PBH / colombia (travelguide, pictures) / post |
I assume few Colombianas will actually ever read this post, but I have a question nevertheless: How important is a man’s age for a serious relationship ? I’m talking about a woman in her early twenties with a man 15-20 years older. I’ve spent a lot of time in La Republica Dominica and Cuba (and Eastern Europe) and had good luck with younger women, but I’ve heard that Colombia is surprisingly age-conscious for a comparatively poor Latin American Country. Of course, any decent-looking older gringo with a little cash can meet a pretty girl in South America who’ll hang with him for a few days. But what are the chances that things could work out in the long run ? This question presupposes that both parties aren’t total losers to begin with…

Crazy4Cali says on Jan 13, 2005, 08:58: Isn't it all about expectations? If she's expecting a gravy train (a.k.a. Sugar Daddy) and you're expecting to be said sugar daddy, then it could last a long time.

thundernco says on Jan 13, 2005, 09:25: Not a big issue. One of things that I had to get through my head was my self imposed age restrictions. I have a friend who is 300 yrs senior to his wife, married 5 yearr and both happy. Myself I'm also a bit older than my wife, and we've been together almost as long. See this often, and no it's not always about the money. If you're cool, and younger women are usually attracted to you anyways, you'll have no issue. -TNC

nanis says on Jan 13, 2005, 09:35: ok i think that personality is most important! i really think that some young colombian guys can be really immature sometimes, i for one always used to go for older men because what appeals to me is not just age and looks but personality and respect and experience of course! although most girls in colombia would go for older men to escape pressures in their house, to help their families out, and because it might help her get what she wants i.e studying, good clothes etc, lets face it in colombia most girls don't go for ugly old guys with no money if they do go for them it might be because these guys are way better in bed than the young unexperienced ones..

Not knowing the age of the wife it's really hard to try to guess his age. I'd suspect that this couple might not be able to have any babies.

Desideria (Moderator) says on Jan 13, 2005, 10:36: cremaster I don't have a low opinion of Colombianas at all! The above post was entirely inspired by the previous post written by a Mrs. Gomez, an authentic Colombiana. In that post she explained the reasons why a younger girl would go for a man much to her senior. Every reason she stated indicates a benefit or a gain for the girl from such relationship.

caslug says on Jan 13, 2005, 11:07: albatross, why don't you.. pm calipro or read his post. He's practicaly ONLY dating women 15-20 yrs younger AND he's get them to pose for him too. He quite controversal on this board, but very entertaining. You should thank him because he's fought the battle for you with some poster's here. I notice that hardly anyone is attacking you for wanting date young-uns. As for marrying-em, odds are against you, but like anything it'll always be a individual situation.

elmodefoque says on Jan 14, 2005, 05:16: For the newbie’s. I’m an old Colombian modefoque, nearing that dreaded big 5-0. I married a super hot Colombian broad 20 years younger. She got her green card going on 2 years and I still can’t get her to dump my wrinkle ass. Right now I’m planning a little “solo� trip to Colombia but she’s hell bend on not letting me go alone and says “no way in hell you’re going to el Carnaval de Barranquilla with out me, a que? a mujeriar! usted es un viejo verde! un tipico corroncho con dolares que baila de putas, no way! las bandidas me comerian vivo, yo voy tambien! Now she wants to include her uninvited young ass in my trip. My master plan is to meet up with some of the guys from PBH and raise hell all over the northern Colombian coast. Middle age gringos gone wild, in Barranquilla y Cartagena. My cachaco friend, another old modefoque, just got back from a 3 month visit in Medellin; he went to furnish his brand new apartment in el poblado. He’s got a girl almost 30 years younger and is now ready to trade her in for newer model. He thinks is a crime for middle-aged guy with dollars to only have one girl, there are just too many. He went to a place in Medellin called “Phase 2� and could not stop talking about it, now I wanna go too. over 5 million colombianos in USA and only 27 barranquilleros, i'm one.

paisa29 says on Jan 14, 2005, 05:36: eso es muy relativo, hay algunas chicas inmaduras y superficiales que están buscando un gringo rico y no les importa la diferencia de edades con tal de que les de gusto en todo lo que ellas quieran, pero tambien hay otras muchachas que no han tenido buenas experiencias con hombres jovenes o de sus mismas edades y buscan hombres mayores porque les brindan seguridad y estabilidad en sus vidas, eso sà hay que tener mucho cuidado, yo sugiero primero ver donde viven, que trabajo hacen y sis es pósible conocer su familia.

bitt3rvanilla says on Jan 14, 2005, 07:43: I reckon it depends Depends on what youre looking for i think. Just like everywhere else there is always somebody up for a bit of fun and if youve got the cash then brilliant. As for a serious relationship, yes I do believe Colombian girls tend to be a little bit more age conscious unless they see you as a one way ticket to the US...Careful there. But then again you find all sorts of people everywhere you go, try and give it a shot, it takes a while before getting serious.

But I met an Italian Tourist who had just come from there and said that he had seen a gunfight in the street where three people ended up on the ground... quiza en el futuro... “Democracy - a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance." - H.L.

elmodefoque says on Jan 14, 2005, 09:07: In Barranquilla, if you have a gripe with someone, business deal gone bad, stole your woman, harmed your kid, raped your donkey etc. the best time and only time to blow his freaking head off is during carnaval, and that’s because most people are wearing disguises, but if you have no beef with anyone the only thing you gotta be careful is with someone smacking you across your head with a white powder filled sox, and don’t get upset cause is all part of carnaval. over 5 million colombianos in USA and only 27 barranquilleros, i'm one.

miamimike says on Jan 14, 2005, 09:13: Do the Math Albatross--50%-60% of marriages between two Northamercans fail in less then 7 years here in the USA. A Marriage beteen two of the same culture, same age, no langauge barrier, like educational levels. 50% fail! Throw in differences such as the Langauge barrier, cultural differences, a Huge Age difference--what are the chances of a marriage suceeding? 1 in 10 maybe. Will you be the Lucky one? "Wait a minute.

Lionheart says on Jan 14, 2005, 16:31: I must make amends - both are right I prefer Chinook for grilling, my favorite way to eat salmon. It has a more hardy taste to it, and much more meat. Second best is Atlantic salmon, but needs a much more delicate preparation to maintain its flavor. The rest is just salmon. Here are some facts I found about the health value of salmon:

Desideria (Moderator) says on Jan 14, 2005, 16:51: Atlantic Salmon being of superior quality and delicate flavor fares well with a tender hand. Gravad lax, yes, but it's not weak, just delicate and subtle, cold or warm-smoked a real delicacy, broiled just to the point, with dill and salt, not too much, not too little. The Scandinavian lax soup is a rare delicacy. The secret with the lax is not overdoing it, since the fine, delicate flavor gets easily overwhelmed by too much seasoning and too much cooking. I think my overall favorite would be the warm-smoked lax on juniper bed. "I have opinions of my own, strong opinions, but I don't always agree with them."-President George W.
