For our new female academics

How about some research done on the foreign Latina vs those living in the US?  Miami is a land of gorgeous Latinas from all over Latin America with little or no interest in meeting gringos.  I have some theories on why this is so but maybe this could be an area of academic study and enlightenment. Also, where in Miami might there be a concentration of latinas not yet affected/Americanized?

Ive meet two latinas from Cali in the last year.  Both in Miami area both wanted a Gringo (if you will) and were not interested in competing it appeared,  just a sincere man.  One a Christian the other Catholic, both very attractive in attitude and appearance.  Niether worked out -  I still talk to one every few weeks.

I live in Hollywood Fl which is just outside of Miami. I see the growing trend of attitude and gold digging and constantly remind some of those women not to forget where they come from. It is a shame that they change so quickly when they get here. But deep down inside I think they are suffering from self asteem and competing agianst other latins or friends or even family members.

I also do still manage to see new comers on a regular basis. So yes I think there are still potential relationships yet to be had. I see that they tend to latch on to latin people more than American when they arrive here. But is it possible that maybe they have fear of being sent back or maybe they are illegal and are afriad of being turned in to INS. Who knows but I think the option is more than there. If you can find one that like I said hasn't forgotten where they came from.

I think it would also be interesting to look at Latinas from Miami versus Latinas in California.  We already know that there are noticeable cultural differences between the two coasts, so maybe that affects minority groups too?

I absolutely have seen the difference and feel they are much more friendlier on the West Coast. I spent a lot of time in Santa Monica. Met lots of beautiful Latin Women there.

the "differences" would be a result of the different countries of origin of the immigrants to Miami versus California not because of the influence of east versus west American culture.

Fair enough.  But they don't live in a vacuum either.  You can look at how each of these different cultures interacts with the local American culture.

It is true that I am engaged to a Canadian""

Well so says your bio..  Can you tell us about her?

Maybe you should give her more time instead of posting here where you are talking to yourself.

Besides should you not be helping kill babys at the local abortion clinic? Or buring your bra?

LOL....

The big difference  are those that are in the US vs otherwise.  The Latina population in Miami is from all over South/Central America including Peru, Colombia, VZ, Cuba, etc. etc.  Hispanic immigration in California I presume is mostly from Mexico. The bigger question is why such a disparity in their attitudes towards gringos between the haves (those here) and have nots

Maybe we could look at foreign women's vision of America first?  Maybe there is an idealized view of the gringo and of his culture?  Maybe there is disappointment with Latin men, and hope that gringos are different?  

The ones in the US, on the other hand, have first-hand experience of the real America, so there is no room for idealized views.  Maybe they feel more connected to Latino men because the entire group is minority?  Maybe they feel they have more in common with someone of their ethnicity, as they try to preserve their culture within the mainstream culture?

If American men aren't careful they will find themselves on the backfire. First hand experience in Taiwan and Hong Kong. I see that the women there have a very bad taste in their mouths about American men. Because our military men have gotten so many women pregnant and left them holding their very own child while they flee back to the States with no harm done in their eyes.

I was really shocked to see that the women there really had no ineterst in us. And later found out why. Will this happen in Latin America? Yes, I feel it most definitely will. It's that or the women will get smarter and only take advantage of the oppertunity.

That's why I feel these agencies need to practice an honest business and make sure both parties are in for the real reason AMOR! Is this impossible well nothing is perfect but you can come close!

Some of these women havn't even slept with but one or two men. Are in their 30's and never been married or had children. You go and take that away from them and leave a bad taste in thier mouth eventually it will come back and bite you in the Ass!

I sat on the phone last night for 2 hours while and ex-girlfriend from Caracas Venezuela now living in Miami was asking me why it is so hard to have a relationship here. The same thing came to mind. Because the guy just wants to have fun! I said it once and I'll say it again. If guys are spending that kind of money just to go over there and get laid then they obviously can't get laid here. That's not what this industry was created for.

I wish them well. Becuase the truth of the matter is you can't find women that are so dedicated and loving and caring as theses women are. You go and destroy that then what do you have? Where will you go?

Yes, I am constantly reminded by these women that the latin men there are very bad. But I have also stayed in contact with women who say they will never join another agency or date and American Man again. If the experience is not good how long will it take before it becomes a lost case? I already see the growing trend of guys getting taken. What will it take to find a good honest woman or will they even exsist anymore or will the agencies really care?

My point is simple practice good business! Don't ruin a great thing! Give these women a good model of the American Man. Give them an oppertunity they always dreamed of having!
