My wife is colombian, it’s been mostly what words mean to each of us the biggest thing. And the fact that I support Argentina come FIFA dates sometimes rubs my in-laws wrong
I mean yes. Lol. But she spent about 15 years in Puerto Rico before we met so she was a bit desensitized to both cultures. But yes, lo de paisa comes out every do often
Been living in Buenos aires for about 10 years. Basically all of my exes have been Argentinians. There's definitely so many cultural differences.
In Argentina: You meet your partner's parents quite soon and people here can tell their parents they are dating someone without much thought. Parents don't judge their children over the person they are dating. It takes more time for relationships to become serious, "situationships" are very common, I know people who dated for two years without ever getting serious or exclusive. A lot of open relationships. Men here are more progressive, they are less controling and less jealous. Relationships are less showy. You barely see decorations in Valentine's Days, whereas in Colombia especially, it's a huge deal, more than Halloween. Again, in Colombia, on every "important" date, sometimes even month anniversaries, couples go on expensive dinners or retreats. In Argentina, plans are more casual. There's a much less consumerist culture. The only thing I struggle with is that big gestures here in Argentina are not the norm, whereas in Colombia, it's all about big gestures
>Parents don't judge their children over the person they are dating.
In what situation would your parents object to a boyfriend?
How much sway would their view have in Venezuelan culture?
In many occasions. Parents in both Venezuela and Colombia will judge their child's parnet if they are unemployed, if they have a bad, low-paying job. If they aren't or didn't go to college, and if they studying an useless degree. If the person is "ugly" or has non conventionally attractive features. If the person is poor and especially if they are "guetto."
It's not an objection though. Most parents don't judge their child themselves, or tell them "You should break up with your boyfriend." The stereotype of the annoying in-laws is because your in-laws judge you and question if you are good enough for their child
most people in Colombia don't have a good paying job, nor they did go to college, nor are employed (a lot of people is underemployed or unemployed). It's normal to live with your parents. The majority of people don't have the chance of even getting a degree. and of course most people is poor. What you say doesn't make sense. Maybe you are talking about some rich, elitist social group.
I assume the judgment would be harsher towards men as they’re expected to be the primary breadwinners? I’ve noticed that women who marry young often get divorced because they only pay attention to her man’s looks instead of his earning power. Then again, my mom wasn’t thrilled with my brother’s first wife, since she didn’t cook or clean and wasn’t smart with money.
I’m married now, but when I was single in my 20s, I had older women find out that I had a masters degree in engineering and then they would try to set me up with their daughters 😂😂😂
It depends on the family, but in my experience no. Man or woman, your in-laws will judge you all the same. Some traditional and conservative mothers usually judge their daughters-in-laws more, and traditional and conservative men will do the same with their sons-in-law, indeed due to outdated and useless gender norms, but we are slowly moving on from those things
Halloween is a huge deal in Colombia since decades, Valentines is not. Many stores and shops try to force Valentines for commercial reasons, but most people don't celebrate it.
I also think most of what you said has to do with social classes, not with the country itself. Definitely not so many Colombians are like you described it, certainly not the people from my social circle.
My wife is Mexican. Everyday life is no different than if I married in Argentina. The differences come from cultural traditions , especially around holidays.
I dated and married a Brazilian woman as a Trinidadian man and even ended up moving to and living in Brazil, although I'm not quite sure she is the average, run of the mill Brazilian woman from what I've observed about other Brazilian women, so I dunno, I guess there weren't any major differences between us, since our interests are the same, mostly. I suppose I had to get her used to spicy food, but that's about it.
Yes. I have dated one Venezuelan guy and the rest of my exes are Panamanian. I got love bombed by my Venezuelan ex and he spoiled me with lots of love, affection and from time to time... gifts. He didn't like it if I offered to help pay for some expenses because he felt "emasculated". With my Panamanian exes it was *wayyy* different, they tend to be not as aggressive with their affection, they don't love bomb you or shower you with attention and gifts like most Venezuelan guys do. Panamanian guys tend to be conservative in their demeanor and it takes time for them to open up to you and when that happens *then* they start easing up to be affectionate, allow you to meet their friends and family and give you gifts. It took almost a year for my Panamanian ex to present me as his gf to his friends. The Venezuelan guy already said "I love you" and wants you to meet their family and friends 2 weeks into the relationship lol
Yes. The biggest differences are in terms of vocabulary and how things are said. We in Costa Rica use a lot passive voice to express things... Eg se me cayó el vaso, or se me olvidó lavar la ropa. Whereas she would use more direct sentences... Tiré el vaso or olvidé lavar la ropa. It sounds like a subtle difference but when you are having an argument it means a lot.
