Would You Use Jamie's Services??

[Alabamaboy!]

I am interested to see the results of this.

[Flyboy777]

Although I've not used Jamies service, it seems like a terrific concept and I honestly think Jamie could do well in other cities because......   Each city in Colombia has a different "ambience" and attitude from the women there and for me, I prefer not to go to Barranquilla because I prefer the women of Medellin or Bogota.   I know I can't be alone on this.   


Is Jamie considering expanding?

Flyboy, there are currently girls on Jamie's website that live in other cities but I'm pretty sure all of them have strong ties to Barranquilla (family, work, etc.) and are there often. I was very interested in a girl from Bucaramanga that was with Latin-Wife but her and I could never get our schedules in sync. However, as of now the only International Introduction Operation is in Barranquilla and that's the only place Jamie offers his personal support. Jamie trains his translators very well and they are taught to do a lot more than just translate English from Spanish and vice versa. In the past men that have used his agency were so impressed with his more experienced translators that they paid for them to fly to other cities in Colombia to date women outside of Barranquilla. That's nothing out of the ordinary.
 
Although Jamie had very strong intentions of expanding his operations to other Colombian cities in the past, the last time I spoke to him he was more focused on making his website available in French, German and some other European languages, and finding new ways to optimize his site via internet search engines. 
 
I'm not sure why he doesn't participate in these forums anymore but I will ask him the next time we speak.

I have used his services a couple of times and I would recommend it.  I would also advise using common sense when dating the girls there.  My experience was that some of the ladies just really dont care that much and you can not waste any time or money on them, in other words its just like dating at home, if the girl does not seem sincere move on.  Jamie gives good advice so listen to that and your common sense, dont listen to your heart.

[Gato4Astrid]

If I am single, I don't think I would go to Jamie's despite of his great reputation, because I have just looked at ladies and can only find 5 ladies that attracted me.  $1,500 is lot of money for just 5 ladies!
If Jamie's service is in Medellin or Cali, I would think differently.  I like ladies in ACG more than ladies in Jamies, but I do not like the service with ACG.
In answer to your question, "Would you use Jamie's Service?"   My answer is: Yes, I would but not in Barranquilla.

Something that a lot of people do not know about Jamie's "selection" of women is the girls on the website probably only make up about 85% of the girls with his agency. I'm just pullling that number out of my a$$ but from my experience there and what I've seen other gringos experience I think that's a pretty accurate figure. It may actually be more. A LOT of the girls DO NOT want to be publicized online, but they are still interested in meeting gringos. These are some of the most physically attractive and serious girls. They've receive a ton of emails from gringos when they were on websites and don't want to be bothered with sorting through it all. So they tell Jamie exactly what kind of man they are interested in, and if you fit the bill Jamie will send your profile to them before your trip. Anyone that has used Jamie's introduction service can verify that they met really attractive girls that they didn't see on the site before their trip.

I have used Jamie's services, and I would totally recommend it to anybody.... even my closest friends or relatives (if they were single).  I also wish he wasn't in Barranquilla though.... its just sooo freakin miserably hot! 
 
I've even fantasized about moving to Colombia and just being a regular at Jamie's until I eventually find "the one" and tie the knot!
 
I wish I was rich and could live in an Penthouse condo in Pereira, and fly into barranquilla every other weekend (or whenever I wanted to) for new introductions from Jamie.
 
That would be my dream situation!

[JimD]

...the most physically attractive...girls...what kind of man they are interested in, and if you fit the bill...

Ha ha! I wonder what that would read like.
 

[benjio]

Exactly how you think, financially stable (rich). In good physical condition (male supermodel), no kids, no divorces, knows Spanish fluently, willing to move to Colombia. Duh! LMAO!

You didn´t mention "young" but apart from that I think you hit them all. Actually your description (+ young) is a running urban myth among colombianas. They all seem to have a girlfriend who´s currently dating such a guy. ¨Course they´re real short on details.

[chameleon]

^^ I'm young, not rich but have relatively high income (as of recently), and am relatively good looking. After one round of telephone i'll fit all of the above criteria heh.

[Gato4Astrid]

someone (I think it was JimD) mentioned that ACG has other site.   http://www.thecolombianrendezvous.com/


This site is a joke!!  Take a look at it.  Pick a lady and see for yourself.    It also states their sexual preferences!! Anal ? BlowJob ? HandJob ? .... so on !!!


Got to be kidding!!

