To those who've used Jamie's agency .... Latin-Wife

[Ricardo1]

To those who've used Jamie's agency ....  Latin-Wife:
I took a look at Jamie's site (latin-wife), also a friend of mine, seated beside me, was checking the pictures of the ladies...
He commented that only a few of the women (relatively speaking) were attractive in his eyes.  Okay, that's his opinion - but all along, I was thinking the same thing also...
So, I'm asking - to any of the guys who used this agency.  Were you finding the same - that is, did you think the women you met, etc., that the ladies were not as attractive as you were expecting?   Or were they more attractive in person?  Does Jamie have other ladies in his agency who don't ever appear on his website? 

I'd like to give this agency a try, go down and meet some of them, and see what comes of it....  I like it that he has a translator, coz although I speak spanish fairly well (IMO), and can hold my own one-on-one with any of the ladies, it's going to be nice to have another person to get some feedback on how appointment/interviews went.
Let me know - anyone, what you thought of the attractiveness of the women you met on the 'tour'
Thanks

sounds like this guy is pretty pickey, maybe he should stay in his country and try with his local women jajaj. their are many beautiful women in BQ, you just need to get into  whats going on in the city, concerts, events, social things ect.


its a hit and miss in agencies, the ones who photo shop or have the girls go to a professional photographer  never look as good in person, so pick girls with normal looking photos, they seem to always look better in person

I will admit that the girls on Jamie's site right now don't compare to the selection that was available when I first decided to go. As a matter of fact, that's what finally pushed me over the edge. After a couple of years of doubting and thinking and wondering, it got to the point where I told myself, "If just one of these girls are interested it would be worth the trip." I will say this: Jamie has an excellent camera. Top of the line even. Instead of revealing how attractive most of these women are, it insteads highlights each and every little flaw. Jamie is not running a modeling agency. There's no specialized lighting, makeup artist, or paint brushing of the pictures after the fact. However, I can assure you that if and when you actually touch down in Barranquilla you will not be dissapointed with the girls you meet there. Also, you are almost guaranteed to meet women that are not on the site. Some women don't want to be put on the internet but are very active in his agency. Others have joined but he doesn't have their photos or profiles on the site yet. Of course Jamie can't promise they'll want to meet you, so it makes sense he wouldn't even tell you about them. But I think any man on this site that has used his services can testify to the fact that they got some pleseant surprises in addition to the girls they knew they were going to meet. Most of the girls I chose before going turned me down. Out of about the 80 I showed interest in, only about 15-20 agreed to a date. Jamie promises 35-40 women for any client, and that's exactly what he delivered. Some of the girls I didn't pick showed up to meetings and I was very pleased to discover they were much more attractive than their pictures would have led anyone to believe (which is why I didn't choose them in the first place). To put it simply, IMHO the pictures of the women on Jamie's site do not do them justice. The one's you see you'd describe as "smoking hot" are much hotter than you'd ever imagine. Jamie offers clients the opportunity to meet real Colombian Women. If the hottest women in Colombia are what you're looking for, I'd recommend choosing another route. Fair warning though...exceptionally beautiful women in Colombia are for the most part no different from those in the U.S. Very high maintenance and most have nothing more to offer than their looks.
 
A gringo that's never been to the coast of Colombia wouldn't know better; but the girls in Jamie's agency are only the tip of the iceberg in Barranquilla. I've never, EVER met a gringo that regretted going, even if he didn't end up marrying a girl from Jamie's agency. I've personally recommended three friends that ended up using his services and married or not, they have always thanked me for sending them. Send me a PM for their contact info as they'd be happy to give you the details. The fact that you know Spanish only improves the odds that you'll meet someone you'll end up dating...whether they're with Jamie's Agency or not.
 
