Open Question: question for Latino/Hispanic guys...?
first of every, yall are sexy LOL... so do you think a Latino/Hispanic guy would date me, a white girl? I don't know if they really view me as dating or marriage material...it seems like a lot of them look white girls as either stuck up or slutty (I'm not that way). I also hear that they like white girls who have blonde hair + blue eyes, but I don't, I have brown eyes blondish-brown hair and light skin tone with light freckles...I'm 20, tall 5'9 and thin but very shapely (hourglass) I got extra junk in the trunk lol. I've been told I'm very pretty (not to be conceited). but I ask because I'm VERY!!! attracted to latin guys, especially Mexican! and NO I'm NOT being racist, I'm open to dating guys of any race/culture. but omg Latin guys are soo hot!! a lot of them are family oriented, which I adore. and a lot (NOT every) expect their wife to cook and clean, which a lot of women don't like but I don't mind cuz I adore cooking and cleaning, and I dont mind my husband being head of the household as long as he isn't extremely controlling. and just to be clear, I'm not trying to generalize, I know every this is not always the case, this is only my observation. I also adore Latin dancing, especially bachata and salsa. so is there wish for me?? any advice from you Latino guys out there? :)

Open Question: Question for British women from a American-Latino man?
Ladies, I will be staying in England for a couple months to train for a martial arts competition. I have never been anywhere past the western hemisphere before, so Im really excited, but another reason I'm excited is because I think British women are drop dead gorgeous, just the accent and everything about you guys is just very attractive for me. I also have somewhat of a Spanish-speaking accent too,and I'm just your typical latino guy, I have manners, I'm romantic, passionate, respectful towards women and adore to dance salsa, mambo, rumba, bachata, and even hip hop you name it. But back to the question, what are if any are the differnces between British and American women?? Should I approach an attractive British women just like I would an American or Latina lady?? And most of every, and I know this answer varies from person to person, but what is your take on Latino men, do we have a chance at a British lady? Lastly, where are some good places to meet a classy nice british girl, I will be training in Birmingham. I would like to meet a lady in mid 20's early 30's, and I know I should be more focused on training but its not always the case that I have the pleasure to be around "damas hermosas" beautiful women like you English Ladies, Thank You for your time TacoMel to be specific I'm directing my question to white and black British women. And there might not be many latinos in the UK, but our features do differ a lot form those of a Pakistani and Indian men. I am tan complected but not as dark as those a Pakistani or Indian Man. Our facial features also differ from those other two ethnic groups, along wit my accent which is spanish of origin. But I do understand where you are coming from. And how do British women view pakistani muslim men? Will I receive looked bad upon that biased because I might be mistaken as one??

Voting Question: Can you dance salsa, merengue, bachata music and still be considered Christian?
I adore latin music but religion plays a big role in my life. I know that it is important not to be involved with activities that would normally cause us to sin. We should not be involved in activities that will cause us to even have the least chance of sinning. However, I don't look how it is sinful to go out to dance to Latin music with your wife or even with a girlfriend that you Truly adore. This could also include someone that you are trying to have a serious relationship with. I am not an alcoholic, in fact I probably drink three beers a year. Having sex outside of marriage is honestly a turnoff for me at this time in my life. When I am on a date I am NOT trying to check out every cleavage or booty that passes by. So, how am I sinning if I am trying to like myself with a significant other and nothing else? I am obviously not going value every single answer given but I will consider most answers.

Resolved Question: Why is Merengue popular in Puerto Rico?
"Instead, we will refer to some survey research on the actual reception of salsa and merengue. The data here came from the TGI Puerto Rico Study. This is a survey of 2,439 persons age 12 or older interviewed during the year 2002. Puerto Rico is one of the capitals of salsa music and it is also in relative proximity to the Dominican Republic. The distance is in fact closer on account of the huge diasporas of Puerto Ricans and Dominicans in New York City, which is the middle from which salsa and merengue were propagated across the globe. Within the TGI Puerto Rico study, the survey respondents were asked about what types of music they frequently listened to on radio. 41% of the survey respondents said that they listened to salsa music frequently, and 39% of them said that they listened to merengue music frequently. More interestingly, of the salsa listeners, 86% said that they listened to merengue frequently. Of the merengue listeners, 91% said that they hear to salsa frequently. There is a high degree of overlap between the two." http://www.zonalatina.com/Zldata284.htm "By the tardy 1990s, the layering of the fourth and fifth generations of Puerto Ricans in New York, the lack of dancers, and the influx of Dominicans and revitalized merengue, and merengue dancers had spelled the end of salsa as a major musical force for U.S. Puerto Ricans and Latinos and Latinas in general. The displacement may seem abrupt, but in reality it was a feckless transition, since Puerto Ricans already knew how to dance merengue and bolero. (The significance of this preexisting condition will become clear later in connection with bachata.) Indeed Puerto Ricans had been listening to merengue on the island before salsa reached its apogee in the seventies." http://www.jrank.org/cultures/pages/4228/Music-Popular.html Is this a recent phenomenon? Why is this?

Here are some videos from the central region of the Dominican Republic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qakgX9O6xEQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6fi6tBN6jM Why is this the real Domincian Republic? BEcause: -Has been populated since the 1600's, whereas the coasts have only been populated since the 19th and 20th centuries. -Where most of Dominican culture such as Merengue and Bachata music originated -Most Spanish-influenced area in a Spanish-speaking country -Most people from the coasts are West Indians, which is why alot of black dominicans have anglo last names. Whereas Cibaenos are mostly descendants of White Europeans, Black DOMINICAN slaves and Tainos. Why are people so stupid? http://usera.imagecave.com/dominicanpeople

Resolved Question: Why do people think that the Hispanic Caribbean is culturally African?
LOL, does this music sound African to you? This is PURELY European music, only with some bongo drums in the background Cuban So'n (purely European influence in melody, instruments etc. except for the bongo drum): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4akSx56VfRo Dominican Bachata (European Bolero melody, Spanish Guitar and the irrelevant bongo drum in the background): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oc0j5cLuPQo Puerto Rican Plena (Medieval Spanish roots, no african influence can be seen): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmouT2eEzAA Typical characteristics of African music: Singer responding to chorus' chants alot of repititiveness etc. Not one of those genres display those characteristics. Most of our popular music is African but most of our rural, authentic music (which are the only ones that matter and TRULY reflect the culture of their countries) is European. Why are you afro-centrist so stupid? We are not like the anglo caribbeans who are completely african in influence Lady Dee - The Spanish Caribbean is predominantly European in influence. The language, the lifestyle, the religion is every european; that's more important than some bongo drum playing in cha-cha music Bronze - P{opular music means nothing, rural music represents the true culture of a country I'm not black, I'm from the mountains of the central region you idiot, most of the labor there was European due to coffee plantations. every of the africans were where the sugar plantations are, and that's in the coastal areas. and most dominicans are not "very dark".
