The beautiful Colombiana....An exaggeration of reality?

I know I may take some heat for this, but I feel I must make my observations known...Who knows, I may become enlightened during the process.......

I have been viewing profiles of Colombianas on various websites including colombiancupid. I must say I have been extremely disappointed in the quality of the women. My guess is about I in 20 is what I would consider attractive. There are of course some beauties, but they are truly the exception to the rule. All the hype had no doubt raised my expectations.

Can I assume the real beauties never post profiles online and the "least attractive" are the ones advertising? Don't get me wrong, I have seen and met some wonderful people online, just not what I had expected from a country boasting of such beauty........

This may be true, but here in the states hotties are always trying extend their access and market share although everything is handed to them.

I know some very hot girls here in LA with too many guys to choose from. Still they advertise like they were single with few options.....

"Now, the MOST important element of this equation us that what makes "beautiful Colombianas", inside Colombia, truly beautiful is their external beauty as well as their inner beauty, femininity, sensuality, down to earth attitude and good heart. That does NOT apply to Colombianas that travel outside Colombia... All it takes a Colombian chick is 2 minutes in JFK to adopt the crappy attitude of American women."

WOW, took the words right out of my mouth! good one!

p.s. Hot Colombiana and she knows it, 9 times out of 10 = very superficial

Don't be too hard on him...he obvious has 2 problems...

He forgot that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

And he thinks he can get one of the 'beauties' just because he is a foreigner.

Don't ire him, pity him.

Just because you have been to Colombia, that does NOT mean that you are anywhere near an expert on the place. Sorry. Truth hurts.

haha g_s, love those small, dark aeriolas.

Honestly I cant get enough of that jet black hair and brown ass. Drives me insane. I used to pretend they had all sorts of deeper qualities they often didnt.

I think I may move down there for a year or two and get it out of my system.

It goes away right?

PaisaLover-add Miami to those on your list! Once they land here in MIA, the Miami Cubanas will soon talk to them and the change (drastic) soon takes place,,,

Yes MM.. I would have assumed that Miami or LA would be included in that automatically by default. lol

I was thinking of moving to North Carolina if I ever get around to bringing the esposa here.. BUT to be honest, she has no interest in coming here at all, scared to death, and it doesn't bother me if she doesn't. Where are you located MM? Im here on MB maybe well meet for a beer one day and watch the re-surging DOLPHINS, yea!!

I have just carried out some SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH to see how Colombia compares with other countries in terms of the beauty of women. Here's what I did. ColombiaCupid has sections for several countries/regions. When you select a country, you can page through pictures of girls, 20 on a page. As you page through, the girls get less attractive. This suggests that the order in which the girls are presented is in the order of popularity, therefore the most attractive work their way towards the first page. So I took each country, and wrote down how many girls per page I thought were attractive/interesting. I did this for 10 pages per country. I then listed the countries in order of results. Here's what I found:
1. China 45%
2. Vietnam 40%
3. Thailand 35%
4. Philippines 30%
5. Korea 25%
6. 7 other countries inc Brazil 20%
14. Latin America and Mexico 15%
16. Afro, Japan and, yes, finally, COLOMBIA 10%

From a scientific point of view there are 2 weaknesses in this study. One is that it is only my subjective point of view. However, any one of you can replicate my work and we can see how much difference this subjectivity makes. Secondly, the results are skewed because there must be different numbers of girls from each country on the site. I therefore propose making an adjustment by weighting the results according to each country's population. Clearly the numbers on Cupid may not exactly reflect the population, but possibly better than nothing.

I was surprised by the results. Not because I was expecting Colombia to be top. Rather I was expecting Russia there. Russia in fact came in at 20%.

I agree that Colombianas win on the level of warmth of personality, but I also believe that my study dispels a myth about their physical beauty. And it doesn't alter the fact that a few Colombianas are fabulous looking (but not on Cupid).

I also write for the archive.

no. attractive women are disproportionately NOT in need of internet dating services. using them to rate a population out of a self segregated group which is determined partially by the variable you are measuring is not relevant. there is so much else wrong with this Ill stop at that. We should have stopped at jet black hair and brown ass, if you ask me.

Tabla...Like your informal "scientific research". Confirms what I've seen online, (but not reality as presented here on PBH).

I think the proportion of women who are beautiful is a pretty even constant across most countries. But I also believe that in some places the women are just more feminine, have a better dress sense, are generally classier etc.- Italy and Hungary, for example.
