Should I take her serious?

[hombrecaliente]

Guys,
I wrote an email on a certain site to a Calena chica. 28 no kids VERY nice...hehehe. She is a real STUNNER,(8.5)but in her profile she says she is "average" looking..!!!
But NOW after 4 weeks I receive (through that site) a message back.
it goes like this:

**

You should be happy that she responded at all, so many don't. Most women in Cali don't own computers, they have to utilize the services of Internet cafes. These services don't cost much by our standards but a little money goes a long way down there. They may not check their email more than once or twice a month in some cases.

My advice...write her a few more times before calling her. And don't take it too personally if you don't hear back from her for a few days, at least at first. Think of how long it would take if you were using snail mail...

One of the biggest hurdles any of us face in starting a relationship with a woman in another country is to get them to take us seriously.  If that relationship is via mail or email or phone your difficulty is even greater.  

How many men do you think write to her?  How many do you think actually ever set foot in Colombia?  Out of that small percentage, how many do you think ever actually get to the point of marrying her?  Get the picture?  You have a better chance of playing in the NFL than most of these girls have of landing a foreign husband.  Many fish, few fishermen.  

So the average Calena's not going to invest a whole lot of time in you at this point.  Tell her you'll be arriving in Cali next month (when that is true) and the interest will pick up.  That's part of the reason that I gave up on mail and email relationships.  The other part is, photos and correspondence don't compare to one on one.  You can waste months corresponding or you can find out in 30 minutes if there's any hope.

I know it's far away and expensive, but that's the reality.
