Argentine Women, Sex, Chocolate & Shopping

Stop the presses! Stop the presses!

This just in: Argentine women like sex more than women in other countries. ¡Viva La Argentina! Who cares about Argentina’s economic growth, its inflation or even its newly-elected female president when there are more interesting things to talk about – things like sex. The topic of conversation now is not consumer price inflation but rather the inflated sexual appetites of Argentine women. Nobody is going to complain about this kind of inflation, at least not here in this space.

According to a new survey, Argentine women are more interested in sex than are women in any other country surveyed. Women here said sex is their favorite earthly pleasure, according to the poll, which was conducted by Datos Claros Research Opinion. Argentines said sex is preferable to chocolate, shopping, a romantic dinner, ice cream and even a bouquet of flowers.

According to the study, which was paid for by the deodorant company Axe, 60.5% of Argentine women said sex was their preferred pleasure compared with 54% of respondents from women in other countries. Sex was followed closely by chocolate, shopping and a good meal. Overall, women in most countries surveyed said their preferred pleasure was chocolate.

The survey said Brazilian, Dutch and French women favor chocolate over sex, while Italians, Germans and Mexicans would prefer to go shopping before having sex. Perhaps the way to win over the heart of an Argentine woman would be to follow up a romantic dinner with sex in a chocolate store inside a shopping mall?

Like Argentines, Spanish women also said sex was their favorite pleasurable activity. Can we have a round of applause please for Latino Women?

The survey polled 3,571 women in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, England, France, Germany, Holland, India, Mexico, the Philippines, the UK and U.S.

Er – applause to the “Latino women”? Mexican Women are Latinas as well, so are Brasilieras, and the Italian are as much latino as the Spanish. Just for the record:)

WTFK says:

You don’t think mebbe Karina Jelinek quieres a Yanqui green card?

taca says:

No, WTFK, we do not need your greencard! We don’t need to scape our country, we want to leave it for more experience. And we do it by plane. The problem with most Latino women, besides Argentinean and Brazilian, is the power of the religion, and machismo. In Argentina is different because: We don’t need your credit card (for shopping), we have one. We don’t need your chocolate, we buy ourselves one. We don’t need your flowers, we know we are the best flowers. We still like heterosexual sex, and that why we still deal with men.

Amen!

chocol says:

Can’t say I agree with the survey, but the axe chocolate ad is funny!

Argentine Rocket says:

I wonder if Argentine/Spanish women are just less shy than the rest, and more likely to be honest… maybe other nationalities are shy and don’t want to admit they like sex? Either way, interesting posting, thank you!

Anonymous says:

The woman in the picture above is gorgeous without a doubt. But don’t be fooled by that. The average argentine woman doesn’t look like that. Those are the models that appear on TV and the majority of them go through surgery anyway , so they are usually fake and plastic. But yeah, this particular model is every guy’s dream girl, mine too of course…

NEVERSUMMER says:

…”the average argentine woman doesn’t look like that” … of course not!! They look much better!! Just you have to walk along the street to see it!!

bsastps says:

From the well known fact that Argentine women are “histericas” (not in the literal english sense) but meaning that they will give every impression that they are into sex and the like but eventually turning out to be a tease as compared the the Brazilians, i doubt the actual validity of the post-survey reality, i.e., they are highly likely to have answered that they prefer sex over chocolate and shopping, but in reality they din’t mean it since they probably got more satisfaction portraying the fact that they love sex more that actually loving it.

chum says:

the Spanish aren’t latino(in the sense that you are using). Latino = Latin America. Is Spain in Latin America?

Mariano says:

Just for the record
Latin -> From Latin Origin. True latins are Italians and perhaps Sapniards and Portuguese and finally their descendants like Argentinians, Brazilians, etc…

Chum, LATINO refers to all those who are under latin culture direct heritage. Where do you think latin comes from? Paraguay? Latin + America cuzz we are a mix of the latinos that came to america and the native americans in the first place (blacks came later in the process). To your surprise, Portuguese, Spanish, Italians, Romanians, FRENCH and even some Swiss are latinos (and I am not talking about immmigrants). Latin influence as a language all over the world would be another chapter.

