When I redesigned the site, I apparently left out one of the discussion board rules from the Forum FAQ page.  Discussion of prostitution, other than from a philosophical point of view is grounds for banning your account. So is posting of pornographic links.

I won't ban anybody now since the rule was not previously posted, but in the future, it will be enforced.

I asked if anybody recognized this site. I did not read the advertisement at the bottom in SPANISH that lead to another site. Excuse me for not being perfect in reading Spanish. Also, I wasn’t asking about the OTHER site in Spanish, but the one in English. A few of the girls looked familiar from a different “marriage” agency, but I couldn’t remember the name. That is why I asked the question.

I was reading the thread before you deleated it, wondering why guys were posting such opposite opinions of the same site. Were they all having such trouble reading Spanish, or was it something else?. Then I found out why. Apparently Mudd had bypassed the home page and had hit directly on the "women who want to get married" part of the site, which appeared legit (although extreemely expensive). Others (myself included) went through the home page and hit the escort service side of the same site. I eventually found both the escorts and the wannabe wives part of the site, and then of course the reason for the opposite opinions became obvious.

Don't you just HATE agencies like this? They do a real dis-service to the sincere ladies who thought they were signing up with a marriage site and probably did not even know of the agency's "other line" of business.

I would agree with you Michael.  

Off the subject, but as the search engine is temporarily down, could you tell us a little about your novia, how you met her, age difference, nationality, etc.  I am curious after reading your profile and would have sent you a private email asking this but your email addy is undisclosed as they say.  

Thanks.

No email, no pictures. Sorry, some people here have had bad experiences posting both.

But I don't mind telling you that I am cacusian, 52yo, grew up in small town Okla and have been living in Dallas for almost 20 years. I speak Spanish (I'd rate myself 85-90%, I realize I don't know ALL the words/expressions and sometimes have to ask them to explain what they mean).

She is 39, triguena, was born in some small town in Colombia but has spent most of her life in Cali. She doesn't speak any English, but is anxious to learn.

We are both divorced and both have children. Some of the children are on their own, some are with the respective X's. One of her children is still with her but will stay behind when she comes here (hey, she's 23yo, so it's not like we're abandoning a helpless child).

How we met? She had a profile on one of the free websites. I emailed to her, she answered, we emailed more, then phoned, then met in person, now we're working on her papers.

Thanks Michael, I was just curious.  Sounds like you found a sweety.  Regards.
