question about an agency

[elessar]

I recently posted a request for information on a company that I said was called columbiansingles.  I recently learned that that is just one web site for an agency called A Foreign Affair.  Does anyone here know anything about this agency, are they legit.  Any information would be appreciated.

AFA has close to 1400 ladies with "complete bio's" on their Latin pages.

I met my fiancee thru writing, from one of their address's. So did a couple other guys I know. They have a small office with staff in Cartagena, on Boca Grande. Rafeal is a nice, helpful, friendly guy. He even went to the Airport to congratulate my Fiancee and wish her goodbye.  

There are only 2 agencies of note in Cartagena, NO B&B's.

Relatively speaking few Gringo's visit Cartagena. The women are sweet and beautiful. There is every type of lady there.

A Note for All:
If you want 100's of beauty queens licking your boots, that place doesn't exist. It's a fantasy. However, there are beautiful sincere ladies of EVERY TYPE in EVERY CITY. NO...this is not shooting fish in a barrel any where. If one city doesn't work for you move on. This is a "process". And as such, "results" are the "result of effort, time and money". There are literally thousands of women availible, which in and of itself only does one thing: IT CHANGES THE ODDS in the Mans FAVOR. It does not guaruntee success. IMO, the best thing one can do to enhance "THE ODDS" of finding what you seek..is simple...."BE THE ONE" and in this process you will then be able to meet "The One". If a guy practices "Being the One" in all of his affairs and travel's then what you seek  will certianly cross your path, IF....you put the time and effort in to meet 'them'.

MOST of the successful guys I know, had to write, meet,and/or visit literally a hundred(some more, some a little less) women before our perfect match was found.  

Very few if any of us that I know personaly would ever look back.

Gotta go....taking my fiancee to breakfast and then sightseeing and a little shopping.

Later, Houndog

Hey Houndog,.......Can you take pictures of your wife-to-be`s friends.    Maybe you could start your own agency (smile)  You do have to understand that everyone can`t go down there 4 times a year, every year etc.   There are just alot of us basic guys that have to work, to make ends meet. Do these Latin women understand that ?? Do they understand that it does cost a guy alot of money !!! If they did, maybe they would be more respect, and be more honest & serious.  Money does not blow around in the streets like these women think it does.  Everyone in America isn`t rich !!!  Before you found the "dream",....about how much money did you waste on them, so some of us will know what we`re into.   I would have had a low rider long ago,.....payed for in full !!!!!!  Would have been great if I went that way now !  (smile)

If you cannot afford to go down there , don't go.. Not to be rude, but you are entering an expensive journey. If you think it is costly to travel and visit down there,,, wait until you get her here..

Would a Low Rider Love you "forever" ? or even last that long ? JaJa.

My lady is organizing the house :-) at the moment so I have a minute. I wasn't the victim of 'too many' lies, so I don't really have a lot of insight into that. I will say however that all my friends that have been successful have "Standards" that we insisted the women meet. Such as treating us with consideration. Like emailing often, keeping phone appointments, making a concerted effort in General to establish a two way street. I was going to mention in one of my previous posts the importance of "TRUST" in ANY relationship. The man "should" develop the ability to establish and ascertain a level of trust or forget it IMO. For me, No Trust..Nada..no nothing...especially not a relationship. IMO it is best to start by developing a frienship/Low Level emotional relationship and build from there establishing trust co-efficients along the way. IMHO...one can very easily establish many things from a person's writings...intentions....motives...mind set...attitude...honesty...or lack there of...I do it all the time right here....some one writes...I read carefully and ask myself questions first...."Where is this Person Coming From?".....then I start dialogue that draws the real "Truths" out into the open....an average person can't hide their attitudes and intentions for very long....(even though they think they can)...as an example....after a few posts, even many past posters are discovered to be someone from the past with a new name. And it's all because they can't change there insides, so no matter how often someone changes their name, once they beggin talking, or are challenged into talking....the real them is quickly revealed. It's called "Drawing Them Out into the Open". And the very same thing is possible and quite easy to do with the women. So personally I never had a problem "testing" the women by the writing scenario. Of course the skills have to be developed and fine tuned, however the same holds true in everything in life to keep from being taken advantage of. Go buy a used car on "Blind Faith" that the used car salesman is telling you the gospel truth.  And see if you don't get taken in some way or another. So this is no different than many aspects of life....but does require certian skills be developed and fine tuned.

