It is each of our responsibilites as adults to check out who we date in Cali. The agency cannot possible screen these women. The most they can do is verify employment...nothing else.

Just as any man can go down and misrepresent himself, so too can a woman. I have seen bozo's trying to go out with supermodel types...I laugh to myself, these are the same guys whining on this board.

It is a very difficult process to find someone from another country who speaks a different language. Add to that the way Colombians do business makes it frustrating. It is not the us where you get an extended warranty, can call a consumer protection agency or the BBB. There is NO WAY any agency can be sure of a womans' true intentions.

The best way is to go to multiple agencis and pay their weekly fee to meet the ladies. Then you are not depending on one source to meet the women. The only agency that was tough to do this with was Latin Encounters, but if you push the issue to try before you buy, Margret will not let money walk out the door.

When I was searching for a wife I used correspondence to get to know the ladies before traveling to meet them.  You can do this without even using an agency if you know Spanish.

If I were to do this over again, I'd place my own personal ad in a newspaper giving only my email address for contact information and state the month I was planning on being in their town.  You can get to know several ladies well before you travel and will no doubt find out that some are not compatible with what you want before wasting time meeting them on a trip with limited time.

I'd probably place an ad in Guayaquil, Ecuador given what I know now.  It's a location where I know the ladies are interested in meeting gringos and not a place where many other gringos are going.  It's also a tough place for an agency to operate since the main newspaper there will not accept agency advertisements (to our great disapppointment!).  We advertised there for one brief period before the paper stopped accepting ads and got a good turn out, so I know the ladies are interested.  The bottom line is you're not going to have much competition from other gringos there.

Patrick, Were the women in Guayaquil in your opinion generally , attractive as say compared to Cali? Did they have more European or Indian influence ?

They looked plenty attractive to me and from the small sample size I saw, I'd say they were comparable to Colombianas, but without having been there, I can't really say for sure.

It's El Universal in Guayaqill.  I'm sure you could probably find information on them in a web search.  I'm out of state on business travel at the moment and can't pull any contact information out.

I'm not sure if they would take personal ads from gringos, but I think they would.  They definitely won't take agency ads though.

I agree no agency can give you any guarantees.Their job is to put you in contact with women you want to meet.The main requirement would seem to be that they have a good supply of women who are available.If they can give you some imformation about the women so much the better,but I would rather have no imformation other than what the woman provided than to be manipulated and have the women manipulated for the profit and whim of the agency director.
I would check out Latin encounters as a last resort based on what has been said here.Its one thing to try and make money,but to be dishonest in handling of people is another.
One of my friends was manipulated by Margareth to come over and meet a girl.She was absolutely nothing like he told her he was looking for,but did have a good job,a car and a cell phone,and some money to pay Margareth for the introduction he concluded.Why get jacked around like that if there are other agencies to deal with?
I agree with you last statement.Check out multiple agencies one at a time.If you don't find the girl you are looking for move on to another agency.Cost needs to be considered also,I would try the expensive ones last unless you think the difference in Quality warrents the price.
We see alot of talk here you don't really need an agency.If you speak spanish,are very assertive and have lots of time this may be true.For the average guy with limited time to try and find the woman he is looking for they are the absolutely best way to go in my opinion.
For many new guys here where to go is an important question,so these agency discussions are very helpfull I would think.Also trip reports are a great motivation.We have had too few recently.Guys need to get a feeling for how good the choices can be,decide to go as soon as possible,choose a city to go to,an agency to go to,and get on that plane.
I've already been through this,but if I were going now I would go to Cali,start at All Colombian Girls,if no luck move on to Latin Best,Latin Internet and then Latin Encounters in that order.The agency picks are from what I have been told by people and from posts here.I went to Latin Love when it was a big agency.Even then it probably had fewer choices in women than some other agencies,but enough for me,I met my wife there.
And again,check out those most gorgeous girls if you like,but move on at any sign of deception or being users or players.I agree with Patrick,find a girl with excellent character who is attractive enough.There are hunders,probably thousands of them to choose from.
And I would skip that tour for $1000 that buys you a couple of parties.If you are sincere you are going to get successfull here.Save you money,and time,you will need it,marrying a Latina can cost some $$ and requiore some additional time off from work.

Pete,

I'm going to Colombia this August and would like to ask you for some advise. I've read your posts since you first went to Cali and I have a lot of respect for what you have done and your opinions. It seems that we think alike.

Anyway, I'd like to communicate via phone before I leave (this August 22nd). My e-mail is:

nelsont@spawar.navy.mil

Thanks!

Tim.
