Latin America is not some other world where the rules of attraction do not apply. Competition does not vanish in South America. You are competing with other men just as you do in America. Your advantage is that you are a much stronger candidate here than your local equivalent. Furthermore, since very few American men are aware of this option, your opportunity for success is even greater. The Latin mail order bride agencies would have you believe that you can get anyone you want, but this is not true. Without a doubt you can do better, but your qualities determine how much better. Physical appearance is certainly a factor, but I have never met an American man with a Latin American bride who believed he could ever get such a caliber of woman at home.

More lies. Your age and looks will be the first two things they evaluate. The younger you look, the better looking you are, and the more qualities and youthfulness you have, the younger you can go. What is true is that you can generally knock about ten years off the minimum age you could attract at home.

For example, if you are 40 years old and able to date local women as young as 32, then you should have no problem finding an even better looking 22-year-old Latin bride. Yes, the degree of beauty will also substantially improve. A beautiful young American woman would not notice my existence, while my wife, a beautiful young Colombian woman, finds me quite exceptional, yet I´m a typical guy. An average man with average qualities will have no problem attracting a very good-looking Latin wife. Believe me, the difficulty will not be finding one beautiful Latin woman, but trying to select from the multitudes of Latin women who will express an interest in you.

If you are an average American, you will be considered "filthy rich." by Colombian standards. Most Latin American women live in conditions that you would not find acceptable. The monthly minimum wage is less than what many Americans make in a day. It will be impossible for you to be considered "plain."

While many Colombian women have a good work ethic and learn responsibilities early in life, you should anticipate one to two years of full financial support for your Colombian bride while she improves her English and adjusts to life in the U.S. You should have a clear understanding of what both your economic roles will be. Most foreign Latin brides will prefer to be primarily housewives and mothers while some will want to work. For those Colombians with professional jobs in Colombia, it is not likely that they would be able to find equivalent work in the U.S. For example, a Colombian dentist would be, at best, a dental assistant in the U.S. The reason for this is that the quality of education is much lower in Colombia. Her university degree would not be equivalent to a like degree in the U.S., nor would her university credits be transferable. For example, a Colombian with a nursing degree from Colombia would have to start from the beginning to pursue the same nursing career in the U.S. The mail order bride agencies not only inflate the educational level of their women, they hide the usability of that education outside of Colombia.

They must have done their census count in the women´s restroom. Outside the ladies room, the ratio of women to men for both the U.S. and Colombia is about 100 women for every 98 men. And believe me those "extra" women are not in the age range you or I would want to marry.

Colombia is no paradise for Latin women. Unemployment is often over 20%. The educated are usually under-employed. The poverty level is over 50%. Crime is high, and the Latin man is typically unfaithful. These are the conditions that present opportunities unavailable to you in the U.S. While Colombian women are not looking to jump the boat because they know of no other conditions, they are receptive to exploring a long-range romance leading to marriage. The key word is romance. Yes, they want a better life and brighter future, as do you, but not without the romance and passion from a good, loving, respectful husband.

I wonder how that interview would go.
Interviewer: "Lady, are you a no-good happy time, visa-hunting, undesirable gold digger?"
Lady: "No."
Interviewer: "Congratulations, you passed our rigorous screening and selection process!"

Believe me, the mail order bride services don´t even screen their employees, let alone the Latin women they want you to meet. Discovering your woman´s background and character is an interactive process, best accomplished by spending quality time together along with regular correspondence and telephone calls. Therefore, we leave the screening up to you; fortunately, it is rare to meet a Latin woman who is good at concealing her insincerity. Most Latin women are transparent. Even so, we do help. We document any interesting behavior we witness from the women in our database, and we will share this information with you. We remove women from our agency who reveal dishonesty, wrong intentions, or bad behavior. We look out for the best interests of both the man and the woman, so neither is taken advantage of by the other. We provide you with hundreds of questions you can use to help judge the compatibility you may have with a woman of interest, and we provide our experienced, objective observations for your consideration. If you have any concerns about a woman you are with, we can provide added assistance. What it comes down to is this, we give you the access and means to meet beautiful Latin women, but ultimately, you must provide the scrutiny and good judgment to choose a good wife.

