Overall what do men think of Mexican-American girls?

[ChicanaChick]

My nickname says it all. I don't fit some of the stereotypes (ex: I suck at dancing lol) and sometimes find myself in the middle between both cultures.

Overall what do men think of us? What comes to their mind?

I had a crush on a Chicana girl in university. We were friends for a while, but then went our separate ways after graduation. She had a boyfriend anyways.

She wasn't a whole lot different from Mexicans in Mexico. She had the generosity, but also the feist and sass. I was just annoyed, because she would cancel plans last minute or not show up at all then act like it's no big deal. But like most Latinas, she would get temperamental very easily. She was kind of caught between me and her boyfriend, but damn, she was finnnnnnneeeeeeeee!

In hindside, it's probably best it didn't work out. I see now Latinas aren't for me. They're too much to handle. And unfortunately, a lot of them are left leaning and I'm right leaning.

I kind of agree about being stuck between both cultures. She acted like she doesn't speak Spanish, but was ordering in Spanish at Mexican restaurants and doing interviews on Mexican news stations. She loved soccer, but she always seemed to be stuck between rooting for the US and Mexico. Her boyfriend had a lot of pride in Mexico. There was another Chicana girl I knew online who would also shit on the US team and root for Mexico in matches. I feel like a lot of them still have strong loyalties to Mexico, though at the same time, one got offended when I told her she has an accent. It seems like they wanna be American in front of White people and Mexican in front of Mexican people. It's like they're trying to please both sides, and it's very confusing. But then I've met others who didn't even speak Spanish or know what Day of the Dead is, so you can't really generalize them, though I think many of them do share common characteristics.

But the biggest issues come with their politics, as most of them are left leaning and I'm right leaning. Though I did meet one before that was right leaning. She was light skinned, but she ended up being a psycho.

I liked Latinas before, especially since they were always into me, but now I see they're not for me. And my mom feels I would have to support her entire family.

I could still be close friends with one if she didn't give me attitude and shared my views and values, but dating and marriage, I don't know. Especially since I hate the Mexican soccer team. LOL

[ChicanaChick]

Thanks for sharing it. Throwing tantrums and having an attitude isn't cute nor normal. It's bringing drama into a relationship. I think it's fair for anyone to walk away from that.
As for dating and marriage, most of us do want that. Though some of us aren't interest in having kids that young anymore. Instead we're focusing on continuing with college and other goals. I'm childfree at out of choice for the meantime. If I had kids though, either 1 or 2 is enough. I have no interest in popping babies like crazy. Another stereotype is that we end up with 4 kids. Too much.

[ChicanaChick]

So yeah nowadays ages 20-24 is early for kids, even for a woman. I was thinking maybe 26-28.

[KostasKouvalis]

That's all completely reasonable. I'm actually 30. I didn't put my proper age on here. The light skinned psycho I told you about wanted 5 kids. That's too much. I don't know why anyone would WANT 5 kids. Maybe this stereotype is true in Mexico, especially in poor rural areas, but not so much here.

I hate to say this, but every time I befriend or try to date a Latina, there is always some kind of drama and fighting. It's like they can't live with it, because it's either HER way or the highway. And often, it's the stupidest shit, some of which doesn't even effect them. Like friends aren't supposed to make you feel like an asshole.

I think people in general are getting married and having kids at a later age. That's not just a Chicana thing.
I also get the vibe that a lot of Chicano men, don't like seeing gringos with their girls, even though a lot of them prefer us. Another stereotype I hear is they like to be spoiled. My friend from Uni certainly did. Not by me, but by her boyfriend. She would often brag about how her boyfriend makes $50 an hour, and even her friends were starting to wonder how she can afford her lifestyle.

Not representing all men or knowing all Mexican American girls I don't think I'm qualified to answer that question. I don't subscribe to stereotypes as I believe we are all individuals so that is of no help either.

[Sixgunsound]

Thanks for MHO

[dolemite89]

i’ve dated mostly latina and mixed latina girls and have had mostly positive experiences, they can get feisty and a bit loca but so can every other race of girls 😂

[bowenw]

Sadly I don't know any in person. What little I know about them is from what I've seen on TV and in movies.

[ChicanaChick]

You mean like Salma Hayek or Jennifer Lopez?

[bowenw]

Yes.

[bamesjond0069]

Mexican girls are more attractive than not. Like if I was told you can date girl A... you know nothing of her race or culture or girl B who is a Mexican American girl... well I'd choose B

[Anonymous]

Most Mexican American women I've met have been very family oriented. There's only been few bad apples. So as a whole I'd say I have a pretty positive of the Latino women I've met.

[WhiteBoyChill]

I don’t have an opinion of them personally. I’ve had very limited contact with them, but they seem nice

[Guardian45]

My last girlfriend was American Latina, so I would say I like them.

[Billlewis]

If they're anything like you, I love them;)

[Stevefiveo]

I love those kind of women.

[NathanDavis]

that's about one third of my cousins, lol

[Pterodon]

Hottest on the planet

[nawtee_me]

I have no issues, would you like to go out?

[In_Trance]

Some like them, some don't

[JohnK123]
