I don't think a man going to a pro is super manly its pretty sad and I genuinely don't think for one second all argentine men are the same... And anyway how has a thread on dating turned into a debate on prostitution..... ?????
I don't think all Argentine men are the same, but most argie guys who would "date" an expat gal are probably not to take her home to meet mom and dad. At least some of the Argentine men who are in relationships/and or are married would be happy to also "date" a foreigner, but I don't think it's an unfair generalization to assert that their primary goal would be to have sex with her asap. Then
she would be the one taking the biggest risk. Some of the Argentine men (certainly not all) do have sex with prostitutes and I'm sure they lie about it to their girlfriends, wives, and foreign ladies they're hoping to score with as well.
A foreign woman asking about dating in Argentina should know about the casual attitude many (if not most) Argentine men (including those in their early 20's) have regarding sex, including having sex with other girls even if they are "in" a relationship as well as with "cheaper" prostitutes (available in bars or on line) since they are the easiest ones to have sex with. They are not meeting "escorts"s in cabarets or having sex with them in upscale hotels.
If I remember correctly, at least one of the threads in the list I posted include comments about Argentine men being jealous and possessive. In another thread (earlier this year) a member posted a story about being hit over the head with a champagne bottle by an argie a-hole who became violent after the expat (who happened to be gay) offered to share his champagne with an argie couple sitting at the bar. I think he was chatting with the argie's girlfriend and was hit when the super macho argie came back from the men's room (?). This is also something expat gals considering dating argie men should keep in mind.
I have an expat woman friend who's just over 50. She's also brilliant and gorgeous, She became involved with an argie guy and broke up with him after a couple years. She moved and hadn't seen him for a while. They ran into each other by chance and he tried to rekindle the relationship. She wasn't interested. He apparently couldn't accept that.
I don't know the exact circumstances, but I do know that he became violent and broke her arm.
That has to break the Gentleman's Code as well.
