Why some men feel no sexual interest in migrant women in Spain

Attraction to migrant women: testosterone or prejudice?

Does testosterone drop when a Latin American or African woman walks into the room? The question sounds absurd, and yet it is part of public discussion in Spain. Some men attribute their lack of interest to a supposed hormonal weakness; others, more prosaically, explain it by antiestéticar of the law or a poorly digested culture shock.

The hormonal argument as an excuse

The reasoning is as simple as it is suspicious: "I feel no attraction, therefore I have low testosterone". But when you break it down, other layers appear. Some interlocutors admit that Latin American or African women are objectively attractive, but that "their testosterone drops to zero" for reasons that have nothing to do with biology: antiestéticar of legal trouble (with explicit references to Spain's gender violence law), negative personal experiences or a stereotype of "problems x1000".

The cultural factor and beauty standards

Aesthetics also play a part. Against the Mediterranean ideal of the slender woman, the curves of many migrant women seem "too much" for some. Some compare the situation to driving an Opel Corsa and dreaming of a Seat León: used to modest things, one does not know how to handle a "luxury" perceived as out of reach. The conclusion is not hormonal, but one of social perception. In the end, what is being questioned is not attractiveness, but the very ability to appreciate it without prejudice.

Perhaps the problem is not testosterone, but the mirror: when these women are discussed, the conversation says more about the speaker than about them.
