colombian men

elmodefoque says on Mar 4, 2007, 06:55:

Lady, you have definitely stumbled into the wrong “Colombian ’ site. My Colombiana friends here only have eyes for gringos. The second they hear British or gringo their ears perk up and cash registers ring out loud. I doubt very much if any of them had ever been with a fellow Colombian, therefore know absolutely nothing about them.
Soon you’ll be bombarded with very negative views of colombian men.

One of the first accusations you’ll hear, “Colombian men are all unfaithful perros� NOT true!!
In all my (over a dozen ) very serious relationships, I never cheated. I was forced, nearly raped, by many girls into drunken one night stand, some even paid me so I would not notify the authorities, but NOT once did I ever go outta my way to cheat on any of my women.
Almost forgot, I'm 100% colombiano, heavy accent and all, but my corroncho/barranquillero accent is flawless.

Hear hear Don Gringo My husband is Colombian (I am British)and I have made millions of excuses for the cultural differences things. Now I know it's just him. We have little in common at the end of the day, he isn't a family man, will never have a joint bank account and prefers going out down the pub to going out with me. We haven't been out together for 6 months now. That's just his personality - could be Chinese, Swiss whatever. He's a selfish bastard and now the sex is not enough to save us, I'm afraid. Wish I had listened to me head and not my loins.....Sorry, turned into a rant but suppose the message is to try to look at things objectively before it all goes too far.

carole_a_o People are people, they learn through mistakes and successes. You have to teach him about your needs, he won't necessarily see them straight away. I have learned this through my experience with women, EVERY person is different, regardless of whether they are Colombian/British/African/Malay. If he loves you, then it won't be a problem, he'll learn.

I've hurt people I love before through ignorance, learned, made better, and improved upon what we have had. With every person you are with it will be the same, just remember that, this Colombian man is no different.

southern151 says on Mar 4, 2007, 09:14:

This is not cultural... As several posters have already mentioned. This is just a jealous person and the controlling part will magnify when you say, "I do." I am certain of that. I know plenty of N American men that act the same way. As for the sex...He's 24! I'm only 27 and if there's a woman in my bed, we'll be having sex! That's called male hormones.

Many guys don't do the whole "romantic" thing. Most guys damn sure don't do it after 2 years(Note: I said MOST...That doesn't mean all!) of being together, especially if they are trying to cut you away from your friends. BTW, that is what he is doing with the whole, "I don't want you out with your friends" deal.

Joint checking account?...I wouldn't do it either. Even once I was married, I probably still wouldn't do it. That is a money issue and should NEVER get in the way of "love". Oh, it's about trust, right? Trust him to never hit you or cheat on you or lie about where he has been. That is trust.

You are not the first person to experience these types of things. I did with my exfiance. You are one of many that will likely be married even though your gut, family and friends say not to. Break that cycle if you are not sure. If nothing else, push the wedding back one more year. That is what I did and am still single nearly 5 years later. I am not complaining! LOL

Dear Carole Sounds like you are looking for a romantic man. The problem is that the only romantic colombian men are gay. When a colombian straight male acts romantic, there's only one reason. Men are dogs.

Desideria (Moderator) says on Mar 4, 2007, 09:59:

LOL I hate to admit it but jaramillo is pretty right on the money with that one.
Colombian men are the least romantic men I've ever met. It's more like "two spoons in the soup and grab that chicken leg". Once you get past that rather un-diplomatic approach to love and relatioship they are pretty decent fellows...at least some of them. I mean really, the best of them are just great: funny, sensitive, masculine, smart, considerate, sweet, good talkers, great dancers and if you really luck out and find one that's also honest, hard-working and faithful you've got yourself a keeper.

Cheers,
Desi

kalder says on Mar 4, 2007, 10:12:

I'm not too sure that many men, from whatever culture, are particularly romantic in the 'moonlight and roses' sense.
As for that, I'm about as romantic as a brick.

And I don't think it matters all that much. What does matter is what you allude to above: 'i will bend over backwards for you and go out of my way to make sure you are happy'. Being there for someone; listening to them; supporting them...that's what I think 'love' should be about. And if you're not getting that, then perhaps you should follow your instinct and make some hard decisions.

The good news is you're only 24 and you've got a whole lifetime ahead of you to find Mr. Right- be he Colombian or gringo.

Romance to me is doing it missionary or cowgirl instead of doggie style. We're hound dogs, honey, and if we see a shapely trasero bent over looking for something in the refrigerator, we want to mount that butt like a bull in the pasture. Arf! Arf!

