Why Russian women are so much more popular than Colombian women?

You HAVE to know how to handle that Latina!  They are a special, exotic, hot, vivacious and intoxicating breed!

You lucky dog!!

Yes Zulu - you make a very pertinent observation. I too have noticed how some members decided to take the Asian option after having bad experiences with Latin (and/or possibly Slavic) women. The idea of "applying for a transfer", to use a football pun, crosses my mind continually.

There are doubtless some guys still keen to handle passionate Latinas and all that they promise. But for the average guy, and perhaps especially those who appreciate a certain level of education and culture in a woman, it seems like dating Asian women brings with it fewer headaches and a higher level of... nirvana?

[Researcher]

      I think also it is a matter of cultural preference or what culture suits you.

Not really. There are only two or three on this forum interested in latinas. The rest of the posters here come over from the Asian Forum. Either their words of wisdom are so copious that thier own forum just can´t accomodate them or interest in that forum is pretty paltry.

CT, they also say that "pain is weakness leaving the body!"

An average guy, just can't handle all of that pain! (A hot Latina)

I'd rather watch from the sidelines; It's more fun that way, and a lot less expensive!

Do you have permission from The Annointed One?

As far as the guys, its the white skin

Very true William!

Some guys who want a decent looking white chick, have to  pay to get one...and you can get a lot there for only 200 quid!

Maybe...but I used to be interested in Latinas.    I lived almost exclusively around Latins for 41 years. I probably know as much or more about Latinas as the average Latino...I even had a Latina nanny when I was young. I have seen them at their best and at their worse! I have had many Latinas die in my arms over the years...literally and heard their last words and confessions. It doesn't get much more personal than that! I have been covered in their blood. I have held their hearts in my hands...deep inside their chest cavities performing internal cardiac massage. On a brighter note, I have delivered quite a few of their babies and even had a couple named after me.  

We have a lot of members on the Asian Board that used to be involved with Latinas (I know that there are a few here that went the opposite way). I had my first puppy love with a Mexicana at age 6. I actually dated my first Latina in 1969 (Venezuelan). I have dated women from many Latin American countries (mostly Cuba, Colombia, Venezuela,and Puerto Rico). I was married for almost 13 years to a Latina...lived with a few others. I didn't slow down until mid 2000 when I broke up with my last, a Dominicana.  I met my Filipina wife shortly afterward and didn't look back!  So I guess you are right...I am not really "interested in Latinas"...except for my Latina friends and some of my former relatives. (I don't think Latins know the word "former!")

There are only BROAD generalities that can correctly apply to CULTURE.  I have come to learn that there are winners from every culture.  Although I am not, generally, attracted to Asian women ... there are certainly many Asian women that I would be "lucky" to catch (much more than I deserve).   Although I am particularly attracted to Russian women ...  they are not at all transparent to me; therefore, I do not KNOW what I am getting.   Bottom line is that a man CAN get lucky in any culture.

We can be more specific on a SOCIETAL basis of observation.  The one thing that strikes me these days is the rather sad state of affairs in the good ole USA.   I have tried to get back into the dating scene lately in the USA.  I can still date rather attractive women by any standard ( 27 years plus ).  But, these are not maintainable relationships.  Plus, it is useless to avoid the real fact that there is a "creepy" factor here when you get into 15 - 20 year age gaps.  Who wants to live with that?

Dave H's comments and experience is wider and more deep than most of our's can ever be - wise words.

Sometimes you write the strangest things.  From what I’ve gathered you have been ‘dating’ women at least 15 years younger than yourself and now you say ‘who would want to live with them?’   

My woman is over 17 years younger and I enjoy living with her, so I, for one, would say I am one of those that enjoys a younger woman. 

Maybe I’m misunderstanding your position, what is this ‘creepy’ factor you are writing about?  I certainly would hope you wouldn't suddenly be caving in to the norms of our American society.  Who REALLY gives a shiit what any other person thinks about our relationships and age gaps?

Fathertime!

[william3rd]

hey rivardco- excuse me, now Zon. You spent over two years on the russian boards pumping guys for information without apparently having any real intention to go. Just what ARE you doing on these boards? Novel research or what? You are clearly not involved in any real search for a woman. So- what's your real story?

[Zon]

Fathertime - Strange things?  I only repeat myself here.  Constant themes for me are = I say guys should not believe in the agency hype, and it takes a hell of a lot more than 5 days to find a novia, much less a wife.  Then, I also like to throw a little cold water by sharing the truthful Americano stereotype - fat; lazy; greedy; bad in bed; and [snip]ty dancers.

My above comments centered on the difference between CULTURAL vs. SOCIETAL generalizations.  Men here, many of whom are lucky to get ANY woman's attention  ( just keeping it real guys ), talk and post like shoppers debating between shopping at SEARS versus JC PENNEYS.  In this metaphor, Colombia; Philippines; are all magic places that hold the final fantasy ... the grass always seems greener on the other side of the mountain.  ( Again, my constant message here is that this project takes a real commitment to the culture and language first.  Then, supply of eligible women are not a problem. )

And, my comments about the "creepy effect" was LIMITED AND FOCUSED to our contemporary American societal fact.  With the exception of New York City, I have certainly found a "creepy" factor when I am with a women 20 years younger than myself.   It does not come from public, or passers by. It comes from friends and social circles.  that is inescapable living in the USA.  We would be foolish to think this is not so.   

William3 - You seem to remember the first part of my story, but you took a serious intermission break.  Since you have bridged my first avatar name with my second, I would suffer a credibility gap if I did not recite the reasoning and let the reader decide if I am merely a researcher as you imply...

