Well, here's my opinion. And as Badge 714 used to say when asked for his opinion "My opinion and fifty cents will buy you a cup of coffee in any cafe in this city".

Appearance can encompass many things.
1) Physically handsome-Don't look like the Hunchback of Notre Dame or Dr. Frankenstein’s monster...anything better than those two examples is acceptable.
2) Dress-Doesn't have to be expensive, but does have to be neat, coordinated and appropriate for the occasion.
3) Good grooming-A must.

Do the agencies write the womens' profiles? Some do, some provide a 'I have these attributes and I want a man with those attributes' list for them to pick from. Some coach the ladies a little (or a lot), some provide an accurate translation of what the lady actually said, some (through incompetence) provide a not so accurate translation of what the lady said.......even the agencies that coach the ladies, most of them do it with a 'put your best foot forward' attitude, not an outright attempt of deception.

Michael B,

I liked the Dragnet, Joe Friday comment.  Well, naturally you are right.  It's just that there are some points that are more glaring than others.  Even a guy with no more experience than me can see that the picture being painted on the websites are, in many cases pure bull!  Having said that, guys like me need the agencies, up to a point.  Mainly because I am not yet fluent in spanish, but also because I can't move down there, or stay for really long periods of time.  So, that is one thing that I think should be mentioned-- with the hope that the misconception will not continue.  I just wish some of the other things I am trying to learn were as easy to correct. ha

OKM,
you're right on the money.  I have yet to meet a latina that isn't very careful about her appearance, and just as interested in the appearance of her novio, even on a date, they will sometimes suggest what you wear, etc.  one said to me that the appearance of her man reflects on her, ie. is she taking care of him like she should...

Richardo,

Yes, that is a true picture of the ladies' viewpoint, I am sure.  So, I am trying to do my part, and maybe a few more men will benefit by our comments.

Should have read your post before I posted mine. "the appearance of her man reflects on her, ie. is she taking care of him like she should... "......I hear that often (but in a good way, like when she's bought me a new shirt or somesuch)

You can see it in public as well. It seems they pay attention to others to see if they are watching them. Most Latinas don't dress sexy for you but for themselves to try to show their sexiness and beauty to orhers.
