on the fence?!

Hello everyone out there.
First of all I would like to thank all those UNSELFISH experienced guys outthere who are willing to share and give advice to all us blind new guys. Hats off to you.

I would also like to wish the best of luck to those who are willing to venture and take the chance at finding a real woman. Good luck to all.

OK, About me. I am an African American/black man born and raised in the US. I am 40 years old but for the most part I look pretty young for my age. I also am in pretty good shape so I know it helps out alot and I'm normally very young at heart. Basically, like so many of you outthere, I am so sick of dating American woman! Ive been in several relationships in the past and have dated woman of many nationalities and backrounds. But, Ive come to the conclusion that American born woman are Selfish! They want the cake and eat it too! And I'm tired of it and have been thinking of persuing woman elsewhere. Ive got my eye on Colombia. I think these woman are beautiful. Which brings me to here to find and collect all the advice I can get my hands on. I'm 70% sure I want to go through with this but want to pick all the brains I can for the next several months before I do

First things first ( and this is an important question for me so I'm looking for honesty and experience) Is me being black/dark-skin gonna be an issue in Colombia? Are these woman only looking for Caucasian men?

Second- I am brushing up on some Spanish but am realistic as-well!
Can anyone tell me which agency/business that I can use that can help me in my venture? I'm looking for one that will cater to me and not just out to take my money

Ill start off with these questions first and hopefully after I get some answers I can ask more. I hope to hear as many responces as possible and again thank you in advance for your honesty.

Welcome aboard indio. We're happy to have you. We have plenty of black guys here and all seem to do fine both in Latin America and Asia. I'd say it's only an issue of you make it one. Sure some women won't be interested, but you're probably not interested in woman with a certain height / weight / skin color either. There should be plenty interested enough in YOU to find a real gem. Fasten your seatbelt and get ready for the adventure of a lifetime.

I shall be telling this with a sigh   
Somewhere ages and ages hence:   
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I —   
I took the one less traveled by,   
And that has made all the difference.

Welcome to the board, your skin color will not be an issue in Colombia or Peru so do not worry about that. You should take your time and decide what type of women you are looking for and what country you would like to pursue.

Best of luck to you

OK, About me. I am an African American/black man born and raised in the US.

Was not a problem when I was in Cali, I met several African American men and they did very well there. Actually one of the men wanted to start and agency together as he had contacts in Brazil also at that time, but it didn't fly and we lost contact. We had a lot of fun there. Just heed a few warnings, brush up on the Colombian culture, don't go in blind like I did. In 98 it was still uncharted territory so I think I got a lot of breaks then, had I know what I do now, who knows where I would be right now.

Race will not be a problem....But, some of the woman will not be receptive to solely base on you skin color . I would say about 60-75 percent will show interest in Barranquilla area. Look for woman who are spiritual and soulful( not religious) they are more likely to feel you more because us black folks we are spiritual people....Good luck bro!

My girlfriend's best friend just married to a Afro-American man last week.  He is from California.  She lived in Medellin but is from Cali.   Many of Afro-American men successfully married/date with Colombian women, so the colour of your skin will not be a problem down there.