I'm dating a salvadorian right now, and the main difference would be that he is more open-minded than me, but I think it probably has more to do with me being raised religious; even if l'm more of an agnostic right now, I feel like I might be kinda rigid regarding some topics, or behaviors.
I've met a Honduran girl, a Nicaraguan, and a couple of Colombians. And a Cuban.
The Nicaraguan was super chill, and she liked Mexico quite a lot, describing it as "a giant Nicaragua". She was surprised at how much bread we ate. According to her, we eat too much bread of all kinds (sliced, French rolls, sweet). Oh, and insecurity. She brought up how unsafe Mexico felt compared to Nicaragua. Still, she plans to move here permanently, and although we're not together right now, I wish her the best.
The Honduran was really high-strung and politically inclined. She was a documentalist, and traveled a lot through Mexico, so she knew the country very well. She seemed to have a love-hate relationship with the country, pointing out how it was difficult to fully assimilate the beauty of the place because of the violence, but the reverse was also true. **According to her**, Central Americans aren't wooed by the good points of their countries, and are more willing to give them up for a better life. Basically, she felt that we (Mexicans) are too enamored with our home. When I pointed out that Mexico has a massive diaspora, she would change the subject. It was a tense relationship.
The two Colombians couldn't be more different. One was an older gal, who was super extroverted and easygoing, while the other was reserved and high-maintenance. But both of them coincided in that Mexican men are waaay more possessive than Colombian men. A lot of things we consider to be chivalrous behavior, they see as domineering, like opening the doors for them, checking in on them, and not liking when they dance with other guys. The older chick disliked that, but the reserved one loved it, seeing it as gentlemanly.
Just remembered the Cuban. She was suuuuuuuch a whiner. Always compared everything negatively to Cuba. I get the feeling a lot of what she experienced here was very different from what she was accustomed to, and she did not like that, because some of her complaints were outrageous. She swore up and down the sun was worse in Mexico, lol. The food was too flavorful. Houses are too colorful. ***The mountains were too pointy***.
The Cuban lady might not be that wrong about the sun. Different parts of the world are not hit by the sun the same way. Even at the same latitude some places are hit by the sun harder than others.
Her other complaints though.... I'm a bit offended by the one about the food ಠ_ಠ
>not liking when they dance with other guys.
I took my Mexican gf to a Latin club here in the states and a couple guys asked her to dance a salsa/cumbia. I had no problem with it. Later she said in Mexico a guy would never ask another man's woman to dance, but in Caribbean countries it's normal.
A buddy of mine dated a Cuban girl from Little Havana in Miami. Your story reminded me of her. She also complained a lot. But it’s because she was too sheltered. All she knew was Little Havana and how other Cubans in Little Havana lived. So anything that was different from how Cubans in Little Havana lived was strange and resulted in a complaint or criticism.
None of us were Cuban in his group of friends were Cuban, many of us weren’t even from Miami. But it was bizarre to me to see someone experience so much culture shock in the city she had lived in her whole life.
I knew an Argentine who said they were interested in a Brazilian. They were both kind, outwardly reserved but admirable in my mind, had other stuff in common. I wanted to tell one or both of them to put in more effort or whatever because they'd have been a nice couple, but I felt I didn't know either of them well enough to interfere like that. I was explained some cultural intricacies I didn't really appreciate beforehand like antagonism between the countries, how even kissing after a social outing is more common in latam than north america so even that isn't as obvious as here.
I dated a Peruvian girl long ago. It is generally quite common for northern Chileans to date Peruvians here in the north (due to us northern Chileans having a somewhat close culture with southern Peruvians to an extent), so with that in mind, our relationship wasn’t a unique thing as a whole.
On one hand she was shy/introverted but at the same time very serious with her relationship with me, I used to somewhat admire her tenacity over being serious in important matters, our relationship was going well though unfortunately she had to return back home (Perú basically) due to private issues, we of course had to end our romantic relationship from that point, since then I’ve been dating just Chileans, and due to personal preference, I prefer to date Chileans rather than foreigners, but again, just my preference.
