Colombian Men

What can you tell me about them? I have met many American-Colombians in NY, but I imagine they are VERY different. I know racially, there is quite a diversity, but I am inquiring more in terms of cultural attitudes toward Gringas, etc...I see a lot of Gringos taking Colombians wives, but I heard nothing of Gringas finding sus media naranja en Colombia. Are they faithful family men or ...the opposite?? LOL Just curious...

The only marriages that I have had a chance to closely observe are those of my in laws. The men are faithful and devoted to their wives. My two brothers-in-law who are single and still living with their mother are complete hound dogs but then they aren't married. I think men are men wherever they are.

A gringa in Colombia is ten times more valuable than a gringo. I met a taxi driver in Medellin that is married to a gringa in Texas. He said "you like Colombian women" and just sneered. He said he likes American women better. I seen young good looking Colombian guys drooling over gringas twice their age.

hmm Im a second generation Colombian-American. I live in NJ though and you wont find a big community of Colombian American guys where I live either theres like three families in the city I live in that our "Colombian". So youl definately have to look abroad if you want to find Colombian guys easily. My friend that goes to university with me hes from Bogota and prefers Colombian girls over Americans anyday.
Sincerely,

FAQ: where is Dr. Elmo Defoque? I don't know in Montana but in BARRANQUILLA THEY SAY:I was just helping that burrita over the fence!"


ANyhow I was thinking that Dr. Defoque could answer locaitaliana's question with a bit of authority. After all he seems to know one or 2 things about Gringas, Colombianas and... burritas too.

RE: A gringa in Colombia is ten I have gotten the impression (from reading various sources, but not so much on PBH) that foreign men have a very negative view of American women...that we are whiny, high maintenace, lazy, and were never trained properly for domestic duties, among other things!
So hopefully what you tell me is correct.

I think I know a little about this subject. Colombian women in Colombia will unload (like a huge piece of crap) a Colombian guy for a gringo in a heartbeat. That’s the way they are raised. I’ve been going back to Colombia since 1979; I only got laid, for free, once! while in the USA I was the Colombian Wilt Chamberin, I nailed hundreds, many even thousands of gringas, including Latina Americanas and it did not cost me a dime, as a matter of fact I was a kept man, like a male slut, male hooker.
I ‘m a very special case, I have nothing in common with middle class Colombians but at the same time I adore the poor ugly modefoques. While in Colombia I prefer the company of gringos. As for what I think of Colombia women, this is not the best time for me to share my feelings.
As for what I think of gringas, they are simply, marvelous!

I'll get there, when I get there!

I gotta make a small correction, NOT all colombianas will drop a colombiano for a gringo. The ones that do that are mostly middle class/rich colombianas, while most of the very poor love their Colombian guys to death, and I mean that literally. I was watching “la sierra” and was amazed at how much those poor colombianas love their miserable, pennyless, hard core colombian criminals to the end. I just can’t imagine them with some soft guy name Harvey.

Colombianos who prefer Colombian women are mostly hijos de mami y papi. They need a wife to do everything for them; they are completely useless around the house. In Colombia, guys a treated like little princess, they are cater to by mother, sister and maid, so they are spoiled rotten. I grew up a motherless modefoque, had to learn to survive on my own at a very young age and need no one in my life!

Gee wizz, I sound like a bitter old modefoque !!

Costenos I found that most of the good-looking guys on the coast were so into themselves they had no time for anyone else. Don't get me wrong, I got my fair share of attention from Colombian men, but only because I'm blonde and as white as they come, and most of it came from either the boys I was teaching (to try to get better grades) or from 80-year old homeless guys with no front teeth.

It is soooo true that a lot of Colombian guys want a girl to treat them like their Mummy does, but every now and then you find one who thinks outside of the box. Most Colombian guys THINK they want a foreigner, but find them too independent, too strong-willed, and too liberated. They like to feel needed, despite thinking they'll appreciate the freedom we'll give them.

I found that most are nice to look at, interesting to talk to, find you intriguing, but aren't in it for the long haul.

I will soon marry my Colombiano man.... Let me just tell you... his mami and papi RAISED him RIGHT!!!!!! I have never met a man like him, NEVER, and he's 7 years younger than me...... he cooks, he cleans, he treasures me, and you know what, not all gringas are the same because this gringa would do the same for her man!!! For me, if you treat me like a queen, I will treat you like a king, plain and simple. I know alot of gringas and LATINAS out there that are spoiled, can't fend for themselves AND don't know how to do anything, but I consider myself a special breed, American with lots of Latin flavor, living in Miami my whole life, working my a$$ off to get where I am today, rolling with the punches and learning from my experiences AND my mistakes. Dated American guys and lots of macho, jealous Latin men, hands down, I prefer Latinos, not the AMERICANIZED (as I like to call them)jealous types but the good old mamma's boys, and I was lucky enough to find one in Medellin... so, this gringa votes YES for latinos, only not the pyscho, jealous, AMERICANIZED ones!!! Only the ones that have spent their developing years in their home country, learning the value of a good woman and learning just how to respect and treat a lady!!!!!! I can only hope that all women of the world are blessed enough to find someone like I have..... PEACE!!!!!

corazon en colombia says on Jun 12, 2006, 15:29:

I think it depends on the family I think a lot depends on how the parents raise them. I would say the majority are used to very domestic mothers who do a lot for them. If you are thinking about a long-term relationship with a latino, I would definately observe the household norms and talk with him about it.

