I'm seeing alot of positive reviews and testimonials from Jamie's agency. However, most of those blogs,forums, and comments were when Jamie's website in its prime. Now it seems there's no recent activity on his site. Is this normal or a warning sign?

Fathertime's posting about legit - yes Jamie's site is a legit business, but it doesn't mean you are guaranteed to get a woman from his site.  Yes, the ladies from photo profile are updated but some of the photos have been there quite a while.  Perhaps if you are interested in some particular women, you can ask for update photo

Ahhh I see thanks for pointers Gato4! That's why I need advice from you guys! One question though, would anyone purchase Jamie's personal matchmaking service? Seems way too much unless I'm guaranteed a future wife.

If I were you, I wouldn't spend on $9,900  (only if you earn as much as Warren Buffett, Lionel Messi, etc).   I haven't seen anyone using this services let alone whether they are successful or not.   All I know that many men have purchased the $1,475 Romantic Tour with mixed results.  Some of the men who failed to get the girl after using the services, mainly because of their egos - focusing only on the hottest girl !!!

Have you spent a few months on the major on-line sites, getting a feel for all the games and scams, but hopefully (and it does take time) finding a few ladies who are of enough interest to consider taking a trip to visit? Hooked up with things like Skype, Viber, Whatsapp etc?

My first trips weren't productive in finding the 'one' but I didn't and don't regret them a bit. Time and money can be constraints I understand, but if you let a 'shoestring mentality' effect your thinking too much, you may find yourself feeling like you're hanging from one.

To tell you the truth, I just started looking at a lot of Latin marriage agency and most of them looks fake judging from the too good to be true pictures of Latin ladies. So far I haven't gotten my feet wet joining those online sites and I feel like it's going to be a waste of time. That's why I asked which Latin agency us legit so I can put all my resources,time, energy on that one site. Although I do like Jamie's site and I like to see more sites like his..... And how do you hook up with Latin ladies with those apps you mentioned?

MY mother once told me, if you want the best you gotta aim high! Now I would LOVE to have the hottest Latin wife on my side with beautiful children. I'm going to be realistic and say I do like to have that option but I'm flexible and want a wife material not found here in the USA. Guys the last woman I had was just the last straw wanting alternative marriage.

Well if you can get some ladies in front of you, that is when you will be able to decide who to put time/resources into.  I'd go with whatever method you like to get those ladies in front of your face. At that point, if you are capable enough, you can start deciding what is real, and what is phony.  There are obviously a lot of variables, and if you haven't been to South America prior to this, you can take a trip or two, and you will begin to get a feel for things and the process you are considering undertaking. Taking a concrete step is worth a lot.

From what's been posted here, I gather Jamies site seems to get the most favor and most of  the guys who ended up making unwise choices were fellows who often were advised by Jamie himself to reconsider their choice, but didn't. Sounds like the guy lays out the blueprint to the mine fields pretty well, whereas the others may be inclined to sell you a bill of goods and tell you what they think you want to hear.

You may not always hear what you want to here either, but you can't beat the price.

Not being intent on finding the hottest woman you can bring back is wise. One of the reasons I waited 4 years after meeting my wife before asking for her hand was I kept saying to myself "Too cute, too young. too well educated--it won't last". I got extremely lucky and we've been together about ten years. But that odds of that happening are like mega ball lottery tickets.

At the risk of sounding crass, the women you might consider a 7 or and 8 in the looks dept. will blow 99% of the USA women off the chart once they're here and you look around again.

What's important is how well screwed on her head is. Otherwise, you may be in this same boat again before too long. Don't get blinded by a sweet smile and a nice rack.

Buying the most expensive racehorse doesn't necessarily mean it will win the Triple Crown!   I would suggest you to test out cheaper route http://www.latinamericancupid.com where you will experience many 'bad' girls and also few genuine girls.  By visiting LAC, you will be playing Stock Market game where the prices are always up and down.  You'll be looking for a bull girl where you might get a bear girl. 


Most, almost all of the experienced members, including myself, here have experienced receiving from bad women in different reasons.   


When you are ready and feeling more confident, you can go to Jamie's site

 I used Jamie's agency for the first time back in Jan of this year. Met over 30 women during my trip. Came back communicating with two that had good potential. They were pretty good but not quite what I was looking for. I returned again in May and met a handfull on the second trip. Once again I came away with two possables. One girl although great could not get my dark sence of humor. The second girl and I are currently doing quite well and I was back to visit her in August. She had joined the agency shortly before my second trip and I was the first guy she met so she was a bundle of nerves at the first meeting but she relaxed soon enough. You can read about that in my trip reports. If you use Jamie's agency and his accomidation and return within one calender year and stay at his place again you do not have to pay the introduction service again. On my trip in august I rented an appartment in strata 6 that was an absolute steal price wise and will use it again when I go back.


