Why are SO many puerto rican women dating Caucasian men?
I am a Puerto Rican woman, and I prefer White men because I believe that, most Puerto Rican men expect women to be slaves to them and to the home. They want us to cook, clean, do laundry, and still be the main caretaker to the children. Nowadays, they allow their wives to work, but women still have to do all the house chores, including taking care of the children. That is not fair. Yet, the Main reason Puerto Rican women prefer White men over Puerto Rican men, is because the great majority of Puerto Rican men are cheaters. The reason why so many of us prefer not to date or marry an African-American, or a man of another Hispanic group, is also because the great majority are cheaters. Puerto Rican women are very assertive, so we refuse to be slaves, and expect to be loved.
I know that there are some exceptions; only a few Puerto Rican men are faithful, and only a few White men are cheaters. I took my best chance; I married a White man, and I have been happily married for 25 years.
Ultimately, all women want to love a man who will love them back. Puerto Rican men think they can get any woman they want, but they don't know how to love them. It's never about sex, and it's all about Love.
Considering that I have lived in New York, Puerto Rico, Chicago, and Texas, my conclusion is still the same. I am not an expert in sociology or statistics; my opinion is based on my observation and my experience.
