Would I ever admit to being such a pig as to have been drawn to this country on account of its women?
Well if I did, I certainly wouldn’t be alone.
But no, for me it wasn’t that….really! It was “strictly business.”
But what does become apparent after a while, if you’re a man with a pulse, is that there really are a lot of very beautiful women here. And that’s especially true in my current hometown of San Isidro de El General (or Perez Zeledon, as it is usually referred).
There’s just something about the Latina in general, and the tica in particular, that makes them stand out. Certainly there is no argument about the outward appearance, but there is more to it than that.
Characteristics like attitude and style come into play and, when combined with the outward beauty, make the tica irresistibly attractive.
They are tough and that toughness is also beautiful. Probably because many live under conditions that the women of the north have not ever experienced. The “toughness” I speak of is not limited only to being able to weather adverse life conditions, but also in being in control of their emotions…well, most of the time!
Latin women can love like no other, but when the love is turned off, it’s done. I’ve been the victim of that and for a guy who grew up in the States, it can be hard to fully comprehend.
There’s even a song to describe this phenomenon.
But they’re also soft and tender when it counts. It’s their preferred disposition. The toughness comes out as a self-defense mechanism and it is deadly effective. Best not to trigger it and if you ever do, try to disengage as soon as possible.
I have learned many lessons from Latinas that I have known, a couple that I’ve loved. I’m definitely still in the learning phase.
The Cost Rica tica personifies the exotic, yet warm and inviting, beauty of Costa Rica. A beauty that is to be admired, cherished (if one is so fortunate) and, certainly, respected.
Here’s a famous Latin song dedicated to all these Mujeres Divinas…