I do have a question about latino men...my latino husband although he would never raise raise a hand to me, swears that 85% of all latino men are abusive to their wives. He says that is the norm. I have a hard time believing that the percentage is that high. What do you guys think?

I think... there are many out there, but no different from any other male species........ I can tell you that out of the many Latinos I have dated, both casually and long-term, only one ever raised a hand to me... and he wasn't Colombian! LOL It does definitely matter how their parents raise them. I am truly fortunate to have encountered a WONDERFUL man, with an even MORE WONDERFUL family so I done good!!!! And he's a keeper forever!!!!! His father always tells him, the moment you disrespect a woman, no matter how (verbally, emotionally, physically) you are no longer a man... and he really believes that.....and no, I have never met ANYONE like him, he won't even saY A BAD WORD IN FRONJT OF ME...... In one way or another all the other "Americanized" Latino men I have encountered, have disrespected me in one way or another, and you really can see it in there parents too. It's unfortunate!

I just got back from Medellin. I am just little over 5'9'' and I felt like myself and my friend were among the tallest dudes everywhere we went. I am sorry in advance if I offend anyone by saying this, but colombian girls are 100 times hotter than their men. The men are generally out of shape, many are short, and few dress well.

The amount of looks and eye contact I got from the girls in Mangos, universities was beyond any expectation. The only annoying part was colombian dudes staring hard at me so I don't look at their girl. Quit staring at me, and tell your girl to stop looking :)

Hey Curious Joe, I'm colombian and I also got a lot of looks in Medellin from the ladies (I am NOT blonde or blue-eyed), so so much for your 'aryan theory'.

You sound just like some racist, little prick with a superiority complex. And I'm not sorry if I offended anyone (KKK) by saying this!

bitter remarks coming from fat and short men or the same ones that wouldn't stop staring at me so their girl won't look me in the eyes? I see similarities.

If you look foreign and young and dress well (or wealthy colombian looking i guess) getting dates in medellin is like shooting fish in a barrel. if this is news to you then pull a rasist card on me.

This is my 3rd trip to colombia and seeing older shorter fat men with gorgeous dates is no news to me. Simon are you one of the wealthy good looking dudes that can afford a gym membership? Oh you live in US now, so that makes you one also. I am done with this thread.

Physical looks dont count.....i would imagine that after 3 trips to Colombia you would have found that out by now...now dont be a Morphus....one is enough, please!...

Another vote for colombianos! I'm american, and I'm married to the most wonderful colombian man. Keep your options open, and, sure, try dating one ( preferably directly from colombia, not an americanized colombiano, so many of them change, start dressing wierd, trying to act like they have money, when they don't, it's just wierd, alot of them have such a "bad ass" attitude). but, I do agree with many others, pay very close attention to his family if your serious enough, family is a huge deal there, and, it does just depend on how the man is raised, values, morals, how he treats a lady. I don't really think it matters where a man is from, it's how he was brought up, you know? But, I say give it a go.

I love telling the gold-diggers that -I live in the basement of the house I own because I need two rents to make my mortgage. I shower in my tenant's bathroom

-I take my bicycle everywhere because it's cheaper. Sometimes if I'm not feeling too tacaño I will spend $2 and go on the subway.

-I have not spent a dime on clothes or shoes since November!

Kinda ruins their image of gringoes. It also gets them off the tip of my dick real fast! :)

I could perhaps
write a book about Colombian men, my husband being the main character, my brothers-in-law, my father-in-law (r.i.p), hundreds of workmates, neighbors, friends, friends of friends...my son who's also Colombian-European, thousands and thousands of Colombian men I've met in my long life. Some of them I know quite well, some others almost not at all.

I feel extremely discouraged even to get started on this subject because of the prejudice and ignorance reflected in the opinions of some posters above. (Colombian girls are no better looking than Colombian men, neither are they taller, thinner, more intelligent, more talented, have better values(???whatever), higher morals etc. bs you read on these threads. There are only individuals who have better education, better family background, nicer personality, better looks etc. than some others. Like in any country.

Cheers,
Desi

You won't hear me knocking colombianos..... But they are still guys. They'll still lie through their teeth to get in a girls pants.

I never gave much thought about wether or not they were on average better or worst looking than americanos. Who cares?

They can be very charming, humorous and disarming around women. Americanos are "intenso" in comparison because they just don't get it often enough or have to work so damn hard to get it and keep it.

I don't know if colombianos are shorter and more out of shape than americanos in the same age bracket but they sure as hell get laid a lot more. Whose laughing now!
