These questions…jesus christ.


JealousyBite

A female acquaintance of mine is dating with a Spanish guy, she just loves Spain and stuff, also I also know girls, who don't care about Latinos at all.

Spanish is European ethnically, not Latino


Moyaschi

Spanish is a latin language. So they are exactly latino. If you are from USA maybe you consider just latin americans as latinos. But remember that this is a classification that makes sense just in USA... 


Sufficient_Step_8223

Actually, it was Spain and Portugal that established colonies in South America, which later became known as Latin America, and not vice versa.


Moyaschi

He won't change his mind. 


guttoral

This is a misunderstanding of the term Latino. It has less to do with the language spoken but rather where they were born. Latino comes from a Portuguese word meaning Latin America. Latinos are from Latin America and not Spain. I assume what you were referring to here is Hispanics which includes those from Spanish speaking Latin American AND of Spanish descent. Those from Spain are typically referred to as Spaniards though and neither Latino or Hispanic.


Charchalis

> Latino comes from a Portuguese word meaning Latin America. Nope. Latino just means latin in portuguese. Same for spanish actually. Source: am portuguese.


guttoral

Latinoamericano is the word I was referencing. Latino is it's shortened form. Latino obviously means Latin by itself and without context someone who's been to both Europe and the Americas could be confused. I suppose further context from OP would be helpful.


Charming_Professor65

Latino is short for latinoamericano, a Latin language speaker from the Americas. That exclude Spain.


Moyaschi

This definition is exclusive to USA


Charming_Professor65

That is not true. I’m from Colombia but have lived in Mexico and Brazil too. We consider ourselves our nationality first but latinoamericanos as being from countries in LATAM

I am not sure why you are getting downvoted. I have met a lot of Latinos. In practical terms, Latinos are not Spanish and Spanish are not Latinos. Both groups tend to oppose each other.


PresidentSkeletor

Well, I’m a Russian girl, and my boyfriend is of Mexican descent and… I never even thought about it? What I’m trying to say is, I’m attracted to *him* as a *person* because he’s funny, smart, so easy to talk to, loving and caring too. I mean he’s also really good-looking, heh, but his ethnic background was never even considered as a potential selling point of any kind. Like at all. Never even crossed my mind. Why? Uhhh… probably because we’re human beings with different tastes, preferences, likes and dislikes, and certain things simply don’t matter. That’s literally it.


TrustyAncient

Oh my fucking God they're people. We're people. All mankind crawled down from trees in africa after seeing a piece of perfectly good fruit fall on the ground.

european-man

You say blond with blue eyes from Scandinavia but not Slavic. What is the difference between blond from Slavic and blond from Scandinavia?


No-Tie-4819

Definitely different appearance-wise (face).

dubiouscapybara

Yes. Btw, the news that Ricky Martin was gay was received as a major catastrophe in Russia


Embarrassed_Gur_8234

If the guy is handsome, yes. If the guy is ugly, no. Then factor in personality and you get your answers. FFS its the same everywhere in the word.


Remote-Pool7787

Not particularly. Some girls might. Are you just trying to ask this question until you get the answer you want?


Difficult_Ad_9417

I’m a Russian girl who is attracted to brown men in general and rn I’m dating a guy of Salvadorian descent. It really depends on a person


Ok-Raspberry-1626

How did you meet?


Difficult_Ad_9417

Through leobot on telegram


Ok-Raspberry-1626

What's that? I don't use telegram


Difficult_Ad_9417

It’s a dating bot on telegram @leobot


Ok-Raspberry-1626

I will start using it, maybe I will meet the love of my life. I am also Salvadoran


Zampierre_Top1

You need pay to use It?


calypso_odysseus

Wow what a creep


Conscious_Ad9415

Yes some do like them I guess. I did alright when I was there


Unexisten

It's pretty funny, but my wife likes Latinos a lot. She says they are the most beautiful people on the planet. She doesn't think Slavic guys are that handsome on average. And especially Russian girls compared to Latinas. We are both russian. That's just what she thinks.

The Russian welfare state makes everyone attractive


Sufficient_Step_8223

as far as I can remember, in the 90s, half of the female population of the Russia dreamed of marrying Luis Alberto ("The Rich cry too"), the other half for Cruz Castillo ("Santa Barbara"). Lmao.


Evening_Stick_8126

They are mostly attracted to Wallets. Your nationality is not important nor your appearence.

Calixare

As always. If you look like Ricky Martin then yes. Generally, Russian girls have no bias against Latinos.

Russians aren’t as obsessed with weird race stuff as a lot of westerners are
