Prepago al Maximo

[z_k_g]

Since 1999 or there abouts posting on P-L (in the latin area) has indicated an interest in Latin, mostly Colombian women for many reasons including but in no way limited to "dedicated wife-hunting".  If a moderator/owner here sent everything that wasn't posted by posters self described as married to colombianas or other latinas or posters posting direct posts about marrige to latinas to the "Off Topic" area this forum would dry up over night.

Jim,
 
I agree with your response, but you will have to admit you are speaking, "in general" correct?
 
I am basing my observation SPECIFICALLY on Zon and his postings.
 
He is a "wife-hunter" in my opinion (no matter what his profession).
 
Why do I conclude this?
 
Because he ALWAYS leaves marriage open as a possibility.  Read his posts, he never closes the door on the possibility of marriage.  I think that is pretty telling to his true motives.
 
Shakespear said it much better....
 
"The lady doth protest too much, methinks." from Hamlet, Act III, scene II.
 
In my opinion, Zon insists so passionately about something not being true that I suspect the opposite of what he is saying
 
Of course this is just my opinion....

Sometimes, I feel like I talk to a wall! I have been open, perhaps more so than anyone else, as to my interests, involvement and orientations. 

I certainly think marriage is a institution that works for many. However, I do not think we, as men, should gloss over the disadvantages and challenges.  I am to the idea of marriage for myself - BUT, I think it is best to find a person that I want to marry FIRST:)  Rather than have the need/ desire, and then find a woman to marry SECOND. HAHAHA  Pretty well said after all.

I don't know about FT but I don't want to be in such a "minority" that looks down it nose at others. Besides I disagree with you.

FINE!  The subject of "why I seem negative about WifeHunters" came up, and I answered it honestly.   It does not need to be a fact.  Most of of the gringos I know and like in Colombia would readily agree with my "rude" comments.  Many of the translators that work for agencies would agree as well.  Hell, some of the agency owners have said such things.  ( NO! I am not going to produce witnesses:) so just relax)

But, it does not need to be true for you!   I did not realize I was going to insult anybody personally here.  I was just writing what is true and "factual" for me.  I was even sort of gentle about it!

I am just wondering what happened to the hot Colombiana that this thread is supposed to be about.

[Bob_S]

By now she found some love lorn fool to marry her and take her back to the land of malls and money.


The tangent about Zon and his background, as if that hasn't been done to death a dozen times already, has been split off and dumped in the flame room.

I'm leaving for South America tonight but won't be back in Bogota until the 21st. "Liz" has invited me to some black tie Christmas Party with her and some friends. The bad news is I have to carry a suit to Colombia. The good news is I may get to mingle with some of Colombia's elite...which is always an interesting exercise. I'll post a report no matter what happens. At this point I'm just enjoying the ride.

Contrary to popular belief, there's quite a bit of "malls and money" in Colombia. I don't think this young lady will be leaving for anything outside of a vacation any time soon.

Have fun Benjio ... I'll be waiting with the popcorn.

Re malls and money, you're right.  Almost all the malls I've been in have been quite opulent, and nicer than the vast majority of the ones here in Canada.  That was a big surprise to me, after my previous Latin American experience being Cuba, the DR, and small resort towns in Mexico.

Benjio,

Can't wait to read what happens, a very interesting and captivating encounter.

Whitey, you mentioned having been in the D.R. and Cuba. What has been your experience in those countries regarding finding a wife. I keep seeing the majority of D.R. women stating in their profiles that they don't care at all about a man's age, which makes me think that they are former or current prepagos, of which I understand are great numbers in the Dominican Republic. Why else would a fairly good looking dominicana without children accept a man up to 70 or 80 years old?

i think this is the longest posted thread  in PL history lol


Benjio, hope your trip goes well and cant wait for the report with this girl. be safe and have fun in bogota, i always did

I don't know why some guys just don't get it when it comes to marriage agencies.


The initial motivation for the vast majority of women who join an agency is a financial one....they are hoping to move up. Not that they can't fall in love or be a good wife in the end....but their motivation is quite different than the lonely american looking for a wife..... in the beginning at least.


Women that are wide open to what kinds of men they are willing to meet are also probably wide open as to what type of relationships they are willing to engage in.


One 80 year olds prepago could probably be a 30 year olds lifelong loving wife. These women play the hand they are dealt...... and some play very well.


Trying to figure out which ones are good and which ones are bad is kind of pointless...what they end up doing in their lives seems to have a lot more to do with the circumstances they find themselves in rather than what kind of moral character they are brought up with.


If you want to find one that hasn't committed countless sins before marriage....then try and find one that is relatively well off.....young and without children.


 If she is early twenties and her family depends on her to help out financially at home....well that is NOT a good sign....unless you can verify a track record of legitimate employment. LOL!!!

Hey Vikingo:

I was only in the DR for one week at a resort with my ex-wife maybe 15 years ago ... so I know next to nothing about the DR.  I do remember seeing the most beautiful woman I've seen in real life on the beach there, topless.  The entire beach was staring at her until she got tired of it and left after a half hour ... but that's how stunning she was.  And all real.

Re Cuba, I've only been there once, but researched a fair amount and talked with several friends.  I would never recommend looking for a wife there, but you can have one heck of a great time in a city like Havana.  I found the women very attractive, there's a ton to do there, with great bars and jazz music, and of course a very unique and interesting culture.

But the women have been raised without much/any religious grounding, in desperate times under a communist government that forces everyone to be dishonest just to survive.  I could never trust a cubana (although there's probably a few exceptions as always).

WOW, I see you been busy in 28 days Zon!!!
No I am not pissed off about anything you say or post. You have made your points time and time again, and I have simply pointed out their flaws or lack of actual intelligent thought. You simply never follow through, as I do have a very different perspective, obviously every observer can view the same environment differently, so naturally I have a very different perspective on the same subject.
Yes my perspective of wife-hunters is very different, I choose to ignore the reasons they fly down simply because they are too numerous, and concentrate on the social good they can create, and good intentions they have when they arrive. Its naive I know, but again it’s my perspective.
I have seen many types of gringos in Colombia, the least offensive are the guys looking to raise a family by getting married. Yes it’s difficult, yes “happily married after” is mostly a delusional dream, you have every right to point out their faults, and issues as I have with those who Seek Life before Wife.
A good bunch of ego junkies who wander the streets of Medellin, annoying any unfortunate attractive women who cross their path. These guys are active bar hoppers in their never ending search to get laid without paying for it, but mostly do! They seek conservation and cultural interaction on the level of a toddler, because they simply cannot speak the language. OH sure the Charlie is packed with these savvy culturally hip guys all chasing the same Natalie preze nickel. Their better then us because they came to Medellin to live LIFE, NOT BECAUSE OF THE WOMEN! WOW I really envy you, I really do   
You come off calling me Self-righteous, did you actually read your own opinions on wife-hunters? WTF is that? Seriously…………………………………
It’s not that I do not understand the statement, that Colombia makes me feel younger, it’s that I CALL IT OUT AS THE BULL [snip] IT IS. SOCIAL VALUE……….B.S. Tell me what social value?? Explain to me WHY? Yeah I thought so……………………………………….You want to look at Colombia without seeing the “social underbelly” ZON Colombia today exists BECAUSE of the social underbelly!