3 years ago, I found RWD during a very rocky and passionate love affair with a Russian student living in New York City. I dated two Romanian girls rather seriously afterward, and came damn close to traveling to Russia based solely on correspondence I had on RussianLoveMatch.com (I even remember spending 1700 US in one month on that site!  What a puss I was back then:)

Life took me instead to the Dominican Republic on business.  I met more Russian women in the Dominican Republic than I did in the USA.  ( you may draw your own conclusions )

Then, following business, adventure, and women, I lived in Colombia in 2008, and part of 2009 - Cali specifically.   There I set up a business that required a large house, many models, and good internet connections.  In the course of living in Colombia, it would be difficult to overstate the amount of beautiful women I met; or the number of green gringos traveling on the weekend to find a wife.

Posting here and other places, some gringos recognized my writings and objected to me because of some associations, and my non commercial status (although I never used this board to advance any business venture).  Thus and in agreement with the owner of this site, I adopted an alias I have used from time to time- Zon.  It worked out pretty well for me.

Now, I live alternatively in the USA; the Caribbean, and South America.  I like Colombia muchos.  I have high hopes for Argentina too, but am still working on my Spanish.  I doubt I will ever travel seriously to Russia.  I have no hope of learning the Russian language, therefore I would have to trust on things that are essentially not trustworthy. (God damn shame! I think Russian women are GREAT)  I prefer not to visit for a week, or two only.  Such a limited time does little to create true relationships with men or women.  Plus, I have seen first hand how these short visits often serve as smoke screens that hide real intentions.  I doubt want to rely on luck!

So, 3 years ago, I was a newbie, Rivardco, rather green with stars in my eyes.  Now I am Zon with a much greater amount of experience in the issues discussed here.

AND AM I REALLY LOOKING FOR A WIFE?   Not really.  When two people "find" each other, they most likely were "searching" as an incomplete person hoping for completeness outside themselves. (Fathertime; hope that does not strike you as too strange - actually, it is esoteric)  I would rather fall in love with the culture and location first ... women are never a problem.  Life is a marathon, not a sprint.   Anyway, I still have a couple years before feeling any pressure, and I am much younger than I was 3 years ago.

[william3rd]

I have not read many of your recent posts, since I am not really interested and I have already seen the result of over two years of your participation on the other board with no real intentions fulfilled on your part. Thanks for the clarification of your purpose. . . . .

On a more positive note- Covina beat West Covina in the upset of the week by scoring 3 TDs in four minutes to win in the 4th quarter.

Zon,   Nobody here is talking about ‘shopping at Macy’s’  You have created a strawman, as nobody is talking about ‘shopping for a wife’ here, although if you can provide an example I will stand corrected.

Believing agency hype…Yes, people should temper their expectations with agencies.  The man has to be decent enough, or ALL the ladies will reject/use him. No big news here.

American stereotypes:  Who cares?  What do all your general criticsms have to do with this thread.  Some men are fat, bad dancers, etc etc. That is not news.  Those that fit the categories know who they are.

Regarding the “Creepy factor”  Lets face facts here, YOU are creepy to most women and some men.  I mean you have talked about all the porn businesses you started in 3rd world countries.  If you are experiencing a creep factor, that may very well be the persona you exude given the field of work you seem to be in. You shouldn't complain about being labeled as creepy, many men with daughters will want to keep a distance.   That being said, I do agree that there is a segment of society that frowns upon a man and wife having a large age gap, but that is fine, I feel a little sorry for decent looking men settling for a woman that is unattractive or overly butch.   

Does it REALLY take a commitment to language and culture FIRST in order to find an potential wife?  Not in all cases.  It is very helpful and wise, but not obligatory.  Sometimes the order is reversed for some couples.  My impression is, the older and less attractive a man is, the more important it is to make up for it with other attributes and knowing the language is one of those ways.

Fathertime!

This board, and Cupid Media, and Hi5, and LiveMocha are all soaked with the presumption of "shopping for a wife."  Sadly, the highest internet traffic for this site and other like it is = Mail Order Bride (a term that I, personally, find offensive).  So, there can be no limit to the amount of corrective posts, or language trying to balance and correct false expectations.

While I lived in Cali, I saw two TLC tours; and one New Years Party at a popular agency ... WOW; my constant analogies of shopping for a wife were hard at work there.  Now THAT was creepy:)

It is important that Americanos traveling to South America see themselves as the locals see them.  I am not talking superficially.  And, I met few American men who had a sober understanding of this.

You think I am creepy because of representations that have been made of me, and your vision of what that means.  There is a big difference between Hefner and Flint.  I idolize former; I hold my breath around the later. The truth is most people in the modern adult industry may as well be working in the financial / insurance industries ... much more about processes, and technology, and sales than about content.  But, I respect your position 100%  Several years ago, I would have had similar reaction.  I am much more open minded now ... maybe a good thing?

Quote = "but that is fine, I feel a little sorry for decent looking men settling for a woman that is unattractive or overly butch."  I can't agree more.  I hear TAPS playing as I read the sentence.  THAT is the reason Viagra was invented!

Culture and Language first is smarter.  In the end, we have general agreement.

I agree with you.
They never do, though. The GODS from america hop off the plane, start preening their balding heads, and then suck in their guts to fit into their skin tight body shirts. And then go after the hottest girls. They do follow the age difference rule, though. Half your age minus 7. Pssst- its Half your age PLUS 7. Even though that doesnt work as a standard either.

Watch out for those energy drinks after a dozen or so, your aging heart will stop beating- hehehehehehe