24 Carole... You are 24. He is 24. Neither of you know how to wipe your own ass yet. He's jealous because he is insecure. He is insecure because he doesnt have the confidence of a true man. He is still a boy. Dont get it twisted... you are not absolved of guilt either... You are still girl. You are more mature than he is, but you are far from a woman. Baby Girl, if you are still hanging with your girls, at bars, clubs and the like,then you are not ready yet. All you did was trade your Barbie Dolls in for live women. They are just toys for you to play with. Eventually, one day you will just not need to play with little girls toys any more...

The sex is great??? So what!!! It should be, you are both 24 years old. A relationship is much more than sex. What are you going to do if it works with this guy? Ten years from now, you will be looking back at all you didn't do. Your life will be filled with resentment and contempt. You are too young. And so is he. Live life... Travel... See the world. Learn different cultures. Learn different men, women, whatever... More importantly, learn yourself. Find out who you are. At 24, you are not ready & shouldn't even be thinking about one boyfriend. Like Kalder said... be he Colombian, Black, Irish, Chinese, Maori, or Klingon... When you are ready, you will know. Until then, move forward!!!

Ladies, ladies please.Women Ladies, ladies please.
Women really need to sit and try to understand men if they want to keep him happy. No real guy wants to see little fokin cards and fokin chocolate.
What they really want is for you to greet them wearing a tiny sexy satin nighty and six inch heels, forcedly pull down their pants and start giving him oral, all with out saying a single word.
Once he’s ready, quickly go to the corner of the bed and get on all fours. Problem solved!!

My husband... ... is 100% Colombian. I'm Colombian but pretty much grew up in the US. Needless to say, we have a lot of things in common and a lot of things where we differ. I cannot tell you how many arguments we've had about the difference in opinions we have regarding one thing or another. Yes, Colombian men are very jealous, many of them (not all) want to be in charge of everything, they like to be the man of the house, they like to tell their wives/gfs what to do, how to do it and when to do it. And they have their own views on what a "decent" woman should do or how she should behave. Now here is the catch, you either let him or put him in his place. All I've done is say "honey, I respect your opinion but here is mine and that's the way it is. Take it or leave it". But then again, I'm a Colombian female who doesn't eat crap from anybody. Eye for an eye I guess you would say. =D

Colombian men... are adorable, funny, super sweet and I've heard they're good in bed but couldn't tell you for sure. All I can say is be yourself, be honest and tell him what you don't like in a calm way. Talk things through. If he's not romantic, well he's not. That's it, no more to it. Every man has his own way of thinking, get to know him. Get to know yourself. If he's not what you want, let him go. The world is not going to end, there's plenty fish in the sea.

Russian men Miss, are you being ironic?

Ladies, I have travelled extensively in Russia, and let me tell you most assuredly that Russian men are neither romantic, nor loyal, nor hardworking, nor particularly cool. The ones you meet in bars and clubs are, more often than not, boozers, brawlers and womanisers.

I admit they're a handsome race. The women give Colombianas a serious run for their money. But the men can be barbarians. (You should watch them dance. All they can seem to manage is the 'Monster Mash').

So, before you all rush off to St. Petersburg, check out the figures for domestic violence in Russia on the WHO website.

But it all begs the question: If he was such a catch, why DID you let him go?

Hahaha....that's funny Azul my friends and family think I made a mistake. This guy not only is a genius but he really does love me. Plus very successful. He owns two institutes and is the top of line guy to look for when it comes to technology. He proposed but I said no. My grandma told me to give him a chance and with time I might fall in love with him. I couldn't do it. Imagine...being touched each night by someone you don't love...Ugh I just couldn't do it.

I have a colombiana friend. She married an american guy who is also an engineer. In fact, this russian guy is her husbands boss. They have nothing in common. She doesn't speak good english and he does not speak spanish. They're married and can't even communicate but they both got what they wanted. She got someone to support her and a green card. He got a nice looking woman who cooks and cleans. So they're both happy.

However, love does matter don't you think?

Azul says on Mar 8, 2007, 21:00:

It absolutely matters ...and I think you made the right choice. You either love someone or you don't. I don't think that a person can learn to love someone else, at least not REAL love. No matter how successful he is, and how much he could have provided to you, in the end what does it matter if you are not happy? I think that you are far better off with someone that you truly love, even if that means being with someone less successful.

As far as your friend goes, I hear that a lot. But that is not the life for me, and from the sounds of it, it's not the life for you either.