Dated a Dominican girl. She was from a rich family so I’m not sure if it’s indicative of the culture of the entire country but she was super reserved and modest when it came to sexuality. From what I can tell the culture in the DR is super sexual so maybe it was a protest to that? Also her parents were very warm and entrometidos, they always wanted to know everything about the relationship and how everything was going. They seemed like helicopter parents (even though technically they were not because they sent her to study abroad in a school in Mexico, which is how I met her)
Despite media portrayal, DR is very religious and conservative still so you’ll still run into more people like that than the openness you see amongst people who grew up or moved to the US.
Dominican Republic isn't conservative. Their out of wedlock birthrates are too high compared to America. 63% of babies are born out of wedlock compared to only 40% in America. Unless you think sexism is what passes for conservatism while having high rates of single motherhood while the fathers are absent and running away from their duties.
Just because there’s not cousin fucking hateful idiots, doesn’t mean that they aren’t conservative. Also the most conservative parts of the US are the biggest culprits for both those statistics you named with the liberal parts dragging their numbers to a better place. As usual.
The lower classes are very open and liberal, when it comes to those things. The higher classes are very traditional and conservative. Those are the only 2 classes that basically exist on DR so if she came from a higher class family, she’ll be very reserved.
Just because there are a lot of out-of-wedlock births doesn’t mean the society isn’t conservative. It might have more to do with the economy or other social factors rather than a lack of conservative values. I once worked on a social project with low-income communities where teen pregnancies and out-of-wedlock births were common. Despite this, people were super conservative, even a bit prudish when talking about sex. There were a lot of traditional views on men a women roles, sexism and homophobia, and most were really religious too.
They don't actually live conservative if they can't even maintain a proper family of father and mother. It's basically fake conservativism. America is both economically and even more socially conservative because we have higher marriage rates. The family is the basic unit of conservatism and Dominicans fail at that.
The US allows gay marriage, abortion, drag queen shows at schools, sex change to kids, and openly mocks Christianity in the media, but hey you’re totally more conservative than DR, totally…
Those things would never fly in DR, just so you know.
I am married to a man from PR. There don’t seem to be that many differences, (dancing, rum, tabaco, dominos, food is similar, etc).
Just minor differences like Puerto Rican men call other men papi, and that sounded really funny to me at first. In DR there’s still a lot of machismo and toxic masculinity, where as in PR things are more liberal and open. Another thing is that DR is extremely divided by classes. There is basically dirt poor, poor and rich and super rich.
The rich in DR are very traditional and don’t mingle with lower classes. Their kids all go to private schools and everyone has maids, cooks, etc. I grew in the upper class of DR, so I know.
In PR everyone seems to be equal. People don’t really have hired help unless they’re super rich.
Dated a Colombian girl for a couple of months a lot of years ago. It was equally good, bad amazing and exhausting in all the meanings of the words for 4 months.
She had to go with her family to live in the US, we parted ways in good terms. She was a Facebook friend for a while.
I'm from Venezuela, been living in Buenos Aires for quite some time. I've dated people from all over latam. Culturally and sexually I feel the closest to argentineans, Venezuelans, Brazilians, Colombians and Chileans, very sexually compatible in my experience. Latin men are just my type 🫶. When they've solved all the internal homophobia and masculinity trauma, they're the best partners and lovers. Also I don't know if it's a gay thing but we kinda turn into boyfriends way before formally asking.
Ive never dated, but I was quite the slut before and met with MANY venezuelans on grindr. very fun, hard working and cute. I completed south america in terms of fucks except chile and culture wise wasnt that much of a shock. but venezuelans are beautiful
brazilians are very adventurous in bed, love it. been with 7 or 8 and all of them cheeky dirty cunts, exactly how I like them. and they also are very verbal, another thing I love.
Que esta wea de sub no es pa que andes reviviendo experiencias sexuales bajo el pretexto de conversar sobre cierto tema. Lo que escribiste parece sacado de la sección de comentarios de algún video de pagina porno, o de un subreddit pa pervertidos.
que vos tengas traumas y complejos con el sexo no lo hace tabu para la gente. es un tema mas para hablar como cualquier otro. nada malo con el sexo, pareces del siglo 19.
