Addendum to "Why Some Peruvians have Strange Opinions about Gringos" (Andrew)

On our trip to Tarapoto, we met another interesting “gringo” from the U.S. He told us that he had come to Peru for three reasons: “1. For Adventure, 2. To build a church, 3. To find a wife”.
Me: “How’s that going?”
Strange Gringo: “Pretty good, but the women are really aggressive here”
My guess is, that if you show up announcing that you’re from the US and are here explicitly to find a good wife (and a long-term meaningful relationship???...), you will probably attract a certain subset of the population. Good luck, strange gringo man, whoever you are.