 Jamie does do what he says he will do on his Website
 And works pretty hard to get you the girls you want to meet. There will always be flakes and time wasters and some just looking for dinner and drinks. He can't control all of it all of the time but he does give girls the boot for bad behavior. He removed two from the site when I was there in May.


 If you have reasonable expectations and are a decent guy you can do well with time and putting in some effort to sort through all the ones that don't make the cut. And when I say reasonable expectations I mean a 60 year old guy going after 20 year old girls. It is not the cheapest route going to the agency but it is of value if you are living a busy life and don't have the time for all the websites and having to sort through hundreds of chick's to get a few dates that might not go anywhere once you meet them in person.


 Good luck in whatever you decide to do in your quest.

Thanks for the the advice! I'm still a newbie when it comes to looking for a wife outside of my home country. I've read yours and other members trip reports to Colombia ain't easy as it seems. That being said, I can still look for women here in the USA but what I want is a wife that will be a feminine and traditional. If I'm going to find one in Colombia, I rather that she be the one than going through all the fluff,flakes,time,money, and energy. I think for the time being that I'll settle for some Colombia dating website to get the feel for the women overseas but don't know which is better. Then I'll check out Jamie's agency then.

 Well at this point in time you have almost unlimited options to meet women with all the online sites now days. That is the one advantage you can get to hundreds of women. The only issue is not meeting in person well at least until you make a trip. So as you are probably aware of you won't get face to face interaction or the subtle clues with body language ECT what the girl is really like. I would say that you probably know that going in. So you will spend money either way in making a trip. As far a feminine and traditional in a woman in Colombia goes, from what I have seen so far there are some with traditional values but that is changing perhaps not quite as fast as in other countries noe the less but it is happening. I do find the women much more feminine then our western socity,there are always exceptions but for the most part it is refreshing to a point.


 Are you looking for a girl that wants to stay at home in the housewife role? Or would you prefer that she also works some too? You do not have to answer on this as it is your business. But what you are looking for got me thinking about a conversation I had my my girl reciently. She said that she would like to be able to work because she did not want to be a burden to me financally ( her exact words). To me it does not matter either way as there are no money issues if she wanted to stay at home. In that token though I think she would in time get bored just being at the house most of the time.

 While family and upbringing will be the biggest determining factors in what she's like and how that corresponds to what you're both looking for, so does where they live, to an extent.

This is a numbers game and the greatest number of women are in the biggest cties. That said, there's something to be said for trying to find women who if they're not 'raised and living in the country side,' that maybe they were and then moved to the city for college and or a career.

Andy Lee has made mention of the delightful differences between the city and more rural area women, life on a Finca and so on.

In my wife's family, she and her siblings all knew that if they did well academically  and demonstrated that they
 could handle the pace and temptations of city life, that ---and I'm talking about the Philippines here, so your mileage may vary -- but at age 16, they got to leave the farm and go to the city, 3 hours away and attend college.

After ten years in the USA, she still asks for permission to go get milk at the store, to order anything on-line, to go to another lady's birthday party, etc. She makes fairly good money on her own, but even if it's a stick of lipstick, she asks, including if I am OK with the color. 999 out of 1000 times, I say 'yes' and she knows I will, but that provincial, country, farm raised protocol is strong still,  even in the USA--- the land of temptation--where even some women from similar backgrounds, do 'lose their way/s.' When she goes home, she asks me for a 'spending allowance' even though I know she'll inevitably ask for more--she can't help but to indulge her family a bit, and she knows that I actually encourage that to an extent. But for every one percent we give to her family, and it's not a whole lot, I get ten back in love and respect.

We do not socialize that much and from what I've seen, most 'good girls gone bad'---especially foreign women, lose their way because they're overly influenced by so called 'friends' they've made.

Not only can 'friends' change things, but if she loses respect for you, it's all but over, cept for the crying. It's awful, because it can be a 'now you have it, then you don't' scenario and once it's gone, it typically never really goes back to how it was. I am no choir boy by a long shot, but I know that just as there are things I need to do to remain the "Alpha Male', there's things I must not do, if I expect to maintain my status.

