what would u like to see in a colombian website

rash9000 says on Mar 7, 2005, 08:48:

Pictures of the cities, to show the architecture of them.
And Natural Landscapes.
Also it would be good to remark some of the good job people there are doing.

Well what's the purpose of the website? Another chat forum or cultural information? Are you focusing on one particular area being just Colombia or all of South America? That's a huge undertaking. Good luck. Make sure you include lots of pictures.

traditions that sounds good, it'l be nice to talk about the traditions in different parts of Colombia, as we are divided by regions.

Desi customs, very interesting...and culture...Desi, did you know that in the Colombian culture it is very common for women to marry men much older than them?? 20-30 years age differences are very common...in fact, the majority of the parents approve of these marriages and encourage them...
I just thought you'd like to know this little factoid...

BlondeJamesBond says on Mar 7, 2005, 12:04:

Please feel free to read AMENDED - AFTER DINNER - CLEARER HEAD, CLEARER THINKING
OK - As a young traveller I (and from what I have seen here a few others) would like a website that informed me of where people such as myself may find some similarly aged fun loving Colombian people for company of an evening.

I would like it to clearly state that it does NOT,(and please allow me to repeat for emphasis),repeat, NOT cater for 'sex tourists', nor should it arrange dates for singles.
It should merely allow for a forum to maturely discuss an issue like

'WOW, Club Colombia in city XYZ was rocking the other night, trust me my good man (or lady) you will have a whale of a time there'

'Really what was it like'?

'Well, I discovered that the locals were very hospitable towards me inspite of my gringoness, the atmosphere and music was superb aswell'

'sounds great did you get any numbers, meet anyone nice, you know arrange a date for yourself?'

MODERATOR ALERT - SUBJECT - word DATE mentioned in non-food related format!!!


Without this happening! - There should be nothing wrong in discussing a night out - especially if it is as amusing as Kwarme Charles' evening being rolled over by a fat gringo - a very enjoyable thread discussing KC's lamentable pulling tecnique - yet deleted for no obvious reason.

Seriously, just a list of some decent nightclubs and other places where friendly people like to meet. In London you can walk into the wrong pub or club quite easily, and instead of walking out with a new friend you will be carried out with a knife between your ribs! - I assume it is exactly the same in Colombia

No sex tourists
No advertising for prostitution
Not a dating site

Everybody I've seen ask 'what is it like going out with a colombian' is immeadiately directed to - amigos.com, gringos.com or some other dating site - I AM INTERESTED IN THE QUESTION - I AM DISTINCTLY UNINTERESTED IN JOINING A DATING WEBSITE - I sincerely wish nothing but the best of luck to people who use them, but for now I like to put my own work in.

I get the feeling going out with a Colombian is different than going out with their British or U.S. counterparts - but no one is allowed to ask the question.

Apologies to all who read this earlier, no offence intended especially to Kat1 - read KERNOWS post a few down for a decent parody of a pre-amended version of this post

This site is great and everyone involved should keep up the good work - if I only disagree with one small aspect of it then I really shouldn't complain - but I am English you know - aka pommie git, especially on an empty stomach!

Desideria (Moderator) says on Mar 7, 2005, 12:14:

Kwame Charles young people prefer marrying in their age group, even in Colombia. There's a greater tolerance to larger age differences especially is the man is wealthy, has a career or otherwise well-employed, also owns his own business. It was customary in the past for families encouraging their young daughters to look for a man who was a few years older, had already graduated and was economically stable. This has changed, especially in the larger cities, where young people pretty much do what they want to do and marry who they will.
Cheers,
Desi

Desi Not sure how you can make the above comments...how much time have you spent in Cali/Colombia over the last 5 years?? How many young women do you know and correspond with in colombia at this moment??. I would venture to say that I have far more experience in colombia over the last 5 years than you, correspond daily with more colombianas than you, and am more up to date on what young Colombianas are looking for in a man. Also you have no knowledge of the coast, never been there, nor know any women there. Kwame's experience is in BAQ. So please save it Desi, and post on things you have knowledge about.

