I met my wife on an internet dating website as I'm sure many of you here have done. My wife is from Peru. When we were in the "just getting to know each other" stage I was unaware of a couple of things about Peru as well as South and Central America. One thing being how much women in those countries like American or English men. I can tell you from experience, when I'm there I get called chico guapo all the time, women selling things on the street tell my wife this every time I'm in Peru. Believe me I'm not trying to toot my horn here, I know I am not great looking, not horrible either, just average. But none the less this happens every time I visit Peru. This happens because of two reasons 1) In Peru and I imagine in other Latin American countries it's the same, everyone has tan skin and black hair, and I do mean EVERYBODY(unless you go to the really touristic areas). I went to a concert with my wife in Peru, we were on the second floor and I looked down at the crowd and I saw nothing but black hear. So when someone with white skin shows up its a change from what is the normal, then if the guy has blonde hair and blue eyes on top of that it's something so completely new for them and its an attraction. However this doesn't mean that Latin women will fall in love and want to merry any white man, but they are attracted them.

The second thing that makes Latin women seek out American or European men is because of the way that many Latin men treat women there. Many Latin men have the machista attitude, they feel that they are above the women. Many of them cheat on their wives or girlfriends and then think that the wife or girlfriend should be ok with it and just except it, here comes the crazy part, many of the women actually do accept it and will stay with the man. In the old days the women were forced to accept this because the "man pool" was limited to their immediate area, but now with technology it's nothing for someone from Peru to become friends with someone from the US. My wife's ex boyfriend treated her horribly, he cheated on her 2 times that she knows of and she still accepted him because that is what she was brought up to believe. Her father cheated on her mother more then once and yet her mother stayed with him.

On the flip side of this the men from the US and Europe have a reputation for being more kind and considerate, some are stay at home dads, many of us cook and clean and do the things that were deemed "women's work" by the Machista men.

I would just like to say that what I have written here in no way means that EVERY Latino man is like this, I have met men in Peru who are good family men and treat their wives/girlfriends well. I only wanted to explain how many of the men in Latin American are from the point of view of someone who has seen it first hand and from my wife who has lived with it most of her life.

These were also my chief observations. Things might be improving (slowly), but there's still a pervasive double standard in many of the south-of-us countries.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

Hell, yeah...

Unfortunately this is true, BUT... it´s not at the same time...

Every WOMAN (not girls, because in Brazil, girls look at American men as ugly and not that good on the bed lol - I used to be a girl in Brazil, so I can say that this are the toughts about american men) has a reason to choose or decide to be with a foreigner.

I know a bunch of younger women that they are extremely hot (not so intelligent sometimes lol), smart, wealthy and I realized that they are not in the mood to have a relationship with any guy, it doesn´t matter from where he is, only because they want to be free! They don´t want kids in the future, they want to build their career and travel arround the world. And if they want a relationship, they right over take the most beautiful, rich and intelligent guys. They don´t look for foreigners, and you know why?

Because, the extremely hot, girls who look for these foreigners, they have nothing to loose! They probably come from a poor family and they want to make a bigger step in their life´s, they can´t see themselves getting a better life with their own career. They don´t want to study, they want to simply get a better life without any kind of hardship and they are quite sure that their sex can be the best of the world. It makes me ashamed... I´m brazilian and I´m a woman :(

But there are the interesting cases: women who are sick and tired of the "latino way to be" from the locals, where if they cheat, they are more masculin than others (My case lol)... Women who are career driven and latino men don´t accept it (Meeeeeee lol)... Women who enjoy other cultures and know a lot about it, women who simply fall in love and it´s just a foreigner (lol), religious difficulty to find a partner (Meeee) and it includes tradition and family values, women who got tired to be the men slaves (latino men don´t help with anything... anything... they make their wife´s slaves)...

Well, there are enough reasons for us women look for a foreigner...

I just wanted to remind you guys about one thing: There are WOMEN and GIRLS... and there is a huge thing about how they deal with al of it.

(I´m sorry about how I described the Latin men, we can´t generalyze, but most of them still act like these... )

I´LL START TO LIVE BACK AGAIN WHEN I´LL BE ON MY HUBBY´S ARMS, FOREVER AND EVER. UNTIL THERE, I DON´T LIVE. I SURVIVE. (L)
