For those of you who went with Jamie's agency... Which of his services did you utilize, why, and would you go with the same package again or change to another?
Which of his services did you utilizeI used his most expensive service where I was introduced to about 25 women in 3 days. He advertises to introduce you to 40 and he will definitely do that, but after you meet so many women (10, 15, 25), you need to start weeding out / focusing on some that you've already met before meeting more.
My 1st trip was about 31 days, and during the entire time I met 39 women. The lady who became my wife (#40) I was introduced to by phone first thru the agency after I was back in the states.
Why Because I was interested in finding a wife as efficiently as possible. I'm a romantic guy and single life is not for me. More than anything prior to selecting an agency, I was impressed with Jamie's introduction "system" and found it to be very efficient. Its very akin to being on that TV show "The Bachelor". The group introduction system puts you in front of 20-40 beautiful women within 3 days, based on your criteria, who are vying for your affection. What could be simpler (and more efficient) than that?
That sure sounds a lot more efficient than flying down to meet one woman, or flying down to flip thru agency book photos after you arrive, or setting up eight 1-hr. appointments with women and 3 of them don't show while you sit around and twiddle your thumbs, etc.
I hesitate to write this next part because I think I've given Jamie enough testimonial quotes to put on his website 
, but I owe this line of reasoning to those who are coming after me in their wife search...Many people balk at Jamie's "high prices", but yet a lot of guys spend a lot of money, making many, many trips sometimes over a period of several years before they even find someone they can get serious about (or spinning their wheels in dead-end relationships). The bottom line is, often, they are simply (apparently) not meeting enough women who meet their criteria. To quote Snooppuppy from gringos.com,
"When you have few choices you make poor choices"... or the other possibility is you know that the few choices you've seen don't quite fit what you're looking for. Jamie's system does an excellent and efficient job of solving these problems and/or speeding up the process of finding what you want.
At the time I think the cost was $1,275. An average ticket cost for me runs between $750 - $1,200. If I make 2 (2 x $750 = $1,500 on the low side) fruitless trips, I just paid for Jamie's service and then some. It just makes plain economic sense.
So is it cheaper to pay an agency "lifetime fee" of $100 - $500 and not find your wife-to-be for 3-5 years (i.e. 3-5 years paying for travel, lodging, international phone calls and dates in dead end relationships)? What confidence can you have in a "Marriage Agency" if you need a "Lifetime" membership? Whatever Jamie is charging (I think now its $1,375) pales in comparison to the lost money and time out of your life becoming a "chronic wife hunter" (Jamie's term in quotes, but my logic in the sentence).
I went to Colombia to find a wife. Not to collect airplane ticket stubs, hotel receipts, Colombian souvenirs, pesos / foreign currency to show my friends, etc. For those guys who are just looking for vacation spots with a plethora of beautiful women, with finding a wife being a
secondary priority, that is fine too if that's what they want. I'm certainly not passing judgment on them. Its just that I did not fit into that category.
Would you go with the same package again or change to another?I would definitely go with his "cadillac" service again, as opposed to what I would consider to be slower, less efficient methods. Although, it might be difficult for me getting another spousal visa approved at the moment... with my wife laying in the bed as I'm writing this
Photos of me and my wife can be seen in the planet-love general photo gallery RE: "Mrs. L4W".
NOTE: A very good friend of mine who I met in these forums found his wife thru one of Jamie's less pricey introduction methods. Ironically I was introduced to his wife-to-be on my first trip. They are now very close friends with my wife and me.
Disclaimer: Of course anyone can go to Colombia, be overwhelmed by a beautiful woman, propose within 24-72 hours. That's not what I'm advocating at all (although apparently even that works out sometimes per another PL poster, "DaveyRich"
). As anyone who's followed my posts knows, I advocate doing serious preparation prior to getting married. Aside from the obvious physical attraction/chemistry/compatability, stuff, primarily this constitutes asking (and answering) a lot of pertinent questions about each other's past, present, and future expectations... a good source for this info is
www.MarraigeBuilders.com and a book called
"Don't You Dare Get Married Until You Read This". I don't claim to have all the answers, I just claim to have asked some of the right questions