[JimD]

Thanks for the link Gato...first time I´ve seen that site and yeah that is pretty wierd. What can he be thinking!!!

I have not used an agency and never felt the need, but if I was to use an agency, I think I would only consider jamie's based upon all the feedback I have seen on this board over the past several years.

I'm with you, Dan.

$1,500 isn't much in the larger scheme of things if you are actually planing of marrying a girl from Colombia.  Just a drop in the bucket.


Aside from the facts that Barranquilla is perhaps the least interesting major city in Colombia and I am kind of bored to death of it and that I don't think Jamie much cares for me and probably does not want my business, I would use it again if I had the time and money available.


I don't mean the fact that Barranquilla has little to see and do for its size be to be a major strike against it.  If it were a tourist city like Bogota, Medellin, or Cartegena  you wouldn't meet the same quality of women through an agency.  Women in tourist cities are fairly used to gringos so you are not as special or interesting.  Plus, gringos in tourist cities have bad reputations for only being interested in sex, so good girls will be more suspicious of your motives in those cities.

Yes, but not everyone prefers Morenas - that's the problem! 

[Alabamaboy!]

Jamie's place has morenas, but not nearly as many as I hot morenas as I would have guessed after spending a little time in BAQ. In fact, I would think that an agency that has more morenas would do great. There is one agency that has a lot more, but the agency itself is a joke, according to most info posted in the archives.......Amor De Cartagena.

I had contacted Amor de Cartegena few years ago, received the reply in ..........many days later, but never really answered my question.  Useless business!!!   I also found a lady with fake photo there and confronted the owner............ no reply.... and she was still there

[Alabamaboy!]

Yes many fake profiles, lots of shady stuff going on there at ADC, but he has some good looking girls there. Too bad a couple of the girls I was talking to from there told me there are tons of putas and party girls there. Well, I guess good thing if that is what you are looking for. But if looking for a wife, kind of a waste of time.

Much better and varied selection of women on the free sites such as cybercupido and you can communciate with them first to narrow your selection before going to Colombia to visit them personally. It works well
and pays great dividends if  one has  patience and a rudimentary knowledge of Spanish.

Cantinflas,
 
While what you are saying is true, individual mileage does vary a great deal.  I am not a fan of agencies myself, but there are many pluses for those guys who can afford them.
 
First of all, let's assume there's a desirable girl (attractive, reasonably young, no kids, etc.) who posts her profile.  For starters, for many girls posting their photos is a major negative - her friends, family or jealous ex-boyfriends might see her, and it could be embarrassing for a number of different reasons.  If a girl posts her photo with an agency it would be unlikely for anybody in Colombia finding her profile there.  Then...  She is getting TONS of letters, and many of them are either sleazy or nasty.  The chance that she will have courage to post her photo online, and then have patience to endure for long all those sleazy guys writing all kinds of weird sexual letters is not that good.  Further, to do the IM thing, she must have plenty of free time - not all the girls have an excess of it.  Further, with most of those sites the girl has to pay for membership.  FYI most girls cell phone balance in Colombia is close to 0.  Most professional girls simply will not have time for this, and the unemployed girls will not have money for membership and internet cafe fees.
 
Further, what you don't realize is that while a guy has to pay $1,500 or whatever the fee is, he saves TIME.  For some $1,500 is more valuable than their time, for others - their time is more valuable, usually because they can't afford agency fees.
 
Further, many of those profiles are fake.  Many girls post photos that are not current, or of their relatives, or even of some celebrity - there must be clueless guys who are writing to a photo of Andrea Rincon as we speak.  This happens more frequently than you realize.
 
So, most guys hope that if they use an agency, the girls will be real, available, and additionally agencies claim that they exclude goddiggers and prostitutes.  I am not sure how well they do that, but they claim it as a selling point.

This is a very even-handed post in my opinion. 


I don't know how an agency can really say for certain it has excluded all the undesirables.  Some men and women don't make it obvious what their intentions are.  I think it is important that once an agency ascertains that a man/woman is harming others, that it takes action.

It is true for some.   It is no difference to hiring Wedding planners for couples weddings.    It is either because the couples do not have time planning their own weddings due to many reasons, or do not know how to plan their own.

I did use cybercupido also for a while and did not have good results. Vast majority seemed to be interesadas, or even prepagos, while at Jamie's or on my own seemed like  majority are good. But I am sure if you had a lot of time on your hands to spend on these sites it is possible to find someone.
