How are the relationships between a gringo and a Colombian woman

I'm going to speak from my Colombian perspective, hoping it helps to understand a bit about the dating dynamics in Colombia. This isn't a complaint, it's just the truth. In my opinion, a foreigner in Colombia can be a simp and still succeed because all women and Colombian society assume that if someone is blonde and has blue eyes, they have money.

This is because Colombian society is naturally poor. People who have money earn $1,000 a month. But I've noticed that it's not just the women who think a foreigner is better than a Colombian man. Families think the same way.

A friend of my girlfriend from La Guajira is dating a gringo. The gringo took her to Cancún, and I had the chance to talk with her family, and they all said: "Ella coronó con ese man". Meaning she's very lucky to be with that gringo.

Even her university friends say the same: wow, she's dating a gringo, "Ella está coronada". That's a Colombian expression meaning she's fortunate.

So, in the eyes of Colombian society, if a woman is dating a foreigner, she's considered fortunate. I'm not saying this out of resentment; I'm stating the truth.

For us Colombians, the dating scene with Colombian women is a bit more challenging because there's more competition involving money. Or well, it's not that it's difficult, but we have to offer different things to women: fun, wild nights, laughter, dance, and even danger. Those are the skills we need to have because it's obvious that a woman will prefer a foreigner since all foreigners on average earn much more than an average Colombian. That's the truth.

I've seen some WhatsApp chats from some foreign friends, and they behave in a "simp" way (seem desperate for love), but the women don't reject them. On the contrary, I've witnessed them doing well like that. If I were to write those same chats, I'd be doomed. I'd be left on read, haha.

Another thing I've noticed is that status matters more in Colombia than in foreign societies. For example: here, as most of us are poor, to succeed in the dating scene, we have to show more luxury on Instagram. More cars, more trips, and more parties. This is naturally because being Colombian implicitly assumes we don't have money.

A gringo doesn't need to have a car because, in the eyes of society, family, and Colombian friends, a gringo has money, even if it doesn't seem like it. Even if they wear shorts and don't have a car.

In fact, I've seen how women in Colombia highly value having a car. A car gives status, and if it's an SUV and Toyota, even better. They demand that a man picks them up and takes them to the date location. But it's odd because I know foreign friends who literally pay for their Uber to their apartment, invite them for a pizza, have sex, and then send them back in an Uber to their house.
