Too good for his own good?

Let's say there's this American guy living in Medellín - a good looking young guy with flowing blonde hair - that is a really good singer and likes to do karaoke and sing with local bands when he gets the chance. And let's say that when he does this - quite regularly - he attracts a lot of attention - especially from the female species.

Do you think a guy like this is putting himself in danger? Does a guy like this have to tone it down and live a little more on the quiet side (at least while in public) to stay out of trouble in Colombia?

I... ahem... my friend could possibly be in the market for sucking face on TV with hot australian chicks if such an opportunity presents itself.

Okay, bright eyes.... Are we gonna have to get on the catwalk and duke it out Zoolander style? I am at least 10 times prettier.

But you should try this school I go to... here's what they told me:
"At the Derek Zoolander Center For Children Who Can't Read Good And Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too, we teach you that there's more to life than being really, really good looking."

I don't buy it.. but maybe it's worth a shot.

Hmmmm... If you let us both loose in the jungle without a razor or tweezers, I'd definitely win because I bet Mauricio has a unibrow. Still, he's a good looking guy, I can't deny. I'm only 3 times prettier than him. The fake blonde guy (yeah, that's right, I see those roots), 10 times prettier, easy.

Well, as Morphus says, if you have blue eyes, it does make you stand out. Opening your mouth and speaking heavily accented Spanish does the rest of the trick, usually.

If you´re a half-way decent looking guy, there are going to be plenty of issues deciding who likes you for you and who just wants to use you. Of course, there´s probably MORE issues if you are older and not so good looking, lol.

In all seriousness, are you actually saying women are going to be injured fighting over this person? I´m not sure I see the point here.

And that guy whose picture was posted looks like one of the stand-in actors cut from the new Miami Vice movie.

Huh? Arthur is gonna tell Kat what I look like?? Oh, man... my little charade is over. How do you have a pic of me, Arthur? Okay, I'm not as good looking as Mauricio... not even to me... but maybe somebody out there thinks I look better ;-). Thankfully, beauty is very subjective.

Does anybody remember the Miami Vice rap song back in the mid 80's? I haven't heard that in years... probably because it really sucked, but I think I still remember the words.

On another note I have found that a lot of people around Medellin have blueish or greenish eyes... especially out towards Peñol. My ex and all her family have blue and green eyes.

What is it about Colombia that attracts every gringo loser on the planet to go there imagining he is Brad Pitt? I always imagine that I'm George Clooney. I hear the Ethiopian chicks are hot - maybe you guys should go to Addis and check them out. They go nuts for a white boy.

Hmmmm I find that I have the same thoughts, UC, when I see a seemingly nice, beautiful girl with a dopey looking guy with no charm, intelligence or personality. But really who are we to judge? There's a reason that those two are together. If the girl was drawn to him for money or security, then hell - they're really a good match for each other. Mutual users...

All the same when I hear someone talk about going to Colombia to get laid, I get sick in the stomache. But, then again the girls who would get involved with such a guy might have it coming - a shallow, mutual-using kind of relationship, that is.

Mr. Clooney I'll have to go back into sincere mode now, as it just hit me that you guys don't know me like I know you (from frequent reading).... and I seem to be making the wrong impression with my tongue-in-cheek posts (which have brought about an association with the term "gringo loser" - one that I'd like to shed).

UC.....you might want to stop imagining George Clooney is a liberal democrat. Now can you see yourself as one of those lost and misguided soles??

As to the Brad Pitt thing.....I am anything but that. Short, slightly bald(ing) somewhat overweight and.....trust me. I'm not Brad Pitt. But I always tell my friends in Chicago, when I go to Colombia, the women flock to me like I'm,,,,guess who? Answer: Brad of course. So, that only proves one of two things. Either Colombian women as a whole have vision problems, or I am better looking than I have myself for.

Oh, I forgot, there is a third possibility, there eye site is so good, they have xray vision and they saw something in my wallet that said I'm from the US. oh well

caulfield2 says on May 28, 2006, 11:16:

Okay, that´s about the most ill-informed comment I´ve seen on here. Because a girl is skinny (can you put your hand around her ankle?) she has HIV-AIDS?

Well, try going to Asia. Almost every woman there is skinny, and they can´t all have AIDS....Russia, Ukraine, Eastern Europe...same story. Maybe, just maybe, they eat a better diet, don´t have cars and spend more time walking than the sedentary US population.

so silly... "I don't understand why guys go for girls who are so skinny they look like AIDS victims either." was exactly what I said.

I am not accusing them of having AIDS. I'm saying that they LOOK as if they had it. It's called a METAPHOR. I learned the meaning of that word in the fourth grade for Chrissakes!

Kat, at least that guy looks like a real man, with chest and shoulders on him! I would post photos of girls I like but the photos are all XXXXXXX and would probably get me banned from here. Somebody posted the twins from Rio once on here. I've seen them IRL and they are indeed fine :b.......................
