latin men in USA

Well, I have seen in this blog that gringos always hit colombian women and they ( colombian) find americans attractive but does it work on the other way? what would happen if a colombian guy would travel to USA? would he be attractive to american women?

no, no dear the don't find Americans attractive, THEY find their wallet attractive :) If he hasn't got any money then he is just another ugly kid on the block

if a Colombian man goes to the USA what you see is what you get.

Depends. If you go to an area where Latinos are a dime a dozen, you may not notice much. If you go some place where you stand out as different, you'll get a lot of attention.

Kat is right. Those Ben Franklins do wonders as a make-over technique. Gringos paste them to their foreheads and then the Colombianas love those fat, pasty, balding pendejos. I've seen some that disgusted me so much I wanted to stick a shiv between their ribs and gut them like the carp they reminded me of.

People are often attracted to something a little bit different, and women fall for foreign accents, but let's face it, Colombian men are not very attractive in general. Short, on the fat side, heads too big for their bodies.

Elmo and Juanes being the exceptions of course.

(Just waiting for the 'colombian defenders' to attack now, jeje)

UC, is it just fat, bald gringos you hate, or do you include fat women and latinos in there too?

don't know about gringolandia but up here in Scandinavia latinos are pretty popular, both girls and guys. The problem is like pod already stated the relatively short stature (I don't know 'bout the size of the head...I think many tall people have a ridiculously small head on the top of all that framework).

No, what Colombian guys may come short of in height they win by their charm.

I ask you, Kat, what gringo with any options (style, looks, money, brains, wit etc) would even be in Colombia? What you see in Colombia when it comes to gringos are the bottom of the barrel or an intrepid few like Rubito and GIB who just like to live on the edge. The rest of them are perdedores who don't even know what perderores means.

podborski says on Nov 11, 2006, 14:41:

Plato Some people like to go to Disneyworld in Orlando or else to Vegas for a vacation, two of the worst places on earth IMHO.

Some people (like me) go to places like Colombia 1)because it's 'new' and different 2) because few other tourists go there, so you get treated extremely well by almost everybody 3)because it's a warmer culture and climate than back home 4) to learn a new language 5) to experience and see things you can't see anywhere else 6) because it's very cheap 7) for the great nightlife (music, dance, restaurants, clubs)

While you are doing these things you make more friends in 4 days than you do in 4 years back home (in Canada). Restaurant and hotel staff treat you like you are a rock star, not a bad feeling.

The icing on the cake is that some of these new friends are remarkably beautiful women who wouldn't give you the time of day back home.

So I can go to Paris, Prague or Rome and see some great sights, museums, restaurants etc, maybe make a few new friends, do the same thing 100 million other people do year after year.

Or I can go back to Colombia and be guaranteed to meet some really interesting people who, 15 minutes after meeting, invite me to their home for dinner or to their finca for a weekend.

Maybe it turns out their family is rich and the apartment you are having dinner in is nicer than anything you have ever seen before, museum quality art on the walls, antique furniture that has a long family history that they take pride in telling you about.

You sit down to dinner and of course the food is exquisite and different than anything you have had before. You are the guest of honour despite the fact they have known you for all of 30 minutes.

Maybe the dad looks like a retired silver haired hollywood star and he speaks perfect english and he engages you in a conversation about everything from how he flies fresh flowers all over the world (and how so many of them get destroyed by customs agents searching for drugs), to philosophy to politics to art.

You think he really is a flower exporter, but you don't know for sure, and you wonder.

All the while his gorgeous daughter shoots you furtive looks and leans really, really close when she whispers something in your ear.

That's just a brief example of what can happen in a quiet night in Bogota. Multiply that by the number of days of your stay...

What I don't understand is why anyone would go anywhere BUT Colombia.

I have been in several restaurants across La Calera in Bogota, I always see ugly and boring gringos with a young Colombian girl. The last time I went, I was with my wife and she says, it is very obvious that the girls hanging out with gringos are just for the money. I was in a party 7 years ago, and there were a group of girls asking one of them why she was not with her gringo, and the answer was, because he is so boring, ridiculous and jealous, he does not know dancing latin music, he does not speak spanish and he just sit down all the night looking at all people. I thought it is not fear to treat the gringo in this way, so I asked her, then why you were having a relation ship with him? she did not answer like trying to say it is not your business, and the girl who was with me says she is just looking for a USA resident visa. I do not think gringos from America are nice looking as English guys, and this is not coming from me, it comes from my wife who says that English guys are really nice looking but Yankees are usually ugly, pale and without test, obviously there are exceptions. When I am wearing something that does not match, she says..you look like American.

