Re: Do you prefer a Jamaican mate?

So funny, I've been thinking about this very same topic for a while; and even more so since I visited JA this Xmas...I would date anyone of any culture as long as they are interesting and respectful and intelligent. But for the longterm/marriage/life-time partnership, it has got to be at the very least someone from the Caribbean, with Jamaican at the very top of that list. I love the multiculturality of Canada and more power to the inter-cultural couples, but I don't have the patience to be constantly explaining/translating my culture, especially after having lived away from Jamaica for most of my life and having fairly recently "rediscovered" it...

I still like J'can women but I am dating a woman from another culture. Everyday can be a battle with west indian women. I would rather cooperate with a woman than have a home life where every situation devolves into open combat.

wait a minute. Are you puerto rican saying JA women are argumentative? [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/confused.gif[/img] :P

I don't know any that are that way, particularly when it comes to being in a relationship that's inter-cultural or inter-racial. What have your experiences been papi? :P [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/confused.gif[/img]

Re: Do you prefer a Jamaican mate?

I see a lot of stereotyping happening in this post...

I'll say this - I have been in serious ,long term relationships with non Jamaicans... a white German, a Black American (my ex husband and father of my child) I have now come full circle and am with a Jamaican.

I can't say whether he loves me the more than the others did, but for me the realtionship is much easier because he gets *IT*
and that *IT* factor includes, my sense of humour, my patois, my love of certain foods, my constantly quoting Jamaican proverbs, why my child has to go to private school an wear uniform, my dancing, mi love of soca, why I'll trade sex for Stew Peas... why Bogle can never die... why money always has to be in the budget to go home once or twice a year... he gets it all... and that makes life that much easier for me and cuts down on half the potential arguments we could have.
Now - is not every Jamaican man I could be with - just being Jamaican doesn;t automatically qualify you... there are many Ja. men who I have absolutley nothing in common with. So you still have to find that person that you connect with outside of the common culture...

but to answer the question... Yes , I prefer a Jamaican Mate. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70409-waytogo.gif[/img]
