Well, you just reeeeally narrowed your field there buddy (by your own standards) ‘cause I also remember this comment bellow coming from you (and I think it’s the one Shei is referring to)


-------------------------------------------------------------------


"What is with the latinos/latinas here in Toronto. Aside from a small few - did they all fall off the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down? Are there no university educated latinas?



I've been searching for a slim, pretty, university educated latina for years in toronto. I've come to the conclusion that there are none.

I've lived in Chile and Spain and I have travelled throughout central america and south america and I ve met and seen plenty of slim, pretty, and very educated latinas. Do none of them settle in Toronto? If there are any, where are they?"


----------------------------------------------------------------

Appearently you are loooking for a latina, must be pretty, must also be slim and god forbid she's not "university educated", and at the same time you conclude that there are none in Toronto. AND at the same time you conclude that you would have hard time with a non latina.


Well, good luck in your search!!!! you’ll need it


This comment is just a s narrow minded as your previous one

@Neruda:

I definately agree with you... there is just something different and special with being with someone who is of the same ethnic origin as oneself. There just seems to be a deeper connection, at least for me. It just flows so much better when you both understand the dynamics of the culture and language. For me, I love it when someone is able to communicate with my family in our mother tongue, without any akward moments due to a language barriers. It just seems to faciliate the relationship blossom when youre both on the same page.

Settling down with a latina- response to question on another post

You have posed a question that I have been pondering for years. I too am ready to settle down. My dream woman was always someone of a similar culture- that is latin american or even better-una chilena. However its never worked out. I had a long distance relationship with a girl from chile -met her down there. But she was unable to get a visa to stay here (grad student, family exiled to europe, father prominent lawyer and communist-all of which apparently made her bad risk for visa). That relationship, like all long distance relationships, eventually fizzled. I also had a very serious relationship with a beautiful columbian girl but her work transfered her to Miami (I almost moved there).


Anways, they have been my most profound realtionships because they were latinas. There something so sweet about being with someone of a similar background. To watch them talk with my mother in spanish, to be able to relate so easily without any explanations.  To dream of raising children who too will carrry a way of life, values, culture into the world. The idea of family vactions back to where our relatives reside is a nice thought too. It seems to be about keeping a sacred connection. Especially if you have large and great family in another country like I do in Chile.


So the idea of settling down with some who has a hard a time making that connection is difficult- but not impossible. My sister married a black Jamacian. And right now they are having a hard time because of cultural clashes. We have accepted and welcomed him to the family but  nevertheless many issues have risen between them. Marriage is tough sometimes - even under the best of circumstances. Throw in different cultures, language problems, conflicting priorities and you've really got your work cut out for you.  


Because most of my friends are not latinos and I don't even look latino - I've had a hard time meeting latinas in Toronto. I usually end up dating non-latinas. They've been great, but, the relationship never seems to go as deep as the ones I've had with latinas (see above). Latinas seem to reach a part of my heart, my psyche, that non-latinas can't penetrate.


 


Anyway just a few thoughts.
