Ticas in general considering a hot 20 something (non-hooker) will date a 40 something or even 50 something .... not many girls do this without there being some money involved. I mean, from what I've seen in CR normal ticas are mostly dating men their age, however involve some money and they'll line up to date you (not all of them but way way way more so than in the USA).

But even the above can be qualified even more - of course it depends on if the tica is educated, has K*ds, has a good job, has a good family... etc so it depends, but generally no matter the situation women in the USA seek men around the same age. Ticas and women in latin american are more attracted to the money from what I've seen and read.

IMHO;

The best of each culture ( Gringa VS Latina ), the gringas are far superior. I have yet to see a latina, who comes even close to say a USC, Cal, or Univeristy of Miami cheerleader.

At the same time, the AVERAGE latina is in much better shape, and much cuter then the average gringa. This is speaking for the 30 and under age group.

Once they hit about the age of 40, latina's stop caring about their appearence it seems. Maybe they never really cared that much? How into make-up and cosmetics would a place like CR be 15-20 years ago? Perhaps it just doenst make sense to them.

To me in Europe, Canada, and the United States its alot more about how your seen by the public. Big house, nice car, nice clothes; you have to have the full package.

In Southern Asia, Central/South America, its more about fulfilling your needs. Thats why alot of these girls dont care which guy they go with. As long as they get the money, pay the bills, and take care of their family then their happy.

Alot of gringa's are necessarily attracted to raw money because alot of them either have sufficient money, or they know they can grab a good looking young guy with a rich family. The odds are much better for them.

Look guys I am sure there are plenty of hot Gringas that are 30 to 40 but if I was looking for a keeper the oldest I would want since I am in my 40s is a 30 yr old at max. That is not that much of a stretch for a Latina. You have to think for me anyway how many years is she going to look like anything after marriage plus this age. Many get a heavy handed fork after marriage like many men.

The big thing that I have experienced in Latin Countries is you can meet Latinas at a much faster rate & cover more ground quicker with them than with a gringa. I am not talking p4p Latinas. Maybe this is just my luck or maybe there is something to this as I have more confidence there not fearing any rejection so I go for broke & take more chances since I do not feel the pressure from sexual harassment or other nasties the Gringas may pull it takes a lot of stress out of this game. Also the Latinas look up to us for the most part so they simply in general will pay more attention. Way too many Gringas when you say hi it is a wonderful day will look at you like the next Charles Manson well I do look a little like him.

Very often, the Latinas that you think are in their thirties and forties are likely to be much older than that (Mexicans being the exception). My Tica ex-GF (who I have known for many years) is 40 years old and has a teenage daughter. This forty-year old could easily pass for 22 and if she worked the Del Rey she would be a cien magnet.

There are hot gringas in their thirties and forties but as far as I am concerned they might as well have warts on their nose the size and shape of sweet potatoes and weigh 300 pounds. I am not going to lower myself to put my dick in a gringa ever again. I can spend endless hours laughing and enjoying the company of a Latina. I can usually not endure more than a few minutes time with your average Gringa. (Shrugs) To each his own, but given the choice between a 10 gringa and and a 5 latina I will take the latina every time.

Sorry, but I wasn't talking about ONE Tica that anyone could point out (the exception). Check out the personals sites for gringas in their 40s and then go to one of those foreign sites the host latinas in their 40s and you'll see a big difference.

I known gringas have an attitude problem so I wasn't referring to attitude either.... just looks.

And when I say "gringa" I really mean all women in the USA since from my review of women on yahoo personals and match.com I find that Asians, gringas, Latinas, Africans and all the others have very high expectations.

They look at me like I've got axe hidden behing my back and I'm wearing a hockey mask.


Xman

Why wouldn't they ? You're scary lookin' without the mask !!!!!!!!!

How about 70 y.o. ticas/gringas? Why are we limiting it to 40?

