A video posted on TikTok by the creator @srtcubanita on April 30 has sparked a debate about the behavior of Cuban men in Miami, recounting three negative experiences that her friends had with Cuban men in a single day.
The protagonists are a Colombian, a Nicaraguan, and a woman born in the United States, all of whom are hardworking and financially independent, who met during a night out that ended with three separate encounters.
The first incident involved a Cuban man driving a Corvette who, when invited to take them to the Amazónico restaurant, reacted with fury: “You’re going to ask me for that? You’re nothing but gold diggers, you’re useless, that’s disrespectful, what selfish women,” the creator recounted.
@srtcubanita responded ironically: "Anyone can have a Corvette around here; anyone can go and get a Corvette and start paying for it little by little. So, just because you have a Corvette doesn’t mean you’re the hottest thing since sliced bread."
The second case involved a man from Hialeah who was offended because the creator had mentioned his neighborhood of residence as informative data for her friend. "Hey, why did you say he lives in Hialeah? You just want to scam my money," the man retorted before blocking them.
The third incident happened that same night: a son of Cuban parents born in the United States told one of the friends, during their first conversation, that "the woman who is with me has to pay me fifty-fifty because that's how it is, because I'm newly divorced," and on top of that, he only offered to buy her a drink, leaving the other two friends with nothing.
"Cuban loves, please, sensitivity, sensitivity, as it is so lacking in tact. Then they complain that there are no women or that they don't get anyone and they go to Cuba," concluded @srtcubanita in the video.
The video did not arrive alone. The debate has been accumulating voices in the Cuban community of Miami for weeks. On May 7, Madame Lewis expressed her "deep disappointment" with Cuban men, whom she described as "princes" who "spend their days on social media chatting without contributing anything constructive" while women bear the economic and household burden. Her most quoted phrase was direct: "Cuban men are no longer useful."
Last Tuesday, Yaniris González rejected the 50/50 model in romantic relationships, arguing that it overlooks burdens that are exclusively female, such as childbirth, breastfeeding, and the double domestic workload, summarizing her thoughts with a question: "What did you want, a partner or a roommate?"
The phenomenon has concrete demographic roots: according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, 58% of Cubans who emigrated to that country in 2023 and 2024 were women, which has transformed gender dynamics within the community.
The Cuban influencer @azulina1oficial, with 1.2 million followers, had already warned on April 29 that being financially dependent on a man is "the worst mistake a woman can make," while in February, the Cuban @arielito.oficial sparked controversy by publicly rejecting being called a "princeso."
The creator Javiko La Doble C had already pointed out in January 2025 that "a great responsibility for this lies with us men because those women subsist solely and exclusively on the social and economic validation we provide them," a reflection that today resonates more strongly than ever in the Cuban community of Miami.
