How are these kind of hispanic men viewed in the dating world?

[38669]

I'll try to keep it short. I know that "hispanic" covers a diverse array of people of all colors, shapes blablabla.

 

But the kind of guys i'm talking about in particular are those who appear more native, "mestizo" so to speak.

 

Now I know that the women in this group are more than often seen as very attractive to many guys, hispanic and non-hispanic. Think Selena, Eva Longoria, Eva Mendes etc.

 

However im not too sure that the darker hispanic guys are popular out in the dating world. At least as far as sexual appeal goes. Think Micheal Pena, Danny Trejo, Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite.

 

The reason i'm asking this is because lately i've been a bit insecure due to my personal first hand experience hearing from multiple people, men and women, both online and offline that "mexican" guys(I figure they mean who i'm referring to) are unattractive to put it mildly.

 

Which brings me to my final question.

 

Are we in general physically unattractive to many if not most women in this country?

 

Just give your honest answer and or opinion. Share the sentiments of your friends if you may. But don't sugarcoat.

 

I believe I already know the answer to this. I just need some confirmation so I can move on with my life already. Plus don't give me that "it doesn't matter how you look when you're in love" or "wait for the right one." That's why I'm asking in this dating forum

 

For whatever honest input you give, thanks in advance.

Why? You talk to women and see if they want to date you. What's the point in internet surveys?

Bolded ones are attractive. Because they are. It has nothing to do because of having an ethnic look.

 

 

All those others are not attractive. And it has nothing to do with them having an ethnic look.

 

 

Every racial and ethnic group has people that are attractive and unattractive.

Umm ... I for one think Hispanic men are very attractive. Have dated many of them. I wouldn't say Danny Trejo is attractive though, because he is a grizzled mf, lol.

 

This'll sound trite I'm sure, but there's someone for everyone out there. Okay, even if the majority of women don't find this, that, and the other attractive, someone out there will. Don't throw in the towel because it's hard.

Danny Trejo I found out is 71, so I guess his appeal may be to a slightly older age group..

I have a second date tomorrow night with a gentleman (I say that because he acts like one) who may fit the criteria of what you think you are talking about.

 

He is from Mexico and came to the states 10 years ago, "darker" in complexion, has an accent and I find him extremely attractive.

 

He has so many great attributes (personally and professionally) I am worried if I am "good enough" for him.

 

If women are stupid enough to pass on a guy like him because of his ethnicity, then their loss. Totally their loss...

 

It really is all about the person.

Given that of your examples of attractive "Mexican" women you included Eva Longoria (born in Texas) and Eva Mendes (born in Miami to two Cuban parents), I'm going to be generous with my examples of "Mexican" men who blow your theory out of the water:

 

Erik Estrada, Oscar De La Hoya, and Pitbull...equally as many equally "Mexican" men to refute your theory that while "Mexican" women can be found attractive, "Mexican" men can't be.

 

 

Must be something else going on, OP...best of luck to you in figuring out what it might be.

There are a lot of Hispanics in my area and I have dated several. I really don't care what ethnicity someone is though.

 

I have some really close male friends and some coworkers who are Hispanic. All of them have said to me it's been detrimental to their dating. They tell me a lot of women overlook them. That is their perception and several guys told me this.

 

I traveled with my male Mexican friend to Spain and asked the women there what they thought of Mexican guys. All of the women there told us they wouldn't date them and didn't like that accent. The women in Spain were hung up on Argentine men.

 

Having said that, one of my Mexican friends seems to do really well getting interest from attractive women he shouldn't be able to get as he's not attractive, old, fat, bald, underemployed, etc. For him he has a lot of confidence approaching women, can read people well, and just doesn't care about the outcome. So whatever the bias is it can be overcome.
