Height and Weight given by girls on profiles

[Pete E]

The height and weight given by girls often is not accurate.I would say rarely very accurate and often way off.
A girl I am dating now is about 5ft,maybe 5ft one.MAYBE 100 lbs,probably less.My pequino baby I call her.Every thing but her first measurement.Naturals too.
What does it say  on her profile? 5ft 7.5 inches,124 lbs.Not even remotely close.I presume she knows how tall she is and what she weighs.But the conversion from metric to inches and pounds is more often screwed up than not.
But perhaps some of these girls want to be taller so the say they are.Maybe they think height in shoes.7 inch heels would explain the height.The weight would take a few bricks.Its a VERY RARE  Colombiana that is 5 ft 7 without shoes.Add those 7 inch heels she would be 6ft 2.Don't pay too much attention.
As far as age,if you are interested,try to meet them.They usually have no idea your age untill you tell them.If they are very young it might be more difficult.If the girl is 30 plus she isn't getting many lookers anyway so she will usually be accepting.Thats my experience.But it does blow them away when I tell them.Older guys in Colombia tend to really look their age.I think just hearing the number cooled one girl who was interested before.

There is another aspect to this issue.  The Colombianas measure themselves in metric units and then convert into imperial units.  

THEY DON'T USE THE CORRECT CONVERSION FACTOR!!!!!  

When I dated a Calena I found that she used 2.0 pounds per kilogram instead of the correct 2.2 pounds per kilogram.  She absolutely refused to believe me about the conversion rate.  She also used the incorrect 3 feet (36 inches) per meter instead of the correct 39 inches per meter.  

Clearly, she learned these rates from a sources and greatly rounded the factor values.  She just completely unwilling to concede that she might be incorrect about that or about gross estimations leading to error.

Yup,they don't understand it and don't seem to want to.

Hey Pete, some agencies use scales – I cant remember where I have seen it but some use them regularly

I noticed this one sentence: "If the girl is 30 plus she isn't getting many lookers anyway so she will usually be accepting." It's a real shame some of you guys do not consider these women - they make much better wives than the young 18 year old mall rats and in my opinion, they are a helluva lot more attractive. When my wife had her profile on amigos she was getting letters from guys in their 20s and she was 42 at the time. They weren't writing her because she reminded them of their mommas! Latinas don't seem to age the same way American women do and some of these women, like my wife, are stunning.

I'm 56 and engaged to a 46 year old gorgeous Peruvian!I am extremely lucky I found her and the Latinas do look much younger than their cronological age! I believe most likely this is true for two reasons. First, due to their darker pigments(Brown skin as opposed to White skin)they are more protected from the damage that the sun does to all of us over time. Secondly, I believe the diet in Latin America is much better than the typical USA diet. Many more antioxidants-fruits & vegetables-less meat. So in general the Latinas age slower than their gringa(also gringo :-( ) counterpart!

To me,from my experience in Colombia,they age well to a point then really seem to go to hell.I think its 2  things.
Poor diet,yes poor diet,for all the talk of natural foods malnutrition is very common.And at a certain age they just give up that huge effort to look good,figure it won't work anymore.In men I have seen some guys my age look 80.We are  talking from the lower classes where life is difficult and food  and medical care are poor.My ex novias dad is like 67.One foot in ther grave.He worked construction his whole life for little money.Now he can do almost nothing.No teeth and other medical neglect.

I asked my girlfriend why some thirty-year old colombians look like they are in their 60's. She said it could be due to drinking alot of Aguardiente.
She refuses to drink it. I tried it a couple of times. It is the worst tasting alcohol,I have ever tasted.

Do any of you guys like Aguardiente?
Do your novias like it?
What kind of alcohol is it?
Why is it so popular in Colombia?

Also, when some people run out of money,they buy "bootleg" whisky and they get drunk during every national holiday.
This would not be so bad, but unfortunately,there is a national holiday once a week in Colombia.

My ex-novia and Colombian amigos living in the States like it very much for fiestas, etc. Me - it is ok but prefer Medellin Rum - the 8 year old stuff is really good

Cuban rum "Siete Anos" is delicious as well.

I tried Aguardente  for the first time Saturday.Its like cane sugar liquor with a anise,liqourish taste.But its strait booze,probably no worse than other strait booze.It was just something to try.I can drink enough alcohol diluted down without drinking strait booze,which to me always tastes like hell,even good whisky or Brandy.
Yup,alcohol,poor nutrition,hardphysical work which could be OK without the first 2 but makes the effect of them worse.
A girlfriend of a friend was here in May when Tom Levy my doctor friend was here.She had swelling of the ankles.He examined her and said it was malnutrition,lack and protien and vitamins.

A cab driver told me that the guys like it because when the women drink it,they get caliente.

Nutrition- I noticed that some ladies have dark rings around their eyes.

I agree.  Older women are like fine wine (cultured with staying power), young girls are like a flat beer (great potential, but no taste)

I have gone for older,almost always over 30 women.But there is one disadvantage.They can be more stubborn and inflexible.They can know it all except how to provide for themselves.
One of my budies had ayounger girl.They were always fighting.She knew everthing about everything.He then thinks hold it,I make $400,000 a year and she can't even provide for herself and she is the one who knows everything?
