which is best

[snap38]

I am curious as to the many opinions that are out there.  I am wondering which women from which country are the best.  I have heard things about Honduron women being the most loyal.  Colombian women being the best looking.  I think that looks are important but, if the person is going to be hard to live with then that doesnt help.  I do find LA women are the prettiest in all the world.  I would appreciate your opinions.  Thanks

The best country is where you find the woman who fits you best.  I wouldn't worry about which country has the highest number of really attractive women or which are more loyal etc.  Those are always matters of personal taste and opinion and everyone's going to have their personal favorites.  I'd concentrate on getting to know specific women as well as possible.  There's going to be a lot of variation among the women from any country and you just can't label all of them from a specific country as being a certain type.

If agency support is the most important thing to you and you want to be able to travel to the country and have English speaking people to guide you, Colombia is probably the best choice since there's so many agencies there.  If you know Spanish and can place your own newspaper ads, I'd personally recommend trying Guayaquil Ecuador because I know there's lots of interested ladies there and few gringos visiting.  If you know Portugese, then Brazil is the obvious choice.

A lot of men go to agencies in Colombia because they can meet a lot of beautiful women in a short time period.  The men cannot afford to spend weeks or months there looking (although some do) and in this way they can reduce the time and money it takes to find a wife.

The downside risk is that many unscrupulous women in Colombia know this and will tell the gringo what he wants to hear in order to get into the US.  The quantity of insincere women there is debateable, but they do exist.

Example: my wife knew a lesbian in Cali who enrolled in an agency.  That lesbian is not planning to "switch teams".  She just wants to get out of Dodge.

Hmmm - that lesbian could be an interesting catch (for 2 years anyways until permanent residency)!
Seriously, it is surprising at the number of lesbies in Colombia - I guess it's a combination of trying to be "vogue" and a way to circumvent the machismo thing?

- but I would think that most gals, even with bad intentions - would want to hang around even in a shi$ty marraige to get their permanent residency - until then, you really may not know what you've got on your hands.  I know of one such scenario getting ready to unfold - poor guy doesn't have a clue what's going on.

Also, there are some women who may stay for financial reasons,even if the marriage is bad. I have seen that happen. Some of the women understand they do not have the skills to make enough money to afford them the life style she has grown accustomed to. So she may stay even if she is not in love. I know a couple of situations like this. One situation, the girl actually hates the guy. He cannot do enough for her,and wonders why she is not grateful for him getting her out of poverty. She stays put because she does not have to work,and she is well taken care of. You can see in all of her actions her resentment for him. But it has been 3 years,and she is still there.

I wonder if there is anyone that keep these types of statistics on failed marraiges with foreign brides.  Maybe this is a problem.  I have heard of a lot of failed marriages on this board since I have been reading it.  It just may NOT be a good location to get an over all feeling on this though.  But none the less a curious thing.  I know there are basic human needs in a relationship, but there are cultural things as well.  Am I starting to mumble to my self now?

I think often it is like the news.  The bad stories get press.  Many times the guy who finds a jewel stops posting and moves on with his new life.  The guy who has problems with his foriegn bride is back telling the horror story.  Of course I am sure some guys who landed a winner still post here as well.

Something else, it seems that it is always the fault of the woman.  Remember you only hear the guys side here.  If you have been to Cali I am sure you met some very disfunctional guys who where there to marry a model.  

One girl in Colombia married a gringo believing him to be the person he seemed to be.  She arrived here to learn that he had a serious problem with nose candy, and he would force her to get in adult webcam chat rooms full of perverts.  Now she is back in Colombia and from what I understand he is telling everyone he is attending some church discussion group to help deal with the terrible way she treated him.

I have no idea what the stats would be, but it takes two to make it work.  It only takes one to screw it all up.  My guess would be that we are more often to blame.  In saying this I am including the cases of bad judgement on our part also.

Once I worked with this guy who had been married (and of course divorced) THIRTEEN (--13--) times. EVERY time it was the woman's fault--just ask him, he was glad to tell you how bad they all were (of course, HE was Mr. Perfect, just ask him, he was glad to expound on that point also).

Good points. Sometimes I amuse myself with memories of Cali and some of the dudes who go there.  I remember this one guy who had been off the plane for two hours, showed up at this agency I was staying at, and proceeded to propose to a drop dead gorgeous calena.  What he didnt know was that I had been working her before he showed up. She was ready to not only go to my room, but offered her hand in marriage to me.  Being the normal man that I am, I could not resist taking her, (who wouldnt, should have seen her) but when I told her that I was not interested in more, she calmly went back to the party and met this dwebe from Arkansas who was literally frothing at the mouth at her sight.  She acted as if it was true love at first sight and for all I know she is with him in Arkansas, probably looking for a divorce lawyer.  This happened at an agency that is now closed (you can guess which one) that was nothing but a non-stop party and amatuer brothel.  It was great as a vacation stop, but not good when looking for a wife.  I pity some of the idiots who went there and actually married some of these girls.  Well, you live and learn.  I never went back to that place but I must admit it was a wild party......

I suspected you might be a former poster who was banned.  I'm still not sure, but your attitude exactly matches his, and I'm not interested in having guys brag of their conquests here.

If you'd like to try sopme other forums, at left are links to other pages with information.  At the bottom of the Forum FAQ page, you find information on joining the LWL, and if you click on the General Info link, you'll find another list you can join by clicking on the "Guide To Meeting Columbian Women" link.

Patrick, your suspicions are correct. Yalg is our old friend Michael Earles, who previously posted as Lex and Stu. Usually going down in flames on a Saturday after too much fire water. LWL booted him several years ago.

Yep and already back it looks like.  He needs to change his style of writing.

It looks like Patrick went from thinking of banning, to banning, as when I tried to look at Yalg's profile, it came up as an error page, exactly what happened with other posters when they were banned.
