Marrying A Colombian Woman? Here Are Four Things To Watch Out For!

Dating and marrying foreign women is all the rage nowadays. Chalk it up to the high divorce rates in North America or maybe just a massive change in romantic interests, but Western men are trailing their eyes overseas in the hope of finding the perfect bride. We all know, however, that perfection does not exist. Colombian women might seem perfect (and in many ways, they outshine all other women on earth), but trust me, they have their strange side as well. Four to be exact.

Before you plan on dating a Colombian girl, you might want to be aware of these facts:

The Gringo Effect – a white man is like an exotic creature in Colombia, and almost all of their women want a piece of the action the moment they see your porcelain skin. This might sound like good news (and it is), but it also makes you a prime target of gold diggers. Many Colombians are looking for a better life, and if you’re from the West, then that means that you’re their green card out of poverty, love be damned. Obviously, the only way out of this is to date Colombians who come from stable backgrounds and are looking for a long-term relationship, but it’s hard to separate the wheat from the chaff, especially when dealing with particularly attractive Latinas. Many men have been burned because they assumed that the hottest Colombian babe drinking at a nightclub always has their best interests at heart. Sadly, it’s usually the hottest babe who want to ruin you, so just be warned. As they say: with great power comes great responsibility!

Jealousy – unlike gold digging which only infects a minority of the population, jealousy seems to be a trait universally shared by Colombian women, and they take it to a whole new level. Maybe it’s part of their genes, but once you get into a relationship with a Colombian, be prepared for angry looks and accusations if you even so much as glance at another passing beauty. On the flipside, this is a highly endearing trait that tells you how much she adores you. Her outrageous possessiveness can get pretty annoying, though, especially when she starts reading your text messages, so while a little jealousy is healthy, make sure to draw strict boundaries later on.

Large families – unlike other nationalities, Colombian families are pretty friendly and approachable, so don’t be nervous about meeting mom and dad. And grandma and grandpa. And aunt and uncle. And all the ten cousins twice removed. It can get tiring to make friends with your soon-to-be relatives but try to put your best foot forward and you’ll be rewarded with a highly-energetic and tightly-knit social circle. Also, Colombian dads tend to want solid and dependable (i.e., old-fashioned) men for their daughters, so make sure that you have a stable job and a masculine frame to earn his approval. A starving artist wearing board shorts and flip-flops might be cool in the Midwest, but it will net you nothing but scorn in traditional Colombia.

Dancing – it’s a requirement. Seriously. There’s no need to be Ricky Martin with your shirt unbuttoned, but you need to be able to at least keep time with the beat. Sitting down while the music is on is the biggest turn off for a Colombian woman, so if you're a wallflower, then you won’t make it. You have been warned.

There you have it. If you can handle these four cultural quirks, then you can reap the bountiful rewards. Colombian women are some of the most vivacious and loyal women on the planet, with the brains, heart, and motherly instinct all (i.e., old-fashioned) men for their daughters, so make sure that you have a stable job and a masculine frame to earn his approval.

It’s definitely worth going through hell and high water just to fall in love with one.