The latin type of man is also popular among german women. One problem here would be that he might be taken for an Arab or Turk, and these have a reputation of being womanizers who treat their partners bad.

But once this overcome they would have a lot of chances in Germany.

But I shouldn't talk, I'm a fat, boring, greasy, bald, pasty white, boring, no dancing, bad spanish speaking loser. And let's not talk about the hairy back, please.

Thank god colombianas can see past those minor faults and look deep into my wallet.

colombian men are ugly Foreigners hoe visit Colombia notice that immediately and colombian women compleining also here about. There are plenty of beutifull women every where but men it's hard to find one.
specially when men are over the 30, they look much older.
In the Colombian telenovelas you see men which are playing the main rol mostly aren't colombians. It's quit dificult to find good looking guys in Colombia. But of course there always a couple of exceptions.

not that a big deal here galecito since you were referring to my post (where I brought up the charm factor) it should've been clear that I was talking about "here" as in Scandinavia. Sorry if the US. is not the point of reference for everybody on this planet.

Dolfi, it's like that here in Sweden too. The Latin Americans with some black mix tend to be more successful with women because they don't look Turkish or Arab. While in Colombia the Arab blood is considered desirable here it's frowned upon...but more in guys than girls.

I find it interesting that ... Most of the posts seem to say " One size fits all ". Old Gringos/ Ninas . Having traveled Latin America for many years ( Military ), and now Living here 24/7 for four years ; I see many different storys.
I find Latin Men as a whole (I'm grouping , which I shouldn't )to be lacking ( compared to English speaking men ) in so many ways.Some folks seem to compare Latin mens Bullshit with true Charm. Their total lack of respect for women ( and everything else ) is deplorable.
... The women in Latin America keep the whole society together . They are the strenght and the spirt. Every Country down here is very different and at the same time a mirror of the Country next to it.
...I am ( I guess ) an old Gringo( 58 ) . I own a small customm leather biz. I know my limitations. I tend to date women in there 40's or so. Yes I will admit to urges ( the twenty something ladys) Dosn't hurt to admire beauty from across the room or Calle. lol
... I think you will find that the older women here are very , very atractive , many are very educated , speak two or more languages , and have an appreciation for an older , settled , secure , and yes Charming " Gentelman " !!!
... We all have a habit of Walmart branding ; one size fite all . I am guilty of it also .. Try not to , life will look a little sweater !

Desideria (Moderator) says on Nov 12, 2006, 05:32:

the original post
is based on the premise that the shoe fits (foreign men find Colombian women atractive) and would like to know if he'd have better luck with the ladies in USA than in his own country. That's how I had understood it.

While clinging to stereotypes will definitely produce only wrong answers it's almost impossible NOT to generalize a little. We have no way of knowing if the original poster would be successful with women in Miami or Cincinnati or Hicksville because based on the sole fact of being a Latino we don't have enough information to make an educated guess. (Age, looks, educational level, manners, personality, lifestyle...) and yes, charm. So, the only thing we can do is to generalize, based on our experience and observations on the success of Latin American men in our non-latino societies.

The Latino men posess certain qualities that we women find very desirable and the looks may not always be the deciding factor there,even if many Latino/Colombian men are strikingly good-looking with great skin tone, beautiful hair, bright smile and nice muscles. They posess the same physical qualities as the women there do. That you, as a foregn male don't see it, I can understand, because that pulls the rug right from under your feet. The great majority of Colombian women would prefer to date and marry a Colombian man than a foreigner. It's just most foregn men never get a chance to meet these girls that are not either your traditional party girls (prepagos, grillas whatever) or women that have registered in the marriage agencies or dating sites because they have little chance of finding a Colombian husband either because they have children from a previous relationship (Colombian men are not that crazy about raising up somebody else's kids) or don't posess the qualities that Colombian men are looking for in their potential mates.

Back to the original question:

Would it be an asset to be a Latino in USA? I don't think it makes much difference; it's the individual qualities that decide. In places like Scandinavia it would cause at least a little curiosity among women if you had exotic features, especially in small towns and out in the country where they haven't seen so many of that sort.

