[canyonaro]

for some of those who went the agency route, go ahead and throw at me a few of those personal (little known, not so obvious) do's and don'ts. I'm not really the frugal type, i mean shelling out some money in search of everlasting love and happiness doesnt sound like a bad deal but i do like to know what I am getting into as far as being dropped into a room with beautiful ladies everywhere. so come on fellas share what you would have done differently/better or what may have helped you out if you had known in advance while embarking on the adventure..... Thanks all

From what I gather from most guys who've been there, Jamie doesn't 'sugar coat' the situation down there or misrepresent the women that list with him. It sounds like some guys have gotten burned by not listening to him and that some other agencies are more prone to just produce women and let what ever happens, happen without any extra guidance.

Keep in mind that agencies are business that to keep going need to make a profit and that you should always choose carefully. There is a lot of talk here in previous posts on the subject and you should weigh each post on a number of factors, including whether the poster is a competitor, a current or former client, an interested observer, which the category I fall into here, or something else. Some persons have biases one way or another for whatever reasons, so it's best to read up a bit.

A lot of agencies portray an almost fairy tale like situation and too many guys are more than happy to eat it up, hook, line and sinker and then end up getting burned.

Then, amazingly enough, they often return and do the same thing all over again. They're like moths drawn to a flame, but in this case, the flame is enticing women.

I've never used an agency, but if I didn't know the language, the land and the culture and didn't have many if any connections there, I'd strongly consider it.

Even if you had a good handle on the situation you're going to, I think guys who make at least two or three trips, end up with marriages that tend to last longer than the guys who make one trip and picking from a pretty small pool of sexy ladies, zero in on one way too soon and are blinded to situational factors, never mind not seriously considering other gals who might make better wives for them in the long run.

Guy's who don't speak Spanish down there and don't have some help to let them know what's really going on--namely how differently the game is played down there, seem like they're putting themselves into a real precarious situation.


Be careful what you wish for and take your time, even once you think you've pretty much got it figured out. If she loves you THAT much, she's going to wait a while, so that both of you know it has a good chance of working out. I am not saying string her along and make her wait years or anything like that--daily communication's very important and isn't that expensive, especially instant messaging with a cam.

'Surprise' phone calls here and there can also be a good thing and confirm any feelings or suspicions you might have. Above all, you want to be able to feel secure that each party isn't playing games--that they're where they say they'll be when they say they'll be and don't sound different--'weirded out' because you caught them at an --shall we say 'inopportune time'?


On the other hand, if you rush and things don't work out, it's probably going to cost you a lot more than the cost of a few trips and taking an appropriate amount of time it otherwise would've taken you.

Divorces are rarely cheap or easy and if you marry a gal who can't really support herself after a divorce and/or kids are involved, it'll be heavy duty and you may be paying for years. Almost all this potential 'dark side' can usually be avoided if you do things cautiously the first time.

There's a 'sucker born every minute' they say and some guys end up becoming 'suckers' when they put themselves in dumb situations, and it doesn't have to be that way.

Furthermore, some guys here make it sound like you have to be pretty well off financially to make this happen--to do it right, so to speak. I can attest that it's not so.

While money always helps with extra trips and to pay agencies, etc., I know guys who just barely make the minimum the govt. requires you to make to demonstrate that if you marry and things fall apart, that you can still support her until hopefully she can support herself.

These are guys who've still brought brides back from Latin America, and Asia and sometimes, ladies with college degrees and higher earning potential here than themselves. I am talking about guys at the entry level of jobs like janitors, pharmacy techs and others, some of them still living with their parents even.

Jamie always seems to generate a lot of emotion around here, both good and bad. I know very little about him other than what I read. He's been a regular contributor for some time and offers non-sugar coated advice. He is in the business of hooking foreign men up with Colombian women so keep that in mind. On one hand he's seen a whole lot of good, bad and ugly relationships, on the other he's in it to profit. It's your call how you weigh each of these facts.

Here's something I advised someone else just getting started: http://www.planet-love.com/forum/index.php?topic=5713.msg71406#msg71406

I have spent quiet a bit of time researching agencies (talking to people, web-sites, etc).  I feel that at this time this is the only agency worth doing business with.  I cant even find a legit competitor.  If there are any with proven success stories where I can talk to the people and it doesn't involve a membership or reoccurring fee I would love to see the site and talk to the people

   I have used plenty of agencies in the past and I think the main thing to remember is that you are the one that ultimately chooses the lady you will be with.(Actually you and the lady will choose to be together).While I listened to whatever an agency owner had to say about the women I kept in mind that if things didn't work out I would be the one going through the divorce.However, I don't think an agency owner likes to see his clients fail because it is better to have satisfied clients than ones that had relationships that didn't work out.

   Finding a woman that you can have a lasting relationship with is too much to put on someone else,IMHO.While someone can help you find a good woman, making it work is up to you and your woman.All I ever really expected from an agency is that they keep the single babes in front of me so I could meet them.

   So relax and have fun.Go meet some babes.Get to know them and let them get to know you.You might find some young chica(or even some old broad) that you want to take things further with.
