I believe that every woman is a singular and peculiar human being. However, when I try to analyze the Portuguese, there are certain characteristics that are common to all of us. Here are some of the things you should know about our women:
 |
| Beauty is confidence Credits |
2. We like to eat. I’m not only talking about our great traditional Portuguese food, we love sushi, we love Italian, we love to taste new things. And, of course, we love to drink accordingly, if you know what I mean.
3. We are good drivers. I mentioned all the reasons on a previous post. Women are awesome drivers: they just have more personality when it comes to steering a vehicle that reaches high speed. A woman has the same attitude driving around in her car as she has in life: we are always right. So... Just don’t.
4. We are learning new ways of living. Our mothers were raised to find a husband and have a nice family with a nice house. In my opinion, there’s nothing wrong with that, I want it too. But nowadays, if you don’t want it, it is also acceptable in our minds to travel the world, to have a boyfriend, or a girlfriend, or just to have friends, or to be alone. As long as you are happy, you do your own choices.
5. We are beautiful. We are mostly not the “win worldwide beauty pageants” type. We have dark hair, tanned skin and great attitude. We are confident, we own the place. We hold our heads up high, and for me, that’s beauty.
6. We are great students. After the 80’s, college started to be a possibility for women in Portugal (previously men ruled the place). These days we are more and better. The numbers do the talking. We are great students and consequently, great professionals and great leaders.
7. We are loyal. The sad thing about Portugal’s statistics is that we have one of the highest divorce percentages of the world. I believe this means that we are loyal to ourselves. We know how to love and we want to be happy and to make our families happy too.
8. We forgive but we don’t forget. Don’t mess with the Portuguese girl. We have kind hearts and we are raised with great values, but enough is enough. We might forgive after some time, we might try to overcome after a heartfelt apology but we won’t forget. Just try to be nice around us, so we won’t have to show our fangs.
If you are a Portuguese woman and you read this text, I really hope you enjoyed it and you seen at least a little bit of yourself in my description.
Your TopCrusher,Daniela
I divided my comment into two parts because of the number of its characters so; here's part one:
ReplyDeleteI'm a Portuguese man although I was fostered by an Irish family; I've spent my most of my life in Portugal. I'm a full supporter of gender equality.
A Portuguese woman waited for her man to return from building the Portuguese empire; but records of the time prove that most women were so frigid and greedy that as soon as their man had set foot ashore, they greated him from afar and asked if he'd grown rich before asking if he'd suffered any injuries.
Most Portuguese women like to eat but face cooking as a burden instead of a joy because traditionally they're expected to tend to that aspect of the household life.Today most Portuguese people usually eat Western-common-food like pasta, stakes, chips or fish-sticks, while more elaborate, traditional food is limited to special occasions like holidays. Let's also not forget that too many Portuguese women have joined the ranks of the "weight watchers".
About Portuguese drivers, in a foreigner's guide:
"The ordinary portuguese driver is usually oblivious to most rules of civil conduct and shows little respect for the legal, internationally approved norms and driving regulations."
The Inquisition; the Monarchy and a Dictatorship crippled Portuguese mentality. Residues of that make for men to still be expected to boss over his women to make sure they are "proper" and, mixed with rights that women won in the last century; they make for most women to carry double standards about fulfilling the obligations any right entails, so:
If a typical Portuguese woman hears a man saying he is a stay-at-home-dad and his wife is the "breadwinner"; she'll deepen her frown and either cut the conversation short or call him a useless, queer, pimp to his face!
I've never seen a Portuguese woman refuse to go into a club/disco/pub that advertises free entrance for women but charges it to men.
I see lots of women looking at a man's car and clothes, then turning around to comment with her female friends; but they don't have the decency to look the man in the eye and approach him or even to acknowledge him properly if he politely tries to approach them.
Most women in Portugal will not respect a woman who happens to have a girlfriend instead of a boyfriend.
But recently the Portuguese mentality has very rightly opened up and there are many new concepts being accepted in Portuguese life.
I had to divide me comment into two parts because of the number of its characters so; here's part two:
ReplyDeleteRecapitulating:
I'm a Portuguese man although I was fostered by an Irish family; I've spent my most of my life in Portugal. I'm a full supporter of gender equality.
Continuation:
The beauty of Portuguese women? I admit that I spot a pretty Portuguese woman now and again or, very rarely, a beautiful or a gorgeous one but; most Portuguese women are merely plane. Also I must say that nearly every single Portuguese woman I see everyday is walking around pussfaced as if she suffers from heartburn.
I'm not saying Educational quality standards and levels of demand placed upon students plummetted because there happen to be more women going to college today but, recently, acting teachers flunked basic official tests about many subjects; even Portuguese Language!
Also, men usually prefer to chose technical/professional schools in hopes to get a job either in Portugal or abroad because even college graduates have huge unemployment issues today.
Loyalty - I know most men are worthless and chase anything in a skirt, but money moves most Portuguese women. They get lax after marriage so their husbands look elsewhere for female attention, yet women complain mostly about the money they spend there. The recent crisis caused many divorces because when credit was easy to get and jobs were steady everyone lived well but when things crashed most couples divorced.
Precious few women truly forgive and don't forget. They shouldn't forget as they who don't learn History will repeat it and they who don't understand it will repeat its mistakes. Most Portugese women try to absolve themselves-the Catholic thing again-and say they forgive to feel like good people.
Portuguese people usually carry grudges until they can get revenge. Another reason for high divorce rates is that Portuguese people are learning how to vent out their issues and to quit anything that disturbs their inner peace.
Thanks for accepting my comment.

DeleteI met a woman at a local registry office near the village (aldeia) where I was born and I found her to be kind and beautiful---but I new better than to ask her out.
DeletePortuguese women are like any other women (materialistic) in many ways, but they seem to be less approachable.
I find Portuguese men on the other hand to be easier to talk to and more reasonable.
Foreign women who come to Portugal are in luck; Portuguese men are generally good all around people and Romantic at heart---more so than Portuguese women and more fun.
