Have you ever fallen in love with a Cuban woman? If so, some of these situations may feel very familiar to you. The Cuban TikToker Joe Torres (@joetorrxs) has shared a funny video in which he lists five things that, according to him, anyone in a relationship with a woman from the island will eventually discover, some of them "the hard way."
With a lot of humor and without losing sight of the affectionate nature of Cuban women, the content creator published on TikTok his unique list of "5 things you learn the hard way with a Cuban", a video that has sparked numerous reactions on social media.
The first surprise is the volume of voice. “He’s not shouting, he’s talking to you, and you’re wondering how it will sound the day he screams,” jokes Torres, referring to that energetic way of expressing oneself that many associate with Cubans.
In fourth place is the determined character of Cuban women. "When a Cuban woman sets her mind on something, there's no one who can change her opinion. You might be absolutely right, but you've forgotten a small detail: she has already made her decision," she laughs.
The third characteristic is sincere honesty. According to the TikToker, asking a Cuban for their opinion can turn into quite the experience: "You ask them how your clothes look, and you end up questioning every decision you've made in your life."
But if there is a phrase that, according to Torres, should raise a warning for anyone with a Cuban partner, it is “do whatever you want”. Although it may seem like an invitation to decide freely, the creator jokingly warns: “That is not freedom of choice, that is a test with only one correct answer.”
For the first spot, reserve one of the characteristics she likes the most: the peculiar way of showing affection. "A Cuban can send you to hell and prepare you a plate of food in the same conversation," she comments, summarizing that blend of temperament and tenderness that she describes in her video.
And although for much of the recording he jokes about relationships with Cuban women, Torres ends with some heartfelt words: "The Cuban woman: a strong character but also a huge heart. And believe me, they are worth it."
The video has sparked numerous reactions among those who identify with the situations described and those who recognize behaviors of their own partners in them.
It's not the first time that romantic relationships with Cuban women have become the focus of humorous videos. In July 2024, another TikToker shared his advice for those who have a Cuban partner, among which one stood out particularly: “Be patient.”
In February 2025, Cuban resident in Miami Yaisy Vega also amused thousands of internet users by warning that one should "think twice before falling in love with a Cuban."
Joe Torres, for his part, often shares content about the cultural differences between Cuba and the United States, many times alongside his American girlfriend. In one of his previous videos, he taught her some typical Cuban expressions, such as "háblate tanque," "no me des muela," and "esto está en candela," and joked that his partner was already a full-fledged "cubagringa."
This time, the TikToker wanted to involve his followers and hear about their own experiences. "Men who are with a Cuban woman, what is it that you still haven't managed to understand? And you, Cuban woman who are watching me, let me know in the comments what I missed mentioning in this video," he asks at the end of the recording.
