Any agencies that DON'T require memberships?.

[Frank O]

I was wondering if any of the top agencies Latin Encounters, Latin Best etc have an option where you can purchase an address or phone # from a lady as opposed to buying a multi hundred $$ membership? It seems ridiculous to me to pay such exorbitant prices. It's like as if they want you to go over there first. I'd prefer to correspend with a lady THEN decide whether I want to invest $3K + to go visit her. It seems @$$ backwards to me. ANyone?

If you just want to correspond, goto www.amigos.com there you will be able to see and correspond to thousands if you wish. some of them may not be marriage oriented, but it is still cheaper and you can sift through the girls quickly.  i went this road and wouldnt recommend it. going in person and meeting girls is the way to go. there are way too many caveats with corresponding such as you never really get to know the person. when i was corresponding first (with 5 girls) then came to see them in person i only recognized 2 of them and liked none (unlike their pictures). but it kept me occupied for 7 months.

I wrote about 5 & narrowed it down to 1 in LUgansk, Ukraine. I went to see her & she was MORE beautiful than her pics! LOL!!! I mean STUNNINGLY beautiful. While there I decided to arrange to meet another one I had been writing but since had "terminated" our "relationship". SAME THING!!! She was MORE beutiful in person. I was in paradise while there. I dated a total of 6. However I'm half Latino. I have to say the women there did not have the same "heat" Latina's have. They might be later on I guess after you marry but on a short term basis you can't compare them AT ALL. I have no complaints about going I plan on it but I want to write several before going. However with what you just said it makes me wonder if these Latinas try deceive with their pics. I have to say I guess the Ukrainians have one up on them as they are ever MORE beautiful than their pics...now if you could only put the Latino heat in em. lOL!!!

To each his own.

It's been long debated here, but many of us feel that you can't judge the chemistry until you meet the woman in person.  I wish I had a million dollars for every time I've seen a man post that when he met the woman he realized immediately that she wasn't the one.  I'd be a multi-millionaire!

That's why most of us use an agency to meet multiple women in a short period of time, face to face.  If you want to make a trip to another country every time you think you've found someone interesting the process can get very expensive and time consuming.

If you do make the trip you can then bargain a good weekly rate at an agency, at least in Cali.  I saw someone post that LatinBest has a one week rate of about $100.

If you want to play "PostMan" with these girls you can buy addresses, some of them email, from South of the Border (www.sotb.com).  I did that 4 years ago.   There are other agencies that sell addresses, but you'll have to search for them.  Or you can go to one of the online meeting places like www.caliescali.com .  It's worth clicking on their link just to see the Calenas.

PS - A lot of foreign women won't invest much effort "communicating" with you long distance.  They don't take you as seriously until you appear in their country.

All very good points. There is price "flexability" at both Latin Best and allcolombiangirls but so far as I know Latin Encounters is pretty rigid about membership. Another amigos.com style website that I found to be pretty good is cybercupido.com. You can also combine TLC catalog addresses with a trip to Cali or other Colombian city.

I've been to Kiev & Lugansk this past November. I had a great time. I had one lady I was corresponding with but did make provision for others if things weren't as great or "just in case". Well I went out with 5 others no prob. However my complaint with the Latin agencies is I prefer to write to them PRIOR to going. As for girls not wanting to correspond with you sorry buddy I disagree, many don't just want some guy to pop up & meet them & fall in love. Let's get real here. I'm NOT advocating writing one & going to see her. I'm taking about not having to pay $500 or some ridiculous price & expect to show up & date a bunch of girls. I did that in Kiev, I'm NOT complaining. HOWEVER I did NOT have to pay $500. I paid on a per lady basis & paid for my flat. I think it's silly to pay $500 or $700 or whatever with a "guarantee" that you will marry. I would prefer to write say 3-5 ladies correspond for several months, go see them & WHILE there make plans to see other if necessary. It seems like their trying to sucker you into showing up & flattering by having some SUPER attractive hot blooded Latina showing interest in you. It's more than looks man. But that's what is seems like to me.

The best option then is to write directly to the agencies of your choice and ask them specifically to sell you N addresses of the ladies. I am sure they all will work it out for you. Also keep in mind that many agencies have only a fraction of pictures on the web compared to what they have in the books.

It occurs to me that the local agencies might consider girls full names and addresses to be privilaged information. They all know there is a pretty strong information network amonst us and if that info on the prettiest girls got widely circulated they wouldn't have much left to sell.
