Meeting women in their mid 30s

[DOMINGUIN]

I am going to Bogota and Cali for 3 weeks and leaving in 5 weeks. I have registered with Odee in Bogota and will also probably consider Latin American Introductions.  I am 50, and at this point looking for a potential wife who is at least in her mid 30s up to 42 or so.  I don;t want to put any pressure on myself, if I can have a pleasant time doing some sightseeing and enjoy the company of a few attractive women that will be a great vacation.  I have corresponded with men who tell me that my perceptions of the age difference will change once I arrive in Cali, and that may be so.  But, can any man who has been to Cali give me some ideas on whether any of the agencies has a higher percentage of women in that age group, or any ideas of how to meet ladies in that age group.  My Spanish at this point is rudimentary.

Thanks Dominguin

When will you be arriving in Cali? I'll be there from the 26th of June until the end of July.

Have a good trip Dominguin!  You have probably already done so, but check out the archives from those that have been to Bogota and Cali.  Many posters have written detailed trip reports.  

BTW, there is a number of us fellow Portlanders who have made the trek south.  If you want to get together sometime, drop me a line.

I haven't read all the posts below yet (quite a lot of them) so if somebody already mentioned this forgive me. You say your Spanish is 'rudimentary'...well, if you can plod through a web site that is all in Spanish (OK to use a dictionary), let me highly recomend the 'busca amigos' section of the www.caliescali.com website. You have to register and post your own profile (picture optional) before it will let you in, but once you are in, it has a large selection of women (and men) of ALL ages, at least 100 women with pictures posted (some of them fine looking, so just so-so) in the age range you mentioned (and, not to step on anybody's toes, but I think you're looking in the right range, I'm 52 and my fiancee just turned 40----and BTW I met her on this site, so I KNOW it works). Anyway, once you register, you can do a search on age, location, etc. AND send email to them for free...I was writing in Spanish (a plus), did not have my picture posted (a minus) and got about 50% responses from those I wrote to and maybe 10 more who contacted me first. Writing in English, your response rate won't be that high, but if you post a nice picture of yourself and mention that you are actualy going to BE THERE within a month, I'll bet you get maybe 20% to 30% response. BE THERE is a huge plus, many women have been burned by the 'he always writes/calls me but he never TRAVELS' syndrome....they say only about 3% or 4% of the guys who write a woman (even lots of letters to the same woman over a long time) actualy show up to meet the woman in person. One thing about sending email on that website, it does NOT save what you sent, so better write your letter in Word Pad or something similar and save it and then paste it into the email box, or your won't have a record of what you sent.

Even if you don't register for 'busca amigos', you can still get into most of the web site and it has nice news, resturant and club reviews and a whole pile of other useful things....did I mention the 'Las CaleNas' (girls of Cali) swim suit section?  

Well, welcome aboard P-L and good luck to you.

D.,

I was in Bogota for the first time in March of this year and used the services of Odee. My experience with them was very good and the ladies I meet were all superb, both in the looks and intelligence department. They have some very classy ladies in your range on the books. My target range was 28-35 and the 30-somethings I met were all very attractive women, both outside and inside. I'm currently in steady communication with one of the ladies I met, she's 33 y/o and a doll. As a matter of fact, I'll be going back to see her in June. If you have any specific questions about Odee, email me off the air and I'll be happy to help if I can.

Good luck on you upcoming adventure... You will not be disappointed in either city...

When I started this process, I was much like you... Searching for a mid-30s lady, some Ingles, no children, educated and searching for a life partner...

For whatever reason, I never met the girl of my dreams in Cali... I know, I must be blind, deaf and stupid... But hey, after 4 trips to Cali, I never felt much chemistry with any of the girls I met there...

I then went to Bogota and on my first trip I met my wife... Instant chemistry... Then things just got better from there... The more time we spend together, the more we find that we have in common... She is everything I was searching for and more...

My only experience with an agency in Bogota has been Latin American Intro, so I can't comment on Odee... I have not heard anything negative about Odee and there have been some positive posts during the year I have been folloiwing this forum... I can't say enough about LAI... This is where I met my wife... Of the half dozen agencies I have delt with in Colombia, I would have to rank LAI as the best in my book... I sure others will disagree, but hey, it's my opinion...

One thing to be careful of, the "kid in the candy store" mentality... I have seen it many times... A gringo goes south with the intentions of searching for a girl in his perceived age group, only to be blinded by the hot 22 year old... As others have stated, a large age difference is not always a bad thing, but be aware that a large age gap coupled with the cultural differences can be a recipe for disaster...

Get ready for the ride of your life... The first trip is always an "E" ticket ride...

Buen suerte...

I am 45 and my wife is 35.  She is a very beautiful woman, no kids, and never married.  She had been hurt very bad in a long relationship and had focused on her career.  I met her in a bank.  I almost did not try talking to her, and it was just a sudden impulse that made me say something.  Don't hesitate to say hello with a real smile to ladies you see outside of the agencies.

For Hiker:

What a lovely way to meet your wife.  OK, I will try to talk with women without rings on their right hand outside of the agencies.  I hope I don;t get shot be some jealous Colombiano!  For me its going to take some courage, especially trying to speak in Spanish. I have been practicing a bit trying to start conversations with American women in Portland, either in stores or on the street, but keeping the conversation light, obviously speaking in English, but never quite "closing" for a cup of coffee or a telephone number.  Thanks Dominguin

I did the samething.  It had been a while since I had approached women that I did not know.  I started making it a point here of just saying good morning etc.  Go down there remembering the little things like holding the door, having a smile, etc.  It will go a long way.  Be careful of what you do there.  For a city of it's size, word sure has a way of getting around quickly among the girls.  If a man wants a week of remembering what it is like to hold a twenty year old in his arms all night, he can find that.  If a man wants a woman who will be beside him forever, he can find that also.  One night you keep the young hardbody with you, the next day the perfect wife-material woman will likely know it.  Word gets around in the agency quickly.

You will like your trip.

I'm a man made out of flesh and blood, and I admit that I've been lonely for some time.  But, your point about spending a night with young "eye candy" being a topic of gossip in an agency or among agencies is well taken. Personally, I don't think I would be too attractive to a very young woman!  Thanks Dominguin

You might find that a little easier than you think ... but it is not worth blowing a chance for something real.

Wise words about the gossiping, Hiker. I sat a few times in
Ricardo's living room, and listened in to the secretary as
she chatted with some girls who waited for citas. The secretary detailed the day and night jaunts of each man in the agency--whether he was
staying there or not. Ricardo still speaks to his ex-wife, so they
will know if you are having citas at both agencies.
And their children toggle between the two agencies frequently.
Ricardo once invited me to share a sauna with two 19-year olds.
Within minutes his daughters stuck their heads in to say hello I
say them 10 minutes later at their mother's agency.

It is safe to assume that many of the girls
will know where you have been before you arrive.

I agree totally with Steve and Kit. I have never stayed at Latin Best because I have an apartment. But, I have used Luz Amparos services for over two years. Prior to that It was Latin Love, which closed. The interesting thing about Luz is that she actually knows her girls and often will pick a girl for you that seems to be perfect or at a minimum interesting. Her prices are the best and I have never been stood up by any girl there. A women in late thirties is perfect for me and Luz has a lot of them in her books. Some of the other agencies push the young girls because there are so many of them. LB actually tries to find a match for you. Actually early thirties would be acceptable for you. jim c
