My wife doesn't let me date.

Dating is scary everywhere

Although I’m Tejano, I grew up speaking almost no Spanish. Many of my white friends knew more Spanish words than I did but I pushed myself to learn and put myself in situations where I had no other choice than to speak Spanish and now I’m almost fluent. My Spanish speaking employees don’t believe me when I tell them I started learning Spanish about 15 years ago

That was really good I would love to see an interview from a single woman. I am 57 female and single and worry that if I move permanently to mexico I won't find my soul mate.

Hello Brighton!! Thank you very much for this interview!! I am married, so not looking to date. But, there is a lot of great ancillary info in this clip. Also, this was a good class on communicating, regardless if dating or married or just want to go it alone. Safe travels!

Awesome video, as always. I enjoy your channel because you don't cover the same ol' topics. Keep up the good work. Thanks

First time to your channel & I thoroughly enjoyed it!!! TY

Background music is distracting.

Setting intentions and being specific works! Careful what you wish for. Happy for you Jake.

Awesome video!! He seems like a guy with a great attitude and full of life. Cheers Boyz!!

Perfect.... Thanks for the help!

I’m wondering if you ever take questions from viewers to ask your future interview videos. For example people who are working in real estate there they are seeing the prices go up on rent and I never hear them being asked if they are partly because of that. I remember the days when I could rent a great apartment right by the beach in Puerto Vallarta for $90 a month. That same apartment is now $350 a month it’s still tiny Very noisy bar across the street and sometimes way too windy to open windows. Did I caused the rents to go up there or was it all of the neighbors that moved in that were from the US Canada and Europe? I also wonder when I’m renting a place in Mexico if I’m displacing a local that has to move further to the fringe to be able to afford an apartment or house.

This was beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I agree.I just want to have fun. I am looking forward to visiting. ❤️

Excellent interview, you covered those topics well and Jake's experience is also inspiring. So, what'll it be, coffee or a margarita ?

love your videos..

@31:55 I practice Spanish by singing along with songs on KZfaq or other audio devices. I learned a lot of Spanish when I was younger, and I plan on leaving the us as soon as my passport arrives. Probably not La Paz ♨♨Thanks for this info. ¡hasta luego!

The exchange rate has moved my rent from being about $185 per month to $217 over the last two years! Not complaining at all!!

Saludos Jake..de UN Mexicano...viva..mexiusa....💪🇱🇷🇲🇽🌍🌍💪

Hi !! following you from..... France ! I was lucky enough to share 10 years of my life with una Chilanga !! so I'm bilingal in spanish (and english). I visited La Paz in2014 and I presume it changed a lot ! quick question for you : don't you ever get bored ? I mean : what are the different activities available around the Capital in order to always discover something new ?

What a great guy! I believe Jake had a very near death experience with his accident in Tahoe and it changed his life for the better! I am so happy for him! Do more of these type of interviews please! Thanks! 🙏

Great video but the background music track is kind of distracting. The interview info is great all on its own! 🙂

I am single and ready to spread my wings and move to Mexico. I’ve not done dating apps.

Brasil has that 5 to 1 money exchange too, as of now, life is very cheap here

How do you get started

@23:00 The word - atardercer - What does that word have to do with the Spanish word - tarde - evening? ¡Buenas Tardes!

Jake has a great attitude. It’s nice to see such an open minded person.

Nice interview. Wish his info was available to connect.

I am dating a Mexican American, and I fell in love with him. We are both in love. I agree its that easy.

My experience is radically different from Jake's since I'm not at the income level he's at and I moved to Puebla State in a colonia far more affordable than the rich gringo retirees' preferred living destinations. The cities/colonias in and around the area i live are far more humble and pure working class. I'd not recommend my neck of the woods to a person like Jake or the presenter of the video; upper-'middle class' or rich types need not apply here (parts of San Pedro/San Andres Cholula would be the exception; quite bougie friendly in those areas). Also, the rich retiree areas popular here don't seem like the authentic Mexico to my mind. They've been modified over time to better suit the rich gringo and are far more expensive to call home than other parts more inland where you get a much more real taste of Mexico, daily life, and the folks that live there. I never needed a dating app thank the gods; I ended up meeting and have been dating the aunt of one of my friends for a medium minute now. The dating/cultural rules are something you'd better learn with a quickness btw; you'll get told quickly when you screw up and the women are quite passonate with their expressiveness. My Spanish is decent for a gringo and it helps that the girlfriend doesn't speak english plus, in the colonia i live in and the colonia next to mine where i walk to play basketball most evenings/nights English is ultra-scarce if not non-existent. (The profanity/slang on the canchas whether it's basketból or futbol will crisp your ears if all you're familiar with is more of the polite textbook variety or limited tourist Spanish.)

