I think the issue is not that Balkan men proclaim their incomparable  
virility and prowess per se
- but rather within what context it is understood.  From a modern,  
democratic, scientific and secular pov
it sounds hollow and obnoxious, and often leads to belittling  
comments from the 'civilized' westerners.

Taken within what I believe to be its true context, ie., that of a  
largely traditional society
in which myths establish apodictic truths, that is to say absolute  
truths and archetypes,
it denotes balkan men's desire to exist in primordial time and in the  
presence of the gods.

I am not suggesting that every balkan male showing off is conscious  
of this,
yet his behaviour is largely governed by these myths, which are in no  
way
inferior to the westerner's scientifically devised archetypes.

I consider it a compliment to communism that it did not completely  
pulverize this Balkan trait,
and hopefully it survives the onslaught of western democracy as well.  
It just needs a healthy context.

As opposed to the west  where most women would say,
with allusive irony, that of intimacy they have long forgotten and
that sex they accept as a distraction from other distractions.

The issue again, is the desacralization of all aspects of existence,
under comunism and capitalism.

As opposed to large towns, where many people desacralize and  
commodify everything,

Why shallowly +? Practicalities become practicalities
when they are desacralized.
