Women in LATAM are also much more likely to get a boob job as teenagers (it was so common that until a law was passed preventing it, 30 percent of plastic surgeries in Colombia were on underage girls). LATAM cultures are in some ways more warm and welcoming, but in other ways more regressive/toxic, such as their gender roles and sexuality. Seems great to you because you're benefiting from it, but American women probably enjoy greater independence.

> but in other ways more regressive/toxic That's a bit unclear. Would you be ok to expand on that? :)

  Not OP but am half Mexican with many Latin family members. A big trend right now in Latin America is 'quiero toxico/a'(I want a toxic(person)) , they paste it all over their vehicles, clothing and whatnot. You will see women wearing shirts that say 'soy toxica'(I'm toxic). They literally want someone who hits them, gets jealous, all the bad stereotypes. Having lived that myself, I firmly believe it's because they have never actually been with someone like that. They think they want it till their car ends up destroyed, clothes on fire, or one/both in jail. I just cannot fathom willing that stuff into your life, but some people are what's known as 'addicted to chaos'.

    Heh Heh Heh, seems like a weird trend. Wonder what's led to that, and how that'll work out over time...? :)

    That's a strange trend to be mainstreamed, but not a strange sentiment at all, at least among women I've met. Most like to be spanked, manhandled, choked and dominated. One begged me to beat her up (I didn't). I've known many men who like "crazy" women too. She stabbed him with a butcher knife? Forever in love.
