Gustavo Arellano October 30, AM. I am married, a conservative dresser, frankly not very good-looking at all but I do have blond hair, so maybe that counts for something on a guy's internal whore-o-meter , but I speak karate-choppin'-good Spanish.
In fact, that's my job: I interpret for Spanish speakers when they go to the doctor's office. So then why, when I interpret for a Mexican man, does he seem culturally required at some point to say something gross to me?
He had a series of doctor's appointments wherein he got poked and prodded, and his sexual dysfunction was discussed ad infinitum with me as the intermediary I think this might have something to do with it. As we were waiting outside the last doctor's office, he blushed and whispered to me, "I wanna ask you a question, but I'm embarrassed. Table dancing. Is it possible that he has lived in this country for seven years and really thinks that we are all secretly strippers who like to dance on tables?
I understood this bullshit when I lived in Latin America, since Bikini Car Wash -esque stuff plays constantly on broadcast TV, but the man has been in this country for seven years.
How can he think something so asinine at this point? What, pray tell, am I missing here? Dear Gabacha: Wait — so not all white women are strippers?
Wow, you learn new cosas every day! Tradition is stronger than anything and it has helped us preserve some interesting habits. Women also tend to have an overstock on red and yellow panties that reflect their wishes for true love or money for the New Year depending on the current necessity.
And there are some others who buy an image or figurine of Saint Anthony of Padua, put him on an altar with some candles, and place it upside down until the day the miracle happens and they find true love. As a matter of fact, Mexican men and women develop a strong attachment to their mothers and families, but the relationship is quite different for sons and daughters.
The relationship between mother and daughter transitions between absolute love and absolute hate with relative ease. Think about them as best friends who occasionally have little misunderstandings…scary and dramatic misunderstandings. Something between discrete and moderate suits most, but downright clownish style is a common sight during morning commutes. What these women do share in common are their advanced skills in everything makeup.
From the masterful use of a teaspoon for eyelash curling to the amazing ability to draw a perfect eyeliner line during a bumpy bus ride, Mexican women know makeup. Mexican women are the best when it comes to home remedies: honey lemon tea or mullein for a cold, chamomile to ease up stomach pain and help you sleep, valerian to calm your nerves, and some aloe for anything else. Nothing withstands the power of teas and herbal infusions. They are also familiar with every possible kind of weight-reduction plan.
Under normal circumstances, they tend to be the most loving, caring, and affectionate women in the whole world. Anyone who has or has had a Mexican girlfriend knows that their displays of affection can be stifling, which is actually good.
Mexican girls have every attribute anyone would want…until they get mad at you, of course. Passion is just another way of saying quick tempered.
If Mexican women could be defined in one word, that word would be cheerful. They are friendly, outgoing, loud, and always in the mood for some good fun. Girls in Mexico will dance the night away given the opportunity and opportunities abound!
