Do Mexicans Want to Date a Local or Foreigner?

• The first mexican guy already said how direct the people from Europe usually are , well , seems like the way people say "i love you" can be different from each perspective , but i like people who normally are like that

• Muy bueno! Me gusta mucho Mexico!

• 😻😻😻😻😻😻

• 1) One of the girls sounded extremely contradicting. First you want interdependence, then you want to be taken care of. I can't exactly understand what she wants.

  2) when I first dated a Mexican girl it was heavy, I never really got used to the constant I love you being North American, you never really say you love them unless you actually mean it.

  • 1) You just described a woman.

  • 1) Female illogic. They mean they want special privilege & to not put in any work themselves.

• Love mexican people (especially mexican women). Greeting from Indonesia ❤❤❤

• The argument that Mexican men can be too traditional is valid, and true for most of LatAm I'd say. But Mexican and other Latin-American women should ask themselves if the same isn't true for them too. Women raised in patriarchal cultures internalise patriarchal notions of masculinity too, and if a guy is nice and kind to them, they automatically see him as "not man enough", or even think he's homosexual. Foreign men may not fall into what patriarchal culture defines as "real, manly men", but they have the benefit of being white and (on the average) financially well off, two traits that "make up" for their lack of "traditional Latin-American manliness".

  Bottom line is: yeah, Mexican and other LatAm men must be better, but Mexican and other LatAm women should do some soul-searching too and reconsider their expectations of men.

• (from US living in Mexico) I've had several dates tell me they love me on the first or second date....or even when we were still just texting before meeting!!! (However, there are two degrees of "I love you" in Spanish.) In fact, I was just told yesterday and he was aware of this cultural difference, so we talked about it a bit. I told him, for me, I just want to say I like you, which translates to "Me gustas". He told me that is more for if you see someone on the street and you're intesrested in him, so you tell your friend, "Me gusta" (I like him). I've also had someone have my meet his entire family the day I met him, trying to be touchy in front of them as if we were actually a couple. The main struggle I'm having is people not knowing how to make plans. I'll tell them I'm interested in going on a date and throw out some days I'm free. One would expect that they would then return some days and times he is free, but instead he'll make some sort of not quite related comment like, "Oh nice, are you usually off on the weekends?" instead of ever answering directly.

  • He may be respectful so as not to be perceived as "pushy". On the other hand, he is "thinking", he has to look at some details before proposing alternatives. Doesn't want to be misunderstood, he is careful.

• great video! Much love to Mexicans, especially to Karla, she seems such a fun person lol.

• The women want to be modern and empowered women, but still expect very patriarchal behavior. I had a German friend who also invited me and looked after me. My current boyfriend is Mexican and he irons his shirts and also helps a lot around the house. It's not all black and white. For me personally, an equal partnership is important. But with lots of romance and love!😍

  • Do you also pay 50% of your bills?

• 😂my brother just came back from Mexico 🇲🇽 on Tuesday, the Mexican women are very friendly and passionate. I think most women in Mexico 🇲🇽 prefer foreigners. They called my brother “Papi”.

  • 😂😂🥰

  • Passionate? Mexican girls are the most boring girls to date, well at least in my case
