Richard,

  That is the problem with the majority of these sites. They do that
only to lure you in. They want to portray as many women as they
can. For 2 reasons. One because they they want to draw traffic to
their site. The problem with that is the guy who is paying for an
address or a phone number has just been ripped off!  The other is
they feel if they can reel you in and get you to an event that you will
be overwhelmed by all of the women and forget all about the ne
you were interested in.

  The only site that I know of that actually gives a status report is
Jamie's International-Introductions. there are some that will put a
married status. I have a better idea for this on my site.

   If you read my posting on Reference to Turoks posting i
commented on this problem with I Love Latins.

   I really hope I change the image of this busines. I really enjoy
reading all of the postings here it gives me an idol perspective on
things.

   Regards,

    Michael Hurles

     Coming Soon!

Enjoyed the story, although I probably haven't watched "A Current Affair" for 10 years. There were a couple of facts presented that I was wondering about, though. They said there were 5 women for every 1 man in Colombia, at least that is the impression one gets from watching this segment. Maybe "A Current Affair" meant that there was a ratio of 5 women to 1 man at the events/parties at LLM, that would make more sense. BTW, what is the ratio of women to men in Colombia?

Also, the story said that membership in LLM was $1,200.00, not including travel and hotel expenses, and I was wondering if "A Current Affair" got this right.

although it was a short segment, it was nicely done. basically an overview of the process, they focused on two guys, one in his late 40's the other in his late 30's, both divorced, both successful,the guy in his 30's first wife was also colombian, he met her through the same agency LLM, but complained that she wanted to be a princess and became americanized soon after they were married. the 40 year old was divorced twice and said his fear was the girls motivation, saying that some may just want to come here and get their citizenship, but that and the language barrier didn't seem to deter him. it appeared that neither one spoke spanish, if they did it was edited out. there was one guy age 71(looked good for his age) and his 35 year old fiancee. when i was in barranquilla in jan, i met a woman, mid 20's, friend of my girlfriends family who is engaged to a 50+ year old that she met through an agency, didn't have a chance to talk to her too much about her experience but she seems to be in love.

"A Current Affair-A good positive story portraying American men in Bogota on a mission to meet good Colombian women.Shot in part in our offices in Bogota !"

..chances are you know it will be. i'll be setting my vcr to see how it's presented, i'm curious to see how the agency, women and guys are shown. were any of the girls/guys interviewed?

They had a crew of 4 from New York in Colombia for about 5 days and they shot a lot of footage - interviews with guys, girls, at parties etc -  so I can't be sure what they will use but they told me it will be positive

All positive from my perspective!!!   typical, take about five days and a ton of footage for about a 5 minute segment but it sure will get some blood flowing...
Reminds me of our group, spent days working on several  movies to only have our hours and hours of footage cut down to a few minutes... oh well, that's show biz
