Colombian women

[Kit]

Folks,

I have never been to Colombia (or any south american country for that matter) and was wondering what life is like. I mean for an average girl. Does she live in the house of her own, with her parents or in a dorm. Does she make a good income and can afford a lot. I have been many times in Asia and have pretty good idea of how people live but now I am interested about living standards in South America (Colombia). Any personal experience is appreciated.

I'm not an expert and I've just begun my search, but I can tell you based on my "limited" personal experience with the women I've made contact with, is that most women live at home with their parents. I think this is common even for the more "professional" (engin. teachers and such)and older ones.

Living by oneself is not as popular in other countries as it is here.  Also, more importantly, I think it demonstrates how much more family oriented they are.  They appear to truly love being in their parents or siblings presence.  I also think, financially it makes more sense to.

Most seem to have access to computers. Mostly internet cafes or at work.  A lot don't always publish their addresses to the agency however.  

I'm not sure what you pre conceived ideas might be but its not like its third world or anything.  

The big thing I think is finding good a good agency to work with, depending on your M.O. (letter writing, actual single tours or introductions).  letter writting is a good way to get started unless you just have some time and free fund$ to hop on a plane and vist this weekend.  Again try to find out which agency has recent and good addresses of available woman.  I'm still working on this phase, but I like Latin Women Connection(LWC) and International lady(IL)(they actually gave me a replacement address for a lady that very recently got engaged).  You'll quickly find out that a couple of places have the same women listed at the same time(South of the Border and International Lady).  I wouldn't be turned off by that, its just the nature of the beast. However some prefer to find sites that have woman that are only listed on one site.  Competition thing I guess as a lady on 3 different sites gets 3 times the responses!!!

Put up a post and ask. or seach the archives as most things have been discussed on here in some shape or form.

This is probably more than you asked for. But I think you'll sense a form of brotherhood on this site. Its good. they seem to good people with good hearts.

Best of luck!!!