In the end it's all about taste. Costeñas are for the most part darker skinned women with physical characteristics that originate from African Slaves and the Native Tribes of South America. But there's a wide variety of women in Colombia. I've never been to Medellin, but I'd recommend that city to any man looking for the hottest women in the country. Jamie has never pretended to offer this. He runs a marriage agency. His goal is to introduce men to what could possibly be their future wives. Although looks are important, if you're wife-hunting, they should be one of the last in a long list of female characteristics. On average, any woman you're dating or eventually get married to from Colombia will be much more physically attractive than any woman you could marry in the states anyway. If your friend is not landing women in the states hotter than you see on Jamie's website, his opinion would be of no circumstance to me. It's always the ugliest, brokest, no personality having SOB's that have an opinion on which women are the hottest. Take the plunge, whether it's with Jamie or if you choose to do it yourself in Colombia in another city. You can thank me later.

His translators are a priceless asset...especially during your first trip. Colombian Women will VERY rarely reject you outright. It's not the culture. Even if they agree to meet you initially and you're intersted, if they don't feel a spark, they won't say a thing. They'll stand you up on the next date or simply stop communicating with the agency. This is the most valuable aspect of the translators. They play "middle-man," so the girls can be completely honest without having to deal with the confrontation of rejecting your to your face. They also serve as tour guides and advisors. You can give them your dating budget and they'll make recommendations on where to take women so you don't go completely broke (which is easier than you think when you're dating 3-5 women a day). If you're dating a girl that likes Italian Food, they'll tell you where to get the best in the city. They'll tell you what parts of town to stay away from and where it's safe to go amongst other things. I'm not sure what he's charging for translators now but he could charge double and it would still be a bargain.
 
Again, I can provide you with the contact info of men that will attest to this; but so can Jamie...just ask.

From what I've read, I have to say I respect Jamie and his agency. I have enjoyed his sometimes blunt, to the point posts and yet I find them and Jamie somewhat paradoxical in a way.
Too bad there are members here that for whatever reasons, want to snipe at him and as a result, his postings are few and far between these days. From what it sounds like to me, he's kind of like a sobriety 'check point' for fellows who venture his way.
Here's a guy who's running an agency (and rather well from what I gather) that for many guys, is step numero uno in what's typically an attempted exercise in 'fantasy fulfillment'. Then instead of exploiting their fantasies, he interjects with experienced guidance that includes 'reality checks'. This is a good thing if you want the right kind of woman, I figure. Sounds like some guys don't want to, or are soo smitten with certain gorgeous babes (who they hardly know) to even be able to listen and learn objectively.
Although I've never used agencies, but if I were single again and going Colombia way, He'd be my first stop. That's especially because I don't speak Spanish, but even if I did, I'd check him out for sure.
Might be more costly than just 'winging it', but especially if you don't know the women, their culture and terrain, it could quite possibly end up saving you a ton of money, as well as grief. Pay now or or quite possibly later--the difference may be measurable.

Jamie has wanted to expand for a while now. I've spoken with him on numerous occasions about starting an operation in Brazil. An American Owned Agency would clean house here. Especially if it were based in the north or northeast in one of the medium sized cities (not in one of the big cities of the south like Rio, Sao Paulo, etc.). There are soooooooo many beautiful, single women in the north that are not interested in Brazilian Men that the possibilites would be endless. There's also an unbelievable amount of gay men in the northeast. The gringos I know that work in Pernambuco joke that the state flag has a rainbow because there is so much homosexuality amongst men there. The only downside would be the headache of doing business in Brazil. I suppose one could get away with running what the Brazilian Government calls a "black market business" if they wanted to. If all the financial transactions were done outside of Brazil and the operation appeared innocent enough on the surface, perhaps someone could operate under the Brazilian Government's nose. But going through all the red tape, taxes and permits of starting a legit business here wouldn't be worth the trouble.
 
Peru would be another great location. I'm not sure why more gringos don't go there to wife hunt. There's not as many "traffic-stoppers" as you might see in Colombia but there are some gorgeous women in Peru. The DR would also be a great place for an agency but it would lack the variety of women you'd find in Colombia or Brazil. An agency in the DR would surely have an almost entirely black female membership base, instantly losing the interest of any gringo that wasn't attracted to women with darker skin. I think one of the tricks to any agency's success is having a variety of available, participating women for men of every taste.

