Rarely would I say a BG boy is HOT! (they usually look Scandinavian then  ) |
No offence. I quite agree. The cuteness of the Balkan peninsula lies in the XX chromosome.

Exactly. You get fed up with seeing nothing but slavics every day of your lives. I was in 7th heaven walking through Boston's China Town. Not to mention how at awe I was of the black people. The probably thought I was a racist or something, from staring at them so fondly.

Well... up to an extent maybe. They're easy-going, careless about certain things... but all these things corelate to the mediteranian cultures as well. Dunno. They definitely have some balkan feel in them, but it's clear they're culturaly a lot different then for instance Bulgarians or Serbs.

Well... it's disputable. Everyone in Slovenia wants to desperately deny any kind of conection to the balkan heritage, while we lived as a part of Yugoslavia for 50 years. It left a mark definitely. And there's still a huge Yugo-nostalgia here. 60% of slovene popular music comes from south of the border. It also shows in cuisine, love of football etc... But for sure - our mentality is a tad different from an average Balkan folk. Infact when I was in Serbia, the Serbs said that Austrians and Germans are out "rođaki"... which would mean "family". Which is quite peculiar, since we're much more related to Serbs ethnicaly when we are to Austains or Germans. But it does show you something about our mentality.

Well I think it's mostly down to the fact that your "cousins" Macedonians "stole" a very important historical name of a nation from them. The only "Macedonians" for them are the descendans of Alexander the great. Hellenes. And not some slavic tribe. I think that's what's bothering them.
