Jeeze I dissappear from the board for six months (maybe more) and another one of these threads pop up and I just have to respond to the whole thread. Being from Latin America, having lived in Latin America, speaking the language and sharing lots of time with friends that still live in TJ, Sonora, el DF, Guatemala, Chiapas, and many more. I repeat my quote from a previous thread "how can real love start backwards? It sounds quite possibly that you had excellent chemistry with that one girl and yes it can happen it has happened to me. And yes I have even gone out and enjoyed myself with them (they are women after all) Plus for some people that are latin they would understand speaking the language knowing the culture and actually being educated can really go far in any country in Latin America with the people. Yes some Mexican women like Gringos but I'll tell you what depending on where you meet them and obviously their own preference alot of them tend to like what they would consider a good looking, successfull, educated man from their own culture or similar thats what many especially when as was mentioned here when your getting to the middle or upper class women from Mexico will prefer as that is what their family will prefer and that is huge. Put it this way spending time with some really good families en el DF they will respect you for yes what you do (profession) hence how an engineer is called ingeniero, judge (juez), business man (licenciado), and also the kind of family you come from is taken into consideration and mainly also the conduct that you have as a person. Even for a regular friend I have their to make her family feel confortable I met them for dinner at her house and obviously respected their boundries and they really liked the fact that while I am from the USA I am of their culture and we're just friends. Allot of bar girls have had bad experiences with men, single moms, issues with families dont take that for the norm of the rich Mexican culture you have barely touched the surface Tijuana is but a grain of sand in Mexico and trust me the genetic pool is not lacking and is rather rich, some of the women I met in Mexico City for example are drop dead gorgeous and I agree and will stand by what I believe that when I settle down a Mexican woman from Mexico will be what I look for. How can you meet them well what you are looking for it seems is nothing serious just a stable lets meet, go out and screw in that case stick to the bars. If you would really want something real its like anything be authentic, spend time in getting to know them, be a gentlemen, treat them like a dama, meet the family and most of all be respectful. Places can be anywhere but again it seems like you want to use the gringo status card as a means and that will not work if anything it will typically go against you (they hate that). Especially if you feel you are doing their genetic gene pool a favor I mean come on I know you mean well but how little you know of Latin America there are plenty with Spanish (white) descent to go around.