But hey, I hope for the best, but if it all went to hell tomorrow,  I'd try and find a similar woman--traditionally raised with a good male leader/father, a bit country, but also educated in and able to handle the city. Conservative. Easy to say though, and one never knows what choices we'll get. My wife actually misses the city life, pace and maybe in a few years, I'll quit my job and we'll move to Atlanta or some such place, as I think we both might like it. But then again, I need to 'be careful what I wish for' because just as her parents knew, the 'big city, bright lights' life does involve a lot more temptations and distractions.....

Latinas aren't really the same in this way.

[robert angel]

Latinas aren't really the same in this way.

Tis a pity. She's got brains and free will galore. If I did or asked her to do something ridiculously stupid or unsafe, she'd balk, but other wise, I get auto default. Asian thing, I suppose, but it's not like she's some blimey lemming, for crying out loud. I think she just finds it easier, makes her actually feel more free, to let me make all the decisions.

I can't imagine many other places in the world where a woman could by age twenty (OK, a month short of 21 y/o) earn two, five year degrees, one in Computer Software engineering, the other in Computer Hardware engineering. And every credit transferred here in the USA. (her religion and Asian history credits did not)

Hell, my son is now 18 y/o and at the University of Georgia, where the median entry GPA this year was 3.9. The Professor asked HIM to teach the class, to prep them for their Mid Term exam. In high school, he used to delicately point out the teacher's Math mistakes and also politely proved one of the UGA Professors incorrect on a problem, securing a perfect 100%.

Guess who helped him figure out his most difficult problems/equations in high school? My wife---his Step Mom. He probably wishes she played Chess too, but he he was President of the Chess Club that won the State Championship. Twice! (But maybe if she played Chess too, he'd be a Chess Grandmaster by now, LOL)

Mine asked me last week if it was ok to go back to university at night for a few semesters to increase her education. I was thinking that I was gonna get hit with the can you pay for it sales pitch but that was not the case. She is paying it herself, she was asking me if it was ok so I could work my next trip timing when she was between semesters. Said it would not be fair to me for her to work all day leave work and go to class and have only an hour or two per evening to spend time together on week days. So I was in the beginning cringing about being asked for money and at the end of the conversation I was smiling about her being thoughtful of my my time when I am there.

This is definitely something to think about. I means I was raised in rural area once before my family moved to a big city. Had always something to do and to learn. If the ladies in Colombia living in the rural areas can't learn or always have a family member doing the "work" for them then that tells me she can't do things on her own or even raise a good family. Seen too many dysfunctional families in the USA every day in my life. Ugh......

Now if by any chance my "future" Latina wife ask me that question I'll be giving her this look.
 

[robert angel]

Now if by any chance my "future" Latina wife ask me that question I'll be giving her this look.
 

In all fairness, I should say that the 'dynamic' has changed at times over the years. Now sometimes she says/asks "Do you mind if I.........?, rather than a more straight up, formal "'can I?" But this morning, a friend who's moving out of state texted her, asking if she could meet her for lunch. She did ask for permission more formally. Without hesitation (as usual) I said "yes", adding "She's a nice person and you won't be seeing her for a while". She  expressed mixed emotions, lamenting that she really wanted to stay home, do laundry, clean the house and then just relax on her 'day off'.

MGB,

He has always been intrinsically motivated, very focused and determined to 'do it himself'.To be honest, he didn't need much help in Math and it was basically when it was obvious that a problem was bugging him, taking longer to solve than usual, that he even let my wife step in, as your could hear and feel his exasperation. That said, the way they were/are taught Math in her country is different, and that probably expanded his thinking, giving him additional skills.  Very different mind than his brother or me, who once you get to decimals and fractions, we're lost.

Then again his older brother and I find writing to be a bit easier and both of the boys are extremely musically inclined, but the younger is actually fiercely competitive, pretty much used to winning first chair, alto sax, where my older son likes to 'jam', playing guitar with bands, pretty much anyone. The rest of us don't play any instruments. My younger son wouldn't let me help him with essays and reports, the older son leaned on me at almost every turn. One son is very self disciplined, the other rather bohemian. But both are very different from any one else in the family. Funny how that goes sometimes.

What's funny is the other night, we were having dinner at home--just my wife and I, marveling at how ten years have flown by, wondering where it all went. To put it in perspective, I asked her: "Remember when he lost a tooth and wrote a letter to the Tooth Fairy, asking: 'Would it be OK if you left the money and still let me keep my tooth?'---He actually believed,---to teaching his college pre-calculus class. Funny, later that night, I was looking under the sink in the guest bathroom and in the back pulled out some old "Blues Clues' bubble bath soap. Yea, as the great old song goes: "Ain't it funny how time slips away"
