That is Spanish for ‘family is everything,’ and it is a mantra that every Latino man lives by. Whether it is their parents and siblings or distant relatives with obscure connections, Hispanic men are very passionate.
The best part is that Latino families are usually warm and welcoming, so you should not feel left out in that family barbeque or distant cousin’s quinceañera.
What do Latino guys find attractive (how to impress them)?
It is pretty clear thus far that Latin guys are real catches. So it is no surprise that you cannot wait to get one of your very own. But are you his type? To answer this, here are a few general expectations that Latinos have of their partners, so you can impress them.
They like feminine women
Mami is what Latinos refer to beautiful women as. The best thing is that the existing physical variety makes men’s expectations equally variable. Some want short slender girls with straight brunette hair. Others wish to tall curvy goddesses with wavy curls. Bottom line, whatever it is you look like; there is someone there who will find you irresistible.
Latinos appreciate great style
Dating Latino men means keeping up with their image expectations. While the beauty standards vary from region to region and individual to individual, style is one thing that no Latino man will compromise on. So be ready to ditch the sweats for sexy dresses and trendy throws if you want to catch his eye.

Latino men are not misogynists who believe that women belong in the kitchen. They do, however, have a real appreciation for home-cooked meals. Therefore, if you have your kitchen skills mastered, then you will earn extra points with these South American babes.
It is essential not only that you cook well but that you have a huge appetite. Food is a massive part of their culture, and you will always be trying new meals and snacks. So you better come hungry.
They want a family-oriented woman
Remember that family is everything to Hispanic men so if you want one, then you will also have to deal with their desire to start a family. They also like women who are open to being part of their big loud tribes. So put your fears of crazy uncles and intrusive grandparents aside.
Latinos love free-spirited girls
Latino men want a woman who is not afraid to try new things. The men themselves are incredibly outgoing and adventurous, and this is something that you will soon see on the dates they plan for you. Time to pry yourself out of your shell little one.
You should have some religious inclination
It might not be the case with all of them, but it is, for the most part, a huge plus. The regional culture is heavily influenced by religion, with many men subscribing to these beliefs. Again, this depends on the man that you get and what their spiritual priorities are.
