Most of the time Latina's here are not into transient white men compared to Asian and black women unless she has a college education and or has head on her shoulder.
There are many Latinas into white guys, and not just ones who are college educated

I'm a white guy in Long Island and most of my white friends have been with at least one Latina, myself included

The observation has probably more to do with the fact that you have to be a man and lead. White women and Asian women are a bit more tolerating of typical american beta male fearful apologetic behavior, especially when they are trying to find a safe stable husband to settle down with. If you lack any bit of confidence most Spanish women will smell it right away and shut you down.

You are generalizing and stereo typing, big time!!!!!!!

Latinas like the rest of the general population, are vastly different from one another!!!!!!!!
Like beautiful flowers, no two are alike!

Really sickening to read in this day and age: "Latinas are this, Latinas are that"
I say %$^^()*&$# to that!

An enlightened, intelligent guy knows better than that, and thus in turn, does well because of it!

As a Puerto Rican, I'll agree with this.

Most of the latinas in my family are nurses, teachers, lawyers, social workers, and other business professionals. One of my cousins is even a nun. I'm in accounting.

The OP and his friends want to meet latinas, but I'm wondering why.

"Latino/a" is actually a meaningless term.

We should stop using it.

I'm sure there are plenty of beta white males with Latinas.

Like LatinaProf said though, Latinas vary widely just like the women of any other ethnic group

It simply means someone with heritage in Latin America, it's not meaningless

and "Latin America" is dozens of unrelated countries with many different people of diverse origins.

...it effectively means nothing.

They're not exactly unrelated, all of those countries, except for Brazil, are former colonies of Spain and Spanish speaking.

Would you rather he asked "where can I meet mestiza women"?

Lots of people are from former British colonies that are english-speaking; are they all part of the same ethnic group?

I don't know. But at least then you would have some idea of what he was talking about.

Calling someone "Latina" could literally mean any kind of person you can imagine since it does not describe a specific nationality, culture, race or even language.

So-called Latinos often complain about stereotypes, but the underlying problem is that only a ridiculous stereotype or generalization could relate them because they don't actually have anything in common in the first place.

Although there are a lot of differences between Latin American nations, it's a bit of a stretch saying they have nothing in common...
