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'd take George Russell in his Gilded Age era. On the proviso he never ever shaved his beard. Or Frank Sinatra in his Ocean's 11 phase. I like the way he cocks his hat and twinkles his eyes at the broads (me).

Obviously both of them have massively troubling sidelines and behaviours as well, which would be a problem if this was in any way serious or real.

So for a good guy, I'll have Gregory Peck/Atticus Finch.

I think some sort of extendable leasing system might work. I have an Italian STBXH whose stereotypically bad qualities became apparent after 4 years or.so..Good fun until then.

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.

That’s because most of them have had plastic surgery.

It’s so common in SK for men and women to have facial surgery, pretty much everyone you see on tv has had something done.

@Westfacingbut Chile’s prime minister seems a beautiful, modern man. I think he’d probably put up with me playing Rage Against the Machine in the car, but would also help me with my Spanish grammar.
I’m partly thinking of this as a duo lingo substitute so I don’t have to put up with that awful owl anymore. Much better to learn with a beautiful man instead, but might be difficult to concentrate on the past participle.

Excellent thread. I did read sometime that Asian men are slightly smaller in that department but I'm not sure how this could be verified

So would the delivery be on a sale or return basis, or a trial rental that can be extended?

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

I wanted a few children and was happy to be a SAHM. I also like dogs and walking, don't mind roughing it a bit, so realised too late that I should have went in search of an Irish farmer. My granddad (not biological) was Italian, i'd have fitted in there, as well. My biological grandfather had to flee Canada, as a first nation person, so definately not Canada, unless I wanted to join my abused/exploited/murdered family members.

Societally Korea is quite conservative and very hierarchical (underpinned by Confucianism), as well as having an insanely competitive education and work culture. Highest number of suicides and also highest amount of cosmetic surgery in the world, I believe.

I don’t think it’s a great place to be a wife necessarily. Read Kim Jiyoung Born 1982 to get an idea.

I love the aesthetics of the actors/singers, definitely right up my street, don’t even mind the make up, but the actual day to day culture would do my head in. It’s just as well I don’t do relationships anymore because on a visual level no one is going to be able to compete against a beautiful looking Asian guy.

Sometimes I think an American would be good, a left wing outward looking one obviously. They just seem pretty good at talking about their feelings!

God no, even the Lefty ones are annoying

Doesn't do it for me, too clean and shiny looking.
I have a German, I do recommend it but not if you struggle to hear facts you would rather not

I’ll stick to the gorgeous Koreans in Kdramas and Kpop 😁 Never going to meet them, too old for them anyway so I’ll just sit back and enjoy the aesthetics 😁

I'm obsessed with Ireland right now, so a tall strong Irish man who would be obsessed with me is what i'd order 🤤

What fresh modern hell is this and should I have FOMO or JOMO over it?

You should have JOMO. Reggaeton is a type of terrible cheesy latino music that refuses to die 😂😂

I'd like a Canadian farmer on a 6 week trial please.

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

yes but surely you want them to speak English to benefit from the sexy accent?

Adooree · 26/10/2025 08:57

I've had two husband's thus far ( still with 2nd ) tbh wouldn't be going in for a number 3 ! 😂

There are dreadful men in every culture. Renting one to go dancing with or for a night out might be fun. More like a prime kindle book rather than as escort (as a business model, maybe not).

I can’t see the appeal of Korean men personally, not sure… I see them as very effeminate personally. When you say societal flaws what do you mean?

I have a few family members who have really gotten into Korean movies and cartoons

I have a LA (Brazilian) husband. He is wonderful and definitely one of the good ones 😊
The stereotypes are that they are are jealous, controlling, hot blooded and always horny, but treat their women well often love-bombing them.
unfortunately in my experience (living in SA for many years) I have seen a lot of truths to the stereotypes.
They are also however very funny, caring, complementing, romantic.

Yes! I’d love a poodle

@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! ❤️