Kwame, take it from me...I know what I'm talking about when it comes to this topic...Desi is old, and far removed from the cali/colombia scene...no offense Desi, since in my view there is nothing wrong with being old...hell I'm old too, but the young colombian chicks dig me...jajaja

Kwame I am not saying he is wrong but I am Colombian go to colombia often and all my family is in Colombia AND i am from the coast of Colombia I have young nieces and cousins as well as their friends.and their opinions on dating young men and older guys are quite different. As i told you before I was born on the coast and my dad would kill me if i dated a guy 20 years older than me or even 15years older. I think he would sent somebody to "dissapear the guy".It didn't matter if the guy would it be a wealthy man or gringo ... no offence. ButI didn't have the necesity to look for and older guy, I was fine at home no rush to get hitch OR LEAVE HOME. And I think you should take it slow maybe you have the word desperate written all over your face and the girls notice.

gomezman, the lawyer may have a monetary advantage. But..if the fan guy knows how to service the lady and the lawyer doesn't...well...she may still go with the lawyer but he will need his own expertise of the law because she will be with other guys that can service her right. If you don't keep your woman happy, she will find happiness somewhere else. Doesn't matter how much money you have.

calipro says on Mar 8, 2005, 00:16:

Kwame "so was i right when i said earlier its a cultural thing in that post of mine earlier. and that its it more common then young+young."

I have to tell you that I do not believe that couples were the guy is 20 or more years older is the norm in Cali. It has been my experiance that about 50% of women bewteen 19 and 25 are open to the idea of dating a guy 20 or more years older than themselves but only if the guy is in good shape. Just from my personal experiance in Cali I would say that 5% of women in their early twenties are hooked up with guys (gringos or colombianos)15 to 25 years older than themselves. But you just have to appreciate how different it is than living here in the states were 40 something year old guys are pretty much invisable to women in their early twenties.

I understand that Greenday's experiance maybe a little different than mine. He is a few years older than me but probably considered better looking. He has more cash than I do and can certainly be more persuasive in spanish than I am. Most twenty year old guys are not in as good a shape as either him or I but I seriously doubt if even Greenday can date more than say 65% of the hotties in Cali or anywhere else in colombia.

The bottom line is I personally wouldn't feel handicapped in the slightest if I were a 20 year old guy looking for a date in Colombia and either should you.

Kwame Charles says on Mar 8, 2005, 02:38:

I dont feel handicapped. its just annoyed when women are like "23? your young" and your like "yeah" and then you get the impression that they would like to leave but it would not be polite. My friend call on of those dating agencies just 4 kicks and the lady was like "you are 23, you are too young. The agency is for guys 40+". However one colombian lady and and english girl from bristol said i act like i am waiting for someone special and i should just forget it and sleep with as many as possible. but i just want one girl. ok enough with the dating post any more ideas for the website i have already contacted my some guys and i have already started building the website. i will be frequently posting updates on the new website

greenday says on Mar 8, 2005, 03:32:

Hey 65% is a pretty good selection to choose from....

In a PM to Kwame I actually estimated that 15% or more of relationships in colombia involve couples with an age gap difference of 10 years or more...just an estimate...but, no, Calipro, you're right it's not the norm, but just much more accepted and part of the culture than here in the US...

Hey, why did you have to tell everyone I was older than you??? jajajaja...also thanks for the compliment that I am "probably" better looking than you...hey, you haven't seen me in almost a year, I've been hitting the gym hard and have put on 15 lbs. of muscle...hey,can we change that from 65% of the hotties to 70%???

She is without a doubt one of the most unique and beautiful ladies in the Keys. Not all people think alike. Personality and compatibility DO matter. I have stayed in good shape but I am balding and it does not matter. Not to her. I do not not act macho and that is a major factor as to why she likes me.
