It is incredible when the woman wants "exclusive rights".
How did she know you had those numbers?

Moam, actually I sent you an E-mail on a topic of mutual interest just before you posted above.  We've got some similar interests, along with burbuja, and hope our paths do cross.  Well, then, the second round is on me.

Colombia is a very racist country.

An Indian looking person is looked down upon and a black person is looked down upon below an Indian. That is is the way it is.

Please don't get angry with me. This is what I was told by my family.

Throughout my Colombia travels I knew a few black men and all of them found a very desirable woman. Just be persistant and don't give up. You'll do fine.

Even in Colombia, as you found out. I wouldn't give up yet. There are more dark girls in the north coast areas (Cartagena and BQ) than in the south due to the influx of slaves in the coastal regions but they can be found everywhere in Colombia.

That said, I hooked up a black guy who was a friend of a friend and he went to Cali and found a beautiful girl. They have been married for 3 years and and have a little girl.

It's not the city or the intro service, it's the girl. Just be yourself and keep looking for that gem.

You need to talk to Hoda. He's black. He's married to a Colombiana, he's happy. He'll give you the strait dope. Search the archives, see if you can scare up his email address. Or you might make a post titled 'Black man wants to know....' and hope he sees it. (actualy, I've got his email address, but won't give it out without his permission).

Hoda sought, found and married a black calena. As such he wouldn't have encountered the racism from women that is very common in this country. He posted about encountering lots of racism in Bogota. One side of my wife's family is black yet she could be considered racist in that she wouldn't date and marry a black Colombian. Racism here is full of ironies like that.

Our experience was not the norm for black visitors to Bogota. I've been informed of positive experiences by African-Americans who have recently visited Bogota. You'll find racism rearing it's ugly head in every country & culture to some degree. One has to develope their own "work arounds" in dealing with awkward situations as they come up. CV's wife's views on dating/marrying Black Colombians aren't unique. Those same views can be found with some African American women here!

Before Stivalis came into my life, I didn't experience any problems in dating Colombian women of any shade. It's natural to have preferences, we all have our preferences. Just don't let the "right one" get away, because she's lighter or darker than what your natural "preference" may have been.

CV...

 My lady had sworn off Black Colombian men, because of the drama of past relationships with them. I told her, isn't that a coincidence....I swore off trying to find happiness w/African-American women because of the drama also...

there are many good reasons not to date an african-american woman...it is very easy to free yourself.
