4givrnt4gtr Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Hahahaha...wow... well well well i love the rep we created for ourselves!! I was born and raised in Colombia, and to be honest it really does depend from where he is from. In some areas of the country behavior like that is definitely unseemly (such as in the capital). However when you go out to rural areas, and small towns, specially where its more of a tropical climate, people tend to party a lot more. (Unfortunately it shows in their lack of class at times too) They do have a LOT more fun than we uptight people of the city, though we still do love to dance and usually are very good at it . Also, just as a side note these people tend to be very very close family wise, and if you prove yourself worthy, they will stick by you no matter what. Now the whole thing with the drugs and crazy alcohol...that just personal stuff. In fact usually Colombians are totally against drugs due to the horrible consequences they have brought to our country for so long. So in short..no, the whole drugs and alcohol madness has nothing to do with them being Colombian... I say if you are interested in this person forget about whether he is from Colombia or not. Get to know them and see if who he fits what you need...if not..then move right along.
4givrnt4gtr Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Anyway, about the Colombian girl. Most of the people I know that date Colombian girls get hang up on them big time and can't let go. Boys and girls. You know...ive heard that before. I heard it from my first bf, and from my sister's ex husband. I wonder why is that. I wonder if we treat our significant others differently than other cultures... Lol kinda nice to hear while im going thru a messy break up
twice_shy Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 I don't have any insight as to her being of Latin origin, but the "lewd" dancing would be enough to put me off...that is if she was engaging in it. Simulating sex on the dancefloor is a quality I don't want in a woman. Haven't met one yet that can be trusted.
Tomcat33 Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Now the whole thing with the drugs and crazy alcohol...that just personal stuff. In fact usually Colombians are totally against drugs due to the horrible consequences they have brought to our country for so long. So in short..no, the whole drugs and alcohol madness has nothing to do with them being Colombian... Yeah the whole drugs thing I am not sure about and I can see people there having opposing views for social economic reasons, but the drinking I am not so sure. I went to Colombia a few years ago for a friend's wedding she comes from a wealthy family, was in Bogota and Cartagena and let me tell you everywhere we went be it someone's house or mid afternoon the local bars or a night out there were copious amounts of alcohol being consumed. I thought we Canadians drank a lot but they put us to shame when I was there.

"She" is actually a "he" If you can't trust women maybe you should try men but take it from my gay pals they are worse.?
Jilly Bean Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 I once dated a Mexican guy (kinda impossible to dodge in SoCal). He was VERY respectful - took me to meet him family on our second date (all 452 of them were over that day), never touched me, etc. From what my hairdresser told me (also Mexican), Mexican men will treat their GF's very well, won't have sex with them, but will have booty on the side. Probably true, as I started screwing his brother about 3 weeks into it. HOWEVER, point it, he was very sweet, and yes, very religious and into family. I dug that!
Tomcat33 Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 IProbably true, as I started screwing his brother about 3 weeks into it. HOWEVER, point it, he was very sweet, and yes, very religious and into family. I dug that! He was so great you decided to boink his brother? nice.
Jilly Bean Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 He was so great you decided to boink his brother? nice. I don't think I ever said he was so great.
Cov Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 I don't think I ever said he was so great. You're a classy woman, Bean.
Tomcat33 Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 I don't think I ever said he was so great. Ok let me rephrase: HOWEVER, point it, he was very sweet, and yes, very religious and into family. I dug that! You really dug the guy and so you boinked his brother three weeks in? I'd hate to see what you would do if you disliked the guy....
Jilly Bean Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Ok let me rephrase: You really dug the guy and so you boinked his brother three weeks in? I'd hate to see what you would do if you disliked the guy.... Again, NEVER said I really dug the guy. I said I dug that he was religious and into his family, which is something I respect in ALL people. Never said I dug him. Geesh. You keep trying to make a point, why I'm not sure, but you're still failing at it.
Tomcat33 Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Again, NEVER said I really dug the guy. I said I dug that he was religious and into his family, which is something I respect in ALL people. Never said I dug him. Geesh. You keep trying to make a point, why I'm not sure, but you're still failing at it. My point is that I find it kind of crass that you were dating a guy and boinked his brother three weeks in. Have I succeeded in making my point clear now?
Cov Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 It was crass, but that's just one of feminism's greatest achievements. Accept facts, there's a lot of women who have embraced male behaviour, Jilly Bean is just another one who bit the dust, it's not her fault, so I don't think she should be interegated.
Jilly Bean Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 My point is that I find it kind of crass that you were dating a guy and boinked his brother three weeks in. Have I succeeded in making my point clear now? I was no longer dating him when I took up with his brother. And I don't think the point of my post was to have you go to these lengths to pass judgment on my dating life. Pretty off-topic wouldn't you say? (You're welcome, Tony - lol) The point of it was for the OP who asked about experiences in dating Latinos, which is what I offered.
electric_sheep Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 OMG, why don't we just stereotype the people from 2 whole continents people? Anyone see anything wrong with this? I mean, really... I can only hope on the Columbian version of Loveshack there isn't a thread entitled "Anyone ever date an American?", werein the poster asks to summarily stereotype the entire American population and what it's like dating "them".
confused2007 Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 A brazilian....wow....she's amazing......if it fails....will look for more
twice_shy Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Ohhh broooother, read the thread. "She" is actually a "he" If you can't trust women maybe you should try men but take it from my gay pals they are worse.? I trust women just fine. But none that I have ever dated, or known that my friends have dated, that like to act like they were f#cking other guys on the dancefloor were trustworthy.

I can only hope on the Columbian version of Loveshack there isn't a thread entitled "Anyone ever date an American?", werein the poster asks to summarily stereotype the entire American population and what it's like dating "them". Oh really....? I didn't see it as something politically incorrect. I mean you must admit there are distinct styles to each culture. I am sure there ARE paralels being drawm amongst what American's are like to date, or British or Canadians or Russians. I mean there are very distinct tendencies to each culture and it is expected this is going to spill over into the way we relate romantically. I have dated North America, Middle Eastern, European, British, Hispanic, Jewish... and each one had distinct differences that pertained to their culture of origin that cannot go unnoticed. (Just call me the United Nations...that's another story...) We live in mutlicultural societies and it is natural that a person can wonder what it is like to date someone of another culture.
Tomcat33 Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 It was crass, but that's just one of feminism's greatest achievements. Accept facts, there's a lot of women who have embraced male behaviour, Jilly Bean is just another one who bit the dust, it's not her fault, so I don't think she should be interegated. First of all not it's not that has nothing to do with feminism. Second are you implying that it's ok or even common for MEN to date women and a few weeks in they poke the sister of the girl? Because that is what is seems you are saying here with your comment about women adapting male behaviour... I was no longer dating him when I took up with his brother. And I don't think the point of my post was to have you go to these lengths to pass judgment on my dating life. Thanks for clarifying that. In my defense I didn't get that from your original post it appeared that you were still dating the guy since you drew a parallel to how Mexican men won't sleep with their g/f's but will have a woman on the side and then you gave the brother incident as example. Sorry if I misread what you meant.
