I am living in the United States and have met a fabulous Honduran man who lives in the same city as I do. What are some cultural differences regarding dating that I will need to know? I am a fairly progressive, assertive woman. Do most Honduran men prefer to take the lead in a relationship? Do I need to be careful about being agressive? Also after a very short time he is telling me that he loves me. Is this normal for the culture? Not sure if it matters or not, but I'm about 10 years older than him. Any tips and advice?Thanks in advance for your helpful feedback!

Uh - no I am NOT willing to become submissive to please him. I've never changed to make anyone happy. And no, he does not want me for citizenship. He eventually wants to move back to Honduras.

dont date honduran men, at first they all nice n all that but after some time they change n they show their real personality. hes telling u that he loves u but has he prove it to u?? they do like to take the lead in a relationship, n yeah be becareful about being agressive if hes agressive he might respond back with the same he might not do it know but he can start when u to r married or just live together...honduran men are machistas, they like their women to stay home, cook, take care of the kids, clean the house n all that but they wont help u out...they wont wash the plate where he ate n plus ur 10 years older than him maybe hes just taking advantage of u. im hondurian too n i wont marry a hondurian man.

I have been happily married to a Honduran man for 3 years. We have a beautiful 8 month old daughter that we both adore grately. All Honduran men can not be put in the same category. I am a very stong independent woman and he supports that. He has supported myself along with our daughter in rough times. Our relationship has had a few rough patches but we have over come those. He's a calm quiet guy that has never disrespected myself or any other woman I know.
He also helps out around the house:)

You don't say what nationality you are. American women are more likely to be taken into a relationship where the Latino male senses he is in charge. After a short time he is telling you he loves you? Clearly, he doesn't know what love is. Is he looking to marry a citizen so that he can become a citizen? You question about whether or not you need to be careful about being aggressive is troubling because you describe yourself as "assertive," yet you are apparently willing to become submissive if that pleases him. Don't you see the danger here? The fact that you are ten years older gives him a sense of security because he knows that American women who are lonely are excellent targets to mold and take advantage of. You should have been doing some research on the Honduran culture - not one of the travelguide marshmallow pieces but something substantial. Call a spouse abuse hotline and ask if they have info regarding Latinos and American women. The cultures are so different and today millions of illegals do not want to be American, they just want the goodies. In traditional Latino cultures - the European influence - would make taboo premarital sex. Be careful.

There is no rules in dating any man. Just keep your eyes and ears open it doesn't take long before the true colors come out. I met a Honduran man and he was very nice and we got along good. After a while we moved in and he still was the sweet person I met. The things I saw was he was always on his phone and his mind was miles away from me. Find out he was always talking to his childrens mom who at the time I did not know was still in the picture. He was sending most of his money to Honduras and was little help to me because in their mind American women are wealthy. They do not feel bad about being unfaithful at all. It's almost like it's a normal way of life. And believe me the women from there will put up with almost anything as long as the money keeps coming their way.
He was never mentally or physically abusive but had a dark side to him. I got into his phone and he was talking sexually to one of his first cousins, looking for prostitutes and talking sexually to others. Ok the game stopped here I kicked his sorry *** out.
But this doesn't only happen with non-American guys. This can happen with anyone guy. Like I said keep your ears and eyes opend.

I went through same experience. He was so nice at first and as soon as he got me he started being rude. I was raised old fashion. He always called me money hungry (never paid my bills). His friends all cheated on their gf and spouses. He only brought me around people from Honduras refused to hang out with my friends (all born in america). He even bitched how I don't cook and clean for him (wasn't living with him). I was going to school and working umm...so I clean my house then have to do yours with the way he was treating me ? Um NO! He was a pathological liar and tried to belittle me. Tried to prevent me from having friends.Thought his **** didn't stink. I was abused cheated and lied too. I was warned about central American men and I believe it to fullest. Sometimes I thought it's the way you're raised but unfortunately all honduran men I've met did the same to their women. Below is a picture of when he threw me split my head open. Charges will be pressed. I'm American BTW. DEPORT!

I ve recently dated a man from Honduras. He was a mechanic and so sweet and nice to me in the beginning, but he later displayed all of these traits. The last time I went to his shop to have work done on my car, he acted as though I was just a customer. This was because he had another African American woman there he was sleeping with and the baby mama working in his shop. I never thought the once wonderful person I was falling for would put me in that situation, and make me feel like I was nothing. I m six years older than him, but he totally pursued me and took advantage. All I can say is to do your homework. There were signs that I ignored. When people show you who they are the first time, believe them!!!

A honduran-american woman, who dated honduran men (note: correct spelling is honduran & not hondurian) I would never go back to dating a honduran man because there are too many reasons behind it. One of that is that they are chauvinistic (machistas), they are not progressive individuals meaning having a willingness for personal growth, & as for me, i love who i am to have anyone come into my world, and try to mold me into something he want to control. on that note. #Byefelicia
