Gringos / extranjeros are prestige
To have a gringo boyfriend is prestige. It shows that men are willing to pay huge amounts of money to be with you. Girls that don't attract gringos are less worth on the market. Gringos have money and the most beautiful one's go for them.
Poverty is reality and if you can escape that-it's worth much.
It's a very socially stratified society and it seems in their nature to show-off a lot when a person have something special. Being with a gringo is a positive thing. Latin men, latin countries are nothing. France! A boyfriend from france- that is something! (example)
Gringos are desperate, but colombianas so much more. Their desperation is not just for getting good sex- it's about survival!
[QUOTE=Client 9]Like most of the eternal debates on Colombia forums, there is some truth to both sides of the debate about age differences and Colombian women.
For most guys on this forum, the debate is pointless. Each Gringo in Colombia has his own particular preferences and priorities. Some prefer prostitutes, some prefer prepagos and some prefer "normal" women. Most guys on this forum focus on prostitutes. You can shoot caged lions at any age. Age differences are irrelevant with prostitutes.
The water starts to get a little murkier with prepagos. Prepagos are simply a subcategory of prostitutes that have the ability to be selective. Some prepagos are more selective than others.
In the case of "normal" women, age is definitely a factor. However, it is only one factor. Furthermore, age is not nearly the most important factor.
The biggest obstacle to having a "serious" relationship with a "normal" Colombian woman is stigma. Colombians assume (often justifiably) that a Gringo in Colombia is desperate. This assumption is the biggest disadvantage of travel to Colombia.
If you go to many Latin American countries, there is diverse tourism in those countries. In Colombia, there are relatively few foreign business travelers. In Colombia, there are relatively few foreigners traveling as a family. In Colombia, there are relatively few foreign female travelers.
Most foreign tourists in Colombia are men, and most of those foreign men are traveling alone. Most foreign tourists in Colombia are not there to learn Spanish, visit ancient ruins, go surfing, etc. So why are the Gringos in Colombia?
If you were Colombian, what would you assume? Desperation (real or assumed) is not attractive to women.
Therefore, worrying about age is not productive. Find your balls, and develop some genuine self-confidence. I have seen countless Colombian men old enough to be my father dating Colombian women young enough to be my daughter. If Colombian guys can do it, then so can you.
Likewise, I have seen fat Colombian guys with young and beautiful Colombian women. I have seen short Colombian guys with young and beautiful Colombian women. I have seen bald Colombian guys with young and beautiful Colombian women. And so on and so forth. If Colombian guys can do it, then so can you.
In the interest of clarity, however, age is a factor. Some Colombian women do not consider age a factor, but most do.
Colombian women are experts at telling men what they want to hear. If a Colombian woman says age is not a factor, this usually means it is not a factor in your particular case. Maybe you are tall whereas many Colombian men are short. Maybe you have blond hair whereas most Colombian men have dark hair. Maybe you have light eyes whereas most Colombian men have dark eyes. Maybe you are educated and interesting whereas most Colombian men are uneducated. Maybe you are financially successful whereas most Colombian men are not.
Outside of Colombia in other countries of Latin America, I usually see Gringos with women that are more attractive than the average woman in those countries. Colombia is the exception. Colombia is the only place I have been in Latin America where I consistently see Gringos with women that are less attractive than the average woman in Colombia. Of course, this further reinforces the stereotype among Colombians that Gringos (or at least Gringos in Colombia) are desperate.
