Dating Scene?

[edub]

OK, first off, if you are one of those females that is easily offended by guys talking about dating and other guy stuff please stop reading now. I don't want you to be offended, I don't want to argue about the issues discussed here and I don't plan on defending my opinions. So, once again, if you don't want to discuss this topic in a constructive manner, please leave those of us who do to our discussion.

That being said, I'd like to hear from the men on this forum with regard to dating Mexican girls. Specifically, what are your experiences, opinions on the issue and good places to meet good ones. of course I don't want to get stuck with one that is out to drain my bank account and of course I plan on being fluent in Spanish in a couple years.

So far, my understanding about Latina women is that they are very traditional, family minded and much more appreciative of what their men do for them. Being a traditional Conservative guy myself I am much more attracted to women who respect their husbands and who appreciate what we do for them than the opposite which is what I mostly find in the US.

GUYS your input would be appreciated.

I am a guy. I haven't dated anyone, but I have met a lot of Mexican women. My experience is that they are all over the map, just like US women. One friend is a hippy who has lived with her significant other for 15 years and they just got married so that he would be covered under her health insurance. Another is a young female engineer friend who is in her 30s and has a long term boy friend and is not ready to settle down or live with him yet. Another women I know is in her 20s, pregnant and planning a civil wedding soon.

You indicate you are looking for women that will give you respect. Curiously, your post seems to indicate that you have little respect for the opinions of women reading this forum. Respect is a two way street here just like anywhere else in the world.

A traditional one will come with traditional brothers, father and uncles. They'll keep him in sight at all times.

Tundra, I in no way indicated that I don't respect the opinions of the women on this forum. I'm just not really seeking it on this issue. If a female forum member was born and raised in Mexico I would certainly welcome her input. But I don't feel there is a lot to gain in asking a bunch of American or Canadian women their views on dating Latina women. I may be wrong but I'd assume they have little experience with this particular activity.

So, getting back on topic, how many of you guys have experience with Latina women that you would like to share?

I've got no problem with that. That just tells me she is raised right.

Like Jack Nickelson said" You Can Not handle the Truth" and a guy from Detroit can not handle a Mexican woman. Not without years of practice and the letting of blood.
It is nothing like TV and Movies. If you want a chiquita to cook your food, wash your clothes, and rub your tired feet you are only 50 years too late.

Here.

Specifically, what are your experiences, opinions on the issue

You will probably get all kinds of opinions, depending on people's experiences, is not any different than dating American women. One of my best friends dated an American man who was cheap, neurotic and paranoid, not to mention a raging alcoholic, she literally had to leave him in the middle of the night and move to another city and severe all ties with him. Yet if you ask her what is her opinion about American men, she will simply say some of them are good and some of them are not worth it, just like anywhere else.

Generally speaking I guess you can say Mexican women are a bit more traditional and closer to their families than than Americans.

good places to meet good ones

Friends introductions work well. Go to lots of house parties and dinner parties, you are more likely to meet someone there rather than bars, clubs etc. Volunteering, group classes for hobbies of your interest (dancing, photography etc), and of course lots of couples meet at work.

I don't want to get stuck with one that is out to drain my bank account

This will be entirely up to you actually. If you are not able to identify an American gold digger, you won't probably won't identify a Mexican one either. By the way, most well educated Mexican women (which I presume is the kind of woman you are after) are well aware of the fact that the economy in the USA is pretty crappy and has been for a while, so the fact that you are American will not necessarily be interpreted as you having lots of money (unless you have lot of class too )

Thanks for the input. You might be suprised to know how many American men seek women from other cultures. I don't want to turn this into a gender war but I do believe supply and demand is true in dating. Let's just say that for whatever reason Women in the US are in far greater demand than men and they are well aware of it and take full advantage of it. In many other cultures, good men are in high demand so their woman have a reason to make themselves marketable.