Thanks for the feedback.  Like I said, I still intend to visit Jamie's baq agency.  I do realize that women may appear more or less attractive in person.  Yet I know there are plenty of nice, attractive ladies in Barranquilla, as I have spent some time there a long time ago.  In fact, I checked Sam's agency (barranquilla beauties) but didn't take him up on the tour offer - way too expensive, for mass meetings of women, and at the time my spanish skills were nearly non-existent.  So, yes, I think there is good potential in Barranquilla, and I like the hands-on that Jamie seems to have on his oppereation and knowledge of the women, culture from his living there. Regarding Peru, it's crossed my mind, but I like the variety of women in Colombia and the attitude of the women especially.  Hoping to get down there in early next year.

Ricardo,
 
 
Believe me when I say that there are as many beautiful, single women in Barranquilla as ever. I was supposed to be going next week but my responsibilities at work here in Rio are making that trip impossible.    However, I do have a very good friend going and I believe he's just going to stay with Jamie...not even meet many girls from the agency. During numerous past trips, I've showed him that approaching women in Colombia is the easiest thing to do on Earth. It's exponentially easier to meet women if you have a few friends living there already. Men generally fear going up to women they don't know because they don't want to be rejected. But, as I mentioned in an earlier post, Colombian Women do not reject men they don't know. The absolute worse that can happen is they ignore you and walk away (rare), tell you they have a boyfriend (regardless of whether its true or not), or give you a fake number. They will not act bitchy and standoffish like American Women and try to crush your ego for taking the chance of trying to meet someone new. Although friends have told me it's common, I don't remember ever getting a fake number from a girl in Colombia. The girls will just stand me up after I call and make a date if they're not interested. Colombian Guys always make the mistake of hooting, hissing and hollering when they see an attractive Colombiana. The girls HATE this. It's embarrassing for them. Colombianos also like to grab! When you approach a woman in Colombia calmly and subtly...simply introducing yourself and paying her a compliment, it's usually a very pleasant surprise for them. You just have to be careful and pay attention to your surroundings if you decide to approach a girl. The best place to meet women in Barranquilla is in Grocery Stores and at Buena Vista. I would stay out of the clubs unless you're just looking for girls to party with.
 
I sincerely doubt you'll regret going if you decide to take the plunge. Jamie runs a standup operation. His goal is to put you in contact with as many women as possible to give you the opportunity to find a girl you have real chemistry with. It's not because he's a hopeless romantic either...and that's why a lot of men have a problem with him. He's a straight shooter if I've every known one...a very logical and analytical man that doesn't have or make time for bull[snip]. The success of his business is based 100% on the success of the relationships between his clients and the women that are members of his agency. For this reason and this reason alone, he WANTS you to find the one, get married and spend the rest of your life with her. I met a girl at his agency during my first trip and dated her for a little over 2 years. Although it didn't work out in the end, I would still recommend his agency to anyone taking a trip to Colombia for the first time.

If I were single and had a couple weeks or more to spend in Colombia, I always thought a gym would be an excellent place to meet women.


On my last trip I joined a gym for a month ... there were some very lovely ladies.  A good time would be before work, during lunch, and after work ... if you want to meet women with a job, enough money to pay for the gym, and an interest in looking good.

EXCELLENT SUGGESTION!!! I've had the same experience in Barranquilla Gyms. Lots of friendly looking, attractive, young females!

in medellin, i joined a gym, some really nice looking women but my friend told me, be very careful what  you do in the gym, some of the girls ( of course the best looking ones) were  girlfriends or " kept women" of narcos and would be a good way to get shot lol, so never asked out anybody  [size=78%] what a bummer [/size]

He commented that only a few of the women (relatively speaking) were attractive in his eyes.  Okay, that's his opinion - but all along, I was thinking the same thing also...
So, I'm asking - to any of the guys who used this agency.  Were you finding the same - that is, did you think the women you met, etc., that the ladies were not as attractive as you were expecting?   Or were they more attractive in person? 

Personally don't think I would join an agency where I didn't find the women attractive.


Years ago I saw a couple of women on Jaime's site that I thought were attractive.....sent him 50 bucks I think for him to show them my profile....neither one was interested in meeting me so I wasn't interested in joining.


