Marriage Agency Selling Machismo For US Men
Filed in archive Latina Musings on February 14, 2007
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?

Luckily for us, there are men who understand this - like your fianceé - and treat us like persons, not like animals.
All my best wishes to you both! :)
Many sites are not doing this. Theres MANY american men myself included who want a wonderful colombian woman due to experiences we have had in the past at university whatever....
There isnt a colombian woman anywhere close for the most part.
If i wanted a burping. cold, selfish, materialistic feminist... id go to a gay bar.... rather than marry american women..
So all things the same.... id rather have a latin woman who hasnt lost family values and PASSION in a relationship... american women its just a few GRUNTS and thats love...
i am a mexican-american man raised by my dear grandmother as a young boy so i was taught to respect a woman.
I would love a nice Colombian woman in my life, but hey i can cook, wash, clean for myself...
just need a nice woman to share the up, and downs of life.
Most men here are not happy with the american women becasue they forgot how to be ladys in the first place.
Now as to these site well they are not too bad casue well i dont know wheres theres a nice colombian woman who lives near me.
Sorry if these sites offend you.
adios
ben
I am a black male in US and I have dated latinas exclusively for 15 years. Its not because I expect then to be my slave, its because the XII century mentality means at the very least they treat men with respect. And since I can only speak for myself, i have always been treated with respect. Relationships are always you-get-what-you-give and being with a latina is no different. I have seen men not treat them right and catch hell. You can ruin a good thing.
Dont assume we all want to crack the whip on a slave. Its not even about that. And I would think that the majority of the women on that site and others would be able to tell after a 1 hour conversation what kind of man they are dealing with.
If she has been here long enough to get her permanent status then INS wont do anything. PM me if you want to discuss.
