Be Very Family Oriented

Have A Rare but Strong Temper
Puerto Rican men, like Peruvian men are very passionate, and while this can lend itself naturally to him being very sensual and romantic towards you, it can also occasionally result in a serious temper. While it likely won’t be common for his temper to flare up, when a Puerto Rican man gets mad, you’ll know it.

He’ll Be Very Sensual with His Words
Beyond loving physical touch, Puerto Rican men know how to use their words to express their love towards a woman. When you’re in a relationship with him, he’ll express how he feels to you constantly, and often in a very sensual manner. Again, don’t be surprised if you find yourself thinking that he sometimes goes over the top with his verbal expressions towards you.
