So with the gringa blog network in Chile, we've decided to all post on the same subject from time to time. This time the topic is Chilean men. (These are generalizations and don't apply to all Chilean men, but do apply to many of them.)
Chilean men are hilarious. They have a good since of humor, sometimes a bit morbid, which makes it even funnier. They try to have fun all the time, and while I've never worked with them, probably even at work. They auto-define themselves as "güenos para el webeo" which means they enjoy teasing each other in a buena onda way and also they like to carretear. I don't know how many times I've heard a Chilean guy say, "Somos desordenados?", looking for me to say "yes". This translates as "We mess around in a disorderly way?" Yes they do.
If you say something to a Chilean guy that can be interpreted sexually, it will be. The other day I greeted a friend (with the typical greeting kiss to the cheek), and apparently my cheek was cold and he asked, “tenis frio?”, to which I replied, “bah, pa ná” so he said, “entonces, todo lo contrario.” So, yeah, he flipped my words around so that basically I was saying I was caliente. Me cagó.
They are entero jooooooootes!!!! Dude, have you seen the quantity of cafés con piernas there are in
They love gringas; (that should be obvious from our little blog network) and actually they love women in general. I remember back before I met Kyle and my other expat gringa friends, my Chilean guy friends were ALWAYS asking me about my gringa friends. To which I would reply, you mean the ones who live in the States? They’d always ask me to bring my gringa friends to parties…and when I said I didn’t know any gringas, they would say, well bring your amigas chilenas. And now that I have gringa friends, obviously they still ask me to introduce them. And they say it doesn’t matter that most everyone is already dating or married.
The homosexual Chileans I know are also always thinking about sex. I think they are even more obsessed than the heterosexuals. It’s a sex-charged culture.
To read other gringa perspectives, go to Kyle's blog, where she has a list of links.

haha i have the exact same strategy when walking around in Stgo.. i NEVER make eye contact with random guys, and sometimes have a pissed look on my face to make 100% sure they wont say anything to me. i avoid eye contact with anyone trying to hand out flyers too, though. :)
hahaha. I avoid eye contact with the flyers people too.
** IMPORTANT FEEDBACK ** Being an Australian Chilean (a chilean born in chile who grew up in Australia) I feel there is a lot of misconceptions out there..
Firstly, chilean really don't want to spend their lives with a "gringa" they just want to have a sexual relationship with her (from experience). Chilean men don't really have a liking of their ways just their different looks (try a blonde).
I have a friend from chile who just arrived in australia about a year ago. He is happy with his chilean-australian girlfriend but wants to try a "gringa" in the same way someone wants to drive a different model car.
We chilean men can never really be happy with a "gringa" because they are generally as dry and critically indifferent as their male counterparts. "gringa" women are generally better at grabbing our attention (being blonde helps) but don't understand us in the long term. White women are as cool to "hang out with" as a dry leaf branch in death valley.
You are some disillusioned ladies out there..
@ Anonymous. Si, es verdad que son bastante infieles muchos chilenos (y chilenas). De hecho quede traumatizada los primeros meses viviendo en Chile porque me parecia que todos mis vecinos y las personas que conoci eran infieles. Me dije, ni cagando pololeo aca en Chile!!!! No entendia para que pololean si al final se comian a todas y a todos! Te lo juro!! Y para rematar algunos tenian "reglas" para el engano!!! Una mina me dijo que ella respetaba a su pololo porque ella solo le cagaba con minos que vivian a 100 kilometros o mas!!! jajajajjaja. La dura! Yo me preguntaba, para que pololear si al final vay a cagar al pololo o la polola? Para las chilenas que yo conoci no era necesario pololear para comerse un weon. Y claramente para los chilenos tampoco era necesario pololear para culiar! Entonces? Para que pololear? Pero al final racionalize este comportamiento en terminos de la comida. Tener la pareja era como tener el plato de fondo y los agregados eran todas las demas personas! Y para algunos era preferible comer asi que comer puras tapas-lo que le quedaria a la persona soltera. O sea, el plato de fondo con agregados alivia el hambre mucho mas!!! jajajajajjaja. Bueno, despues de estar ya seis meses en Chile cache a chilenos y chilenas que pololeaban exclusivamente. Y recien despues de un año considere la posibilidad de quizas algun dia pololear con un chileno.
que lata que voh no hayas conocido a una gringa que no sea "dry as a leaf branch in Death Valley". Mis mejores amigos chilenos tienen la capacidad de hacerse amigos con personas de todas las culturas y no recaer en estereotipos tan sobre-generalizados como "todas las mujeres blancas son tan secas como a dry leaf branch in Death Valley." Yo no fui la primera ni sere la ultima afuerina (o afuerino) que mis amig@s chilen@s tienen como amig@. y puta que han conocido a weones entretes!! tenian unos amigos frances para cagarse de la risa!!!
bueno mi chipamogli Chileaustraliano, suerte con la busqueda de tus little red corvettes. existen cualquier caleta!!
gracias por el feedback, monoculiao!!!!
To the guy who said gringas dont understand the men and are a piece of tail.. well my chilean husband begs to differ...though some american women may seem cold and dry Its only because of our cultural differences and lack of understanding. Not to mention alot of our men are jack asses..we learn to be soloists and thicker skinned. Once we are shown love by a great man we learn o trust. After all we are all just women..he and i are very much inlove and god couldnt have blessed me with a better, friend and man. As far as he is concerned im the most beautiful and amazing woman he will and has ever met. As far as chile is concerned he came from there so they are good in my book. God bless
@ anonymous married to a Chilean: try not to be so offended by what the Australian-Chilean chipamogli had to say. His emotional intelligence is that of an immature fourteen-year-old with something to prove, and thus his comments carry less weight than a child's.
