Hi All,
Okay, going to Bogata for three months (if I can find an apartment or house). I really want to meet some Colombian women. My question is this:
Do I need to join one of those agencies, or is it pretty easy to meet the women on your own? Maybe a dumb question, but would like to hear some opinions.
Thanks

caslug says on Oct 17, 2004, 18:04: search the forum... Because this is a subject that was brought up couple of months ago, it was quite a popular thread w/ over 100 response with one opinion or another. Personally, I think the regular internet dating sites like amigos, match, etc., or just going to bars, clubs, or just hanging out, are more effective than wedding agency. But it's your money.

elmodefoque says on Oct 18, 2004, 06:02: Dude, you don’t need a stinking agency. Once Colombian broads discover you’re gringo, panties fall right off. I ‘m not kidding! Instead of giving your money away, spend it on going to fancy clubs, the more upscale, the better the quality of Colombian broads, the better your chances. It don’t matter if you look like Danny DeVito, because as soon as they know you got dollars, to them you’ll be as good looking or better looking than Ben Affleck, or George Clooney.

Michael_B says on Oct 18, 2004, 06:14: Can I help ? If you wish to take a side trip to Cali or maybe she can come to Bogata, I have a beautiful niece in Cali, she is 28 years old and is very educated and has her own Jewlery design business. I am not trying to pimp her off on you but she is so sweet and beautiful I hate to see her squander her life away in Cali. If you might be interested my e mail is sweepy1955 at yahoo.com, contact me and I will send you some photos and her e mail or phone number..

Angel_Gabriel says on Oct 19, 2004, 09:29: Tirar? Not Colombian here and wish to know what does "tirar" means in Colombia? I'm fluent in Spanish, and for me it's like "throwing" unless it means something else in Bogota.

utopiacowboy says on Oct 19, 2004, 10:09: Yes, "tirar" can mean something else. I leave it for Elmo to explain the "ins" and "outs". Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult. 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

litost says on Oct 19, 2004, 10:25: well... unsettling just because it sounds kinda funny "ok, I'm gonna go off to this foreign country and in three months I should meet the PERFECT woman"... usually things aren't that simple but you really seem to think it will be... but like I said, you never know so lots of luck.

If a woman has drink with me, she’s going to get nail!! a little hint, in Colombia, show USA passport but in the USA, make them laugh even if it means dropping your pants and showing them your little wee wee, it don’t matter just make them laugh, it never fails.

utopiacowboy says on Oct 20, 2004, 21:10: Now why would you want your wife, of all people, to be a slut? I guess it depends what you mean by slut. My wife is a very prim and proper paisa but she does not need to take any lessons from American blondes! She is also a devout Catholic who doesn't think that rules out "celebrating" the sacrament of marriage!

elmodefoque says on Oct 21, 2004, 06:21: Then I must be a male “slut”. From the moment I bang my first donkey at 9 to about 6 years ago, after I got married, I was a promiscuous sonamanbiche. All my life I only known sluts and I really do like them. You guys are too young but you have no idea what it was like living the late 60’s to the 70’s in NYC, we were all big “sluts”. I was one long hair young Colombian dude and in those days Colombians where in, well, Colombians that looked like me, not the Uribe looking types, they were getting nothing from gringa girls, I was the man. I bang my friend’s girls and they bang mines. My brother married one of my girlfriend after I had nailed her every which way and got tired of her ass, but I continued banging her until they got divorced and moved outta town. It was no secret. Then, everything changes with the Reagan’s and their damn puritan ideology, but before him it really was sex, drugs and rock and roll. PROUD ENEMY OF THE RIGHT WING!!!!!!

litost says on Oct 21, 2004, 09:25: It's pretty obvious... There are "interesadas" and gold-diggers everywhere... but do you really think the cream of the crop in Colombia are these women who have a blue passport radar stuck on their head? The thing is, Colombia has such an incredible number and variety of beautiful women, even these left-overs look stunning to needy gringos (no offense meant to anyone here).

elmodefoque says on Oct 21, 2004, 10:09: litos, I’ve seen the cream of the crop walking around, man, they’re outta this world. I got a better chance of wining the lotto (lottery) than landing one of them, even with my damn blue passport. I bet you do well, are they good in the sack or do you have to work up a sweat to get a reaction? PROUD ENEMY OF THE RIGHT WING!!!!!! THANK YOU! 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

kat says on Oct 21, 2004, 10:38: so u see elmo no all colombian girls get impressed by the green paper,yes there are some gold diggers at there but i think they will go with colombians or gringos as long they have money,and because colombian rich men hardly will notice a poor colombian girl because of what my mummy will say or shame of the girl background.americans tend to marry this girls without the shame of the family status,for some of them doesnt matter where they live or their economic situation,I seen cases of very poor girl marrying no wealthy but ok british guys.

gringosalsero says on Oct 21, 2004, 10:45: I Dont Blame them for being gold diggers. From what I understand there is not a lot of career potential for Colombian women. My Colombiana tells me all the time how difficult it was for her to reach the level of a Senior Auditor for a big 4 accounting firm in Colombia. She has her CPA etc but is only making $1000 per month. I know that is a lot compared to the general population but most of the upper management career levels are reserved for the machismos. The Colombiana's have a choice it appears: Dig the gold or work abroad and make it yourself!

gringosalsero says on Oct 21, 2004, 11:04: Is it true the "blue blood" wealthy Colombian men rarely... marry poor working class Colombiana's? Of course you might find this sometimes in the US but there are many exceptions and very often. as depicted in the movies, the rich guy does fall for the poor girl. Maid in Manhattan is a bit too Hollywood but families with "Old Money" find it very difficult to maintain those "blue blood" lines here in the US.

kat says on Oct 21, 2004, 11:39: elmo is the guatemalan guy have money,is no problem. the girl will follow him to the end of the world. and for gringo salsero in the USA and Europe an older guy seem to be (mature) in colombia you still find rich old guys still living at home with mum and dad and never leaving neverland. they have to find the rich wife to substitute and please mum.and they go out looking for girls no older than 25 because they can't handle mature womens.while here in Europe men tend to leave home at the age of 18 that make them more independent and more mature sooner,and they will be able to decided later in life with whom they would like to live and spent the rest of the life with,with approval or no of the family. they may there own choices.

gringosalsero says on Oct 21, 2004, 11:51: American males still look for approval from their family but.... the approval is rarely based on "blood" lines. More often than not the approval is based on education, good family values, etc. Remember, in the US you can attend Harvard or Yale if you work hard enough and get good enough grades. There are many underpriveledged students at those schools who do not have Texas Oil daddies!

mzzmerized says on Oct 21, 2004, 20:14: elmodefoque don''t let this go to your head... but you are practically the only one on this board who REALLY knows Colombian mentality - male and female. And Desi as well. You are from there and Desi has lived there for years. Anyway, as I'm sitting here, three sheets to the wind, on my fifth vodka for the night, I was reading your posts about the sixties and seventies (I was in Colombia from the late seventies to 1990). You are so right about the mentality then!!! I can just picture you losing out in Colombia, but then those same qualities working for you in the US! But there was always this fringe element in Colombia, us gringitas, who took up the cause of you butifarra guys (to the horror of the upper class Uribe-types; they could never understand why some blonde would go for some wild guajiro or isleno rasta...hahaha)...carry on carrying on el-mo...you are el sabio of the board, reality-checking these wild-eyed gringos who think they have found the antidote to all their masculine deficiencies...

calipro says on Oct 21, 2004, 20:48: elmo I know three american men that married young colombian women from cali and they never brought them to the states. Probably a good idea for at least one of them as they have a thirty year age difference.