Okay, now this should be interesting...who, from where shall I date??

CURIOUS why LaPaz vs the Yucatan ? Isn't the water warmer and clearer in Yucatan ? MX PESO is in the toilet today 17.099 - 1 us dollaar

How about don’t bring the “dating” confusing culture from US. Most ppl have bf and gf with the goal to marry. This is what scares me from US. All the confusion they have there w men and women “dating” I hope good women in Mex don’t get affected by confusing American men. American men “only what to have fun” 🤦🏻‍♀️

I’m near 70, I find Mexicans easier to talk to. Maybe because I lived in the Southwestern US, and hung out with Latinos. Come to think of it, most of my relationships have been with Latinos. I am not a gringo trying to “be Mexican”. I’m just used to the culture. Even in Europe, I met more men than I really wanted to. I had a Czech bf for my first venture, and they are more active in their letting you know they are interested. Not aggressive, they just let you know. American men my age go after barely adult women. And even if they don’t, they are overbearing and play too many mind games. Same with American women. I am LGBTQ. It’s different when you are bisexual/queer, but not too much

LATINAS are totally different, from Mexico to Peru to Chile to Argentina to Brasil Passionate, sexy and fun and serious Mexican women range from short and over weight (Indians) to white, tall with long dark hair, of Spanish decent

I have too much money to find true love in Mexico. Not willing to pay anyone's way...been there done that.

Adults cannot just learn vocabulary. You all need to learn Spanish,. You all must learn the verbs, at least. Once you learn how to use the verbs, you will be able to speak Spanish, not until.

Hopefully it does not become The Villages S/W. Seriously hopeful that Jake finds what he is looking for. Or better still it finds him. In my experience Once you stop or s l o w down looking for something that IS when you find it or it finds you. P n D

Don't date its terrible stress . Just have friends don't get fooled with the whole traditional crap that forces men to go above and bee on just be used as a meal ticket . Be you and respectful if she likes you she will like you for the real you. Be simple don't try too impress anyone. Learn the language make actual local friends that will look out for you. I'm mexican:American but live in Mexico i try not to stand out i speak very good Spanish so they cant tell that i speak English.just know female nature is universal so don't expect women to be way different from the ones in your country. They all have the same needs

Pues acuérdate del día exacto o te vas a meter en un problema 😅😅 mucha suerte!

Jake is a high adrenaline fisherman, correct? Brighton, can you DM me his contact info, I'll be there in 3 weeks. Thank you.

Regarding jokes, it's more than the language. It's the culture. Regarding ladies, men will nearly always prefer a younger one. That seems to be universal. Dating a Spanish speaker will definitely make it easier to learn the language as you are more motivated. Yes, practice!

You MUST make the effort to speak Spanish. That said...Mexicanas are very lovely.

I’m straight but I always wonder why they don’t seem to be any video interviews or discussions of same gender couples. You’ve had a few guests on that are male couples but they never seem to be anyone talking about what it’s like to be dating someone in Mexico if you’re not straight. Curious if there are any women or men you have interviewed that date the same gender. Asking out of curiosity and a few friends of mine are always pointing that out to me how straight most KZfaq discussions about Mexico are

I married twice at 27 and 31 to men 35 and 53. , and one daughter at 37. I did not lie marriage, so I divorced and left. #2, I just left, for I prefer to live alone. I married my own USA men.

As the saying goes: estas casado pero no capado..lol

If you like thickness; Mexico is heaven!

"is it scary dating in mexico?" Lol. Where isn't dating scary? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

expat? jajaja no! inmigrant!

Come on Jake. Woman that are white or black are very emotional as well.
