Good for you bubba! No way I would have even come close to guessing her age, congrats. -TNC

I noticed something in the photos of your wife that is a  rarely mentioned feature in women--maybe one that's  extremely underappreciated.  

She has a very pleasant, trustworthy face.  I'd wager that she has a mature, mild-mannered and agreeable personality to match.

Totally!

When I read Doomy's posts I know he will either rip on you or agree with you, but all in all he will say what he thinks and
I totally agree with him on this one.

I always take this into consideration and this is the first time I have seen it else where.

Nice post! That was good to see!

She looks like a happy woman. I assume you are worthy of such and content yourself.

i've seen many women in their 30's and 40's that are very hot and sexy so don't worry about missing out on anything by not going for the younger ones. going for a mature woman involves getting to know her more than a younger one, she will have more exerience with life, probably be more independent and have had time to know what she wants in a man. as is always mentioned here, there are many possibilites, you can meet a desperate older woman who is afraid of being alone, getting left behind or someone that is comfortable with who she is and would love to have a man but will not die if he doesn't appear. there could be many reasons why a woman is single and childless, perhaps she was in a long term relationship that didn't work out or she doesn't put up with the macho womanizing bs that is so rampant in colombian men, maybe she won't settle for anything less than her ideal or becuase of work just hasn't had the opportunity to meet someone who wants to have a serious relationship.

my fiancee has many single girlfriends in their late 20's to early 30's, one is in a relationship but he doesn't want to get married yet, one had a boyfriend for 3 years and he cheated on her, another has a boyfriend that is so imature that SHE is the one that doesn't want to get married to him, but the weird thing is that she is afraid to let go and find someone else, another is very religious and is looking for someone who will share her beliefs, so there are many reasons why there are older single women, i think that you would do better to go for these, especially if you are older. i would not go for someone more than 15 years my junior....my fiancee is 10 years younger than me.

Colombia has an extraordinary number of widows. I went to a wedding once with my wife and three other women in the car. There were three widows including my wife, a former widow.

My gosh! Accidents, violence, disease? Statistically, I think your car ride is what they call an "outlier," but I agree with your point that widows might be overlooked as great marriage material.

That it was an "outlier" but it is not at all unusual to encounter a Colombiana who is fairly young to be a widow.

I have found that women over thirty that aren't married have some issues, mainly mental. Only exeptions are women that were in very long term relationships that got dumped in there thirties. But by thirty a women has been abused mentally by so much in life, that there bags are REAL heavy...

Huh???

In my experience, Latinas over 30 are less likely to have/bring any issues/baggage into a relationship than most women. I know quite a few, through my wife, who remained single just because they were unwilling to settle for the typical Latin male behavior. Maybe you were referring to AW?

There are no differences that I have found in the women themselves other than they are from a more masculine dominated  society and willing to be more traditional due to their culture. They have baggage. The older they are living with their parents, the more set in their ways and not accustomed to change. You have to be very lucky or wise to find a good woman anywhere. Latinas due to their economics are more accepting, and because of their beauty, more desirable, but to say they are less likely to have baggage when the only way they can avoid getting used by the Colombian men is to stay at home under Mom and Dad or have a long term relationship that if they are even talking to you, the guy died or ended up leaving them, is naive. Yes there are "good ones" that have been to college and have never left home at 30, have a curfew at 30, and don't know anything else, but is that what you want? How well are you getting to know these women to say they have less baggage? Their lives are usually pretty intense just  by being where they are.

..."you have to be very lucky or wise to find a good woman anywhere..."

Already have, guess I'm just lucky and wise

"Yes there are "good ones" that have been to college and have never left home at 30, have a curfew at 30, and don't know anything else, but is that what you want?

She has been to college, never left home before 30, no curfew, (she laughed at that one) learned fluent english, visited the US before we ever met, so she "knew" a thing or two prior to our relationship. After 4 years of having  one of the best marriages on PL, we're getting to know each other pretty well.

In fairness, I did date a few that had some baggage, (Latinas that were living in the US). Thankfully they are a distant memory and I didn't waste much time on them. Honestly though, I have not detected any AW-type baggage among my wife, her close friends, my inlaws who are female, etc.

Congratulations, you have found a jewel. Usually, the ones that go to college do so with tremendous family support and never leave home until they marry. That is one of the best case scenarios. But there are many others. For every woman who fits the profile of your wife, there are twenty others that don't. I am sure that she can agree to that, or admit that the number is probably higher. To say these women do not have baggage paints a picture that leads to misunderstanding, and misunderstanding can lead to failure. If you are basing your opinion of Latinas off of your wife, her friends, and in-laws, they are probably all very similar to her as they are all a part of her circle. There are many others that aren't. Just my two cents.