Desi

20 to 25 yr old gringos can make the grade and I don't really care about this "presumido" which by the way is one reason colombiana turn thier back on thier colombiano. It's not about competing with some Don Juan it's just u and one chica and how things work out, On a big scale sure gringos can't measure up. but life is on a small scale like one young chica told me sure they are guapo but not for me, I've lived in Thailand, Venz. Japon. and i've visited Mex. Colombia Rep. de Dom.and with Brazil next on my list, so the world is my play ground and ever where i went. men of the host country has had the same attitude this forum has; so it's nothing new for me.They say a colombiana would rather marry a colombaino, i would agree with that but why . maybe cause there more to a relation than some handsome face to simplify things is missing the small picture hey but i'm not a player hater latino get more than share i have alot of latino friends and they don't call me a big loser

Truthfully though, a female friend of mine used to go to the huge gay pride parade in toronto and always complained afterwards that all the good looking men were gay. Not literally true of course...

Anyway, it makes no difference to a gringo in Colombia if the local men all look like Mr Zipper, we all agree the women who go out with us are interested in our cash and a visa, nothing else matters.

I think it play a big role, in where do you meet the girls, in which state was she when you met her, the way she behave, manners, dress code, who's she partying with , all of these play an important part in getting the right person i beleive.

Elmo I think is the contrary Upper class Colombian girl they don't need a gringo, if they want one they can go to the USA and find a good one, and another thing the gringo has to have a career and money cuz they won't settle for less.
many upper class Colombians don't go to la Zona Rosa or dancing in popular places.


Why do you think we have this problem of gringo complaining about the money they are sending to Colombia to support or help their wife families?
rich families in Colombia don't need that don't they?

Desideria (Moderator) says on Nov 13, 2006, 06:25:

rubi, yes you are being a little idealistic. The reason why most women in any country would prefer to marry a guy from the same town, next city, their barrio is because we women tend to be social creatures. We get attached to our parents, siblings, relatives, classmates, neighbors...and marrying a man from somewhere else would in many cases if not in most, mean severing ties with our people. Not totally, of course, there are many ways of keeping contact in these modern times, but nothing is comparable to the physical presence, the sight, the sound, the smell, the touch of a beloved friend or family member. We are also pre-programmed to get along with people who are a bit like us; the same sense of humour, the cultural and moral codes, the same understanding about money just to mention a few basic things. It has nothing to do about being open or close-minded; it's as natural as the rain that falls down from the clouds.

We all know that the opposites attract; that lies in our genes as a shutter and a stimulus to look for a mate outside the own group for widening the genetic pool and to discourage endogamy.

I think, Rubito & podborski are looking for two 8 feet tall black men able to break apart their already un-corked asses. They will find then very soon, those guys are the kind of guys that never give up until they satisfy their sexual desires. The reason why they have not been married is that there was not a law in Colombia allowing gay couples to get married between them. Good luck you two when find him your muscle built black-guy.

Juan p: I'd trade my pasty white skin for yours any day. Colombia is the only place I've ever been where it (being blindingly white) seems to be an advantage. Why not go where you can make the most of what ya got, ya know?

I was wearing shorts here today (it´s freakin hot, 30 degrees and humid) and the workmen at my house had a riot making jokes about my ´gallinas piernas´.

If you can't laugh at yourself and accept your physical appearance for what it is you got a problem.

No idea what you were going on about with the gay thing...all I know is the more gay men the better, less competition you see.

kat: Too bad I didn't meet you when I was in my 20's, I had the california boy look. But nooo, I was too dumb to go to South America and went on freakin ski vacations where it was 100 guys to every girl. Man, I was clueless.

I´m just trying to make up for that lack of judgement now.

I can't dance but I can ski and skate. Somehow it doesn't help me much in colombia. I should be going to eastern europe I suppose, but who the hell wants to learn to speak czech??

I almost married a czech girl. Might as well offend the other 50% of colombians by saying she made colombianas look, well let's say 'highly average' in comparison.

She spoke 6 languages (4 fluently), had a graduate degree, looked like a model, could ski like a pro, liked camping better than nice hotels and her biggest complaint about me was that I spent too much money and was materialistic. Only fault was she was a communist, but I think we could have got over that. We had some great arguments over it.

Make up sex is the best though, isn´t it?

kat Jeez, you're making me envious of your husband. I am a flirt but I am not going to be the ass kisser that elmo is with you.

Many europeans act quite superior due to their bi or tri lingualism, but it's a function of history, geography and culture. Why on earth would a small town canuck or colombian need to learn russian and german?