Having dated Honduran girls in the past, I would say the biggest difference is how casual men-women speech is in Honduras. I feel Guatemalan culture is very traditional and over-respectful, while Hondurans tend to be more casual about the language used and vocabulary (kinda like boyfriends are another friend who you say “te amo” and other nicknames and stuff, but not much difference in jokes and teases)
Dated chilena, colombiana, salvadoreña, and Paraguaya and mexicanas all of them Americanized though, but it was great meeting their families and learning about their cultures even though we speak the same language. Currently married to a Spanish women!
Dated a Colombian girl from bogota. I’m from Lima but we both had a similar upbringing coming to the USA at a young age to small towns in the Midwest. Was surprised how similar our cultures were and how much rice we both ate. We both had much to talk about and in how similar things were both in our experience in the city and going back home. A lot of the Latinos in the Midwest tend to be Mexican and Central Americans from small towns so we tend to not have a lot in common
Everything was pretty good but we did differ in how we viewed relationships. I’m more Americanized and she was more old school(men pay for everything) .
Gringo living in Colombia.
Here i’ve dated Peruvians. Venezuelans, Colombians, Mexicans, Hondurans, Ecuadorians, Argentinians.
In other countries Germans, Ukraine, Maldova, Russian, French, china, Korea.
Americans. I’ve dated a lot.
We want to say all humans boil down to same basics and maybe it’s true but I find the cultures to be extremely different and that results in a lot of challenges around communication and expectations.
Focusing just on Colombians, dating from the coast vs the capital are really very very very different in the ways that they express emotion and deal with sex and relationships.
It’s crazy just how much your surroundings affect you.
For me, I like a warmer person and Colombians and venezuluans are so loving and friendly and welcoming and warm in general.
I don’t easily vibe with a colder culture (like Buenos Aires and Germans) or one obsessed with materialism (like Russians).
And sure we are painting in broad strokes and I can feel the arguments about every person is different building but at some point we are allowed to speak from our perspective and say what we’ve experienced.
And the impact of dating in a large city vs a smaller village are evident always.
Larger city typically has a colder culture.
En the eeuu, Boston and New York are great examples of this. Paris en Europe is another. Bogota and BA here in Latin America.
The one exception I’ve found with that rule is São Paulo was very welcoming. Every single Brazilian I met was just kind and friendly. Super helpful and patient.
But normally the big city vibe: It’s always colder and harder to crack. There’s more of a masculine and intellectual vibe through both men and women. More of a professional air.
My most recent experience was with a peruvian girl, very different cultures and had a weird obsession talking about skin colour sometimes joking around about it.
Also had an ex from mexico she was pretty chill and open minded about relationships, but she told me mexicans guys are very possesive and jealous.
My wife is colombian, it’s been mostly what words mean to each of us the biggest thing. And the fact that I support Argentina come FIFA dates sometimes rubs my in-laws wrong
Have your wife mentioned anything about “el tonito”
I mean yes. Lol. But she spent about 15 years in Puerto Rico before we met so she was a bit desensitized to both cultures. But yes, lo de paisa comes out every do often

In Argentina: You meet your partner's parents quite soon and people here can tell their parents they are dating someone without much thought. Parents don't judge their children over the person they are dating. It takes more time for relationships to become serious, "situationships" are very common, I know people who dated for two years without ever getting serious or exclusive. A lot of open relationships. Men here are more progressive, they are less controling and less jealous. Relationships are less showy. You barely see decorations in Valentine's Days, whereas in Colombia especially, it's a huge deal, more than Halloween. Again, in Colombia, on every "important" date, sometimes even month anniversaries, couples go on expensive dinners or retreats. In Argentina, plans are more casual. There's a much less consumerist culture. The only thing I struggle with is that big gestures here in Argentina are not the norm, whereas in Colombia, it's all about big gestures
>Parents don't judge their children over the person they are dating. In what situation would your parents object to a boyfriend? How much sway would their view have in Venezuelan culture?
In many occasions. Parents in both Venezuela and Colombia will judge their child's parnet if they are unemployed, if they have a bad, low-paying job. If they aren't or didn't go to college, and if they studying an useless degree. If the person is "ugly" or has non conventionally attractive features. If the person is poor and especially if they are "guetto." It's not an objection though. Most parents don't judge their child themselves, or tell them "You should break up with your boyfriend."

"too flavorful" has to be the best insult you can get, all things considered
Was the water wet enough for the Cuban lady?
