It’s not uncommon for me to hear from my brazilian friends dating abroad “well, he(she) is cool, but you know, europeans, nothing like brazilians” in a condescending way (like it misses something, like it’s kinda cold). It may be my friends’ issues? Probably. But I want to know if you ever heard that too.
I’ve heard that in that tone about europeans (it doesn’t apply for Spain and Italy though), americans and canadians. Interestingly enough, I’ve heard that even about brazilians dating portuguese people.
I’ve never heard anything like this about Latin Americans. All Brazilians that I ever met that were dating Latin Americans never complained “but you know, it’s different” in a bad way, like when they talk about people from the Northern Hemisphere.
This post was inspired by latin americans being intense in love discussion. Feel free to drop your experiences and opinions!

“Nothing like a Brazilian” isn’t uncommon either. Classical!
Yeah, something like that. My cousin married a Mormon guy from Utah. One time I was talking to him, he mentioned how great it was to be married to a Mexican woman, because they “are nothing like the typical Mormon girl”.
I’m not particularly close to my cousin, but the comment ticked me off. Turns out, he meant for cooking. He’s a nice guy, from what I can tell, but my first reaction to that comment was not great.
Yes, specially from male friends that get envolved with foreing women. Brazilian Women also compare gringos with brazilian man in a condescending way, but thats less common
I feel women in my country tend to be more obsessed than men with the self-perceived rise of social status that comes from dating a white european. They like to flex them whenever they have the chance and use them as evidence of their own attractiveness. Men generally don’t care as much about a woman’s nationality as long as they find them pretty.
Ive lived it. I was in love with this American man but oh my god he was a loaf of bread with no salt. He for sure made me feel stability but no emotion, no adventure, nothing like that. Kinda sad 🙁
You mean individuals looking for/or having a token partner outside of Latin America?
Not in my family or friends group.
You should expand your circle of influence. This is ridiculous and you pay no detail to the sentiment they express when they say that. YOU decided it was condescending and ran with it. Maybe the problem here is your point of view.
