Finding the right person is never an easy task.
Being the right guy, on the other hand, increases this difficulty three times or even four.
Say, you’re with a Latin woman who you believe is the right person for you. She’s sweet, caring and affectionate. You’re happy and content with your relationship. That’s great and all, but that’s just your side of the narrative.
Question here is, is she as satisfied and fulfilled with your relationship as you are?
You’ve stepped right into that part of every relationship, where “Am I doing the right things?” or “Am I really the one she’s looking for?” are the common questions.
Does anyone really understand what women want?
Do WOMEN really even know what they want?
Women are difficult to understand. How much more when you’re dating Latinas who speak Spanish – making them more difficult to understand.
They can get pretty complicated with their expectations, ambitions, and preferences. They’ll enjoy something one day and dislike it the next. Almost everybody thinks they’re difficult to read and much more difficult to please.
But if you’re the right person, which we hope you are – one who’s willing to change in order to find true love – don’t stress because we’ll help you figure out what your Latina may be expecting from you.
Let’s get back to the basics, because when things – well in this instance, women – get complicated, it’s a good idea to get back to the basics.
Where do women base or get their expectations for the perfect man?
The media? It is one of the sources.
Or their peers? Maybe.
In the end, the majority of their expectations and values are a reflection of their culture; what they grew up with and what they are most accustomed to.
In reality, men and women alike, we are all products of our culture and society.
How do you go about finding your ideal lady – those bases you make a mental list of? You may think those decisions are your own, but they may have been affected by societal messaging’s concept of an ideal woman.
You may have been shaped to believe that her job is to be a mother. So naturally, you start looking for women who can take good care of you and are gentle, responsible, and loving.
This is true for Latinas as well.
Men in Latin communities are raised on the ideals of the three Ms: money, muscles, and machismo, whether by nature, nurture, or both.
This ideal is instilled in Latinas from the start. They’re also surrounded by men who represent this, from their adoring grandfather to their strong and wise fathers, all of whom they admire.
It is not unreasonable to think that they would believe that this is how men should be – the prototypical real man and the ideal lover.
Before we get into these three M’s in greater depth, a disclaimer: there is no foolproof way to impress and know what a specific population wants as a whole.
These suggestions may work for some of you that are dating Latinas or may not be beneficial for you at all. So take these with a grain of salt.
For starters, here are a few things to keep in mind.
Latina women have grown up hearing that men are responsible for earning money and caring for their families, while they are responsible for homemaking.
Does that make them gold diggers or money-hungry women who come into your life to empty your wallet?
Certainly not.
Money does not imply that they choose only wealthy men; rather, it implies that they choose someone who at least has a decent living and sustains a family. They aren’t looking for wealth, but rather stability.
Men who are sweet, romantic, and kind but not financially secure do have a good chance with any Latina woman. However, if they wish to be in a long term relationship with one, they must find a way to have that stability in the future.
Having said that, it would be in your best interests to keep track and manage your finances well.
Before you join the closest gym or pick up your barbells, this does not imply that your woman wishes you to bulk up. It’s something entirely different.
We’re aware of how close Latin families are.
Latinas have been used to being protected by at least one male in their family from the time they were born until now. And you know how when you get used to something, like how your coffee is made or how your eggs are prepared, you instinctively want the next ones to be exactly the same as the previous ones?
Latinas think the same way.
When they’re with you, they want to feel safe and protected. Be ready to throw a decent punch at her assailants. Women may be tough on their own, but they want you to lead in relationships.
For those who don’t know, machismo is the sense of being “manly” in Latin culture, and it’s generally associated with chivalry.
This is why, when we think of a Latino or see him depicted in the media, he is this romantic gentleman who effortlessly makes women swoon. Because it is precisely how their society portrays them.
Any Latina woman, including yours, have spent their entire lives surrounded by these gentlemen. Now, that’s going to be a serious competition for you.
So, act like a gentleman because Latinas deserve to be taken care of.
Always, and we mean always, be romantic when it comes to your woman. This doesn’t mean you have to take her on a lavish getaway or to an expensive dinner every day. It just means you can pay attention to the little things to make her happy.
Send roses or chocolates to her. Give her a call to see how she’s doing. Hold her umbrella in the rain or help her in putting on her coat. Maybe even sharpen your language skills and learn Spanish.
When it comes to showing your affection, you don’t always have to go big and spend a lot of money; even simple gestures will make her happy.
