Hello , I too am on the brink of realizing my sweet , romantic Colombian man was not the true person he is . Over time promises we’re not kept , I saw how he made up things to get out of obligations to friends hiki or family . He started to become all talk , no action but only to me. I married him , I thought we were building a life together . After being together almost 6 years married 2.5 it’s all changing so quickly .

Why do Cubans often date or marry older foreigners?

I would never advise my friend to date a colombian man, not even for fun. By far the worst of all latinos i was unfortunate enough to date. And always use protection with them, you don’t know where else he’s sticking it. In general i’d never suggest any of my girlfriends to date a latino, but i insist that colombians are by far the worst. Apparently a society which cherishes superficial relationships, selfishness and sociopathy as their norm.

I myself come from Colombian parents and visit Medellin every year. I have brown eyes and brown skin and I’m also still called “gringa”. It’s not meant to be offensive it’s what makes you unique in the crowd of paisas. It’s literally how you want to take it and if you’re that sensitive about it get ready to be called “gringo creido”.

He wants people to see how proud he is to be with you. Single men tend to woo many women and love to show off to them at parties or other outings. Once dating a Colombian man, you should expect him to continue showing off and wooing other women.

Heartbreaker … I find this read comforting to know these traits are normal for CO men. Wow thanks for your work, this article really resonates with me. I have dated a few Colombian men and this article really rings true and makes so much sense now. I tend to be very open minded about dating men from different cultures and although I have had lots of life experience I think I was a bit naive. I recently was lied to by a Colombian man that I was dating. He pretended I was the only one but he was dating many others too.

Maybe, it’s just because it was violent, as we know from its history. Many parts of this region have been existing separately, having different regimes, policies and experiencing various influences. Try to meet your girlfriend’s family as soon as possible and win her parents’ sympathy. As single Colombian women prefer masculine guys, please always take the first step.

A groom usually throws a “serenata” to his bride’s room on the day before the Colombian marriage. Girlfriends are hedonistic and know how to be happy every day. They like entertainment without complications and sophisticated stuff. As a rule, people from Colombia are very religious. They believe in God and don’t want to break Christian rules having an affair. So if you have a wonderful sense of humor – your chances to win the heart of one of them substantially increase.

Try your best moves on the dance floor.

I feel as if I’ve been being gas-lit three years running. He’d say, “be yourself, I love you as you are,” but as soon as I’d revert to being myself with him, it was open season for criticism. I bent myself into mental and emotional pretzels to keep that man happy, to the point of not recognizing myself by the time we were done. I can go on all day about how horrible Colombian men are.

There is a lot of living to be done when you have Colombians in your heart. But all in all, it sounds like a fun and loving relationship. There is much room for being social, whether with families or friends.

In Colombia, it is a large part of the culture to look after each other. When joining such a large family it is essential to learn how to engage. This can be a daunting prospect, especially if we come from smaller western families. Colombians tend to live more loudly with a lot more opinions.

His family is always going to be a priority, and however much you might not love it they are going to have a say in your relationship. So do yourself a huge favor and get on their good side. Many of the Colombian men are definitely not the type to settle down with only one woman, which is also a factor to consider when in long-distance relationships.

Get out of your head and enjoy each moment you spend together. Things will all happen as they are meant to in time. Colombian men love adventure and therefore love to go on spontaneous dates.