Regards, Houndog

Can a low rider love you forever ??   The sound of a Harley,or Z-28,... can be so much better then the sound of a women with a mouth.  We are dealing with the "heart" Houndog.   They go right after the heart, because they know what they can do to it !!!  The users, and takers know what they are doing.  They know who the "ROOKIES" are, as soon as they get a letter.   They love doing it too !!  I asked you before,......how many thousands of dollars did you waste before you found your wife-to-be ?  So, at least I might see that it isn`t worth it !    And let me say in truth,......"May the Good Lord above bless you both, and your marriage !"  "May she be a shinning light, to other Latin women, ........telling them that there`s something special about being a Latin women,.....and all you have to do is.....be it. "  Just be what the Lord made you.  That`s one thing American women don`t get yet........they hate being a women to begin with, like they are cursed, or something,.....and it looks like Latin women are getting this way too.   A women that has the "Gifts of the Spirt", as the Bible calls them,.......will melt the heart of any man, but the women of the world, will only desire things of the world !......and cause only hurt !!    Tell me where the "Women of God" are,in Colombia ?    I don`t mean religious, either.

Ron, I truly feel for you and others that have had bad luck.

I found a great woman'of the heart'. And met more than a few others. In fact I think that's why I was able to avoid some of the dissappointment you express. I only went for women of the heart. I weeded out all that seemed 'to me' to not have a spirtual side as quickly as possible.

I went to cure a void in my heart and saw myself placating my ego instead, upon trealizing I had changed my own rules of searchdom, I slapped myself upside the head and went back to using the 'sweetness factor' as my guide post.

I'm not sure were the one you seek is, however I'll bet a bundle she doesn't hang out in bars or disco's. Good girls there act pretty much like good girls here in enough ways to draw parrellels. They're close to their families, go to church, don't hang out in bars, don't meet strangers on street corners for lunch dates, etc.

Wish I could help you more.....develop a set of criteria of the heart and sincerity index for yourself and compare the women to what you want in a Loving, Sweet, Nuturing Partner and if/when they don't measure up to your needs and wants, just say adios. With thousands of choices even given the randomness of the universe you should be able to find what you need. I have and so have many others.

How Much to find the one.....Mastercard....The Value of finding the one....Priceless..!

Regards, Houndog

Houndog,......it`s not a void that needs to be filled with me.   I just would love to share it with someone.  I do, and enjoy life to the max. I don`t go to bars, or discos, or things like that.   I spend most of my time at the ocean shore, and in nature, and things like that. I never took drugs, pills, smoked grass, or anything near that.  We all look at life differently,.....and I see it that if I needed someone to make me happy, there`s a problem somewhere. I can`t make someone happy (or them, me), maybe for a short time........but real happiness, and joy, has to be in the heart already. I have that !!!.........would just be nice to find someone that has that same happiness, and joy in their heart about life, and share that together.   Example:   The ocean is still beautiful with, or without a Latin Women. Would it be nice to have a Latina Women to share the beauty,....yes !!!..but I still can enjoy the Ocean shore to the max !!!.....and go home with a very "peaceful" heart.    Do you see what I`m saying ?? Maybe to find a Latin women with the "Gifts of the Spirt", is impossible.  But look at these words and try to picture a Latina women with them written in her heart, instead of the ones I had to deal with.  "Love" "Joy" "Peace" "Patience" "Kindness" "Goodness"  "Faithfulness"  "Gentleness"  "Self-control"    Aren`t they beautiful ?    You have to agree, Houndog !!! What more could a man ask for ?   This women would "GLOW" when she walked into a room.   Now, that`s beauty !!!!     Now tell me where you can find these Latin women, instead of the clowns I`ve met ??

AFA is legit and I've bought a few addresses from them. They have an office in cartagena. Almost all (6 out of of the girls I wrote to responded, so if there are a few girls that interest you I'd get their info and write. After 5 months of emails and phone calls I'm flying down to meet a couple of them next week. good luck

Seems to me they specialize in Russian intros by mail and tours. Your best bet for Colombians would be to stick to those agencies based in Colombia.

A foreign affair is based out of Arizona.