Carol says:

This indicates one of two things: Either men in Argentina take good care of themselves, and are also more loving, romantic and sexually skilled than men anywhere else – making their women crave them. (Hooray for them, if that’s the case!) OR women in Argentina feel a need to say what they believe men want to hear. Any woman who truly enjoys sex will tell you that sex is only great with the right sort of man because emotions and passions are complex. Women who advertise the fact that they’re sex crazed are usually actually approval addicts. This type of woman feels that by giving their sex drive a lot fanfare they will turn men (even creepy men that most women would rather NOT turn on) on and make them popular. (Typically it works, too – since every guy will who hears this will think that it means that woman means she craves sex with HIM – even if he’s a paunchy, dull bore.) In reality, women don’t walk around sex-starved and in need of a random guy to do the job – that’s fluff created by the porn industry, and perpetuated by manipulative women who seduce strangers and feign enjoyment for other reasons. Sadly, some men always want to be gullible and some women tend to work this to their advantage. If a guy who strikes out with women in the U.S. becomes a “chick magnet” in another country, he’s being manipulated by a woman who needs money, legal help or something else he can offer. The woman in the photo is an outstanding beauty in any country. If men want to believe that the majority of women they meet in Argentina look like her, then I have a deed to land on the moon I’d like to sell them.

meag says:

I’m guessing that the study didn’t consider the quality of chocolate and shopping available to the average woman in each country. Since the majority of mass produced (i.e. affordable) chocolate in Argentina tastes like dusty ass and the quality of affordable consumer goods is so low, it’s no surprise that sex looks better. I can’t walk into a reasonably priced clothing store without being suffocated by polyester. If there were a Gap and a Godiva in every mall across the country, and women could afford these pleasures, I’m guessing Argentine women would find other afternoon delights. As it is, everything is closed for siesta anyway and I’ve got nothing better to do…

Donny says:

Wow, that’s a great study for guys out there. So, after this guys if you want to go to Argentine, careful of your first move as now you know that Argentina ladies likes sex better than anything.

Martin says:

it’s not that they like sex more, they are impulsive and don’t think about the question and how to respond

Argentines are the most impulsive people i’ve ever met, and the most outspoken too on a related note.

Juan says:

DID YOU FUCK HER?
no se como termine aca, pero bueno…tengo derecho a preguntar.

Jo Louise says:

Me encanta Argentina, me encantan las compras y ser honesto. Sexo, el chocolate, ir de compras y que tengan un buen trabajo es lo mejor para una mujer a sentirse bien sobre sí misma. Supongo que usted! Estaba hablando de mí mismo.

Lovelyargie says:

Ok i will say some things about this blog.
The girl from the photo ,Karina is good looking i know her well she has been my neighbour in Palermo and she went out with a friend of mine, an ex rich guy.She is sexy very hot and love hard sex (i know details but i won;t tell them) and all that is good but on the other side she is not clever at all.There are much more girls in Argentina that are that beautiful and much more refined clever and so on.Thats why as i know her i can tellyou she is not the dream of some of us.
2:Girls in argentina specially from the centre and south part are a good mix of italian,spanish and another places in less proportion and they like to be thin and well trained that s why they are attractive for most of men of the rest of the world.
and finally american people that haven t been in buenos aires and argentina cant understand that people are not attractive at all for being american specially from the high levels places, instead we prefer european much more as a refined reference.We look american people nice people but without good taste and not refined at all and with a a little bit of ignorance about most places outside the states itself

And what gives Argentines the right to define who’s refined and who’s not? I for one have been to Argentina and didn’t find the natives refined in the slightest. Exceptions aside, I found most to be the exact opposite, and not only unrefined fashion-wise but also abrupt in their manner and lacking in pleasantries. Really, if you think the average argentine is refined, it’s obvious that you’ve never been out of the country…
That said, your statement that Americans lack good taste and are not refined at all is a gross generalization. While that may be the case for a redneck from the Deep South, not all Americans are like that. The Americans from the big cities in the East Coast are known for their sophistication and elegance. I can assure you the average New Yorker is much more refined than most people in Buenos Aires.
On another note, I find it ironic that you even have the nerve to call Americans ignorant after making such an uninformed post yourself. Do you ever look in the mirror?

