Why did the guys in Mexico like me so much?

I know that Mexicans just might express themselves more when it comes to women but It was crazy how crazy the guys were about me when I went to Mexico this winter. Everywhere i went the guys would stare at me like they were in awe, trip over themselves and try to talk to me. At the zoo the parrot holders would kiss their parrots and look at me when I walked by. The bellhop told me he loved me, and alot of guys were extreemly sweet and gave me amazing compliments. Some girls wanted to know where i was from. I am 16 yrs old and 4' 11'' (though they all seemed to think I was older). I'm slim and have a pretty good figure. also I'm very white and have Red hair. I just loved that they liked me so much even when I was wearing no makeup and when I was looking stupid w/ messed up dirty hair. But mainly why the HUGe difference between Mexican Guys LOVING me and american guys not very much- up here i feel plain and normal, down there I fellt like the most beutiful girl in the world :)

Did you flash them?. That usually makes people like you better, especially if you are sexy and not fat.

Don't get offended but you sound like FRESH MEAT. In Mexico men are passionate, Americans VERY COLD! Have u been to Italy? Italians are worse. The times I have visited Italy I feel like the most gorgeous woman. All I heard the men telling me was BELLA! meaning BEAUTIFUL! Report It

Oh, and LATIN/HISPANIC MEN LOVE WOMEN! THEY ALSO MAKE THE BEST LOVERS!!! Report It

It's not you, they do that for all the girls.

they want green cards and green backs.

1 they compliment many of the girls.

2 being very white with red hair makes you stand out. they don't see that many very white people, and they don't see that many red haired people.

3 from your description I don't doubt that you get looks wherever you go.

They are so different are'nt they? guys over there express their feelings more clearly and openly when they look at a girl. It feels a little weird though doesnt it, like if you cant walk a couple blocks without having someone's eyes following you.

Please understand that they do that to ALL the foreign girls. I have lived in Mexico for 3 years now....and I have learned to block it out. They are giving you this attention for a number of reasons.

1. You are truly pretty and they want to compliment you
2. They "appreciate" the fact that you are foreign....and want to get down your pants. We have a terrible, easy reputation here....if you already didn't know that.
3. They want to use you for a good time and/or money.
4. They are hoping to hook up with you to get out of the country.
5. They are nice guys who want to meet new people.
6. They want to party.

So.....not ALL men are sleazy....just like ALL men are not genuine. The thing you need to do is separate the two and only give genuine guys attention.

they probably thought you were easy, like every other American teen girl.

Best case scenario... probably liked so much because you're in good shape, you have red hair (if you have red or blonde, more eyes on you) and every time they hollered at you, you giggled instead of giving them the middle finger.

Worst case scenario... they probably wanted to get laid (using those outdated tactics and phony lines), wanted to make a quick buck off you from whatever they were selling, wanted to take a pic with/of you and show it off to their friends braggin about their GF from the US (or worse yet, sell your pic to the guys in prison) and last but not least, them fools are trying to marry ANY American women so that they can become legal... yeah baby!

Sorry, didn't mean to disillusion you... =O)

Ok its your figure and your hair. If you stand out anyone will look.. Thats good you felt so pretty too I am sure you dont notice it as much here in the US though. When you go on vacations it makes you more aware of your surroundings..(looking around an stuff)
Glad you had fun though~

They 鈾?everyone they dont know

Thats how it is in Mexico sweetie. I am white with blonde hair and blue eyes-the most desired in mexico is someone with light skin and fair eyes. My husband is from Mexico and the reason I fell for him was because he wasn't acting like an idiot trying to get my attention. Yes when I am around people from Mexico (I mean here in the US) I get starred at. When I go down to Mexico though, my husband could be invisible for all the men down there care. You just have to realize that you are so different from them and the people there, that they are intrigued by you. I had women starring at me-one was hilarious, little pregnant woman at the bank. Just don't let it go to your pretty little red head. And I agree, that just because they aren't too chicken to let you see that they find you attractive, doesn't mean they are "dirty mexicans" as some people say. But they could tone it down. I felt the same sometimes, guys here may have liked me, but I never knew about it.

After 500 years of Australoidic Mayans, Spaniards, West African Negroes, New Guinean Melanesian Negroes, Jews, Arabs, Gypsies, and Filipino Pygmies ALL crossbreeding with each other to create this surreal brown hogh-pogh... they decided that YOUR racial purity was the order of the day.

That's just the way they act. Sorry to burst your bubble. I've experienced the same thing in Mexico. I'm not sure of the reasoning behind it. But I never felt threatened by it. Just keep walking and they'll leave you alone.
