No, not all girls are the same.
There are certain thinks which are unique to Latins that we don't see in American women.
1. It is hard to get eye conatct with them. They will deliberately try to look away from you.
2. They don't think anything about being 20 to 40 minutes late.
3. Latin women don't dress down. Yeah, they may be casual, but they always try to look their best. Latin American is actually the world's largest consumer of makeup.
4. They really seem to require a lot more social proof before anything.
Now I am talking about girls from Latin America, not the J Lo wanabee's who were born here and can't speak spanish.
So any other advice/comments?
I've been dating a latina loca for about a year. I don't know about the eye contact comment....but
Spanish people live on "Spanish time". They are usually late. That's true.
And the makeup thing. Oh my god, my girl needs to touch up her makeup to go take a shyt. Seriously her and her sisters have so much makeup it's ridiculous.
It is very true that they usually want a more dominant/assertive man. This is because in most latin countries men have not been castrated and robbed of their manhood like most North American men. They're used to men being a$$holes to women(cheating, abuse etc) because this is how a lot of latin men act in their countries. In most latin countries the men take the idea of "machismo" very seriously.
And before someone goes "Well I know this ONE spanish girl who's not like that", all of what's been said is for the MAJORITY of them, of course there are some exceptions.
