A hot Paisa given the choice will 95% choose a Colombian guy over a gringo any day of the week. If she chooses a gringo you can be sure it's really for only one reason. They would much rather be drinking aguardiente and dancing salsa in their little Colombian table cliques in Parque Lleras or Sabaneta than hang around with a gringo who looks ridiculous trying to dance. The Colombians are masters at salsa and I am yet to meet a Colombiana who did not love to dance.
But given the choice of sit at home with mom and dad or drink aguardiente in the street or parking lot, they will happily accept an invitation for dinner and drinks out at Lleras where they can take photos to put on facebook to show their girlfriends they are out on the town.
I know lots of foreigners who would love to think that the reason they meet girls is because they are quite handsome or they treat them better or that their horrible sounding gringo spanish accent is somehow cute to the local girls. It's not.
All that being said if you sift and sift and sift you can find a university educated and hot (they are almost all hot) Paisa that is not looking for money. They are rare but can be found.
I have a friend who still lives there who is 56 years old and he had a 26 year old girlfiend. I was like "geez that's pretty young" and said to me "I deserve it!"
Maybe he did!
