What are Chilean women like?

What to know about Chilean woman before meeting them? What are the main benefits of dating a Chilean woman? What are the most important Chilean woman personality traits you need to be aware of? We’re going to answer all of your questions regarding Chilean women dating right now. Let’s start with the top 3 facts about these ladies and their character traits.

• Family-centered. Their families are incredibly important to them. The family plays an extremely prominent role in Chilean society and when we say “family” we actually mean an extended family. The family members often visit each other, help each other, and put the family’s interests above their own interests.
• Traditional. It’s one of the most interesting Chilean women traits, and if you’re wondering how Chilean women differ from American women, this is probably the #1 answer to this question. They are a bit more nurturing, sweet, supportive, passive, and modest than ladies from the United States.
• They often call themselves “Los Ingleses de Sudamerica” (“English of Latin America”), and that’s probably the best phrase to describe Chilean people. They are not like Brazilian, Colombian, or Argentinian women. Chile is like an island surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and the Andes—it’s isolated from the neighboring countries, and this leads to certain consequences. Its culture is a bit more reserved (or should we say “a little less extroverted”?) than other Latin cultures, Chileans are more punctual and less talkative than other Latin people, etc.

Of course, not all Chilean women are reserved and family-oriented because each person has their own character and peculiarities. However, these 3 characteristics closely describe most Chilean women.

5 interesting facts about Chilean women

• Chilean women prefer to solve relationship problems instead of divorcing immediately. As a result, Chile has one of the lowest divorce rates in the world! But it’s not only the desire of Chilean women to solve relationship problems, of course. Another reason is that divorce was frowned upon not long ago (even in the 1990s) and that there is a practice of legal separation, which is pretty common in this country.
• There is a stereotype about South Americans who have large families with more than 3 children. Well, this might be true for some of them, but not for the majority of Chilean families. The total fertility rate in this country is only 1.6 children per 1 woman (exactly like in the US).
• It’s interesting that young women in Chile don’t rush into marriage. The mean age at first marriage for Chilean women is 27.4 years old—it’s one of the highest results in South America.
• The mean age of childbearing is 29.4 years old, and we clearly see the pattern here! Chilean ladies obviously prefer to pursue higher education and become stable in a career before they have kids.
• The female labor force participation rate is pretty low here: only 44.17% of Chilean women are active in the labor force. It’s one of the lowest rates in the region, but this surely doesn’t mean that Chilean women prefer to be stay-at-home wives and mothers. We can’t say that Chilean females are “too traditional”—this country has a good gender equality index, and they even had the first female president not long ago (2006-2010, 2014-2018).

How to meet a Chilean woman?

Every man who wants to meet Chilean women can go two main ways:

• Offline dating. Everything looks simple: you book a ticket to Santiago, go there, and then, you start approaching women on the streets, in nightclubs, or on Tinder. These women are passionate lovers, very flirty and open-minded, and society views one-night stands pretty casually. These women like foreign men, so technically, your chances are quite high.

The main problem here is that you can’t find a Chilean wife offline. You can find a girl who will be interested in a hook-up, but something more serious? No way. It’s also not the cheapest option—you’ll pay at least $1,500 for 7 days in Santiago, which is everything but cheap. If you are good at picking the girls up, if you speak Spanish, and if you want to pay at least $1,500 for some one-night stands in Chile, this is a good opportunity for you. But if you don’t want to spend that much or want to find something more serious, then you need to try dating websites.

• Online dating sites. There are thousands of hot Chilean girls who want to meet a foreigner. Lots of them have serious intentions, and almost all of them speak English quite well. You can meet most of these hot Chilean women on Latin dating sites. These websites are not free to use, but they cost around $100-$200 per month, which is much more affordable than a trip to Chile. Other than that, these sites—we’re talking about trusted and reputable ones—often have ID/video verification tools that make them as safe and secure as possible.

So, if you are adventurous, into traveling, and easily meet on the street—you can try offline dating. However, online dating sites will be the perfect solution for those who plan to meet a Chilean woman fast and cost-effectively.

Process of dating a Chilean woman online: All you need to know

If you’ve never met Latin women or other foreign ladies online, you probably need a simple step-by-step guide on how to start dating them online. This guide is available right here.

Do’s and don’ts of dating a woman from Chile

So, how to succeed when it comes to dating a Chilean woman? Chilean brides are different from women you met before, and you can’t deny this. But the good news is that there’s nothing too complicated about dating them. Read the top 6 rules below, and you’ll understand how to succeed on a date with any Chilean girl!

P.S. We won’t talk about basic rules like “look your best,” “pay for the date,” “be romantic,” etc. These rules are important in every country—it’s not a Chilean-only thing.

Do’s

• ✅ Be ready for emotions. Being emotional is one of the most prominent and famous Chilean woman characteristics, so you need to put some effort into making everything work perfectly. Be a good listener, do not dismiss her feelings, watch your words, and help her when she’s upset. Or leave her alone when she’s upset; you’ll understand it later.
• ✅ Be ready for lateness. Yes, Chilean girls are probably the most punctual girls in South America. But even though their culture is different, they are still Latinas, so they still have that Latino Standard Time issue (a gap of 15-30 minutes between when they say they will be somewhere and when they actually are). Don’t get mad at your Chilean girl because of lateness. You can’t fix this anyway.
• ✅ Be exclusive right away. You can’t have many Chilean girlfriends if you’re looking for something serious. They are very loyal and dedicated, and the concept of dating multiple people is not that common in Chile. In fact, it’s considered cheating here, like in most countries.

Don’ts

• ❌ Don’t be overconfident or too masculine. Yes, these women love it when a man is confident, and if you act weak, this will be a turn-off for them. But being overconfident is surely a red flag and a warning sign. The point is, only a few countries in the world don’t have sexual abuse and domestic violence problems. Chile is not one of these countries, so it’s obvious that Chilean girls want to find a man who will respect them and treat them as equals—that’s what they can’t get from assertive and “macho” Chilean men.
• ❌ Don’t expect them to be incredibly open right away. Yes, Chilean ladies are more open-minded, talkative, and even flirty than most Western women, but they are still more “cold” and reserved than other Latinas. If she looks a bit reserved on the first date, don’t worry about it. It’s not about you, it’s about their culture.
• ❌ Don’t try to buy them. Even if we’re talking about poor women or rural women whose whole family makes less than you, this still doesn’t mean you can impress them with your income, house, or car. The point is, the majority of Chilean girls will consider it weird if you try to brag about money, and those who will be impressed, well… You are probably not looking for that kind of relationship.

How to bring your Chilean girlfriend to the US?

Dating Chilean women is 100% legal—you can do it online or offline; it doesn’t matter. What’s more, you can also bring a Chilean girl to the United States: in 2019, for example, 74 married women from this country entered the US on a K-1 visa! Here’s a short step-by-step guide on bringing your Chilean wife to the United States (technically, it’s the bride, not the wife, because you’ll only be able to get married after getting a visa).

• First, you’ll need to file Form I-129F (petition for visa) with USCIS
• Then, your bride will complete the DS-160 form online (visa application)
• After that, she’ll need to attend the visa interview, where she’ll have to prove your relationship is real and bona fide

When it’s done, she’ll be able to enter the US, and you’ll have to get married within 90 days after her arrival.

I've been to 33 countries, and I'm going to expand this list; I was pleased to date more than 100 ladies from other countries while traveling (not bragging; maybe just a little), and I'm pretty experienced in both building relationships and understanding cultures different from my own. I love having fun, exploring new places and cultures, and helping people who are as interested in international relationships as I am.
