Need A Little Assistance Here To Make Something Work

Merry Meet, all:

It seems that I am in a similar boat as our original poster here, only I am going to Bogota, and have already "met" (electronically) the woman that I am hoping to be with.

The problem is that I know almost nothing about the mindset of Colombian women (except for what I have heard and seen from a bus window going from Santiago de Cali to Bogata once a few Months ago) and I am notoriously bad at relationships anyway. I mean, like SUPER LOOSER OF THE SUPER LOOSERS bad. I mean like The Guy Who Was Rejected By "Last Chance Dating Service" Bad. Like writing to "Jail Babes" (from newspaper advertisements) Bad -- and still getting rejected BIG TIME.

So here I have found "My" Colombian "Princess" (well, hopefully, but likely?), and have spent almost all of My Money for a ticket to Good Old Cocaine Country's Beautiful Capital City (forgive Me if I have offended anyone, PLEASE. NOT My Intention) of Santa Fe de Bogota, and will be stuck there for a whole Month (unless sooner deported by the D.A.S.) with a woman whom I have only exchanged two E-Letters and two telephone calls with (at $10.00USD a Minute!).

Now, Good People of the World, I am hoping that someone somewhere can give Me some kind of a guide post as to what to expect from your "typical" Colombian woman and how to properly court her -- without getting rejected, hurt, arrested, kidnapped, and/or deported. I am asking this because the last time I was rejected by a woman (in Uruguay), I tried to kill Myself like six times in one Week, and it was everything that the Uruguayan Police and U.S. Embassy could do to prevent Me from succeeding, and I do not think that the Colombian Police will be so willing or interested in to keeping a depressed SuperLooser alive. I REALLY DO NOT WANT TO &%# at UP AGAIN!

So, if you could please give Me some information, please PLEASE do.

Blessed Be.

Lestat.

Oh man. I would love to have this kind of poo poo taken off this board. Going through these kinds of mails justs wastes time and space.

I thought this board was supposed to used to talk about the beauty of Colombia and to give answers to real questions.

Yup

my real concern i don't mean any disrespect to the person who posted this email request for info but if i were able, i'd alert the unassuming colombian woman to your past failed relationships so you don't get her into something that she's unaware of. from the sounds of it, i'd recommend you take a good look at what you're doing before you involve someone else.

real concern I agree with you, if in fact this poster is honest, perhaps he should look inward and not export his problems to another country and another family. We do represent each other as North Americans when we travel to another country.

Your posting is fake, including 10 dollars per munite crap. In either case you are not funny, and I feel sorry for her that she is going to have to put up with you for some time before she gets her papers.

I think you're a troll Previous post edited because it was too harsh.

What I really guess I mean to say is this: If, as you describe yourself, you're such a "loser" (one "o" unless you are really loose), then why not devote some energy to changing the things about yourself that make you such a disaster in relationships. It's counterproductive to travel all over the world desperately searching for someone who will accept (tolerate) you if you're really that messed up. People are people and women are women. Don't kid yourself that someone is going to put up with a bunch of shit just because you're affluent relative to her or because you have a shiny blue passport. Maybe for a little while she will, but then you'll end up right back where you started -- lonely, jilted and depressed.

Whether the post is real or fake.... The truth of the matter is that there ARE quite a few true life situations of guys like this out there. I've traveled quite a bit and I've seen guys like this in my travels to Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia, Cuba..etc.

If a guy has extremely bad luck with girls the big problem isn't going to be solved by hopping around from country to country. Like Mr. Hollywood said it's simply counterproductive. Guys mistakenly assume just because a girl is from another country, poor, etc. she will accept less in life. That may be true in many cases but the basic fundamentals of courting a girl doesn't change wherever you go. Also, what happens when you bring her back to the USA and she meets guys that aren't such a "loser"??

I've been getting some emails from girls that came to the USA, divorced the guys they married and most of them are telling me (a) there was more than a 15 year age difference and (b) all the guys didn't want them to have a job or go out. They wanted them to stay home and do nothing. This is totally unrealistic. Once the girls go out, learn English, experience real life in the USA... do you really think she will just stay with a "loser"? Probably not.

I'm sure this post is probably a fake but like I said, there are a LOT of guys out there like this so maybe it's a good learning lesson for others reading this.

If you really think you're a "loser" or lacking something that causes you to have extremely bad luck with women. See what the cause of it is and try to change it. For example, if you're overweight..try to exercise more and work out. Doing nothing will change nothing.

On a related note I do keep hearing about guys paying a ton for calling Colombia. Make sure you use a calling card like the ones listed below. Good luck.

I'VE HAD A LITTLE EXPERIENCE WITH 2 WOMEN COMING FROM COLOMBIA, 1 WAS TRULEY DIFFICULT LEARNING EXPERIENCE AND THE SECOND RENEWED MY FAITH IN WOMANKIND.IT'S EASY TO QUICKLY FALL IN LOVE WITH A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN WHO TELLS YOU THAT YOUR THE ANSWER TO ALL HER DREAMS.BUT IT'S TRUELY DIFFICULT TO KNOW IF HER DREAM IS YOU OR A U.S. VISA.THIS BEING SAID, I ADMIRE A MAN WHO HAS THE GUTS TO GO OUT OF THE NORM HERE IN THE STATES TO FIND SOMEONE WITH A DIFFERENT ATTITUDE TOWARD MEN.THATS BETTER THAN SITTING CRYING ABOUT THIER SITUATION A DOING NOTHING TO CHANGE IT.IN GENERAL I HAVE FOUND COLOMBIANAS ACCEPPTING AND WONDERFUL
