To want a South American husband

Lostthebubblewand · 25/10/2025 21:10

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.

So a cheat. You don’t care about yourself much do you.

I think you may be taking this a bit more seriously than OP is.

I think how great it would be to have a standard poodle. We can all dream.

I’ve reported your nasty little comment. Behaviour like this ruins MN.
What joy do you get from being horrible?

Lostthebubblewand · 26/10/2025 07:30

@Aintgointogoawhich one? What sort of behaviour are you seeing?

Hm, Scottish? Welsh? American? Canadian? Not too fussed, as long as they aren't a twat. I've got kids, a good job, a house and I'm quite independent. Nobody, who wants to sponge off me and just naps on the sofa all day, or whinges constantly about everyone else being mean to them.
No cheating, though. Ex had an affair and it's an absolute deal breaker.

They are hard to come by round here, though. We live in Europe, and despite working in quite an international environment, most of my male colleagues are either married or much younger. Mostly I'm too busy to go out and meet guys.

I wonder if mail order husbands exist like mail order brides do…🧐 I’m aware my language is very not PC. But there are marriage agencies for men looking for beautiful young women from developing countries who’ll do exactly what they say..(which is extremely fucked up imo and not something I agree with)….i just wonder if the same exists for women looking for men 🤷‍♀️

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

Canadian 😍

I used to live in a very wealthy Caribbean country and we had a few boat loads of refugees from Cuba turn up.

It was so funny, and a standing joke that middle aged single women were flocking to the refugee camp with cakes and casseroles to find themselves a Cuban husband.

There was very little shame or embarrassment involved. And to be fair, a lot of the (mostly young) men were very attractive!

If you think about it OP, men have been doing this for decades. I used to work with two blokes who “bought” Thai brides on the internet. Maybe you should take your idea to Dragons Den? Good luck!!

You can borrow the one currently taking up 85% of my bed if you want, to test drive?

Lol Reggaton is a music genre like Spanish reggae I guess. People also sometimes forget that Puerto Rico is a Carribbean island as is Cuba.

Yes, they are Caribbean. But I associate Reggaeton with Jamaica? I didn’t realise there was Spanish reggae…

I’m in a K-drama phase and there are certainly a lot of beautiful Korean men out there and my god they age well. However, I feel there may be some societal flaws going on that could be a bit of a problem… 🤣.

Thats my completely un-PC, totally sweeping, completely objectifying input.

(Back in my youth it was all Scandinavian men that everyone lusted over.)

Hoppinggreen · 26/10/2025 08:27

I have 2 friends with LA husbands (Brazil and Argentina), believe me you do not want one

When I was in Gambia I noticed quite a few older white British ladies with much younger Gambian men, when we were out at dinner and so on. Chatting to people in the resort apparently it’s a well known place for that! So I can recommend Gambia.

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.

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

Ah...objectifying men = ✅️ How nice. Such fun. Not that serious.

Objectifying women = ❌️‼️

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