To want a South American husband

Bored of dating. Just thinking how great it would be to ship in or import some sort of instant husband like via Amazon. Obviously they would have to consent too lol. No terrible unrealistic expectations nor would they need to be anything other than reliable, friendly and a bit of a laugh.
I wouldn’t even care if he had affairs.
Who would you marry if you had the choice? I’m going through a bit of a reggaeton phase hence the fetishisation of Latino men, I know it’s appalling. But I also think they would make good husbands. Plus be good looking.

I live in Yorkshire and am friends with an Italian lady who moved here a couple of years ago.
She is horrified by the appearence of the local men, her first Summer when the shirts came off and there were white/red men (often with less than perfect bodies) walking around she messaged me in a panic to ask how long it would last

Luckily mine is very old and of a generation that would never take his top off in public. As an aside I don’t get the love for the pretty boys. I am old though. My Nan used to call those sort ‘good looking nowts’ 😂.

Apparently men in Sichuan, China do all the housework
The food would be great as well...

I love the 'if you don't do housework you don't get a girlfriend' !!

A horse. You just need a horse, or maybe a German Shepherd.

@PeonyPatch I didn’t used to particularly see the appeal of Korean men but my DD went through a K-pop phase, and spent a lot of time showing me videos and pics of her favourite K-pop artists. We went to Wembley to see BTS. A whole audience of girls aged approximately 12-18. Oh my word, the screaming!

By the end of DD’s K-pop era, I really started to see the appeal. Such handsome men! ❤️

Ha ha,me too!
Except DD has got me into Stray Kids and we are desperately hoping they come to the UK again soon so we can go and see them 🤣
I'm 49 for God's sake!!😂

After seeing Jinu from KPop Demon Hunters I've decided I want a Korean man 🤣🤣

Jinu is based on, and voiced by, Cha Eun Woo.

I think if you put all your requirements into a filter on 'Order A Man.com' it would most likely come back with 0 results which is unfortunate.

Oh I’m sure if I put them in they would bring me Kim Seok Jin 😁, the most ideal husband material I’ve ever seen. Famous in Korea (and globally) for his looks, kindness, humour, respectfulness and all round one of life’s good guys.

We have enough stray domestic men that are in desperate need of loving homes that we dont need to import rescues from other countries. Unfortunately, strays and rescues often come with a lot of behavioral problems so its best to try and find out as much of their history as possible before making a commitment. The safest bet is to adopt from a trusted breeder that has raised them responsibly.

So true 😄

Apologies, don’t want to derail the thread and take attention away from Latino men but for those with an eye for Korean gentlemen please feel free to pop to Ms Latté’s Daebak Cybercafè over in Telly Addicts, there will be an Oppa Advent Calendar soon ☺️
<y’all welcome >

Surely distant selling regs would apply -so presumably you would get 14 days to return with original packaging.

I sort of assume that there would have to be a hygiene seal like swimwear. If removed can only be returned if faulty.

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 26/10/2025 10:53

You’ve made me think of the late and multi-married Zsa Zsa Gabor’s comments on husbands,

‘Never marry a Latin man. If Spanish, he’ll be off at the bullfight and having other women. If Italian, he’ll be off at the opera and having other women. If Latin American, he’ll be off having a revolution - and having other women.’

She also said, ‘I’m a very good housekeeper. Whenever I get divorced, I keep the house.’ 😂

Could you recommend a good breeder? Asking for a friend.

VenusClapTrap · 26/10/2025 10:40

I had holiday flings in my youth with a Mexican and a Brazilian. Very handsome, very charming, oh those accents. Sigh.

A friend imported an Argentinian, and that has worked well; still happily married nearly two decades later. None of negative stereotypes and all of the positive ones, in his case.

Despite my early flirtations with Latin Americans, it was always going to be Northern Europe for me. Although that time a friend asked DH if he was my “cut price Morten Harket” still makes me 🫣

I'll visit, i'm in worcester. which one is it!

Francinis. The best coffee shop I have ever found.

Not sure if it'll be the place to find a south American man or not, but it's a wonderful place none the less. 😁

Cha Eun Woo is one of the most beautiful men alive imo. I first saw him in True Beauty and he made me swoon! No one has made me swoon in a long time 😂Also like Hwang In Yeop in that show. I think it’s also because they’re so protective over their women. I know I shouldn’t say it as an independent woman! But it’s romantic to watch.

Oh I agree. He is stunning! And Hwang In Yeop has such a unique face, I thought very feline and beautiful. I like beautiful men rather than rugged ones. It’s a taste that has significantly changed for me over the years.

MaggieBsBoat · 26/10/2025 10:37

oh I want to add though here that Mexicans (along with Koreans and Indonesians) are the friendliest and most wonderful people in the world.

I dated a couple of South American men (for a couple of years each). One slept with my best friend and was surprised I was angry about it and the other thought I was his servant. In fact the first one also thought that.
The sex was wonderful. The men very gorgeous. Their attitude was appalling. Do it for fun, but use contraception !!

I would like a Colombian or Venezuelan I think , maybe Mexican as I find their dialect easy to understand.

I have one of those nationalities and he really is a good one.

I was going to say a beautiful looking korean man too 😁 I watch too many kdramas lol and have just watched one with Cha Eun Woo. How can any other country compete with such beauty.
