if that means that the next few months they will live in totally poorness.
In these few days of a celebration, woman of the house will be notified to get together single men and women. A single man will be taught if he does not know by far that he must eat and drinks a lot, he will show his future wife that he is a truly rough Balkan man, who will put his hand on the table if he is not satisfied with her behavior. Being polite is not so interesting, if he wants to drink juice and eat vegetables he can stay at home, read books and play with his pet.
In the case that in "slava" nothing happened, one more event is also very popular at Serbian people.This event is so popular that people go even if they don’t know who is the master of ceremonies. It is a funeral, yes you read it well.

At
funerals you can hear lately gossips, mothers and grandparents can complain on
their children and grandchildren and this is a very good place to decide to
connect their single kids.Oh, what a joy, ha?
The plan must be very clever, after the
funeral mom can’t just come home and say," oh, I found you a wife", no, there is a
strategy. She will come at home clearly shaken and when the son comes to ask her is she OK, she will say something like this" my spirit will stop too,
soon, very soon, I only wish to see my grandchildren". After son says, "I
want too mama", while she wipes, non-existent tears she will give him a piece of
paper with the mobile number of his future wife.
He must call her immediately, of course she will probably ask him how he found her phone number, but that is his problem. If he wants to please his mom, he will go out with her and be a real gentleman, but if he still wants to stay alone after few date he can tell his mom that his future wife called him "a wussy".

Some of these endemic species sometimes suddenly decide that is enough of being single man, it is over. Maybe his girlfriend is
not smart, maybe she is not pretty, but who cares, family is family and he
needs one.
There is just one tiny problem, if our future husband doesn't work and still live with his parents, which is starting to be usual in this country, where he will live with his wife?
In parents' house? Ahem, yes.
After a few months it is mom or wife, bye, bye wife, mom wins.
