SWM,

Last time you checked "the country called Colombia was established by people of Spanish origin of the caucasian race"?

Well thank you very much for the historical clarification, Mr. Britannica

Now...to the matter at hand....

If you had taken the time to read my post...nowhere in it does it say that there are no white women in Colombia.

Second, whether he is looking for a green, blue, or purple latina...who said it needed to be OK with me or anyone else?

Third, if you had been following the thread...the guy apparently wants an educated white woman that can slide ride into life here with little interruption to his present life, and begin bringing in the bucks.

Now, given his stated preferences....it would be far less disturbing to his current lifestyle to simply look here in the states...where the educated professional white women tend to already speak English and make good money.

Get it?

If you like the Mexican lady, why don't you go meet her?  It sounds almost like you're waiting for the best qualified professional cantidate and plan to marry whoever best fits your model.

Doesn't work like that young man.  It's one thing to screen ladies for their money earning pontential, but if you want a good marriage as well as a good financial future, you need to find love as well.  For that, you may have to have to meet quite a few.  Don't wait for the "best cantidate" with the thought that she's going to be "the one".

The hardest part of this whole thing is finding someone that you love and who also loves you.  You can't determine that until you meet and get to know each other well. Vete al sur para conocer a la mujere mexicana.

Mike,

I would like to point out some things for you. I'm saying these things so you can be realistic with this kind of thing.

1.) If you have 50K to 60K in your favor right now, that is good for a 26 year old. Most Americans don't make that much.

2.) Don't expect the "world" too soon when she gets here. Yes, we all would like for our wives to be bringing in nice money once she arrives, but that's not realistic. If you have a friend that will hook her up with a job making $15 an hour go for it. As far as her practicing denistry, she will have to go back to school and take further tests to become certified. That will be substantial up front costs. One thing you may want to consider, and I hope other guys are reading, is to get her enrolled in school. Like a good community college or junior college. That would be cheap. She could finish the first two years there cheap, then work on the last two to three years at a university. I know many Latinas from my univeristy that do this. In fact, they are smart about it because they study to become Spanish teachers for public schools. Since they already know the language, they breeze through the program. Many of them find good jobs making between 30K to 40K.  

3.) As for the language barrier. Make it up in your mind right now that learning the language will be an asset. Also, if you ever do get married, because many guys don't, you should realize that your wife will begin to pick up English quickly once she arrives. That is if she really tries to learn the language, and you don't hide her in a closet. Another thing is this, there are many Calenas that speak English.

Also, the predominate reasons why guys prefer cetain cities in Colombia can be many. But these two are the major ones:

1.) Cultural and social practicies of the girls in particular cities.
2.) Physical characteristics of girls in particular cities.

For example, in Bogota the people are more reserved, and somewhat formal at times. But on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts people are more outgoing and relaxed. Not to mention there are more people of African decent, and a mixture thereof, in the coastal cities.

I prefer Cali because the ladies there are very attractive and polished, yet relaxed and friendly. They also have allot of charm. Also, Cali has allot of diversity and mixing between groups.

That's all I have to say about this.

No professional from Latin America is going to hit the ground running here.  I have a friend who married a doctor from Venezuela.  After 4 years of intense study (and a fair chunk of money), she has finally passed the board and started a residency.  She had to apply nation-wide for a residency.  San Diego's pretty tough for getting one without really good credentials.  She found one in Texas, where they now live.  He left his business here and is flying back and forth all the time now while she puts in 36 hour shifts.  If you want to marry a professional, make sure you know what could be in store for you and be ready to deal with it.

Mike,

You'd be surprised who much money can be made by a good looking woman on the "Calle".  (-:

Are you looking for a "Life-Mate" or a "Money-Mate"? If quite obivious to me, you're looking for someone to help you get material riches. You're absolutely correct in stating that most guys here are looking for something different in a woman than you.....It's called Love!!!

Costa Rica has great surf.

I tried to get a flight to Costa Rica with an extended layover in Cali.  I thought it would be a great trip to combine Cali with some surf in Costa Rica.  Wrong....the flights just don't work that way and it was twice as expensive.  Oh well.

This is off subject, but I think the women in Colombia are much better looking then Russian women.

From LAX I was getting round trip prices  to Cali for 448.00 out of Ticatravel.com.  Anybody have any better suggestions for air.  I'm going to just go down and see what happens.

If you live in Los Angeles purchase a copy of the spanish language newspaper -- "La Opinion".  La Opinion has lots of advertisements for travel agencies that deal with Latin America.  They post the prices right there in the newspaper.  

Good Luck,

Stan

I suppose for someone who's never been to the city, the name's a bit hard to spell.  You can be successful in your search anywhere.  The important thing is not where you go, but what you bring with you.  Specifically, the grey matter inside your skull. Fools can fail anywhere, guys with a little wisdom and good judgement can succeed anywhere.

I would suggest not settling for the luck of the draw, but to instead make your own luck by stacking the odds in your favor as much as possible-

Study Spanish
Think with the big head
Take your time