All this is true to the extent that when you order a fajita you´re speaking some Spanish too. The truth is that very few Latin American women speak any English at all, which is why we provide an accurate two-way translation service for both telephone conversations and written correspondence. If you meet up with a Latina that speaks English that is great. Both of you can quickly be on your own right away without our translation services. But for most of you the convenience and clarity of our timely translation exchange will be the best way to ensure that what you say is understood, and likewise for her. The "Final comments" sections of each profile indicate who can speak English.

Translation software is far from perfect, but it is adequate for casual exchanges. There are many free translation software packages on the Web. However, for accurate adult communications, you should not rely on translation software. Many intended words are likely to be misinterpreted or even the opposite of what was meant, which is why we provide a personal, human translator fluent in both Spanish and English for times of important communications. When using translation software, it is important that you and the woman do not use slang, abbreviations, or words that can have multiple meanings; you should also avoid complex sentences, misspelled words, and bad grammar, all of which can confuse or mislead the intended message.

Your first letter should be friendly and confident. Thank her for accepting your invitation to meet. Tell her more about yourself. She already knows what´s in your profile, so dig deeper. Expand on what you do, where you live, and your interests and goals. Avoid too many details in the beginning, just present a few highlights and keep it humble. She does not need to know about your possessions or income. Latin women have a good appreciation for American humor, but limit your humor to one or two points or they may think you are not serious. Avoid jokes that play on words. Humor is good, but some jokes don´t cross over from one culture to another.

Be Be positive and polite. Do not overwhelm her with complications, problems, or topics she might not be familiar with. Make sure you indicate why you are writing. She will want to know what in particular attracted your attention, but try not to say the obvious. Be creative with your complements. Point out something others might not see. Saying "youre beautiful" to a beautiful girl doesn´t mean much when everyone else is saying the same thing. Latin American women take pride in their home, so don´t say anything negative about their country. Remain courteous and avoid negative comments about your past relationships. End your letter with two or three meaningful questions, thank her for her time, and tell her you would welcome hearing from her.

For future letters, focus more attention on her; do not talk just about yourself. Write on subjects that are important to you and find out what is important to her. Answer all of her questions, and write back to her as soon as possible; a fast turn around tells her you have a high interest.

When you return home, the length, frequency, and content of your girlfriend or fiancée´s letters will demonstrate the extent of her interest. A Latin woman in love will want frequent communication with her boyfriend or fiancé. When distance is involved, writing is critical to establishing and maintaining a bond. Words reveal shared values and goals, compatibility, and mutual interest, the same ingredients that foster a long-term commitment. Once you have made the first step to opening her heart, and until you are together, ongoing correspondence is your best way to keep her heart.

You can deal with the others´ South American concept of time, Siestaville, or our American standards for speed and ease. As a hands-on, on-site owner, I personally make sure our services and results significantly exceed what you would get from other South American marriage agencies. You receive a high value return on a lifetime decision, a wonderful Latin wife.

The Latin mail order brides agencies obviously plan on your being around for a while. We deliver a faster approach. International Introductions give you all the benefits without the fee obligations and duration of a membership. We don´t need to lock you in with a membership. Our services stand on their own. Since we´re not a club, we´d rather you "join" with your new Latin wife, instead of with us.

Now if what they do works, why would they have to entice you to come back with a deep discount? For that matter, if the foreign bride "marriage tours" were so successful, why would anyone be a repeat customer? Latin tours can be fun, but if you have serious intentions of finding a Latin wife, our approach is better. Our method eliminates the crowds, distractions, and indignity of the marriage tour by providing you personal attention and guidance in a proper setting suited to building a relationship. What we do works. Personal Introductions. You´ll depart a happy customer and won´t have to try again as a repeat customer.

As for the their prices, using our introductions service we give you all of the above for a much lower price and with greater speed and reliability. We provide a guaranteed communication connection (translation, address and delivery) for less than what the competition charges for a translation or an address. We simply do more for less. Please see Pricing and Services for details.

So you get more of something that wasnt any good to begin with. What a bargain! We, on the other hand, make a simple commitment. We say what we do and do what we say. All the Latin women on the website are current, available and joined our marriage agency voluntarily. Our work does not end with your purchase, either. We are involved in the process of long distance matchmaking and we will use a variety of methods to facilitate that end. No other Latin marriage agency will do as much for you. What you see in them and get from us is our most effective promotional tool. By all means, I encourage you to compare us to any and all of our competition.

