I'm a nice, sweet, easy going, considerate, and kind guy. Somewhat non-macho in attitude although I look macho.
Will Colombian women treat me like a push over or will they recognize and appreciate my good qualities? Will they be attracted to such qualities or would they rather have a macho type?

dwmte7 says on Oct 27, 2007, 07:50: well, MT...the only diffferences i've seen in women--intrensic--around this planet, and i've worked all over central and north africa, through out the middle east, india, europe and mexico central america and colombia, is their tongue and clothes and social decor. outside of these regional hallmarks. they're women. they[re strong, tend to control their home environment and their men (within their environment) and dominate over their children. if they didn't, children would have mother's in name only. dwmte 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

Rob77 says on Oct 27, 2007, 08:26: mj, don't let the warnings scare you. Like in any country there are all types of women here. Not all women are looking to take advantage and not all want the macho type. I can't tell you how many women have told me they are sick of Colombian macho men.

ColombianoGringo says on Oct 27, 2007, 08:49: You can be nice and considerate, but don't let women anywhere push you around. You don't have to be an asshole, but you have to stand your ground when necessary. Women will test your limits and how you react will determine whether or not they respect you. While some Colombian women may complain about machismo, they don't want some wimpy, overly sensitive pushover either.

Morrongo says on Oct 27, 2007, 09:25: Don't worry there are lots of room for nice guys in Colombia.Your say your a nice guy,but what type of women are you looking for?if you are going to go to gringo bars and haunts,all you are going to meet are Morrongas and there over inflated prices created by foreign sex tourists,these will not care less if you are Macho or signed a pact with Satin as long as you are packing dollars.

Morrongo says on Oct 27, 2007, 13:54: Sorry MT what a load of twoddle. If you want to behave like a Colombian Man,your welcome.Done that in the dark ages,two cell phones on the go..lying through my teeth,,juggling dates,lying to your so called friends because you want to get laid elsewhere.Or keeping your women folk down where you want them.Do as I say,not as I do stuff.Not for me pal.You can have as many female friends you want if you are kind,honest and non macho.Just a case of weeding out the morrongas and keeping the friends you like and genuinely like you.
