Latin women are no better or worse than American women.

Colgando, (and no, I won' address you as "dude"  since I don't know you so well),


I will respond to your assumptions, and then I'll drop it .If you wish to opine regarding the post, by all means have at it.


1. In regards to my statement about "agency girls are portrayed so differently, but , I understand that some need this to get their feet wet". What exactly is wrong with that statement? Most men who I have had the pleasure of corresponding with on here, have used an agency for this very reason. They were not familiar with the culture, system, or customs, hence, they used an agency. This is why I said "i understand that". I guess you will explain why that statement has no merit.
2. You used the agency as an avenue to meet women that you otherwise would have not met. Pursuant to that,you are now learning about Barranquilla. Perhaps we are saying the same thing?
3. You state that "I seem to see online dating or whatever method I used to meet my women as somehow superior". I guess I missed that post because you are the only one assuming that. You can fill me in on that.
4. Exactly who was "arguing" or insinuating that a particular avenue is better or worse? Perhaps you're assuming again?
5. Of course I am grateful for the avenue(s) I used to meet wonderful women. If they in fact turn out to be the love of my life, that would be even better.


What we were laughing about is the posts in general , not the fact that men used an agency.


All in all, you assumed way too much, never once asked for an explanation, yet drew an unequivocal conclusion.


In closing, I am still  glad to hear that you fond someone that you can trust and love.


Have a good day

Cool man, that explains it. Thanks for the clarification. I assumed wrong apparently, no worries. 


You can call me dude now, no???  Jejejejej


Congrats on a cool trip! I can't wait for my next one!

First of all I wanted to say hello to everyone seeing I am new to the site. I normally  would set back and listen to what the site has to offer and not participate in conversations until I know enough about the culture of the forms . Now, with that being said and after reading the comments on here  I had to step up and give my two cents.


Well, let start with me saying I am a Latino male ( Puerto Rican ) than have dated many AW of all different races including Latinas here in the states. I can say with out a moment of hesitation  there is a big difference between latinas from the US and latinas from their home country.  Even if a latina in the states grows up in a traditional latin family they sometimes lose the family values most Latin families use to have. Case in point my mother is always getting on my sisters back about how they treat their husbands and and how dirty they keep their house. They always come back with "mom you are too old fashion". However, I am willing to bet in the next ten years at least one of them will be divorced. My younger sister's husband is a really cool guy and takes care of his household like a real man should however, she just walks all over this poor guy. My mother and father have tried to talk with her but as of now she is not listening.

Anyway, as far as I am concerned AW women are not my cup of tea. Their views on live are not consistent with my own. The corporate -I don't need-a-man women that are here in the states will not even get one look from me. Believe me I have dated quite a few to know it is best to move right on by.

Are there good women in the US that have strong family values yes however, in a country that has one of the highest divorce rates of  all industrial nations it is going to be hard finding them. In the US divorce outside of domestic violence or infidelity are still relatively high. The single mother rate is through the roof...why some my ask why? It is because single mothers in the US have been taught by other single mothers that a man is only good for one thing. In South America having a child out of wedlock is not going to get a " you go girl" pat on the back from friends and family. If anything they would urge her to work out their differences and keep the family whole.

Well that is my two cent or maybe more like five cents.

Hi Rio and welcome. You're right and that's why most of us are here. The female culture in the US is not the same as it was in our parents and grandparents time, when families pulled together and stuck together for the good of the family. Modern women (and men to a certain extent) nowadays are all about me, me, me, me. I think women have changed a lot more than men over the past few decades though. In any event, it's refreshing to know there are still places in the world where you can find women that are still women and not wannabe men.

My sample size of Colombiana's isn't high enough to make sweeping generalizations yet, but I can comment on AWs. I'm 31, above-average in looks (but not a model or perfect by any means), never had my heart broken or been taken in a divorce. I haven't been married or even engaged. As a relatively successful young guy, I've dated a LOT of professional women back home: lawyers, doctors, accountants, ad/marketing execs, etc. I'm in a big city and i like intelligent women. Most of them were attractive to very attractive. As a group they're neurotic, self-involved, and too demanding. I don't like feeling like I'm second to their career and I don't want a marriage with a woman like that.


I'm at Jaime's right now. There's an american doctor here at the same time. I was describing my first date with a lawyer back home and his comment was "how many times did she say I?" I laughed because when I think about it in those terms, it's been so true of so many of my dates.


I've met a LOT of women and I'm most focused on two women right now. One is a doctor and the other is in her last term studying public accounting while working two good jobs at the university and that has been on her own doing things for herself since she was 15. At this point I don't know how i will decide between them, but hopefully it'll become more clear over time. I don't think I could make a bad choice with either.


It's definitely a much more target-rich environment. Are latinas perfect? No, but they're a hell of a lot closer to perfection than AWs! (And they look better too)

The trick is spending time. There aren't many dating shortcuts. What dating is all about (well, at least for those wanting to settle down and get married) is seeing the other person in enough situations that you see the good, bad and ugly enough to decide if the person is someone who'll compliment your team rather than detract from it. Having a torrid love affair for a couple weeks while you're on an exotic vacation does not constitute vetting a lifelong partner.

^^ that should be obvious.

Ahhh--never forget that all too often --"Love is blind" (even to the obvious)

theres a stigma the circles dating agencys, just like on the online dating services, like eharmony or matchmakers. its all BS becuase what really matters is the two people invloved, not how/where you met.

[sticky2]

Ok, its really clear now....  We've got Opusone, who has claimed to have never had girl problems and has never had his heart broken, who is such a stud that he is dating 2 women in colombia at the same time and as a matter of fact, even though he clearly posted that he is dating 2 women, he is sitting with one of them reading through these same posts, laughing at all of us.


Well, more power to you Opusone.  You probably will never actually know what we are talking about because since you are already dating in Colombia, I have no doubt that you will never pick an American Woman anyway.


So go on laughing at our posts with your colombiana girlfriends, you are unwittingly on the right track.


Good for you.

As far as I'm concerned this is the truth, the one liner that pretty much trumps all the other BS!


Fathertime!

I got the same vibe from his post.
