It seemed like a good idea: I've read an article describing how lonely Latinos in the US were finding love in Latin America, through the Website of a marriage agency, which offers Colombian brides.

I thought it was interesting, and went to check it out. I was unpleasantly surprised.

"Engage The Exotic - Latin Women of Colombia. International Introductions is your opportunity to meet and marry Latin women significantly younger and more beautiful than what is locally available. With a dash of American determination you too will discover an exotic, young, attentive, Latin bride is attainable. International Introductions is your pathway to that exotic engagement. Embrace this opportunity and let us show you the pleasures, passions and devotion of beautiful Latin women from South America."

What a load of $#%&! "Significantly younger and more beautiful than what is locally available"?! They are full of it! And it gets worst:

"It is common knowledge that Latin American women are faithful, loyal, and devoted wives. (...)Colombian women stay with their first family until marriage and then the tradition continues with their new family. They have been raised to complement, nurture and respect their men. (...)"

"With Colombian women you get all the extras without the compromises. There's not a better class of woman on the planet..."

Basically, they are saying Latin American women (and specially Colombians) are morons. The text covers its offensive machismo with a varnish of compliments.

Apparently this people think we're the best class of women 'cause we were raised to be a wife from the XII century. "All the extras without the compromises" means: "Buy a Latin American Bride, she'll kiss your feet and worship the ground where you stand! And she won't ask for anything, you won't have to give her anything in exchange!"

I am absolutely convinced that the wife should nurture and respect her husband (or her man, for that matter). But I also believe the husband should nurture and respect his wife as well. For me, the sexist concepts implied in the text from this website are outrageous and offensive. Check it out and see for yourself.

As I've said, what a load of $#%&! What do you think?
