Its funny how Colombian women attributes are given to Spanish women here "curvy, sensual, great dancer, well dressed, feminine"
I've been to spain and they look to me more like German women "the don't wear make up, look as manly as possible because you're a feminist and a modern woman of the 21st century kind of thing"
what some of you are describing here "passionate, feminine, lady like, well dressed" it's more Colombian or Venezuelan women.
Like I said before, a Latino should be careful with his criticisms to Spaniards because at a certain point he will be criticizing himself and his own Latino people.
I am Colombian and if you see me in Europe you wouldn't imagine I am not European because I look white "I have dark blonde hair, greenish eyes but a more curvy Colombian style of body" but I can guarantee you all of my ancestors are Colombians.
I can trace my grandparents to the towns where they came from in Antioquia central Colombia, I am what Colombians call a Paisa" and I have nothing of Spanish people in me.
So how do you explain that? not that I am bashing Spain people, but I don't know of anyone in my family who came from spain, but I also don't know indians or blacks in my family either. "goes to show you not everyone who looks white has foreign origins, all my origins are paisa-colombian and I look white"

Show me your DNA results.
If there is one thing DNA testing has shown is that what's written on paper doesn't always matches what its actually in the blood. Antioquian Colombians are actually the Colombians that show the greatest percentage of their DNA originating in the Iberian peninsula, which for most people means Spanish. Not only that, but in genome testing companies like 23andme they even show a large number of Spaniards as cousins of most Colombians.
Most Colombians do have traces of African ancestry too. In fact, most Latinos do. You should see how many Latinos from Argentina/Uruguay/Chile are complaining at 23andme forums because their DNA results shows small African and Amerindian genetic input. Its actually hilarious because most of them thought they didn't had African or Amerindian input because there is no mention of that in their paper trails and they look very white caucasian. I still can't get my head around people that get angry for what's in their DNA and then they go into denial mode, as if that's going to change anything. LOL
Like I said before, show me your DNA test results. If you haven't had your genome sequence, try here and in a couple of months give us an update on your results: https://www.23andme.com
I will repeat it one more time, Latinos should be careful with criticizing the Spaniards because you may be criticizing many of your own ancestors whose blood made it possible for you to be alive today and your cousins with whom you share origin lineages with.
Dude I spent time traveling thru South America and most care about Spain as much the average American cares about England.
I am realizing old European colonial powers care more about their old colonial posts in the new world than the other way around.
I spent four months total around South America and not a single person ever talked to me about Spain, or even cared about Spain culture or traditions. To them Spain was just another country out there in the world, sort of like Americans view the UK.
I know that, but it doesn't changes the heavy Spanish influences in Latin American cultures and in their blood. People's ignorance about reality doesn't makes what they think true. Look at the Colombian I just responded to. He swares that the blue eyes and blonde hair in his family isn't of European origin. Its the craziest thing I have read in a while.
For example, most Latinos don't know that the dulce de leche is of Spanish origin or that carnivals were introduced by the Spanish, yet in every single Latin American countriea they have dulce de leche as a sweet 'native' to their countries and they all celebrate carnivals. The fact that most people are ignorant about from whom they inherited those things doesn't mean that those things are not of Spanish origin. These are only a couple of examples.

It was the past here...maybe 75 year ago, before nacionalcatolicismo and religion....so..in fact, those women in America are more Spanish...since they are not traumatized.

What does that has to do with anything discussed here?
Because Latin America or North America are not "unified conundrums" in which everybody belongs to the same ethnicity, as in Europe. There's no such thing as a Brazilian, Venezuelan, Mexican, etc. When you add the agreggates in your graphics, if you would the same in the US the result would be very similar since 30 to 40 percent of their population is not European.
