Okieman, the women are more professional and sincere in Panama. Why dont you give it a try. I won't charge you - the party is free. Just pay your air/hotel, etc. I am having a private party on 7/1. You can email me at info@tropic-romance.com. Several attractive ladies are planning to attend including some from both Panama and Colombia. my url is www.tropic-romance.com if anyone in particular strikes your fancy which i may have not yet invited. I guarantee you will find someone you like -and wont be like the Cali flakes

Papi,

It is very kind of you to invite me to Panama.  Who knows, at some point, I might go there.  But, for now, I have to concentrate on earning more money.  I work for a living, I am not retired.

Hey Okieman!!

Sorry to hear about your situation.

As you know...I met my fiancee in Lima Peru. I have been to Cali three times in 2002 and 2003. I also "put all my eggs in one basket" in Cali one time....and nothing panned out.

It is time for you to try another city. Many guys have had success in other cities after first going to Cali. The situation with Cali is that it has a very large percentage of very young uneducated women  ( 18 - 22). This is not the best wife material for a man who is in his late forties to fifties.

I would highly reccommend you give Lima Peru a try. Join Matchingsys.com or Cherry Blossoms. Lima has a larger percentage of older women for your age group. The women are also more educated and the women are much more receptive and Americans are still considered a "novelity" there.

While I may be biased towards Lima Peru. I honestly could recommend Bogota as well. While I did not find what I was looking for there in my two visits, it is a great place with very nice educated and mature ladies. ( over 25)

Do not give up on your quest Okieman. I have been to South America numerous times over a two year period before finding what I wanted.

Your special lady is out there as well.

Before your next trip....take the time to study as much Spanish as possible.

Feel free to email me at KFremont@aol.com if you have any more questions about Lima Peru or Bogota.

The best to you.

ChrisF,

Thanks for your comments and recommendations.  Last year, I did join Matchingsys.  I had my photo and profile listed, and I received many emails.  It's just that I have never seen very many attractive women on that website.  I even received emails from women who were not on that particular website, but were from Peru.  I just was not attracted to them.  Having said that, I will keep my options open on other cities.  I have also heard many good things about Medellin.  So, I certainly have many options. I just have to work for a while, and save my money, and then plan on where I will go.  In the meantime, life goes on.

Bro..don't get down, this has happened to most of us here one time or another.  Next time, go there and meet as many ladies as possible and slowly build a relationship with someone. E-mails won't do it.. One trip won't do it, I know that sucks but that's reality.. Anyone tells you different is full of you know what.  Long distance relationships are very difficult to maintain, you really need to spend more time in Colombia to find that special lady. I know this is difficult for most guys to do because of work, family , etc.. but it's essential.   Also do yourself a favor and learn spanish, there is nothing more important you can do with your time now then to learn spanish. It's a must if you intend to have a serious relationship with a latina.  You seem like a nice person and I wish you better luck in the future.. Stay positive and you'll find you're lady..

Pacino,

I hear you, and yes, I plan on learning more spanish, but it will take time.  I guess this seems to be part of the learning process.  I guess none of this is easy.

Hey Okieman,

Don't give up....in my earlier post I mentioned that I had written to many women and had received many letters, most of which were not for me...I met several of them, but nothing clicked until February of this year when I wrote to a woman from Venezuela who had been in the USA for five years and now lives in North Carolina. Our relationship is going strong, she is the most marvelous woman whom I ever met and treats me like a king!!!  While I don't claim success yet, I think we are well on the way.

Don't get discouraged over this, there are many wonderful women out there, some even in the USA. Good luck and keep looking...
