I don't have to be Latino to be clued in on the cultural differences.  Latinos value "machismo" and more traditional gender roles.  At least your man was honest with you about it.\n\nThe last thing you should do is to take it personally and to fault yourself for his feelings.  You are not responsible for his feelings, as he is not responsible for yours.\n\nHe would be more compaible with someone he feels that he is more accomplished around.  He feels that you are more accomplished than him.\n\nMost guys who feel intimidated by their partner's success do bad things to try to elevate their ego, or "get back" at their partner in a passive-aggressive way.  These things they do are cheating, porn addiction, reducing women by stereotyping, objectifying, and reducing them.\n\nYour man was honest and has integrity.  Such a shame to lose one like that.  Maybe, if you want to work it out with him, you could figure out what it would take for him to feel equal to you.\n\nMaybe that would mean taking some online courses, some nght courses, or something that would certify him in a trade skill.  And if you were to get more involved, maybe it would mean selling your home and moving to one together.  A new home is not yours or his, but rather neutral territory that you get together.\n\nMaybe you could take some courses with him in something that interests him.  If he's into carpentry, then take shop classes with him.  If he's into motors, then take automotive courses with him.  Maybe if he saw that you were willing to try and possibly fail at something he could be good at, he would feel more machismo.\n\nSure, he is a Latino, but he is a man first.  All men want to be strong, admired, powerful, respected, appreciated, attractive, and saught after.  Some cultures value certain things more that others, like the ability to provide and protect.

I am puerto rican and I think is easier for us to fit in the states because PR is a US territory what makes our culture similar if not the same as in the states. The problem is that northamericans think we have a hispanic culture as Mexico and others central and South americans countries but we don't our culture is enriched with hispanic and american heritage. In NY as in many other states the biggest problem for PRicans is showing that not because we speak Spanish we are illegals or Mexicans...the problem is that have been put together with some cultures that are way to different than ours. We have the best of these two cultures...family first (latino) pride for our country (USA). wilmary69@yahoo.com

both races will eventually get over it. Give them a chance to get to know you. Those that are worth knowing will see through to the real you and not give a damn about the color of your skin. If they harrass you report it.

Events or examples? I know some people who are from the Dominican community and they hate the Guatemalan community. Or the Mexican community doesn't get along with the Puerto Ricans.Or the Bolivians fighting with the Colombians. All this is terribly stupid but it happens.

Illegal is the magic word here, latino isn't, I think that we should go after the people that hire them and pass laws that contain provision's for Jail time for them. That would take care of the problem.

I consider myself a very attractive latina women. I have noticed that alot of different types of men find me attractive. Recently I have noticed an increase in black and hispanic relationships. I think that it is a beautiful thing, to be able to date whoever you want. It has to do with love and respect not color.

well it depends...do they speak english?I mean alot of latinos only speak english (especially puerto ricans and cubans who have been in this country along time)But, I will say that usually latinos are good hearted across the board if they speak spanish and only minimal english,and you are trying to communicate with them in spanish.However don't be rude women are referred to as Dona ____ and men are referred to as Don ______ whatever their name is,and use Usted the polite form of you or tu.Offense is never taken -we are cordial and understanding peoples.

OK, I'm a native spanish speaker and here's my experience:\n\nWe admire the effort that non-spanish people do to communicate with us. Latin-americans are usually afraid to speak in English for the same reason... they don't have a nice accent. And most of the time they prefer to remain silent or ask someone else to speak for them. It's our culture. So when we hear a non-spanish speaker trying to communicate with us in spanish, even if their spanish isn't very good... we don't laugh!\n\nOK, that works for most of the people... but there would only be mean people... that's for sure!!!

Harder. \nTake it from a Hispanic with a college degree. For those who think we have it easier, don't make opinions until you've been in someone elses shoes.

Rubbermonkey - we are not living in the Stone Age any more. There are many civil and human ways of sorting out differences or getting your point forward. Develop good communication skills instead of fostering unhealthy and destructive ideas for expressing your disapproval or anger. It even works better coz violence and harshness only results in a similar rebound... and will work against your initial intention. With love and peace for you and your friends - God Bless - :)

If you are mixed why are you dark?\nI am cuban/black and speak spanish which shocks everyone because I am dark as if there are no dark cubans

You shouldn't generalize like that.  Just because your Latino man is like that doesn't mean they all are.  On the other hand, people of a Latin heritage tend to be more sensual by nature, so you may be reading more into it than it really is.

Try connecting with the Puerto Rican community........Try sending her to schools that have a MIXED cultural background...and promote ALL cultures.....The Library, the museum, festivals......in your area....try looking out for those sort of things......Good Luck......
