I am Brazilian-American, I have lived here in the USA for a long time and as much as I think some Colombian women may be attractive, they are big drama queens, possessive and jealous.
I could never have a relationship with someone like that because life is too short to be a daily episode of a telenovela. Too much drama.
well you just described most of latin-america to a "T" and you're Brazilian so you oughta knowas much! It's true latinas are beautiful ( I know because I am in love with an Argentine women that I married 7 years ago now ) and full of drama, but they also make "excellent" wives and mothers. Very nurturing and family orineted, socially conservative and traditional.
They do, however tend to get jealous and are very territorial of those they love, especially their children, husbands and family. But they are very affectionate and passionate. You'll never meet a more passionate woman than a woman from latin-america....it's true.
Latinas always dress "beautiful" and my wife outdresses me everytime. Even if they are just going to the Supermarket it's, tight jeans, high heels, hair is perfect, perfume make-up, huge hoop ear-rings....what more could a guy want. Latinas always go out in style!

The men are JUST as dramatic, especially Brazilian men. Sometimes I wonder, what did I get myself into? Lol
I am too Americanized for that drama crap and really don't have a lot of patience for it.

A lot of american men (gringos) are travelling to colombia for sex tourism. These type of men see colombian women as hookers. Me personally i feel colombian girls are very actractive but the women tend to be a bit golddiguerish [MOD CUT/English only]

Call me an American wannabe but I can't relate to this overdramatic culture either because I am very logical and rational.
I have never dated a Brazilian woman but what I often hear from American guys who married Brazilian women is that the wife's family interferes with all aspects of their relationship. I can't deal with that!
I lived with my American ex-girlfriend for 7 years and I don't remember her Mom ever expressing any opinion about me or our relationship, she never got involved in any problems we had, needless to say, I still have a very good relationship with her Mom.
Personally, I don't see any benefit in being irrationally dramatic

This is quite true, remember, it's a different culture and they have views on family and independence and marriage and raising children that are very different in many ways, similar in others. Even so, in the states many in-laws can be just as meddlesome. However, with latinos, in many familes, not all, they do take it to a higher level of manipulation, that is for sure! In many latino familes, the father is VERY passive and it's actually the mother who is revered and expects to be treated so. Many mothers here adopt an almost saintly "Virgin Mary" holier than though "Saint mommy" type controlling presence in the family. They manipulate and are very good especially at playing "the victim" so it's true. The mothers here are the ones in my opinion who wear the pants, especially in an Argentine family. And many are very cunning, excellent actors on stage all the way playing the victim while manipulating and pulling the strings of everyone around them.
We've had a few issues with my wifes parents, but for the most part they don't meddle. But, my wifes parents also lived in the US for some years back in the 60's
I think most Americans probably never met a Colombian? they would be a minority since there arent that many around, most Americans are more familiar with Mexicans

I understand the cultural differences between Latin America and USA, but there are also differences among Latin American countries. One of my ex-gf's is Colombian and when I dated her I really noticed the difference between Argentine and Colombian cultures as regards this. The average Colombian woman is more traditional, conservative, and family-oriented than the Argentine woman, even though though Argentine women are more-family oriented than US women.

I agree. My Argentine wife really is very traditionally conservative, she's the best wife and mom I could ever imagine having. However she is also a very independent women and has three different degrees working with children with learning disabilities. However many argentine women, especially the younger ones are becoming more and more like I would call an american or european women....except that they dress, look and are generally approximately 1000x more sexier...but that's for another thread.
Rural Argentine women remind me very much of Colombian women in many ways, as do Chilenas.