Things would be different if we were surrounded by people speaking different languages, and really different if we were occupied for decades by these people like the czechs were.

But it is true they are much better educated in terms of literature and music as well. Czechs of all ages appreciate the whole spectrum of music from pop to jazz to classical. Not too many young americans know anything about classical music.

Both of our countries are very young, so of course we don't have our own mozarts and dvoraks (yet) or thousand year old buildings.

That's just reality, you can't fault a country or culture for being young, but lots of people do.

Some "pretty" looking dudes posted on here. All I can say is that real men don't look like that. They don't have time to primp themselves, wear funny looking zippers ( Levis are good for me), and so forth. If women like metrosexuals, then these guys give you a pretty good idea of what it's all about.

I'm sure after it's all said and done, these pretty boys will tell you women, " Did you enjoy ME?" LOL!

latins Out here where i live i see many gringas with latin men on many occasions gringa friends have asked me to introduce them to my latin amigos. On the other side of the coin i also see many gringo men with latin women, i have on several occasions had latin women come on to me at a party or in a festive atmosphere. Then of course there is Colombia where it is very easy for a gringo to meet a colombiana.I would be willing to be a Colombiano would meet many gringa women here in the US and Europe.

In addition, about the gay thing, I think that you posted something in the wrong place that made me think you were pulling my leg on gay issues that do not match my nature, please accept my apologies if you were not intended to that. Many thanks for you comments on my skin colour, which is coming form a race mix between South American Indian blood and Afro-south American blood, "I am very amazonic guy".

Rocinante Women in Colombia are generally very pioneers and adventurers, If there was not a VISA restriction on Colombians, I am 100% sure that not woman who leaves in estrato 1 or 2 would look for a gringo, may be a short romance for a fun!.

I hate when Gringos show off by saying..."All the time she knew I had more money than the average Colombiano, she knew my Spanish was great", I will tell you something about Colombian sociology, WE DO NOT LIKE PEOPLE THAT SHOW OFF, the only people in Colombia who shows off are the "traquetos" who used to be poor and then they got money and want to show off as much as possible, educated people tray to avoid them. Trust me mate, be humble with your knowledge and money and you will get 1000s of girlfriends and mates to enjoy out in Colombia.

I believe this is so machista from you to think that the girls are struggling just because they are single mothers. Women do not need men, women are very clever who ever is their nationality. Struggling because they do not have a dick besides of them? come on mate, wake up, that used to be so many years ago, not any more!, single mothers are every where, parents can easily help them while they work. Any way, how many girls represent a handful? Is it less than a bunch of girls? or more than a bunch? May be a bag of girls?

SI! Inter-racial is IN. Whome (Yeah, you!) said :::i see many gringas with latin men on many occasions gringa friends have asked me to introduce them to my latin amigos. On the other side of the coin i also see many gringo men with latin women:::

Funny thing is, when I began dating a Puerto Riquenan almost four years ago, I really wasn't looking at it as being 'inter-racial'. I really couldn't have cared what it was referred to as. Now, please, I don't want to get the argument going again about 'we are not hispanics; we are not Latinos'.

It really wasn't entering my mind at the time. But, without thought, I was just thinking... Hispanic? Latin? Hell, this is just a mild modification off the caucasion variety of humans. And, a VERY NICE MODIFCIATION, INDEED!

Imagine there's no countries...It's easy, if you try.

RogueOne says on Jun 9, 2009, 19:01:

Since this was brought up, and I'm bored, I'll bite. I read the first reply by Kat and others insisting that it's the money that attracts Colombian women. People here buy into such stereotypes and it's difficult reasoning otherwise. But my experience has been the opposite. I was never more poor than when I dated the fine ladies here, and they haven't sought money. While on balance they appreciate status and comforts as much as the next woman. These women would be happier staying close to family, keeping their good jobs, and my coming here to work something prosperous. Now I have the better job so my fiancé will come here (USA), and maybe return to Colombia if things work out with our plans. It's great chemistry that attracts us all, (imo).

Desideria (Moderator) says on Jun 11, 2009, 07:05:

Colombian girls are smarter than that, Rogue. You may PRETEND to be broke but they watch TV and know that everybody in USA has a beautiful apartment or house (or at least a double-wide), a new car in the garage, a picket fence around the house and if they lose their jobs the next day they get a new one that pays the double with half of the work, So, what I'm saying is that they don't really buy that you're poor, they KNOW that you're just pretending.