I kind of wish he just ran his agency like the one's in Cali......just put the chick in front of me and let me take care of the rest....but that didn't seem to be an option.....I actually  prefer the self service type agency....and actually would have felt better meeting chicks in person and getting my licks in before being dismissed instead of being rejected by profile disqualification. LOL!!


The truth is.... if you don't have serious time constraints......you can find much better looking women outside of agencies than in them.

Never. Just go back already. If you're anything like me, it's an addictive drug there is no substitute for. I will travel to Colombia for the rest of my life until I live there. For the right house in the right part of Colombia, I would spend half of what I'm worth this instant to buy it.

I think of living in LA / New York / The DR / Prauge for a couple months.  There is NO perfect place.  There is NO perfect woman. 


I do think that the Aladdin's lamp of temptations is bad for me in Colombia - one must be honest with oneself.

I am thinking of 90 days in EE in Spring.  Maybe South Spain?  [size=78%] [/size]

I agree with you in regards to the last statement of your post, you usually can find better looking women  outside of agencies than in them.
 
About the Cali agencies, I heard that the women in ACG typically will no show about 70-80% of the time...I wouldn't want any agency to be run like this.  But if a guy pays for individual dates (as I believe you suggested on a previous post) then he should be ok.

website photos if anything downplay the attractiveness of the ladies...when i saw my wife, i thought she looked pretty good in the photos...then when i saw her on webcam i noticed she was much more attractive... THEN when i saw her in person i was in perma-boner mode...she looked outrageously great... that is how it is with a lot of the ladies...


.i just browsed the website and i'd say about 85% of the gals are ladies that are not what i would say are attractive enough for what i liked,,but that leaves another 15% of  gals which can equate to several dozen that very nice looking...you may want to look at it that way...if somebody can put a few dozen babes in front of you, that should be good enough...


Fathertime! 

[V_Man]

Just my personal view, but I don't find them attractive either. I like the look of the Paisas best, but I never got past Cali and Bogota before being blown away.

[benjio]

Just my personal view, but I don't find them attractive either. I like the look of the Paisas best, but I never got past Cali and Bogota before being blown away.

This is what I was talking about in an earlier post. Most women in Barranquilla are shorter, have darker skin, curlier hair and a more slendor build with natural good looks. The Paisas I've met are much different. Midrange height, very curvy, long straight black hair, lighter skin, thinner lips, and a ton of makeup. I'm not sure how common it is in Medellin but almost all the Paisas I've met also have fake breast. Honestly, I can find millions of Mexicanas that have the same physical characteristics in Houston. That's not what I went to Colombia to find. Although they are very beautiful, for me, most of them have been a disapointment the morning after when all the "trimmings" come off. That Paisa accent is the most annoying thing on Earth for me also. The darker girls along the coast look exactly the same the morning after. It's all about taste though. Paisas do it for a lot of men, but not for me. My problem in Colombia is the same as it is here in Brazil. Darker Women prefer white men and my chances are much better with lighter skinned Latinas. This isn't always the case, but more times than not. Unfortunately, I'm more attracted to women with darker skin. As I said before, Jamie's stock has declined a bit since I first went, but I still seriously doubt anyone would be dissapointed if they decided to use his service. I'm telling you....those pictures do not do those girls justice!

[mudd]

hmmm....doesn't sound good....what do you think the odds would be of her risking it all just to be with you and not because she wanted to use you

probably pretty low, these type of girls in medellin ( really hot model types in the gyms) already get everything they want from their boyfriends, money, clothes, motos, cars,vacations, iphones ect, so messing around with a foreigner wouldnt be a step up, probably a step down in reality, so would either be just for fun  or to piss off her boyfriend. either way, didnt look good for me 


i did go out with a model for a few weeks, this girl had the biggest chest i have seen in a long time, and were real, not plastic,  she was full of krap and her stories were all over the place and her cell wouldnt stop ringing   so knew it wasnt going to last long, and it didnt. turned out later, she was modeling topless , then got into internet stripping and did a xxx video, wow was an eye opener lol. look up aria valentino