Mike says:

Carlos, although I don’t fully agree with Lovelyargie, I think there’s a speck of truth in her post. Let me start off by saying that I’m American, and I’ve lived in Argentina for over a decade. Although (some; a minotrity of) Americans may be superficially more refined, I think that Argentineans have a rich culture and tend to be less ignorant than the average American, generally speaking; especially when it comes to issues about the rest of the world. I’ve heard several experienced professors from American colleges say that American education is considerably poor compared to that of European countries, and IMHO, Argentina, where students are taught to think for themselves instead of repeating the answers of a multiple choice exam. That may be an explanation to the “ignorance” Lovelyargie was talking about. The average Argentinean high school student is exposed to much more than the average American high school student as well. I know because I went to school there, and the differences in the educational systems is a topic I always discuss with my friends in California. They call me lucky, you may call me snob; but you know… It’s not surprising to see international students that have a better grasp of the English language than natives… it’s sad.

When it comes to manners, Americans may be more polite, but they’re dead cold compared to South Americans and Europeans (or “rude” in our culture’s perspective). I would much rather meet people who are abrupt in their manners than people who could possibly sue me for the silliest thing. The lack of social proximity is ridiculous to me, but you may you prefer politeness and distance. Cultural differences, I guess, but what’s undeniable is that Americans are spoiled by customer service. I travelled to Europe with American friends recently, and it was funny how they constantly complained about the bad service in restaurants among other places, while it seemed perfectly normal to me.

Carlos says:

Mike,

Your whole post is nothing but a load of utter nonsense.Your views on Argentina are totally skewed and unrealistic, only surpassed by your bias against Americans… Let’s see…

“Although (some; a minotrity of) Americans may be superficially more refined, I think that Argentineans have a rich culture and tend to be less ignorant than the average American, generally speaking; especially when it comes to issues about the rest of the world”.

You gotta be kidding me… Argentines are one of the least international people I’ve ever come across… The vast majority couldn’t care less about the rest of the world. After all, Argentina is the best country on Earth and everything Argentine is the best, right? Why should they care about other countries? That pretty much sums up the mentality of your average Argentine. Besides, the fact that most never travel abroad doesn’t help, either… Not to mention that Argentine society itself is very homogeneous and lacking in diversity to begin with… All this makes people very provincial and narrow-minded. It doesn’t take a genius to realize that… You don’t know what you’re talking about if you think Argentines compare favorably to Americans… The US, unlike Argentina, is a multicultural nation. Americans can trace their ancestry to the most diverse backgrounds. Besides, the US receives immigrants from every part of the world. This diversity makes it culturally rich. This is NOT the case with Argentina. Argentines on a whole are a homogeneous group and it shows in their culture. The lack of diversity makes it extremely bland and monochromatic. I fail to see any richness in it… Your remark about it being rich is risible…

“I’ve heard several experienced professors from American colleges say that American education is considerably poor compared to that of European countries”

Argentina is NOT Europe. Far from it…

“and IMHO, Argentina, where students are taught to think for themselves instead of repeating the answers of a multiple choice exam. That may be an explanation to the “ignorance” Lovelyargie was talking about. The average Argentinean high school student is exposed to much more than the average American high school student as well. I know because I went to school there, and the differences in the educational systems is a topic I always discuss with my friends in California.”

Sorry to disappoint you, but the Argentine education system is NOT better than the American one. As a matter of fact, it SUCKS. Public schools lack government funding, the kids don’t learn anything, there is no discipline, the teachers are always on strike and care more about protesting than teaching…. I could go on for ages. Just listen to any expert on the subject… Coincidentally, not long ago I saw a talk show on Argentine TV where they were discussing this issue. All the guests, who were education experts, agreed that the state of Argentine education is very poor. One of them even said that Argentine education is obsolete and needs reform and that the American system is much more modern. Maybe you are unaware of all this because you went to one of those expensive private schools that only the very rich can afford. Of course the education there is going to be excellent. But you fail to realize that those are elitist schools for high class people, hardly representative of the public education system…

“American education is considerably poor compared to that of European countries, and IMHO, Argentina, where students are taught to think for themselves instead of repeating the answers of a multiple choice exam.”

Argentine students taught to think for themselves?? HAHAHA I’m really starting to doubt that you attended school in Argentina. If you really did, you wouldn’t make such a ridiculous statement… Actually, an Argentine exam typically consists of a number of questions that the kids have to answer by repeating what they were told by the teachers and what the reading material says… They just memorize what they are told and put it in paper. IMO, that is hardly thinking for oneself…
Let’s face it… The Argentine education system is old-fashioned and boring, and based on memorization. The kids are educated the same way people were in the 18th century… At least the US system is more modern and the students are taught in a more didactic fashion. Unlike what you said, American kids not only do multiple choice tests but are also given research work, have to write essays, etc. That’s rarely seen in Argentina.
The Argentine education system is even worse than the American one. There’s no doubt about that. I strongly suggest you GET INFORMED before making comparisons.