One would think it would be easy to meet 45 y.o. gringas, but do you really want to? I'd rather hang out on Southbeach where the 23 y.o. girls look right past me. I don't take it personally for two reasons; they looked right past me when I was 30; Colombia, Costa Rica, and Brazil are full of 23 y.o's who take middle-aged guys very seriously.

For me the problem isn't how old I am; it's all about how old they are. The American mystique, money, manners, and clean breath will hook you up with girls under 25 in Latin American, over and over again, no matter your age. Believe me, they value you, more than you think. It's so weird, the tables are turned, and we're the ones being sought. For money? Status? A better life? So what? My hot 26 y.o. Colombian amiga in Miami gets her ass all frosted over when we talk about this subject.

"Of course those young girls down there like you. You know why, right?", she says, half out of breath. "You should find a nice 45 y.o. woman. She'd be a better match. That's disgusting when you see a guy 30 years older." She cringes.

I explain ad nausem, that it doesn't MATTER what attracts them. JUST SO THEY'RE ATTRACTED!! And just so I don't have to go out with 45 y.o. women! But she'll never get it. Interesting, though, once at my place George Clooney came on the tube and she started making slurping sounds, and kept doing it. He's got to be 20 years older, easily (lol).

I admit there is a 44 y.o. professional Colombian woman I know in Cali. She's married but her husband lives with another woman during the week, and comes home to his wife on the weekends (lol), This woman has never had K*ds, plus she's a freak, more than any gringa I ever knew. And to top it off, she's one of nicest people I've ever known.

Go figure.

"...and if men didn't have this unquenchable desire to have sex with women, then they wouldn't have anything to do with women at all. I certainly wouldn't..."

When comparing looks, all women are attractive to a degree when they're 20 years younger than you.

I read a very dumb little pamphlet, sold through the back pages of some men's magazine. "How to Pick Up Young Girls." The book, aimed strictly at the over 50 American male, made a very strong case for guys in the 45-60 year-old range dating women of around 25 years. Younger than that, they're just plain dumb (age 18-20), too fickle and/or baby-minded (20-22) or too career-oriented (22-25). You can screw them all day long, but what happens when you want to actually talk? Older ones, regardless of nationality are laden with baggage. If a 40 year-old Latina has been treated badly by men, has hard familial obligations or whatever, it's going to show in her attitude and in her face and body, just as such a life will show on a gringa.

The only reason that 40 something gringas look better is that they can afford the facials, makeup, gym memberships and personal trainers, the right bras, good hairstyling and so on. Either Gringa or Latina carries the baggage of her life... as do all of us.

Here's the fundamental difference, and it is more mental/emotional than physical: As Jazz Musician so brilliantly pointed out in his post above, we are valued as men in Central and South America. Why? Well, to quote the Bud Dry beer commercial.... "Why ask why?" Knowing that we're valued by the "ideal" 25-28 year-olds, why go anywhere else for passion?

Certainly the young and terribly spoiled female products of the U.S. and Canada can't compete in terms of loving attitude with ticas. They are still spoiled Ch*ldren or have already been hardened against romance with an older man by social pressures and mass media. And just as certainly, the older women of North America can't hold a candle, attitude wise to the aging ladies of Costa Rica. As all looks fade, if you're looking for a companion, perhaps there's only a coin-toss difference between a gringa and a tica at 45, but at least the gringa speaks English.

Then again, how happy for us that we can have the best of both worlds. Hot loving 20-something Latinas in the bed, middle aged gringas for friends./companions closer to home.



BTW, don't discount any woman as a lover simply because of age or nationality. In my 48 years I have loved women 24 years my junior and as many as 24 my senior. I have loved chubby ones, grotesque ones, skinny ones, pretty ones and ones who made me glad to be blind. Each one has brought special gifts, skills and joy into bed with them; I am fortunate to have enjoyed all of them without having prejudged any of them based on any sort of arbitrary criteria.

Hey, and they're all beautiful with the lights off.

"Love is just a light switch away..." Maybe that should be my new tag line...

