Four Types of Bilingual Latinas in Medellín
There are four main types of bilingual latinas in Medellín. Keep in mind that Colombia has low bilingualism rates, and many Colombians avoid the language even if they speak it well.
1. The highly-educated high-society girl:
She was born in a bubble of comfort, living a first-world life, and attended private school and university. Many have studied abroad too.
Fluent or semi-fluent in English, she doesn’t need the language to find someone of her status — there are enough local guys pursuing her.
Not necessarily arrogant, but decidedly selective.
She's mostly uninterested in the average foreigner visiting the country unless they enter her social circle.
2. The Latina Tumblr girl:
She was exposed to too much internet and radical ideologies in her youth. Hyper-aware of world events, mostly woke, and often engages in virtue signaling. Known for their strong opinions, these women typically despise Gringos.
They are the ones that will screech “Gringos go Home”. Avoid.
3. The ‘Gringo Hunter’:
She has learned English through interactions with tourists or in some cheap language academy, resulting in subpar proficiency.
From a lower socioeconomic background. Avid user of the words “mor”, “papi”, and “bebe”.
Likes to frequent tourist spots to stalk her prey. Mostly naive drunk guys looking for a quick hookup. Might have nefarious reasons, or is looking for a way out of poverty with a passport.
Most scopolamine stories are attributed to this type.
4. The middle or upper-middle class girl:
Comfortable life but not too opulent. More balanced worldview, also good education.
Doesn’t ‘need’ someone to give her a green card or whatever. Has a career and a life here.
Some are interested in meeting foreigners to practice their English or even find a partner. Some don’t care about them at all.
Best match for local men too, so they also have options.
