Costa Rican
Women Are The Desire of Nicaraguan Men
The figures by the Tribunal Supremo de
Elecciones (TSE) reveals that more
Nicaraguan men are more likely to marry
Costa Rican women than Nicaraguan women to
marry Costa Rican men when the arrive in
Costa Rica, with a total of 12.515
Nicaraguan men marrying "ticas", while only
934 Nicaraguan women married "ticos" between
1950 and 2009.
A Nicaraguan sociologist Juan Carlos
Chavarría, writing for the El Nuevo Diario,
Nicaragua's leading print newspaper,
explained that Nicaraguan men arrive in
Costa Rica single and without commitment,
while the women leave behind children and a
significant other which to stay faithful to.
Costa Rican sociologist, José Carlos
Chinchilla, of the Universidad Nacional (UNA),
however, says that the reason is that more
Nicaraguan men come to Costa Rican than
Nicaraguan women, explaining the difference
in the numbers.
"The man is looking to settle here, is more
irresponsible and not attached to theri
children back in Nicaragua. The woman are
transitory, leaving children and partner
behind with an eye to returning",s aid the
Chinchilla.
The Costa Rican daily Al Día took a sample
response from a number of Nicaraguans on the
subject, who told reporter Franklin Arroyo
González, they marry for increased sexual
potency, protection from immigration and to
have a Costa Rican child, as some of the
reasons.
One man said Costa Riacn women are pretty,
while other say they don't like Costa Rican
woman because they are "too liberal", "like
to go out a lot" and "are bossy".
