Manda's first trip to jamaica sept 2011

[TizzyATX]

I was just wondering about that...how the jamaican girls feel towards us. Didn't get much feel for it while I was there simply becuase i didn't get to interact with as many JA females. The few I did talk to were super sweet but then again it wasn't in that kind of setting...and I was buying their jewelry. lol

[ohliz]

Most J'can younger women I've been around outside of tourist areas have not been at all intimidated by me, lol...I can barely hold my own with them in terms of looks, style, clothes...I am a bit older...a few are friends...all have been perfectly polite to me in any case. I'm speaking of Kingston parties and clubs.

Overall I have 2-3 Jamaican female friends who are my own age.

And just FYI Jamaican women come in all shades, black, white, and many shades of red, yellow and brown....

I can't really discuss this on a wider scale than my own experience because I've only been one time however I would assume that in a metro area like Kingston it may not be such a strange thing to see a white tourist female than it might be in the Santa Cruz mountains although I'm positive I'm not the only one lol I think that these girls whether it be Jamaican or any nationality were college girls and so they are clique-y and young. They also were on a 11pm curfew from what I heard so I'm sure that me being an uknown white female tourist didn't help not that anyone was rude to me in any way it was just a vibe that I"m sure probably threw them off too. Afterall I showed up with 3 males that didn't attend their college.

P.S I just have to say that I absolutely love the discussions that take place after some of my posts! They are great keep it going, plus it gives me more time to write the next day lol

We are waiting Amanda keep it going please. :-)

Haha, good point Manda....I guess girls are girls are girls...no matter where you go. Young clique'ish girls should be expected at any college party...anywhere. lol I've gotten that same out of place feeling at parties right here in my hometown.

I'm really enjoying your thread btw

Let's face it not many Jamaican girls have an appreciation for pretty white girls at there parties outside the tourist areas where they get paid to be near us.[/QUOTE]
Shelly, Oh liz is right-Jam.girls come in all kinds of beautiful colors..But i get what your saying...But "paid to be near us" I think I know where your going with that-but don't think you should say that as a blanket statement..No, not all Jam women hanging out at the tourists areas are "paid women"...

Ummm, no comment.

[shellyk]

Oh lord no no no that wasn't what I meant at all. I meant as in Bartending, working the stores, the resorts, where they have to be nice to us to keep food on their tables and keep a job. Many and not ALL I'm sure Jamaican women ages app. 20-30 see us as competition or as someone who thinks they are better. Also the amount of attention the tourist women get from Jamaican men does irritate many girls.
Meant nothing more or different.

Loving It and wow oh wow do I know exactly that un nerving feeling you felt , been there many times!! Let's face it not many Jamaican girls have an appreciation for pretty white girls at there parties outside the tourist areas where they get paid to be near us.

I got what shellyk was saying. I think sandy-girl took it out of context.

OK ...Shelly I get you girl.....Perfect example how things written and how one interprets can be totally different...But regardless, everyone should be able to have their own opinion...
