Your phrasing was bad then. Learning a second (or more) language to not be just another dumbass American and get exposed to other cultures is cool. Doing so specifically to get laid like your first post made it seem is too calculated, that comes off as creepy
Learn another language to become more cultured, and as a byproduct you will likely open up your dating pool more and have more opportunities in your romantic but also professional and social lives as a whole.
I used Latina because like I said I think the average straight male probably finds Latin women attractive unless they’re on some racist s***, even if they’re not the top preference, but the point kind of stands for most non-Americanized cultures I feel like. More potential for Better quality relationships whether serious or casual due to cultural difference (differences in values, etc)
Also I made my post generalized to men because thats the general user base on this site lbr, but this would work for women too. Why deal with frigid Americanized John or Jane if you can learn a new language and meet someone else without that same cultural perspective?
Yeah no I wasn’t talking s***tourism, more like meeting someone who is in the US but more involved in their own culture still compared to someone who is like fully Americanized.
I don’t f*** with certain aspects of American culture, s*** is white washed, cold, individualistic to the point of people being so focused on their own bubble that other people can b seen as disposable or lesser if they don’t show certain status markers to make an imprint in some peoples perception.
I feel like a lot of these things come from modernization in general so those kinds of factors can be at play in many countries or societies but personally I would much rather date someone who comes from a more family oriented, warm, down to earth culture. Less superficiality, you have more potential value to someone because you are being assessed more as a person than you are based on American capitalistic status indicators. Culture affects how people operate. And the difference between cultures is stark.
There is a certain vibe I get when I’m talking to people who are from or more immersed in African cultures, Latin cultures, Caribbean cultures and some middle eastern or Asian cultures that I just don’t get from more Americanized people. I don’t know how to describe it but it is felt. Especially when it comes to dating.
It’s not as simple as someone from a poorer socioeconomically culture being a better fit because they’re “closer” with family, that can be true but sometimes can be a result of manipulation or be forced, it’s too simplistic to just say it’s better
Capitalism in the West prescribes individualism, but I have family I’m visiting in southeastern Europe where the countries have similar GDPs to some Latin countries (less than half than some of them), they’re very family oriented but very bigoted, here it might be about race or gender, in Latin America it might be homophobia or misogyny, it’s all learned behaviour that gains more ground from conservative influence from the West
It’s not their fault they’ve fallen to these bigoted beliefs but I personally want someone with the same value system and I could only find that among progressive people financially and socially
All that said connecting with people of all cultures is a great thing and helps us all and enriches our lives, but it’s not a quick fix for a relationship
Always wanted to go to Trinidad, thats dope g. Wby whats your background?

Keep your foul degenerate ass tf out my motherland
Tons of people are confident being a loser or just not making progress in different areas of their life. Some people have different standards of living but I still think complacency is something to look down on. That doesn’t discount the value of good people though. I value good people over ambitious people but theres no reason someone with good character can’t also be actively working on themselves over a matter of years. Everyone’s situation is different but in general, people are comfortable being losers and will hate on you because you’re working to better your life/other peoples lives because it makes them aware of their lack of progress or action which they don’t like. But instead of making a new plan of action, they just other-ify you and say you’re a hater or you’re arrogant or some other dismissive s*** to keep from holding themselves accountable.
When you’re that comfortable confident winner that know how to satisfy themself without needing others to fulfill that need, people resent you because they can’t control you.
No one is perfect and I say this as someone who has made mistakes and grown from them, I am still working on myself. But some people don’t care about working on themselves at all, even with support. Some people have been through too much s*** but other people have built their identity around their complacency.
Narcissistic way to put it lmao, but I low key feel this too tho.
You gotta remember to keep it humble tho

I mean, do you disagree lol? Like some people propagate that “crazy latina” stereotype but I haven’t actually encountered that that often. I am mixed Afro-Latino.
