Don't laugh about the e-harmony thing, it was a Christmas present from my brother. An interesting fact about e-harmony is that 99.7% of the women are deleted automatically for you. Still, I've received about 10 matches ranging from 38 year olds (I'm 35) to BBW (Big, Beautiful Women). LOL!!!! There are a couple of women I've decided to follow-up on, but for the price, try another site.
Amigos.com was a bit disappointing after a month of sending e-mails and superficial "winks" back and forth. At first the Colombian women may seem like many, but then you realize it is the same 100 women who log on almost everyday. I assume they are overwhelmed with tons of e-mails from everywhere. If they are regular members, they can only respond to 1 e-mail a day, except if you pay $19.99/month for them to be able to contact you. You might want to give it a try, but match.com international is best.
I just joined match.com international after coming to the sad conclusion that I would have to postpone my next trip to Colombia until May. Make sure you sign up on Match.com international, rather than Match.com. You'll have access to all the latinas in the U.S. and beyond. The site is user friendly. Interestingly, I found two women from LE on the site. I had been very interested in one of them, but her profile on match.com international made me realize she is not what I'm looking for. I signed up for 3 months for $19.99. I'd say it is a reasonable price, especially in light of the developments at LE, where it now costs $29.99/month just to see the profiles. If you'd like the women to be able to contact you as well, it is $24.99 for three months. You can also narrow your search to women from a specific country, state or even city, which is great and not available on amigos.com.
I'm not suggesting that you join one of these sites in lieu of going to Colombia or another country. However, if your trip is a few months away like mine, this is a great way to spend your time, practice your Spansih and increase the possiblities on your trip.