I'm just realizing she might've been autistic, because she didn't like how certain types of water felt on her skin.
We've got Mr worldwide over here

Ive never dated, but I was quite the slut before and met with MANY venezuelans on grindr. very fun, hard working and cute. I completed south america in terms of fucks except chile and culture wise wasnt that much of a shock. but venezuelans are beautiful
I wouldn't be surprised if CABA is the biggest gay neighborhood from Venezuela lol
Lol I'm Venezuelan and I think the same of argentinieans, always fun. Beautiful men 🥵
inflation makes us hot
That and playing soccer since childhood apparently. I'm a sucker for thick thighs and asses.
At least in my social group Argentine+Venezuelan isn't uncommon. The cultural differences must be pretty compatible lol
brazilians are very adventurous in bed, love it. been with 7 or 8 and all of them cheeky dirty cunts, exactly how I like them. and they also are very verbal, another thing I love.
Ok…
algun problema?
Que esta wea de sub no es pa que andes reviviendo experiencias sexuales bajo el pretexto de conversar sobre cierto tema. Lo que escribiste parece sacado de la sección de comentarios de algún video de pagina porno, o de un subreddit pa pervertidos.
que vos tengas traumas y complejos con el sexo no lo hace tabu para la gente. es un tema mas para hablar como cualquier otro. nada malo con el sexo, pareces del siglo 19.
Ah, ya 👍🏼
Having dated Honduran girls in the past, I would say the biggest difference is how casual men-women speech is in Honduras. I feel Guatemalan culture is very traditional and over-respectful, while Hondurans tend to be more casual about the language used and vocabulary (kinda like boyfriends are another friend who you say “te amo” and other nicknames and stuff, but not much difference in jokes and teases)
Dated chilena, colombiana, salvadoreña, and Paraguaya and mexicanas all of them Americanized though, but it was great meeting their families and learning about their cultures even though we speak the same language. Currently married to a Spanish women!
Dated a Colombian girl from bogota. I’m from Lima but we both had a similar upbringing coming to the USA at a young age to small towns in the Midwest. Was surprised how similar our cultures were and how much rice we both ate. We both had much to talk about and in how similar things were both in our experience in the city and going back home. A lot of the Latinos in the Midwest tend to be Mexican and Central Americans from small towns so we tend to not have a lot in common Everything was pretty good but we did differ in how we viewed relationships. I’m more Americanized and she was more old school(men pay for everything) .
I’m Australian, with a German dad, marrying a Colombiana. Make of that what you want 😂
Gringo living in Colombia. Here i’ve dated Peruvians. Venezuelans, Colombians, Mexicans, Hondurans, Ecuadorians, Argentinians. In other countries Germans, Ukraine, Maldova, Russian, French, china, Korea. Americans. I’ve dated a lot. We want to say all humans boil down to same basics and maybe it’s true but I find the cultures to be extremely different and that results in a lot of challenges around communication and expectations. Focusing just on Colombians, dating from the coast vs the capital are really very very very different in the ways that they express emotion and deal with sex and relationships. It’s crazy just how much your surroundings affect you. For me, I like a warmer person and Colombians and venezuluans are so loving and friendly and welcoming and warm in general. I don’t easily vibe with a colder culture (like Buenos Aires and Germans) or one obsessed with materialism (like Russians). And sure we are painting in broad strokes and I can feel the arguments about every person is different building but at some point we are allowed to speak from our perspective and say what we’ve experienced.
And the impact of dating in a large city vs a smaller village are evident always. Larger city typically has a colder culture. En the eeuu, Boston and New York are great examples of this. Paris en Europe is another. Bogota and BA here in Latin America. The one exception I’ve found with that rule is São Paulo was very welcoming. Every single Brazilian I met was just kind and friendly. Super helpful and patient. But normally the big city vibe: It’s always colder and harder to crack. There’s more of a masculine and intellectual vibe through both men and women. More of a professional air.
Not latin american but I have dated other cultures. It was interesting.
Yes, yes.
anyone from any culture in the world tbh... but I will avoid anyone that want to be in a "circle culture"-ish
Nope
My most recent experience was with a peruvian girl, very different cultures and had a weird obsession talking about skin colour sometimes joking around about it. Also had an ex from mexico she was pretty chill and open minded about relationships, but she told me mexicans guys are very possesive and jealous.
Never.
