on the list of what I am trying to avoid in a guy, he is latin

Portugal and Mexico are not all that similar culture wise - if that's a worry.
Different places. Different languages.
One is in Europe - The other in North America.

It's true that they are both "Latin".

But then again Britain, Australia, Canada - US - are all English-speaking.. But I would not venture to place them all in the same basket culturally.

I think avoiding PhD students in general - is exaggerating. One person could be doing their PhD in medicine, another in history and yet another in animal studies.
I think it's important to have things in common in a relationship. So I would only 'avoid' those PhD students who are studying something you find uninteresting.

younger than me

This is a tricky one. Age may or may not be a factor. I think you should decide after you get to know the person a little. Some people are very mature at an early age.

In any case - if you want to avoid picking the wrong guy, I'm not sure those are the things you should be avoiding. You could just as well meet a guy who is your age or older, aussie, and not a PhD student - who could treat you badly.
