5 MAJOR Challenges of Dating Colombian Women

Shapely bodies, tanned skin, and captivating features. If you’re looking for someone with these traits – a stunning beauty – then dating Colombian women is for you.

It seems that many people nowadays are interested in them. This is due to the fact that they are sweet, kind, and, above all, they are definitely some of the most attractive people in the world.

However, much like dating any other woman – or any other person in the world – dating them has its own set of pitfalls. They aren’t just sunshine and rainbows.

They are raised differently and have tastes and personalities that are different from yours. And as a result, you may have lots of struggles throughout the process.

So, if you’re thinking of dating a Colombian woman you’ve been eyeing on, or if you’re already in a relationship with one, be prepared for a roller coaster ride.

To help you, we’ve compiled a list of five challenges you can expect when dating her:

Family

Colombians are very devoted to their families. They like to do things for their families and make decisions with the best interests of their family in mind.

As a result, Colombian women will be insistent to spend some time with their families. Perhaps they would even spend money on their parents even though they do not need it. This is because they think they are responsible for their parents.

Aside from money, the majority of them choose to care for their parents until they are very old. In Colombia, retirement homes aren’t a thing because parents do not expect to be placed in one. They would rather stay at home and let their children look after them.

This is why if you’re dating a Colombian lady, you might as well say that you’re dating her family too. In fact, including the family in the relationship is one of the common Colombian dating norms, because you will be seeing and caring for them frequently.

So, if you’re not up for this added responsibility, you’re probably not ready for a Colombian woman.

But you will have a new family

Despite the fact that they may decrease her opportunities to spend some time with you, Colombian families are the sweetest, most attentive, and hospitable bunch. And spending a lot of time with them will make you feel like you’re with your own family.

They would treat you as though you were a member of their family. This implies that you will be prioritized, secured, and well-cared-for even before themselves.

We’re sure you’ll get used to (always) seeing them after a while. Perhaps you’ll even start looking for them when they’re not at home. Isn’t it wonderful how dating a Colombian is like having a new family?

Language

People claim nothing will go horribly wrong if only partners communicate. But what if communicating is, very simply, a difficult task?

Some Colombians can only speak Spanish. They can say a few English words and phrases, but they are hardly equipped to hold proper, full out English conversations.

Obviously, this is a challenge because misunderstandings can happen easily.

So, if you don’t make an attempt to learn the language, chances are the relationship is unlikely to expand and succeed as much as you would like it to.

The good news is that, thanks to globalization, English is gaining traction as a solid second language, especially among younger generations. But, in any case, it’s better to be prepared.

However, this can bring you closer together

With your partner at your side, learning a foreign language would be enjoyable and romantic. It will also allow you to spend more quality time together.

Plus, she’ll be incredibly happy if you learn her language or teach her yours. Perhaps you’ll get a sweet present in exchange, as well as a lot of brownie points from her.

This time together will reinforce your relationship, and you’ll thank your lack of multilingual capacity for getting you two closer together in the future.

Jealousy

Some common characteristics of a Colombian woman include being passionate and very loving. However, because of the way they freely and expressively assert their feelings, they can be feisty and jealous as well.

Colombian women, like all women, hate it when other women flirt with their man. And they’ll be especially annoyed if you flirt or make moves towards other women.

But, jealousy isn’t necessarily a bad thing

It can be healthy as long as it isn’t excessive, such as when she doesn’t want you meeting women, or speaking to any other females – friends or colleagues alike.

When she throws a fit if someone flirts with you, it may be a sign that she really cares for you. Jealousy will help you understand how much you matter to her and how painful it is for her to think about you with someone else.

It can also serve as a signal that her needs are not being fulfilled. As a result, you’ll be able to become a better man for her. In a relationship, a little jealousy can be good, as it helps to keep the fire alive.

Machista Upbringing

This is not to generalize all, but it might be accurate for others.

Colombian ladies are raised in a patriarchal society. They were taught that it was the man’s responsibility to provide everything for his family.

As a result, they might have a different set of values than other women. Some people say that they are materialistic and that they expect you to spend money on presents, in order for them to look nice.

Colombian women are fashionistas who enjoy dressing their best. And because of this they spend significantly more money on clothing and other material products. But, by the end of the day, they’re primarily interested in impressing you.

Humor

Colombia has a complex and quite violent history.

We’re not going to transport you back in time to teach you about history. But on the other hand, Colombians have learnt to deal with this by using sarcasm, jokes, and laughter at everything and everyone – maybe even including you.

Colombians are naturally light-hearted people who like a good laugh. But don’t take it too seriously. Agree, let go, and laugh with them if they make a joking joke about you.

But expect a happier life

As a result, having a long term relationship with a Colombian woman will undoubtedly make your life lighter and happier than it was previously.

Colombians and their positive personalities will motivate you to be optimistic as well.

As they say: laughter is the best medicine. Being in the company of a Colombian woman and a Colombian culture would undoubtedly brighten and color your life.
