Pete I didn't mean to butt in, but I'm really just getting into doing a lot of research and hopefully preparing to make a trip this sping or summer.  This site and all the postings have helped a lot to.  I guess being an American I have this thing about big age differences. How you see the young women on these sites and they say they would be with a much older guy, and even if thats so I couldn't see myself doing it no matter how beautiful or mature she is.(Don't hold me to this  lol) I'm 36 and 28 maybe 27 would be the youngest that I would pursue.  I understand that this would probaly mean most of the women that I meet would have a child and I'm okay with that. I would really want someone who doesn't have children and wanted to have one.

I appreciate all the comments you guys make. You really seem to stay real and not sugarcoat anything

Dave,
A funny thing happens to alot of guys who go south.They find out the 18-21 year olds are interested in them and they
change their whole concept of an acceptable age.The longer they stay the more they lower the age group they are interested in.
I have only 2 issues with that.Does the girl really know what she wants and will it change alot in a few years?How will she feel about you as you age?
I think a little older is better,but that is from the perspective of a guy who was 56 when he went.One of the first girls I met(not an interview) at latinlove was 18 and I didn't even give her a thought.I told her and her 18 friend I was looking for 35 not 18.But a 45 year old friend
dated and almost married this girl.I guess some guys 40-45
still have that very young image of what they want in a girl.Another friend (age 40)spent 2 years chasing 18-21 year olds.I would tell him,whats wrong with 25?I don't know,he didn't want to go there.He finally married a 21 year old that looks younger than the 18 year old he dated.
At 36 you may well find yourself looking down to the 21 year old pretty Quick.I just have this number in my head.25 is better.At 56 I was very happy to find a 33 year old who I think is beautifull.
I don't know if it got talked about on this list,but on Latin women list someone stated what he called the "prophets formula",from islam I guess.Its says the ideal woman will be half your age + 7 years.Thats 25 for you.Alot of 25 year olds,I would say 60-70 % do not have kids.

Thanks pete I think I have heard of that before.  (half your age + 7). It is something to think about.  I have run across plenty of the young women in my short life (especially in my field) who are young and georgous say 18-25 but to talk to them is an adventure in itself. I'm not saying all are like that but to me most are.  Since I haven't been there before you may very well be right.  Looking through these sites I have found plenty of women who are say 29-35 who are very good looking.  Of course pictures don't tell everything but when I go this summer I'm going with an open attitude.  

Question:  I was thinking about posting an add in one of the magazines that let the ladies write to you first. Have you or anyone you know ever done this before?  I thought of it as a way to maybe get to know some of the women before I go there, and partly because I'm not sure about going on one of the tours that put hundreds of women in a hotel ballroom with a party atmosphere and of course drinking and expect to find someone nice.

There is no doubt there are many good looking ladies in Colombia, but I think Colombia is a little bit oversold on this forum. Likely by guys who haven't been anywhere else in Central or South America and don't have a true since of comparison.

I recently moved to Chile with my work, plus I have traveled in most of the countries in SA.

When I travel in SA, I always see lots of good looking ladies no matter where I go. Colombia has a high concentration of MOB agencies due primarily I suspect to the terrible economic conditions in that country, and the ladies want to get out.

The biggest negative I have seen in Colombia (outside of the potential danger to the gringos)is that the women I have met seem to be a bit jaded about men, maybe for good reasons. I don't see that same attitude in Chile. The women here don't necessary want out by any means. The economy is the best in SA and the unemployment is relatively low. I have met many professional intelligent very attractive ladies here.  To my knowledge there are no Colombian style MOB agencies in Chile.  But who would need one here. All you have to do is go to a club, ask one to dance (they never turn you down). If you speak some Spanish you are off and running. They love gringos.

If you saw the ladies on the streets and beaches near Viņa Del Mar in those tiny bikinis, you would say like me, Colombia who!!  It is summer time here, and the sidewalk cafes and clubs are full of lovely ladies who aren't out to green card you.

Yes, I think you should go to Colombia because it is a very interesting and unusal place, and yes there are many beautiful ladies. I really like most of the people I have met in Colombia. But don't think it is the only place by any means, travel around and see the world, or otherwise you will be short changing yourself.  

good luck,
mike

I recommend you go down there without any expectations.  I went down to Cali and found it to be different from the overly optimistic and Pollyannaish point of view represented on this board.  Of all the lists and boards I consulted, the two gringos board seem to have the most sober advice.  See it as an opportunity to meet women that you would not be able to meet otherwise given your constrained situation in the United States.  Good luck.

Just keep your last experience at that night club as a reference point and you will think you have died and gone to heaven.The most attractive lady you saw in that bar,the one you couldn't even get close to because of all the guys fighting over her probably won't even start to compare with the ones that will be fighting over you.Even if you believe what I'm telling you you really have to experience it.You will be changed forever.

Hi pete
A personal experience from my first trip to Cali.
One day while sitting in Luz Amparo's Latin Best Agency killing some time waiting for an appointment to show, two young ladies showup and start talking to Luz about the agency(one advantage of staying at an agency is the number of women who just happen to drop by..."checking out the new meat...is more likely"). Anyway these two ladies were about 20ish. When I was there in July I was 52, not Adonis, not dogmeat. Quite a stroke to an "older" man's ego to have these two young attractive girls openly flirting with me. 20 year olds in the states wouldn't have looked at me twice. I found it very common at places like Chipi Chapa to see beautiful 20ish girls hanging onto 40ish men. Different country, different cultures. Now I'm sure that most younger Colobianas would love to be the apple of the eye of a 30ish Brad Pitt type but I suspect they also realize that that guy would have woman crawling all over him. The mentality of the calena is different than AW, I do not know how different but it is frequently pleasantly so.

Hey fred
 I talked with you in LB and ran into you at Leonos Y Carbon in CC. I am 59 and you are 52. We are walking advertisements for the Cali scene, although I got rid of the fashion model. Hope to see  you again in Cali
