Dancing is the best way I know. I never met a Mexicana who didn't love to dance. There are nightclubs in Tijuana where the Mexicans go - not in the tourist areas - too many gringo teenagers seeing how many shots of Cuervo gold before they hurl. E-mail me for specifics

this sojourn looking for a latina, I got the TLC magazine which has a number of women from Mexico.  I started writing and I also planned on going on a few tours to SA.  One of the first ladies to respond lived in Mexico City and she sent me her phone number.  This girl was so sweet and had great qualities.  She could speak English and was intelligent, hard working and independent.  She was close to her family and as sweet as can be.  But I continued on to Colombia and Venezuela and lost touch with her as I met other latinas.  I sometimes wonder and hope she was able to meet someone nice.

One of my Spanish teachers has been up here for a few years and she is from Guadalajara.  What a babe.  Everybody loves her.  She is newly married and I am close to getting there but if not, there is attraction between us.  She once told me that if she was not married, she would be fixed on me.  She used the verb fijar.  So we are just friends but I think the gringo who married her is pretty lucky.  They both met on vacation down in Mexico at a resort.

The woman who cuts my hair is Hispanic and knows that I am engaged to a Caleña.  Her nephew who is around 22 years old went with his friend to visit the friend's family in Mexico City and fell in love with the guy's sister.  He wants to marry her!  He had a girlfriend here who apparently was the classic AM, playing games on him, not appreciating all that he did for her.  So when he came back, he told her he had found someone else and this gringa is like shocked that he could be dumping her.  The family in Mexico is making them take it slow and they want this guy's parents to fly down to meet them so they can conocerlos.  His parents are making plans to do this.  

So, one road less traveled is the one to Mexico.

 Good Post!!  I brought up the beauty of Mexican women in a post a few weeks ago and nobody believed me.

Mexicanas, especially the higher class ones are beautiful, feminine, and definately a real catch for a gringo. I would like to make a couple of comments about your statement, "The middle and upper class that IS in Mexico has no need or desire to come to the USA." Consider this a GOOD thing. My wife is from a fairly wealthy family. She had no NEED nor much of a desire to live in the US. In fact, it was step down in lifestyle when she came here. There's a lot of talk about going to Colombia because the women are serious about getting out of there and a guy can do "better" there. This usually means he can come away with a younger, prettier woman. While she may look good draped on your arm when walking down the street, it doesn't necessarily translate to a better wife. Does our younger, prettier woman have more character? Are her goals more in-line with yours? Does she move with style and grace in varying business and personal social situations? Does she fit-in with your friends, family, and co-workers well? Not to sound crude, but it sounds as if more than a few MOB seekers aren't thinking of life outside their own bedrooms, and after you've been married a while, that's almost ALL of real life. The point here is that while you may do better in terms of youth and looks going to a more desperate country, but you may do better in terms of wife material to look for a higher class woman who'se primary goal isn't necessarily to bail from her country. No disrespect intended here of Columbianas in general. I know many of you have found wonderful wives and girlfriends there - and you found them by being extremely selective and wading through many who just wanted out.

Nice to hear someone speak of character and compatibility instead of legs and breasts.  If more guys thought like that there would be fewer failed marriages and less damage to both the men and women involved.

If I were single, knowing what I know now, I'd be concentrating on Mexico rather than Colombia.  My wife's great and is a caleña, but having traveled in both countries extensively and met many people, Mexico would be my first choice.  I think it's a more conservative culture with greater tradition than the South American countries I've been in.  You can find a good woman anywhere (including the US!) but I think if conservative values are a high priority, Mexico would be the better place to go.  It's more difficult to find a Mexican woman.  Agencies don't get much interest from the women there and they don't have the political situation motivating them to leave that exists in Colombia, but I think you would encounter more conservative women there, in general, than you would in Colombia and Venezuela.

Patrick,

Can you expound on the meaning of "conservative values" in your post?

Patrick,

You have made several "implications" regarding Mexico.

I am curious as to what it is that you "know now" that would make you concentrate on Mexico versus Colombia?

Now it appears that you place a premium on "conservative" culture and values, which is fine, because to each his/her own...

However, how is it that you back up your statement that Mexico has a "greater tradition"?

Maybe I'm missing something ? However I don't understand in present contexts...how 'consevative' equals 'better. And not only does this term seem vague to me...it appears as if more than one meaning is floating around. Could someone put some meaning to this word so that I and perhaps others could see how it might define 'better'.

Thanks, HD

It's a matter of personal preference for me.  I would define conservative in this case as more likely to be a virgin before marriage, and more likely to adhere to the value system of previous generations.  I think there's more social pressure for ladies to be conservative in Mexico, which is, again, a matter of opinion.  More conservative may not be what you or anybody else wants, it's just my personal preference.  And I think Colombianas are definitely way more conservative in general than American women.  It's just that from my own personal experiences, I think that Mexico's women are more conservative than Colombia's and that happens to be my personal preference.

I also think that American culture is infecting all the Latin American nations and that the younger the woman, the less likely she is to have the "old" values in as strong a dose as the more mature ladies.

I think what is meant by "conservative values" is that your wife won't be wanting to go to bars at night and dance with all the handsome men there.  I had a friend who, while in the Navy, married a girl from Thailand.  While there they had two beautiful sons.  When he brought her over here, to live in Atlanta, she started going out with some other girls from Thailand, dancing and leaving him alone at night with the kids.  Needless to say, that marriage ended in divorce.  Although we like to think that we are not jealous and have good strong egos, no man wants to share his wife with other men.  If you marry a young pretty wife and you are in your 40's or 50's it is only natural that you want a woman who has "conservative values" and will not want to ditch you the first chance she gets and go for a younger man. - Art

"If you marry a young pretty wife and you are in your 40's or 50's it is only natural that you want a woman who has conservative values"

Marry someone close to your own age and you can actually enjoy having a companion with a similar level of life experience and maturity.  Makes for good conversation and partnership.  I don't know about the rest of the guys, but I find that I don't relate well to people 20 years younger than myself other than on a superficial level.

They don't "mature faster" there, nor do the women outnumber the men X-to-1.  That's only agency hype to sell you a fantasy.  One thing that is true is that marriages between younger women and older men are more common in Latin America.  However, being more common does not mean that it's the norm or that "most" of the women prefer this.  And unless you're a pretty unusual guy, you won't be living in Latin America after marriage anyway, you'll be living here in the US where there will be a considerable stigma attached to your marriage.  You may be able to say "screw 'em, I don't care what they think," but nobody lives in a vacuum and without a social life, even if you aren't unhappy, your wife probably will be.

Randy, to attract these kinds of girls, you have to be a high caliber guy yourself. Many are not as confident as they appear. Preferring to find only economically deppressed areas for their search.Because the women there are less picky.

 It makes it easier for the average guy. Women as those you have described are more picky,harder to impress.Most will not date unattractive,fat,older,poorer gentlemen(sorry about that,but it's true). They have more American taste when it comes to looks,and are quite happy at home.

 Though I for one believe if it comes too easy,it may not be such a prize. I would prefer to work hard to be that caliber of man who can attract an educated woman who is not desperate  to leave a bad situation.                      
   I am interested in Asian because of their conservative nature,and their respect for education. But you have talked me into taking a trip to Mexico when I am ready.        

  By the way,though I am interested in Asians I also thinks latinas are incredible and after reading Randy's  post have not ruled that out. For those who wonder why I come to this board, the activity here is great! Good post!