“That may be an explanation to the “ignorance” Lovelyargie was talking about.”

As far as ignorance is concerned, I think you are the epitome of it. Just look at your post…

“The average Argentinean high school student is exposed to much more than the average American high school student as well.”

I agree wholeheartedly on this one. The average Argentinian student is indeed exposed to much more… The constant teacher strikes, schools that fall apart, with no heating in winter… I’m sure the average American student isn’t exposed to all that…

“They call me lucky, you may call me snob; but you know…”

I don’t call you snob, just ignorant…

“It’s not surprising to see international students that have a better grasp of the English language than natives… it’s sad.”

And how are Argentines better? In case you didn’t know, young Argentines these days struggle to put two sentences together. Have you heard them speak? It seems not. Perhaps you haven’t visited Argentina in a long time… Things have changed…

“When it comes to manners, Americans may be more polite, but they’re dead cold compared to South Americans and Europeans (or “rude” in our culture’s perspective).”

LOL The level of IDIOCY that you reach in your comments doesn’t cease to amaze me. Any reasonable person would agree that it is the Europeans who are colder than Americans, not the other way around. Europeans tend to be formal and reserved, there’s no way Americans could be ‘dead cold’ by comparison to them. Have you ever heard of American friendliness? That’s rarely found in Europe. Even the Europeans themselves admit that Americans are more friendly and warm. But I guess in your mind talking any nonsense is ok, as long as it makes Americans look bad.
As for South Americans, you can’t lump them all together like that… Colombians, Brazilians, etc may be warm, but Argentines are nothing like the rest of South Americans, they are a whole different species. I for one don’t find them warm in the slightest, much less in BA. It is a known fact that porteños are very reserved and stuck up. They are friendly only when they are with close friends and relatives, but who isn’t in that setting?… IMHO, to know if someone is truly friendly you have to see how they treat strangers, and porteños leave a lot to be desired in that department. Unless they know you very well, they treat you coldly and in a distant manner. You rarely see them exchanging kind words and pleasantries with strangers as is commonplace in the US. Argentines reserve their kindness to their circle of people, they don’t make much of an effort to appear friendly to outsiders. Americans, on the other hand, are friendly towards EVERYONE, many times even to random people they meet in the street.
Please stop putting Argentines on a pedestal… They don’t deserve it. Plus, so much flattery is making you look obsequious… Don’t get me wrong, I do understand Argentina butt-kissing is your favorite pastime… I just think you’re taking it a bit too far…

“I would much rather meet people who are abrupt in their manners than people who could possibly sue me for the silliest thing.”

What THE HELL do lawsuits have to do with this topic??? I guess you just have to get everything mixed up, as a way to compensate for your lack of arguments… Yes, in the US there’s a lot of suing… maybe the reason for that is the US has an efficient judicial system… unlike Argentina where you have to wait an eternity to obtain a sentence… and teenagers are allowed to commit crimes with total impunity because they can’t be legally punished… Please don’t get me started on the Argentine judicial system…

“The lack of social proximity is ridiculous to me, but you may you prefer politeness and distance.”

Politeness is a display of respect and consideration towards others… The fact that you equate it with distance goes to show, once again, how ignorant you are. So, according to your mentality, being abrupt and ill-mannered is preferable to being polite… and also an indicator of social proximity. Sure, because bad manners, insulting, yelling, etc bring people all that much closer together… No wonder you like Argentines so much… You must find their lack of civility very appealing…

“but what’s undeniable is that Americans are spoiled by customer service.”

