1st Attempt with Russian women and last...

[Bob101]

I said to myself..." Self?", before you decide for sure that a Latina is the way to go, "don't you think you should take a trip to Russia and meet the ladies there?"...I thought...hhmmm...they look so beautiful, most have higher education, seem to be interested in serious relationships...why not start a litle correspondence, and possibly go in a month or two.

My first step was to be immediately scammed. Then, somehow, I tripped accross "Black-list" sites, how not to be scammed sites, read these sites and asked...with this much deciet (some 40% of the women and agencies), lies, problems for access to the country, distance etc., why would anyone REALLY be interested in pursuit of such unknown?
Man...at least you can hop on plane with ease and be in front on Calenas within a few short hassle free hours and be sure the woman IS the woman you corressponded with etc.

I'm sorry guys...good luck to you...I just don't see that the risk of $$, emotional energy etc. outway the reward for such a dishonest system. It is fraught with problems too complex to go through for a woman you couldn't possibly get to know in a resonable time AND RISK marriage with her. GOOD LUCK GUYS...I'm back to the Lovely Latinas!!

I've spent about three years trying Colombia and can now speak Spanish.  I have been to Cali and Bogota.  I have given up and decided to try Russia again where I can meet beautiful intelligent women.  My summary of whats available in the agencies of Colombia is as follows: (1) Cali - lots of young women, overly exposed market peppered with scammers and jaded women, although the young women are pretty they aren't as good as what I see everyday in Los Angeles, (2) BOGOTA - lots of professional women, they would probably make the best wives, but they are all homely looking.  Regretfully I have decided that I cannot pursue Colombia anymore because the quality just isn't there to make it worthwhile.  I have been to Russia once and they have a large selection of women who are both intelligent and beautiful.  Those are my judgments, but I don't think there is any correct answer and you could find a wife in Latin America or Russia.  And I think that finding the right women is a process of meeting as many women as possible until the right one comes across your path.  And there will be luck involved when it happens.

There was a lot of truth in what some of the trolls used to say, too...

The main question is: What is his point?

I avoided the scamms by staying off the instant message type web sites and avoideing the women that asked for money OTher than translation fees. I stayed with in my age bracket and looked for a profile of different likes and interest. The coomon thing is to hear I like sports, travel, Pets and family. These typical sayings are somtimes associated with scammers. I looked for a girl with more of an original saying. I have worked many years with spanish People and found that many of the women  come from the latin areas and marry then leave after they are here and this also goes for some russian women. Rick

Bob,
I agree with Mark below that the scammers are over blown for some reason.  Many of the sterotypes are off base with Russian or Latin women.  Like RW are docile and quiet while Latin women are hot blooded.  LOL  My blond blue eyed wife must have some hidden Latino blood in her some where!!  Seriously, that is why there are blonds and brunetts, so we can have our choice!  Best of luck to you.

Ken...

Do you mean that your wife does not follow all of the stereotypes???

I'm shocked!

She didn't marry you for money, isn't shy about sex, and didn't leave you for a green card the moment she got a chance?

Next you are going to tell us that she was worth the investment!

Mark,
Our joke to others is that Lena married me for sex and I married her for her money.

Re: "Why"

Well, one thing that comes to mind is the scientific study that Latinas pork sooner than Caucasions....#:o
