- How Important is Catholicism for dating Colombian Women?
Over the years of living in Colombia, I have heard both local Colombians and foreigners emphasize the importance of Catholicism for dating Colombian women.
With Colombian guys, some of them might say to you that their women are not as slutty as American women and have conservative religious values.
Now why would such Colombian guys tell this lie?
They know absolutely that this is bullshit.
Most Colombian men will be honest with you and admit that there is a lot of infidelity in Colombia
And any Colombian guy knows that women in Colombia are not well known for being difficult to get into the bed.
And quite frankly, anyone outside of Colombia who knows anything about Colombia knows that too.
On the other hand, any foreigner who doesn’t know much about Colombia might also think that same lie also – that Colombian women are very difficult or conservative because of their religious Catholic faith.
The reality is that the Catholicism does have some importance for Colombian women but in certain ways.
Yes, it is true that most Colombian women are Catholic and quite a few go to church quite often.
Faith and Sex
However, going to church in of itself isn’t enough to stop Colombian women from cheating on their partners or having casual sex with someone they just met.
I have had sex with plenty of Colombian women down here who were eager to have sex on the very first date
Some of them even within just 30 minutes of meeting me in person and then going up to my room
And yet they post religious quotes and Catholic images on their Facebook afterwards
So no, being religious and Catholic does not stop the women down here from having some casual fun.
You are more likely to find a more conservative woman in the more rural parts of Colombia than you are in any of the cities.
But then again, that’s basically true in most of the world. Things are always more conservative in the rural areas than the urban cities.
Beyond casual sex and church attendance…
Where else may religion be important for the women here?
Well, women tend to be a little more conservative when it comes to social values.
Compared to the US, you will find fewer acceptances of certain topics like gay marriage for example.
Although in my experience that is changing quickly as younger people are always more liberal on these subjects
Therefore, if the Colombian chick you are dating is around 30 for example, she is probably going to be less liberal than a younger chick who is 19 or 20.
And that age difference is important – as we then talk about her family.
When you meet her family, you should expect them to be quite conservative.
There is generally speaking a lot less acceptance of certain things among the older Colombian crowd than the younger folks
For example, I am not a Catholic myself and I have mentioned this to a few Colombian chicks that I have dated more seriously down here
Every single one of them except my current one did feel a little bit uncomfortable with this personal detail
Her Family and Religion
However, they all were able to accept it but insisted that I lie to their parents and say I am a Christian
Well, when I was younger and new down here, I was more comfortable doing that sort of thing
Funny enough, one of the chicks I dated told me that I should say I am Catholic but then she told her parents I was Christian beforehand
Which apparently made them confused when they asked me what religion I was and I responded Catholic
In comparison to dating girls in the US, I was never asked what religion I am and it was simply never an issue
That isn’t to say that there aren’t some parts of the US where this would be a bigger issue but that generally has never been the case for me up there
But down here in Colombia, it’s definitely an issue.
Fortunately for me, the current girlfriend I am with doesn’t feel uncomfortable with this detail whatsoever and I’m not going to lie anymore about what I believe
So her parents know the truth and fortunately it never caused an issue
In that regard, I guess it may be asked…
What should you do if her parents may not be accepting of your religion?
Let’s say you are Christian but not Catholic for example
Or any other religion for that matter
Should you lie to her parents about what you believe?
In my opinion, no
Be proud of what you are and don’t lie about it to earn someone else’s respect
If they can’t respect you, so be it
I personally don’t like the feeling of lying to someone anyway and can’t tolerate pretending to be something I’m not
Own up to what you are and let the chips fall where they may
And in my experience, this is likely to be the one of the biggest things you will notice when it comes to how Catholicism plays a role down here
Because it’s on a more personal level where you are in Colombia dating seriously some Colombian chick and you have to confront this cultural difference regarding religion
And at the same time, be true to yourself and be honest about what you are
This issue will also come up again in other aspects of dating a more serious Colombian woman….
For example, where are you two going to get married if it gets to that point?
Most Colombian women will insist on a church.
Final Thoughts
Additionally, her family may invite you to church every once in a while and to attend other religious events
Even if they know you are not religious
It’s not just about religion, it’s also general social event where they can spend more time with you and get to know you better
Both of which are examples of the importance of Catholicism for dating Colombian women
Finally, there are kids.
I don’t have any kids myself so I have less personal experience on this matter.
However, I have talked with my current girlfriend and with previous girls I met before
I have also talked with some other guys I know here who do have kids
In my experience, religion will be important for the kids too for the most part.
In most cases, the woman you are with down here will probably insist on the kids going to church regularly.
They may also attend some other religious events also.
However, some have told me that the women down here do not push religion on their kids too hard
Mostly just attend church and other religious events and that’s it
Overall, these are just some of the basic details you can expect in regards to how religion impacts a Colombian woman’s openness to sex and fidelity and also marriage and family.
Finally, it should be said that the importance of religion also has some variation across the country
You will find women in Bogota to be a little more secular and a bit less religious than other women in the rest of the country
Which might explain in part why the girl I am with now and her family do not care about the fact that I am not Catholic
