27 Aug 2008, 14:59Are Argetinos arrogant or not?I know this sounds kind of stupid - but in Brazil Argetinians are actually famous for being quite arrogant. Now this might be a prejudice, but I would really like to know how those of you that are living in Argentina see it. Is it true or not?

04 Sep 2008, 15:10I've been to BA and different places throughout Argentina and Chile. Even though, I have found differences between the two peoples, I haven't seen arrogance in either. Everyone seems to have been very nice to us and very accommodating. The only problems I think we had were that we are not Spanish speakers and there were some miscues but, other than that, I really like the countries and am looking forward to visiting Brazil someday.

08 Sep 2008, 21:11I think that most other Latin Americans do get the impression that Argentinians are arrogant because, well, they are ...
Most of them think that they are better because they are more 'European' than the other countries in South America, and many Argentinians have a xenophobic streak, especially towards Paraguayans, Peruvians and Bolivians. Basically, they consider themselves to be the most beautiful, most cultured people of South America.
I get the impression that they also have some resentment towards Brazilians and Chileans because of how those countries have become more prosperous in recent years, while Argentina has suffered economically.
Doesn't anyone have a different opinion?

Hi, as an argentinian I would like to provide an answer to this question. I believe that there are two argentinas, one is Buenos Aires and the other one is the rest of the country.
Buenos Aires is a very big city, with a good education level and cultural life, but it's also a bit of a chaos. The people that live in Buenos Aires may be rude, unpolite or arrogant; but don't worry it's not all of them, you will also find a lot of friendly people that are glad to have visitors from other countries.
The rest of the country is not such an urban mess as Buenos Aires and you will find that they are the most friendly of all.
This is a very broad view and in general the argentinians are not bad people or stupid arrogants, but it's likely you will meet a few arrogant or unpolite people that will make you mad. Just remember they are more notorious but they are a few pricks and there are people like those on every country.

21 Sep 2009, 19:11Tienes rason, Valeria. Yo vivo en el extranjero hace tiempo ya... viajo mucho y bastante seguido a la Argentina.. te dire una realidad que es cruda... si el "ARGENTINO" fuera como tu... que lindo pais seria... me entiendes... Se nota que eres humilde.. inteligente... y con sabiduria... gran parte de ello creo lo es por tu profesion... y porque eres de la provincia...but it is sad... people around the world believe that "ARGENTINIANS" are "arrogant"... "knowing all" ... de ahi mi proxima pregunta.. ?? porque estan como estan..?? te soy honesto.... el pais peor de lo que esta no puede estar... el problema esta en la gente.. piensalo?? y me dices.. han perdido en estos ultimos anos... la esencia basica del ser humano ... que es el RESPETO.. el ser humano ya no se respeta entre si.. las cosas que he visto en mi ultimo viaje por television ... la vulgaridad que existe... no recuerdo antes ...que lastima..
Yo viajo seguido a MZA.. si nos mantenemos en contacto... de Cordoba estamos "aisito nomas"..
Suerte.. fecitaciones con lo tuyo...
No tengo nada en contra de nadie... mi flia vive en ARG... asi y todo sostengo mi opinion.
Ahora le respondere a Heli M..
Ciao.. Ciao.. suerte y hasta la proxima. AA -
Heli ,Manuela quiere tambien saber.?? Who are you talking about.. I suspect u r " criollo'.. In any event.. that's what the forum is all about.. this got nothing to do what we are.. or who we are.. or where are we from..?? It's got to do with being able to accept somebody else opinion..
Veo un poco de agrecion en tu respuesta... y es a lo que me refiero en mi comentario a Valeria..
And I also have to disagree with your statement of FREEDOM... etc.. etc.. when people get kill for no reason... kids... couples... anywhere at any time... day .. nite.. in the house .. in the public.. That's not freedom.. hermano..!! Piensalo..
Suerte Si y hasta la proxima..
Es mi opinion.. no lo tomes a mal... sometimes la " verdad" ofende ... lo importante es que sigue siendo verdad.!! y nos deberia ayudar a refleccionar.

12 Oct 2009, 10:09Você pode pensar male dos argentinos. Mais você que podem pensar as pessoas do Mundo do Brasil? Muitos podem pensar que Brasil é un pais de favelas. É un exemplo.
Os preconceitos nunca sâo boas.
Un saudade.

Guys,
Stop argument about that, I'm german brasilian and I'm arrogant.
And i don't think it is any problem about be arrogant, that just mean u r proud enough about ur self.If u r not proud about ur self who is going to be for u?
so, I lived in america for a year and they r so arrogant but doesn't mean that they r very kind people.
U have to look for the good stuff about the people not the bad part of the person.
We have to be good for close people, like friend, colleague, partners, family relative, or who pay our expense.
So let go that. Let the argentinian be who they are, cause that makes the way they are.
And be to nice like us (brazilian), doesn't mean that brazilian people are sincere about their feelings for u, so.
That's it.

03 Nov 2009, 07:16I enjoyed the discussion because in Egypt we might be close to the European and Asian Culture but most of us know nothing about Latin America except football and Communism ,
I agree on the concept, Maria but I don't agree with using the word "Arrogant'
"Arrogant = Self-important + showy+ Stupid " and that kind of person couldn't work in team very well, couldn't communicate with people in a good way and he is not welcomed from people most of times, he is demanding respect not gaining respect
we may use another word "Self-assured" , I might be self-assured , having self confidence and proud of my self and my country but I'm open to deal with different kinds people even if they are not in the same level without showing off, consequently I gain their respect and I'm not underestimated ,,, I think that is what u mean,,, correct me if I'm wrong
The arrogant person might be sincere but you don't feel comfortable when u deal with
The Self-assured person might be sincere too, but u feel happy and safe when u deal with

that is it ,, Cheeeer!!!!! -
Y la pregunta es ¿Si tan mal te caen los argentinos...a que vas?
Ya se. Tu madre te ha dicho toda tu vida que eras bonito, guapetón y simpático. Y resulta que los argentinos no te ven así. En fin....

los argentinos somos un pais de vanguardia absoluta lo que recien pasa en europa aca lo teniamos hace 50 o 60 años y eso no es ser arrogante , sino que es decir la verdad , somos demasiado humildes que teniendo un pais que es una maravilla nos pasamos criticando al pais y a nosotros mismos en vez de criticar a la diarreica mierda extranjera que es lo que tendriamos que hacer . un consejo critiquemosnos menos y alabemonos mas que esa es la justa realidad . no se olviden que un pais tan maravilloso como argentina , no existio ni existe ni existira jamas
