More on Mexicanas!

[Alteno]

I am posting this in response to the e-mails I have been recieving:

As one who used to think all Mexicanas looked like the girls I saw in Oregon, I know it is hard to cast away all of your generalizations and stereotypes. I don't say that to be mean to the Hispanic women in the USA, as there surely are some beautiful women in that ethnic category. It is just that you have to come here to see it to believe it. Five years ago, I could barely pronounce Guadalajara, and little did I know that there were some of the most beautiful women in the world there. Some of the Mexican boys I had worked with on our farm had told me bits and pieces of the Guadalajara 'myth' and so did some of the boys working at my favorite Mexican reastarant. They knew the differance between Gringas and Mexicanas. They said that Guadalajara had the worlds prettiest women and that it would be easy to find a nice, beautiful and traditional wife there.

  I also had no idea of the variety of women in this region. Absolutely breathtaking beauty, from Gueras (blond hair, blue eyes) to Morenas. Tall, as in 5'10" or thereabouts, seems to be average. Curvaceous, not as in bubble butt (too big IMO) girls from the Caribbean, but athletic...perfect! You just have to see it to believe it. Let me just say that there are more pretty girls in this town where I live (pop. 70,000) than in all the agency catalogs in Colombia, I really believe that.

  The girls from Sonora are really pretty, as are the girls from Sinaloa and Chihuahua, where they are also very tall...absolutely stunning! Most of you guys on this forum have no idea how good it is here, no idea whatsoever! Girls from Sonora look similar to girls from Hawaii, as there is some kind of strong Chinese influence in some of the cities there. Italian and Lebanese influence in Puebla, French and Dutch influence in Los Altos (where I live), Syrian and Chinese influence in Sonora, German influence in Sinaloa, Cuban influence in Veracruz...on and on...

  I get frustrated with PL and the LWL. Most of what is discussed is Colombian agencies. There are thousands of guys from
the USA, Canada, Europe living and working here in Mexico, dating and married to beautiful Mexicanas. Sometimes PL is a box, and I am posting here to encourage thinking outside the box...

Randy, I would like to travel to Mexico and meet some ladies there. Could you tell me which city would you recommend. I would like to run a personal ad with a photo prior to going there. Do you think I would get a good response?

Randy, you say:

Randy...

We've had several threads in the past regarding the issues that "certain" gringos have to face in Mexico, and other issues that gringos in general who are looking for a Mexicana must face...and you yourself have acknowledged these issues.

So, while I can understand your pride in your wife's beauty and "conservative" nature, as well as your opinion on what is "most" beautiful...you yourself continue to think inside a box.

1) IMO, until the stigma that is attached to "certain" gringos is eliminated, Mexico can not and will not be as good a place to search as Colombia, Venezuela, Panama, Dominican Republic, Brazil, Honduras...for those "certain" gringos.

2) You say "Thousands of men from the USA, Canada, and Europe living and working in Mexico, dating and married to beautiful Mexicanas"? -Are you paying attention to what you are presenting? If a guy is ALREADY living and working in Mexico...he would likely have few issues meeting nice "traditional", "conservative" Mexicanas, right? -And he likely wouldn't be looking elsewhere if the Mexicanas are all that you describe them to be.

Until/unless another place surpasses Colombia in terms of accessibility and feasibility, Colombia will continue to be what people talk about on the forums that you've listed.

Being that you now live in Mexico. You are in a position where you could likely offer guys some REAL practical assistance of some sort, were you of a mind to.

As the saying goes..."put up, or...".

Knowuttamean?

Tai,

I'm trying to read between the lines here.  Are you suggesting that Mexicans in general have negative thoughts (stigma) toward people whose skin color is black?

Hey El D, I sent an email to the address in your profile.

...I am not here to gloat, believe me. I am just reporting on what I see walking around here everyday, on every corner, etc. The quality of these girls, IMO, is unsurpassed, and at the same time, virtually undiscovered by men such like the inhabitants of this forum. These girls are friendly, place a high premium on education, are traditional and drop dead gorgeous. If these girls were in the USA, they would be dating Portland Trailblazers, Doctors,'old money' or one of the Backstreet Boys. But in Mexico, they are sweet and many are untainted by the things that have affected Gringas.

I am just trying to say, Mexico presents unlimited opportunites for the man who wants to try it on his own, or through a language school for one,two or three weeks, which I think is a great way to network as you live with a family, get to know your teachers and have a lot of free time to explore and meet these girls on your own...

Maybe I like to post here just because I am the only Gringo in town, and it gets old trying to speak in my bad Spanish...This is an outlet for me...

You should post contact information for some Guadelajara newspapers so men could place their own personal ads.  I think unless you're an attractive young man (blond hair and blue eyes would help) and very outgoing with good Spanish skills, the chances of meeting Miss Right on a vacation by just going are quite slim.  I spent a fair amount of time in Mexico, and I was fairly young at the time (33-35) and I found it quite difficult to meet ladies.  I had a Mexican girlfriend before that who I met by chance beside a pool here in San Diego while she was on vacation and that's how I got interested in Mexican women. But when I later purposely went to Tijuana at times hoping to meet another, I found it difficult to generate any interest.  I went to dance clubs in the Zona Rio area and thought it was harder to get the Mexicanas to dance with me than it was to get gringas in San Diego interested.  Maybe they were just too used to the drunken idiots vacationing there and don't trust gringos much.

I think without knowing some of the middle class people to get an "in" with the ladies, it's hard to get anywhere.

You can do a google search for Guadalajara Colony Reporter, as I have seen a couple of ads from older fellows there, and it is an English newpaper. Other Spanish newspapers would be Ocho Columnas and Publico. I have an address for El Informador at www.informador.com.mx/

Good Luck...

Here in Dallas, we have a magazine called: Dallas... When I lived in Pittsburgh, they had one. Ft. Worth has one, too. Seems to be a higher class of people read it than just the newspaper.

They also had personal ads in it.

DOes GDL have the equivalnet?

Your on the right track.  The women probably aren't going to be reading the newspapers.  In the U.S. most cities have these upscale magazines, for example, in Los Angeles they have one and in Washington D.C. they have one with a section for singles ads.  However, Mexico is a different culture and I have no idea if such magazines exist there.  The real question is are there magazines local to Guadalajara which cater to a young Mexican female audience?

As I said in an earlier post the magazine they read is "TU". You can find the address on the net with a "Spanish" search engine.

... in response to Re: Re: What about magazines?, posted by Cali vet on Feb 25, 2002

This really doesn't help.  When you put "TU" into the search engine you get hundreds of hits because this is a very common word in spanish, i.e. the familiar word for you.  Do you have a web page?

www.televisa.cl then select "tu" from the list on the right.

....although the link is to chile ".cl".  But its a start.  They also advertised "TV & Novelas" which is popular in Mexico and Colombia.  The spanish version of Cosmo also sounds like an interesting possibility.

I don't know why the blanket company is in Chile but the magazine seems to be read all over Latin America. I've seen it here and in Colombia and there are lots of letters written in from girls in Mexico so it must be on sale there too. If you want to learn about applying make-up, doing nails or making cookies it's THE magazine.