None of the above is true. Normally, only a very small minority of primarily well-off Latin American women will have or be able to get a visitor´s visa. The U.S. and Canadian embassies look for indicators that show the visitor intends on returning to her home country. This could include property, a professional job, or children; that is, significant responsibilities and commitments that would indicate a likely return trip. The primary countries that Colombians can visit without a visa in the Western Hemisphere are Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Bermuda, Dominican Republic, Saint Helena, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and Trinidad and Tobago. You can not buy a visa as some agencies suggest. If you want her, you will have to visit he. International Introductions can help through our Personal Introductions.

From the beginnings of our Nation, American men have brought foreign brides or fiancées into our country. Since we have a long history of doing so, the process is very straightforward and inexpensive. You can have a lawyer or paralegal handle the visa process, or you can do it yourself. The Immigration and Naturalizations Service website provides instructions and forms. If you do it yourself, I recommend you research the whole process before beginning, because any incorrect preparations will cause delays. Your fiancée will not need a lawyer as the process for her is very simple.

Other Latin dating agencies will encourage you to purchase overpriced gifts on their website. This is not necessary. We recommend that you do not buy gifts unless you feel there are promising possibilities with someone special you have dated. When you do give, it should be a sentimental gift. Latin American women are not materialistic; your focused attention is the best gift you can give her. When it becomes appropriate for gifts we can help you and suggest what is practical and beneficial for your situation. For the right Latin woman, it´s not the expensive gift, it´s you she wants.

That depends on you. It can be more affordable than dating someone for the same equivalent period in the U.S., yet you will get a better return. For most people the cost will include airfare, agency services (introductions, lodging, translator), dating expenses (food, transportation, activities), international phone calls (cheap with VOIP), gifts (Christmas, birthday, valentines), English classes (with us includes phone and letter translation), immigration processing (review our Visa FAQ), return trips to Colombia, and an airplane trip for her to join you in the United States. The savings alone from buying the engagement ring in Latin America makes the whole process a bargain.

As if they had anywhere else to go. By "foreign press" they must mean the good old U.S.A., in which case I recommend that they not read the Colombian newspapers where the stories of killings and kidnappings are more frequent. Colombia is no walk in the park and it is deceptive for the Colombian mail order bride sites to tell you otherwise. What you should know is that most of the murders are related to drugs and politics and occur primarily well outside of the cities. And while bystanders occasionally get killed, there´s no direct threat to Americans. Colombia does have a criminal element, but we can assure you that your preservation goes hand in hand with ours. We stay in safe zones, and with our experienced local guidance, so will you. You will lodge with the elite and receive the equivalent premium protection. I will be there to look after your comfort and security. We know all the precautions to make your trip safe, enjoyable, memorable, and rewarding. Please contact us for more details on the safeguards we provide during your private marriage tour.

What the domestic Internet Dating sites do not tell you is that seven out of every ten of their members are male. The better-looking women receive up to 30 emails a day. I know because I have dated these women. To attract the premium American woman (and they all think they´re "premium") requires you to be at the top of your game. You´d better be incredibly interesting, wealthy, or both. If you are not Mr. Entertainment during the early dating stage of the relationship, you will be replaced by one of the dozen of incoming email proposals she will walk home to after the date.

When you´re not fighting inflated competition on the domestic Internet dating sites, you´re trying to figure the criteria of the American woman themselves. Where else but in the U.S. can a man be turned down for not believing in reincarnation? Being normal and good doesn´t fulfill the American woman´s excitement requirement. If you´re not "Mr. Big" then your often not worth the time to know regardless of your actual qualities. It does not have to be this way. We can introduce you to attractive Latin women in their prime who don´t equate flare with importance. What is most important to the Latin woman is that a man is a respectful, loyal and honorable husband who can maintain a harmonious family life. Being normal puts you at the head of the pack.

You can continue to compete for women who get dozens of emails a week or you can get on a plane and let us introduce you to young, attractive Latin women who will compete for you. We can help you find the type of Latin woman for the type of relationship you want without compromising your standards. Why spend a lifetime looking for a bride when you can have a Latin bride that will last a lifetime

It should be obvious by now that most international introduction services do not have your best interest in mind. What the Latin mail order brides sites do not provide is integrity and customer commitment. Our service is more than a presentation. International Introductions provides a sincere, straightforward appraisal of our benefits and a guided approach on how to find a Latin wife. We not only provide clarity about discovering a Latin wife but also the insight and best means of meeting and knowing a caliber of woman that you won´t find at home.
