Why Not Florida?

[DC561]

I'm noticing a lot of guys from FL posting in here. Am I missing something or is S. FL Latina mecca?

Me and my business partner are actually in the process of expanding operations to area called Palm Beach Co (hence the 561 suffix). But once things wrap up, I'm heading back up north to the city (I become DC718 or 646, LOL), while he can manage operations down here, assuming he doesn't get too distracted by all the beautiful women, LOL.

For me, it's too slow down here, too many old people, no public transportation (but I have to admit, my Audi rental is aiight), property and insurance prices up the roof (My boy just bought a condo and he won't admit it, but he regrets it, and i'm paying close to 2 G's for a rental in the middle of nowhere - I can get the similar price in NY!), not to mention all the one-story project dwelling bums and losers on the streets, and shopping areas, not working or in school.

But if S. FL is known for at least one good thing it's LATINAS. You got all kinds of nationalities here, Dominican, Brazilian, Colombian, Venezuelan, Argentinean. A lot of them hardly speak any English.

Now If I was going to actually live in FL, I'm not sure I'd be interested in traveling to South America when South America is already here, especially in Miami-Dade. But my goal is to ultimately get out of the U.S, so my priorities are WAY different.

You S. FL residents really don't know what you're missing.... Or maybe I'm missing something as far as these S. FL Latinas go.........

Perspectives?

 I date girls in Miami. I have no issues at all with U.S. latinas. The advantage is you know they already transitioned to the U.S. and know how the U.S. works instead of the illusion. That said, latinas in the U.S. tend to be clickish. So if you have a few latino friends, you will be able to get in. I can't understand guys who complain about every woman in the U.S. being a btch due to the U.S. culture. Unless you're thinking of keeping her down there, she'll change too.

 The advantage in S.A. in you're social status can look much better over there because your money stretches and being a gringo it's automatically assumed you are rich. Also, many guys are seraching for a 10 even if he's barely a 5 because he begins to think he's Brad Pitt cause girls are desperate for good guys and guys with social status(not insulting anybody, but I've seen this scenario way too often). So better be able to  have social status here too in order to maintain the hottie you want if you are stretching the limit on league.

   I love latinas and I love to travel ,so I always will keep my options open. To ignore all the latinas here and makes me wonder about the guys seld esteem. If he is confident and has reason to be, he should'nt care where she's frm. He should know he jas a chance anyway. It may be harder here to date hot latinas. But it's done everyday by other guys.

I have owned an agency in Bogota since 1990 and almost 25% of my clients are from the S. Florida area and more than 500 of them have married ladies from Colombia.  Most of these marriages have withstood the test of time and the couples are still happy the biggest reasons are the ladies are loyal and easy to please as long as the guy treats them with some degree of respect.  About 30% of these ladies had a child or 2 and these have always been the strongest marriages as they lADIES ARE SO GRATEFUL THAT A MAN WOULD BE WILLING TO ACCEPT THE CHILD OF ANOTHER MAN AND HELP THAT CHILD TO GROW UP IN A HEALTHY FAMILY ENVIROMENT.   In S Florida the Latinas have many options as they are beautiful and there are so many guys chasing them and its hard for an English speaking American guy to meet them as they usually stay within their Latin communities.   The local guys like the Latinas they are able to meet but choose to travel to Bogota where the ladies have few options and an average guy can meet and marry an exceptional woman thats why so many guys from S. Florida travel to Colombia.  Also of course the 3 hour airplane ride and low fares have to come into play.  Many of the guys who first travelled to Bogota with my agency are now living in Colombia and are very happy.

So what from Jim and others are saying its basically this:

1. Hopefully you have confidence/ self esteem.

2. The playing field is a little better because there aren't as many good men in Bogota/Colombia, and the women are more leniet for a guy who will treat them just in a normal fashion.

Right?

I don't know about other dudes in here, but I'd feel pretty messed up being in a place filled primarily with Latinas, then feeling I have to go to another country to actually meet them, then to bring them back to the same place filled with Latinas.

S. Florida is a mess, very overrated and I finally see why, I can't wait to get back to the real world where's there's actually diversity (not just 2 or 3 ethnic groups that perpetually avoid each other) and actual things to do.... People down here seem stuck in their shell. I might hit up the ATL on my way back just to get this weird place entirely outta my system. I'll be wishing my partner all the best luck.

Heard a report this morning that both California and Texas have more Mexicans than 27 of the 32 Mexican states (counting DF.)

On the real, Cowboy Del Amor, as funny as it was, just makes no sense to me either.....

