I read this , including the part where the girl said that her narco paid for breast implants....but specified (not her) how big they should be.

Maybe this has been covered before and we dont want to get too graphic, but can alnyone point out advantage of having a relationship with a woman with breast implants?

All I see are disadvantages....

Few people outside of the industry are aware of this, but this aspect of the drug business is a mirror image of the entertainment industry here in the states. On the West Coast, where the Italian and Jewish mafias moved into music and movies about 50 years ago, your average D-List bombshell survives by dating the real muscle (physically and financially) behind a huge portion of the entertainment business. In L.A. you'll run across so many gorgeous women that want to be famous, but the most beautiful usually end up getting passed around, hopping from "Camera Man Union Leaders" to "Writer's Guild Board Members" to "Studio Heads of Security" until their age starts to show a little. Then, they do porn (just kidding, not all of them end up doing porn). They're the ones at all the exclusive Hollywood parties that look better than half the famous actresses in the room. Most of them end up trading their dreams for a taste of living the lifestyle for a while, only to eventually be tossed to the side for a newer younger girl.

Dennis, believe it or not some guys are extremely attracted to fake breast. I know a guy that perfers them over real ones. He told me once, "It's like the difference between diamonds and cubic zirconias. A perfect diamond is rarer and more precious, but it's so much easier to find a flawless CZ." I never quite understood that, but that's what he told me. I'm personally not very fond of them and would prefer a flat women over one with perfect plasticos, but whatever floats your boat!!!!

For the purposes of this board - to understand Colombian women and the cultural differences between the US and Colombia, it is more interesting to dive into the issue of SES - socioeconomic status.

In the USA, a person that graduates from Harvard is of a higher "pedigree", for example. We would naturally assume that a dignified, professional differs from begin a gangster. In other words, surely a woman would rather be with a Dentist than a Narco ... right?

I did not see these unspoken biases play out the same way in Colombia. There is a reluctance to get close to narcos, but it is not based on social biases or morality - certainly one could argue the policia are just as bad as the narcos to the average Colombiano. There is a concern of the danger that comes with the narco territory, but that is all.

In other words, as long as you are successful - have money - you are a winner. It does not matter how or why. Education and true accomplishment are not as valued and respected in the Colombian culture.

Excellent points Rivardco. But I have to admit, I've always been amazed by the female tendency to lean towards men with immoral means of making a living (in the states at least). While there may be plenty of single Dentist, I've never ran across or heard of a gangster that didn't have a different girlfriend for every day of the week. Women like bad boys, and that's a known fact...worldwide. Especially good women, which is what turns a lot of good women bad. From my experience with the fairer sex, the excitement was always more important than the money. Black men with money and power pride themselves on having many beautiful women without having to give them anything. Listen to a rap song. Regardless, there's a line of groupies sitting backstage at every concert waiting to do whatever these guys want for as long as they're in town. The worse the guy's reputation, the more beautiful the groupies are. Fame plays a factor in that example, but I've seen the same thing from your everyday, run-of-the-mill criminal in the inner city. A very beautiful woman can easily have a dentist, a doctor or a lawyer. When one chooses a criminal, it's about more than money. It's about the infatuation with the excitement of her man doing what he does. Rich, handsome, good with words, great in bed....all of these male characteristics come second to the ability to excite a woman by being yourself.

The craziest thing is the hypocricy and the irony of all this. Most women say they want good men, but virtuous men are rarely chosen. When they are, it's hard for most women to be faithful...and that's usually because they're bored. This is 10X as worse with a young latina. If you don't dance (or at least try), blow her mind in bed, know how to make her melt with words, and be spontaneous; rest assured there's some Latino that lives a lot closer to her that can and will. What happens after that all depends on how good of a woman you have.

If I may ... "But I have to admit, I've always been amazed by the female tendency to lean towards men with immoral means of making a living (in the states at least)."

Women -especially Colomibian woman - seek a REAL (or) STRONG MAN.

The reasons for this go deep into the culture and genetics. Some STRONG MEN are not virtuous. Thus, women are not attracted to the non virtuous ( I think in most cases). Many Modern American men have become pussies. Most Colombian men are not assertive and subordinate themselves to social rank. Narcos are all rather bold ( and few live past the age of 33)

I dont buy very much of this.....or maybe Im just from another generation.

I think that poor beautiful and very young women from poor barrios get involved in the narco world.

Now granted, i dont meet them, much less date them!!!! And I rarely date anyone under 35 or 36. And almost every woman Iv emet in Colombia lives and works in and around Bogota.

I date straight, educated mature women who place their children, their parents, their education and their work, sometimes their religion as their priorities in life. The women are middle class, sometimes a tad higher. And in all the dates ive had with all the women Ive met, no one has ever told me they were interested in the narco life style!!!!

The interview narrowed the subject matter to younger, sexier women. Mot middle aged, successful mothers. I doubt the women in the interview where over the age of 29 .... I can count on one hand the ladies I met socially hat were over the age of 28
