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.

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

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' !!

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’ 😂.

Ooh yes please!!
I'll take him!

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

Who would want to return if not faulty. 😁 A man worth keeping is something I can only dream of. Damaged goods, not what I asked for, doesn’t do what it said on the tin, all boxes I’ve had to tick. 😭

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. 😁

Thanks. I'll settle for good coffee. 😀

Korean men (the good looking ones) don’t seem to age. There must be something in the Kimchi. 😁

The Korean men recommended on here are far too shiny and beautiful. I like my nice rugged husband from Essex.

When you say you want a South American bloke via Amazon do you mean the region in South America or the online shopping site? Or both 😂

I wonder if Amazon ships to the Amazon? Maybe you can ask him when you meet him 😁

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!!

There’s a big female tourist sex industry in Cuba. Lots of older German ladies apparently. When I went there, I walked past a group touting for business ‘do you want a boyfriend?’ And one said ‘it’s free for you!’ 🤣🤣

I’ve gone off rugged men. I just don’t find them appealing anymore (due to bad experiences I guess). There’s something soothing in soft skin and warm brown eyes and the sort of visual perfection only a Korean ‘idol’ seems to possess. All pure fantasy of course, I’m sure some are douches, and some (but not all) are helped by cosmetic tweaks. But I do think visually I’d rather see a beautiful Korean face than any other.

You can do this. A Brazilian girl , friend of my daughters, with law degree imported a fellow country man who worship the ground she's on. He works hard any job just to be able to feel macho.

I hear he's fun, warm, adores family, tradition, kids, cooks and never moans ....

Swiftasthewind · 26/10/2025 12:01

I know this is a pretty common thing for white women but I have a big thing for men from Africa. I keep thinking about booking a flight to somewhere like Nigeria and seeing how many hookups I can go for in two weeks.

I probably wouldn’t tell anyone when I returned though! 😓

I’m going through a bit of a reggaeton phase

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

I learnt to dance reggaeton in Cuba 20 years ago dancing with the woman who ran the little night club (supposed to be for locals only).

The local men were proposing to European women in the street but it was all very good natured and not creepy.

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

Oh… well, in that case I’d like a house with a massive yard. But also walking distance to the train station. The house should come with a cat and a goldie. 🤣 but I wouldn’t say no to a poodle either. Great dogs!

Can't quite believe the racism in this thread. And it's mostly from the sort of people who go on about racism all the time

Use condoms and get yourself on an additional method of contracteption. And take PrEP.

Edit: Which is a good idea for anyone participating in potentially risky sexual activities such as one night stands / multiple one night stands.

is this preference really a “thing” ? (I have considered it more of a stereotype, tbh… or somehow connected to socio-economic factors.🤔)

InTheAcornHouse · 26/10/2025 12:29

YANBU. I’d quite like one myself! Or Caribbean. Their negative stereotypes in my opinion are outweighed by good ones, and still overall seems better than any British man I’ve had to deal with - including my husband !

I recall I read a study in a magazine back a few years back and they ranked men from all the countries in the world and British men came right at the bottom! My younger self was surprised but with age it has become absolutely clear that they weren’t wrong! One of the biggest unseen advantages of immigration is all the hunky foreign men that are instantly accessible and I just love it so much!

I honestly don't think there is any racism on this thread - I'd be first to say so if there was.

It seems to be a genuinely light-hearted view of men from around the world - not based on their race but on perceived stereotypes as to their behaviour. Lots of women are happily married to men from next door/overseas; or unhappily as the case may be!

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.)
