In Hollywood, people have more sex appeal if, in their native language, the word for love is 'amor' or 'amore' or [[Everything Sounds Sexier in French|'amour']]. We don't call them "Romance languages" for nothing.<ref> though the reason is more that they're derived primarily from Latin, the language of the Romans, than that they are inherently romantic. ''But that explanation isn't very romantic!''</ref> Latin men are hotter than jalapeños and usually [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]], and [[Spicy Latina|Latin women]] melt butter at a five kilometer radius with their [[Femme Fatale]] aura. Plus there's dancing. There's always dancing.

The [['''Latin Lover]]''' was originally from Spain or Italy, but has expanded to include Puerto Rico, Cuba, Brazil, and other Central and South American countries. Mexicans are usually not considered exotic enough for Americans, but they can also fall under the trope if handsome and smooth-talking enough.

* Played for Laughs in a Dutch [[McDonald's]] comercial as well. A woman says goodbye to her [[Latin Lover]]. The Dutch pride themselves on being able to speak a lot of languages. The woman thinks she understands Italian too. She does not. He tells her that he loves the fact that she paid a lot of stuff for him and that he is glad that she leaves. She tells him: "Oh dear, I love you too," in English. Then the ad proceeds to say you could better buy a Italian hamburger than go to Italy.

* Silent-era actor Rudolph Valentino is considered one of the American [[Ur Example|Ur Examples]]s, due to his sex appeal and large number of fangirls.