Happy I found a place where the tables are turned & have to agree who the hell cares why we get the attention we get but more important is we get what we want. Some men get real hung up on women chasing us for our money the only place this might mater is if you are looking for a keeper which many of us are not so...........

I guess when you look at the facts we trade the things we have to offer & to me it works very well like this & in someway maybe better than the motive of LOVE? If I was looking at all things being equal I would pick a younger woman than an old one for the simple fact many do not age well so you get more years of physical attraction which is really one of the big things they have to offer. To me women are not very good at solving many of our financial struggles in life but so many just compound these struggles. How ever they are we are programmed to need them & most are very good at loving & raising Ch*ldren along with home management.

In many ways I see many older women that have taken care of themself more attractive than the younger girl that has not but too easy to find the younger one in these Latin countries that do take care of themselves. YMMV.

I think alot of you guys must be blind if you think gringas age better than latinas. You are just plain wrong on this one.

I have lived in CR now for almost 2 years and I check out the Ticas everyday and I can tell you that the latinas take way better care of themselves than gringas. everything hair makeup clothes the whole 9 yards.

I see some gringas down here on vacation and it is funny seeing them waddling around wearing grungy clothes. Not feminine at all. Although I have seen some hot gringas but not many.

And I am always suprised when I find out a latinas age, almost always they look 10 years younger than they really are.

Latinas are way way way hotter and better looking than gringas and age better also.

Zman....you and I have different perspectives, because we've both been living here locally for a few years.

I see latinas over 30 every single day of the week that blow gringas out of the water. If any of the guys on this board actually left the gulch and went someplace, they would be stunned by the sheer numbers of beautiful women in this country.

Take for example Heredia. On any given day there are 1000s of women walking around shopping and running errands. Go take a drive around town and you'll end up in an accident or with a twisted neck trying to get your eyes on all the talent.

Hell, just going to work every day I see 100s of them while driving from Santa Ana through Belen to Cariari.

You could sit your ass down on a bench in any one of the big malls here, and I guarantee you will see 1000% more women, and better looking, than almost any place in the US. Multiplaza, San Pedro, Cariari, Cartago, etc.

I lived in California for 23 years, the land of the "Pretty People" and all of you can have those plastic dolls. They are self-centered, nasty, arrogant, and usually not too bright. In the US women are proud of being dumb and blond...in Costa Rica they are proud to be intelligent, resourceful, and beautiful.

So basically women in the USA are not intelligent and the women in Costa Rica are the smart ones? Statements like this might earn you a high 5 on this board, but in the real world women in the USA are more highly educated than, if not the entire world, most of the world. In the brains department, women in Costa Rica are the dumb ones considering most are willing to sell out to the highest bidder.

I wouldn't be afraid to bet a sizable amount that there is only 1 female doctor in SJ for every 50 in San Francisco.

Should I mention that women out number men in US universities today... dumb women I guess?

Don't get me wrong, I like Latinas very much... mostly because they are more "up for sale" than American women, but to insinuate that Costa Rican women are smarter than America women is insane.

How would anyone know the age of these latinas that are on the street? Taking a poll? Anyway, this is the good thing about the personals websites, the age is right there in black and white so a comparison is very easy to do. To be honest, a lot of the 40 year old gringas on Yahoo Personals and Match.com, if I saw them on the street I'd think that they were 10 years younger.

Gee guys, all this bitterness towards American women.... what did they do to you guys that they didn't do to me?

*

Ticobob I agree with you every time I go out I am amazed by the beauty of the women here. I always told people you will see more beautiful women in Costa Rica in one day than you will see in the US in a year. Every where I go every day. I love it . And the Ticas usually have the big smile on their face also.

d28 to each his own but I totally disagree with your outlook. What have latinas done to you?? They are the most sensual, beautiful women in the world. What more could a man want??

Like Ticobob said get out of the gulch and you will be amazed. I don't know if you live here or just have visited here a few times but I suspect the latter. And most latinas are not for sale outside the gulch.

And that hot gringa in the personals is in all probabilty a money grubbing bitch.
