J.G. -

There are afew good points, and bad points to meeting someone through an agency. One bonus is you don't have to go wandering the countryside searching, another is you can pretty much guarantee (assuming it isn't one of the numerous services that are scams) that the girl/woman in question is indeed seeking her mate in life, and she will also probably post some details about herself, which saves the need to ask alot of pointless questions. You can generally get to know her weeks if not months before the actual meeting, and she can get to know you somewhat.

The bad points, include services who don't update their "catalog" of ladies often enough, poor customer relations, con jobs by the agency, con jobs by the women, immigration difficulties depending on where both of you are from, a lack of "spontaneous" chemistry (meeting someone by accident and finding a connection is much more dynamic and special than if you reply to an advertisemen, not to detract from personals services), trust issues based on distance (what's to stop her from cheating? you're 5000 or more miles away!), the list can go on and on (both pro and con).

Your best bet, is to be wary. Caution can save you alot of heartache later on if you stay open to both success AND failure. I know of success stories, and failure stories from matchmaking services, personals, classifieds ads, as well as spontaneous meetings, so anything is possible.

If you're prepared for the effort, they can be rewarding, but if you have other options left, that can be better. If you like latin women, here's an idea, go to latin america for your vacation, pick a country with women you find appealing, meet them, flirt, be happy, have fun. Unless you're totally unappealing, you'll probably find some interest, and you will be interested as well.

If you must go with an agency, be wary of the above points. I have never personally made use (successfully) of such an agency (although have done it to find friends and casual encounters sometimes), so I can't say I am happily married to a gorgeous woman. When you look at agencies, consider it shopping, compare service and price, check around the internet, you might even find a friend (male or female) in a chatroom who can fix you up with a girl in their own country, thus saving either of you the hefty fees some agencies charge one or both of you for the privelege of placing you together.

Hey guys
Since this is the "amateurs" section, I think this would be an appropiate question to pose here:
Does any one know about the mail order brides/girls businesses especially in Colombia? I have checked out the web sites, but has any one actually dealt with any of those agencies? I love the latin girls, and I think I am gonna eventually end up marrying one. Supposedly, the girls from Cali, Colombia are really pretty and educated. Any info on this would be appreciated. J.G.