I live in S Florida and like it a lot, although I miss many things from Houston where I lived before.  I don't know in what way it is overrated.  It is beautiful, has mild climate, and a lot of stuff to do.  It's not the same level of life as Houston, or as diverse, unfortunately, but it has a lot to do and enjoy.  I am sad you didn't like it.  I frankly don't care much for Palm Beach area either.  I live in Miami itself, and am very happy.

I have family in the Midwest, Ohio.  That's the place I would NEVER want to live or be in longer than necessary to visit my relatives.  I can't imagine how anyone there would not be dreaming to get out as fast as possible.  But there are many people who live there and love it, so tastes differ. 

The main reason for people from S FL to go to South America is to increase options.  There are people who have long-distance relationships in the US.  There are people in NY who meet people from FL for example, or people in California who meet people from Texas.  That's not because there are no women where they live.  I have dated two colombian women in Miami after I moved here and before I got involved with my colombian gf, and could meet more local girls, but I am happy with the choice I've made, although I did not anticipate expense and time investment.

Also Latinas are not the same, and the ones that grow up in S America usually differ in their values and goals in life from the ones who have grown up here.

I live here in south Florida broward county i am from NJ and i have been living in s.Florida for the past year. My town is 75% Latin i have been unsuccessful in meeting any of them because they stick together.(there is nothing wrong with that) But i can say by far they are the prettiest and nice women i have been around. i really enjoy it here comparired to NJ  i am tired of the cold weather. i have a really nice home with a pool and only 20 min from the beach. My taxes and ins is the same as in NJ. this is why i am looking to Colombia
and i would like to meet a women that wants to live here in s.Florida.

Similar groups stick together usually because it is a part of basic human nature.  My experiences in San Antonio taught me that if you want to meet Latinas, you have to go out of your way a bit.  Believe me, most Latinas have nothing against white guys.  I had no problems dating Latinas in San Antonio because I actually spoke up and took chances.

I agree with JamesDonut...there's typically segregation, but with a bit of effort, you can connect.

For me, it's more of an issue of class. Most hispanic people here in the NW are poor, so it's hard to find much in common with them. Difficult to have a sophisticated conversation with a girl who dropped out of high school and is working at a fast food joint.

[blockbuster]

 Jm, you're right. It may be difficult to talk to someone who is not on par with you when it comes to education,  but not as difficult as some guys going to SA and not even speaking Spanish while she does'nt speak English. And most guys are not looking at the girls career as many of those agency girls are not exactly all college graduates . Many by the time they come here will only be able to get a job at a fast food joint too.

   That being said, I know many latinas in Miami and NY  and SA who are  very educated and beautiful.

Yes, you're right. I can't imagine marrying someone who didn't speak a common language with me...that's absolutely bizarre. Fortunately, many of the guys here seem to have at least some grasp of Spanish. I don't, but would definitely learn the language of the country I was going to visit before going...at least enough to have some basic conversation. I've helped a few people learn English, and it's surprising how much you can communicate with a fairly basic understanding of the language with the help of a dictionary. If the listener is decently intelligent, they can usually figure out what you're trying to say, and you can probably tell quite a bit about their mind and character by how they listen (do they not get it? are they impatient? do they get bored within a few sentences? etc.).

I've often wondered at why the guys here are so obssessed with the looks of the girl...to me, I have cute girls who flirt with me (no 10s except for maybe one Mexican girl, but 7s or 8s, sometimes 9s) a decent amount, but what do I care if they don't have any substance or they're obviously not compatible with me? It seems like finding a girl who's simply good looking and sweet is pretty damn easy here in the states. What seems difficult is finding a girl with a good education and class that is still feminine, has conservative values, and isn't a bitch. The few of those I've encountered have requirements of men that are through the roof. For example, one wanted her boyfriend to wait for sex, living together, anything serious until marriage...but marriage for her was 7 years of dating, 3 of it long distance, because she wanted to finish grad school before marriage. That's a pretty high bar, along with the usual requirements of him being good looking, wealthy, well-educated (he was in med school when he got sick of it and ditched her), well-mannered, etc. EDIT: oh, and she flirted with me, and I think some other guy friends of hers, because she was bored during the year or so they were long distance. He must not have called her every day or something.

Actually, a classmate of mine in California was a Colombiana, dead sexy, very bright, but taken. A bit too much of a party girl for my tastes though. I think it would be much easier to find a higher class Latina in one of the large American cities with fairly high hispanic populations, but then you have to deal with her being from a large American city, hahaha.

You're right. Plenty of intermarriage in San Antonio between Latins and gringos. Nobody thinks twice about it here.
