WHAT YOU SAY

[This page is closed to new input. --Ed.]

I am Filipino and my boyfriend of nearly a year is Mexican. Coincidentally, my sister has been married to a Mexican for nearly 8 years. We did not seek to date or fall in love with Latin men. I was always open to dating guys from different cultural and religious backgrounds, and I just happened to be lucky enough to meet a nice guy who respects me and is loved by my family. He is goal-oriented, affectionate, smart, and generous. Frankly, I could care less what his ethnic origin is. Most of the time we don't even realize that we're of different races because its not an issue. The only issue is that we respect one another, care deeply for each other, and respect one another.

Frankly, it isn't right to generalize Latino men as "players". From my experience, players are found in every race at every socioeconomic level. Its all about the individual.

So, just so I can understand, you're saying non-Latino guys don't avoid you, but Latino guys do?

>Do us girls look "approachable?"

My guess is, if you really want to talk to some of these guys, you might just want to risk starting a conversation one of these days. Or just do one of the dumb things girls do when they want a guys attention-- like asking them for the time when they can clearly see you have a watch on. I think it's flattering. ;-)

>looking, but I know guys look deeper

Depends... when you don't know someone, you don't have much else to guide you. :-p

First, let me say that if you're going to make decisions based on what you've heard on the grapevine, you are going to miss out on many great things that life has to offer. It can be so liberating to follow your own instincts.

Like LatinoMan said, this "Latino" player thing is nothing but a stereotype. Some of us may be more friendly than others, but it doesn't mean we're "players".

Also, to me, your post smacks of selfishness. The way I see it is that I'm young, and I want to enjoy my life; it belongs to me and not to anyone else. If you want someone that you can control, then yes, I'd say stay away from guys like me. :-)

Notty Boy,

"Serously, though, do Black, White, and Asian guys also avoid you? What are the Latino guys like in your school? How do they spend their time? Do you girls look approachable, or do you have bitchy faces on you all the time? Etc, etc. :-p"

To answer your question, I wouldn't say they "avoid" us, but if it's strangers, we don't usually talk unless we have a class together. Do us girls look "approachable?" Well, that depends on your definition. I am a very nice and helpful person, and I smile often, and my Latina friend is very talkative, so I guess the answer is "yes." I think both of us are pretty decent-looking, but I know guys look deeper than that. Or do they? =)

Don't want no player,

This is a well known stereotype which I believe is not true. Culturally, our approaches to dating and getting to know someone may differ, but in the end I trust your judgement of whether you should or not have a casual or serious relationship.

Being a player is not something Latino men do well as they bluntly show their masculine virtues. In the other hand, I've noticed that many non-Latinos perform this game with a lot more success by being more subtle and quiet about it...you'd be surprise