Again, what the hell does this have to do with anything? Yes, standards for customer service are high in the US… But lemme guess… you prefer the awful customer service in Argentina… Ok, I guess you would like any piece of crap as long as it is from Argentina.
Mike, your fixation on denigrating Americans as a way to praise Argentines doesn’t speak too well of yourself… Maybe this attitude of yours is a product of so many years of Argentine education… Finally, they convinced you that they are better than your own nationality… No offense but, could it be that while you thought you were being ‘taught to think for yourself’ in reality you were being a victim of indoctrination? Just guessing…

sho says:

New Yorkers more refined than people from Buenos Aires? r u kidding me???!!!!!
yeap I can confirmed americans are ignorants and now arrogants….they think they are all that, but they have no idea. A lot of americans wonder if Argentina is part of Europe? ….
soooo sad……for you……lol

Carlos says:

sho,

From your comment, I have to assume that you are Argentine. You LOVE to prove a point, don’t you? :-)

Vampirelle says:

Carlos, I’m really impressed. You can talk about the politeness of Americans and still be unpolite.
I’m not going to spend much time with you, because I don’t want to get pissed, but I’ll tell you some things you ought to know…

1. Do you know what the UBA is? Universidad de Buenos Aires. Buenos Aires’ University is the best University of the country. It receives students from Paraguay, Uruguay, Chile, Bolivia, etc.

2. Homogeneity? Agrgentinian women are more beautiful than women of the other South American countries because they descend from a mixture resulted from the immigration of the last decades of the XIX century and the first of the XX century.
I’ll teach you something about Argentinian history. The Native people of this country was almost exterminated by the Spanish, and due to this and the Spanish, Italian and German Immigration, Argentinians have a huge variety of cultures, interests and features.
Also, many people from Paraguay, Uruguay, Bolivia, Chile, Peru, etc. move here to find work, and their children to study and get a professional degree. As you must know, most universities in America are paid, while the UBA is PUBLIC, and totally free. Also, being an UBA graduate is very appreciated even in your country.
3. Most people prefer to send their children to public high schools not because of the money, but because most private schools are pretty bad. The Nacional Buenos Aires school, Carlos Pellegrini School, and Lenguas Vivas school are the best public high schools of the country, and they are FREE, you only have to sit for an entrance exam (you have to study a lot, though, due to the low quantity of vacancies)
In this PUBLIC SCHOOLS they teach the usual subjects plus English and Latin, and an extra language (you can choose between portuguese, german and fench).

I won’t deny we have a lot of insecurity, economic problems, etc, but you can’t say we’re an homogeneous society, or that we have a bad education.
I would like to say also that all the exchange students (New Zealand, France and Austria) I have met, have loved argentinian people, and come back whenever they can. They say we are the warmest people they’ll ever meet (besides Brazilians, they say, I haven’t travelled there but it must be true XD).
One last thing: argentinian are more aware of the world than many countries. My actual boyfriend has been an exchange student in Japan, and they didn’t even know about the holocaust. I know this doesn’t happen very often, but it’s an example. You must understand that having a very dependant economy and family all over the world we are very aware of what happens outside Argentina (for example my grandad was spanish and my grandparents italian, and we still talk to our uncles and cousins from there).

Astor says:

Americans are the nicest people. I am argentine and lived/studied in boston for a couple of years and everybody i knew in the US was friendly in a way or another. I think that comparing americans “against” argentineans is a rellay silly way of wasting time. Instead, let’s just take what’s better from each country and complement our experiences with its people. There are many strong differences though, but this is a good thing. For example, americans can’t dance no matter how hard they try. They move and can repeat coreographies but have no grace at all. I am not sure they can even understand what i am saying. But still that’s a funny thing to watch and i hope they still come to buenos aires to try to dance tango!

DRRK says:

I’m American male, so I want to meet Argentine women before planning a trip to Argentina. What websites for regional meeting?

I am not a fan of Argentine women… It’s all about Brazil!

Reader says:

I have been to Argentina and the woman are not very attractive. Very rare to see a beauty there.

THEY WERE PROBABLY HIDDING FROM YOU…LOL
JUST ASK ROBERT DUVALL, MATT DAMON, MICHAEL BUBLE OR JAMES SHERMAN….
GOOD LUCK MEN

Bubblegum says:

Well, what can I say? I am aregentinian, and love sex more than ANYTHING in the World!

Marisa says:

Enjoying sex does not mean a woman is going to have sex with just anyone. Why call the women a tease just because they have sex with you.

Marisa says:

Whoops I meant to say “Won’t have sex with you.”

ghader says:

Sandra says:

As an Argentine ex-pat living in Houston…yes Argentine women are beautiful. I consider myself pretty attractive and when I went to Buenos Aires I was floored by how many gorgeous women and men there were! And very few overweight people. Most were definitely not plastic either….you see more plastic Argentines state side.
