The message is not getting through......

Here is a paragraph from an email I received this morning from a Colombian lady friend of mine. Same old story: gringo meets colombiana on email and webcam; gringo arrives; colombiana thinks gringo is old, fat, and ugly and wants nothing to do with him. gringo already sold everything in Massachusets and was coming to marry the gal. This scenario is better than getting married and then divorced but what a waste of time and money.

"A man from America came. he`s from Massachussets. He came with a cat to married a lady 36 years old. When he came at the airport the lady said I don`t like him. He´s to old for me.Amaida`s driver took him to her apartment and the lady didin`t want to stay wih him. Thew driver took her to her home. I´m here in my house in Melgar with the children. i don`t know what to do. I come back sunday and I can´s help him. He sold everything in the United States. His house. The cat is pretty but he shoudn´t bring that cat. I told this lady you saw him at the web cam and she said she didin´t know he was too old, fat and ugly. Is terrible for him. Also he said the Amaida´s apartment was to big for him. he only paid for a week. He said he only gets 1500 dollars a month and thatá not enought for him. I told him try to fall in love with this lady. She has a house and he can live her."

I dunno...

I have sympathy for the people that took their time, planned together and things didn't work out, but for this knucklehead that never even met the woman in person? Nyet!

Kat - The $1500 a month sounds like a social security payment, so I'd guess the guy is 62 years old, minimum.

i've never met him but i believe he said he was in his late fifties. what i'm finding is that a lot of guys are much older than what they say they are.

i had a strange case last week; a colombian lady friend of mine asked me to check out an american, and i did, on www.intelius.com , and he said he was 62, but in reality he is 57. he had two identities. when he was confronted with all the info i was able to dig up, like 7 children, 3 marriages, that he was concealing; he decided not to come to colombia.

people wonder why i'm marrying an older colombian woman; well, ...this is why!!!!!!!

Yeah, maybe we need to update the Percy Sledge classic and give it a Colombian twist. "Selling your home" sure beats "sleeping out in the rain."

===================

When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothing else
He'll trade the world
For the good thing he's found
If she's bad he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he put her down

When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Tryin' to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comfort
Sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way it ought to be

Well, this man loves a woman
I gave you everything I had
Tryin' to hold on to your precious love
Baby, please don't treat me bad

When a man loves a woman
Down deep in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she plays him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Lovin' eyes can't ever see

When a man loves a woman
He can do no wrong
He can never own some other girl
Yes when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're my world

When a man loves a woman.....

Kat, great idea. Lauthra can open a cat hotel for all the stranded cats the gringos bring to Colombia. It's win/win situation.
(As in every lose/lose situtation, there's always the win/win situation counterbalancing it. The important thing is to find the winning angle. To ride the cow.)

http://www.dr1.com/forums/sankie-101/22744-articles-threads-about-sank...

From above and just as applicable in dealing with Internet/Marriage Agency Women:



Quote:
Hillbilly's Three Golden Rules for getting serious with a Resort worker or any other Dominican for that matter:

1) He has a bank account equal to your own-in pesos, not dollars or pounds (You have 100 pounds, he has 100 pesos, that's all.). He has a Credit Card and can write a cheque.
2) He has a Visa to travel to the US or Canada
3) He is educated to the equivalent of your own level: High School, Tech School whatever.....
If there is a "no" to any one of these, then essentially you are wasting your time

Did someone say: " Welcome ABROAD?"

'what does it mean, when one of you (colombians) tell another: YOU WERE NOT/ARE NOT. 'COLOMBIAN ENOUGH'?? jejeje..a mixture, I think, of stupidity mixed with a false sense of arrogance.. How 'colombian' do you have to be? to be 'colombian enough

It's good (and, it's easy) to have many novias,

en mismo tiempo.
Por Que?

Well, if you happen to send the wrong letter to the wrong girl...
she still thinks it's for her...
although, she's in a bit of state of confusion....

alright, this email just came in; it seems the lady is beginning to like the guy in the op.

do you experts put any faith into this relation?

" The manof Massachusets is in the big one. But he´s leaving next thrusday. The american is doing well with the lady. Now she starts to love him. Tomorrow the two are coming to take breakfast at home.I´ll see what´s happening. Dan says he want´s to married this lady as soon as posible. Hope she says yes. "

i guess he sort of grew on her; women do seem to accept trade offs.

i still......DUNNO!

i give this relation two thumbs down.

I know several American guy-Colombian gal marriages that seem to be working well. Gotta be very careful with a relationship with the girl next door as well. Of course people should pay attention to red flags, or else. What's the big deal? People either exercise due diligence or they don't.

admittedly, arriving can feel great too

I agree with the gentler voices: Desi, Robert et al. Who knows what issues in the poor guy's life lead him to such self-destructive behaviour.

Morphus is right. People always ask me why I am with Monica Bellucci. After all she's 43 years old and she's definitely not a virgin. I tell them that she's hotter than chicks twenty 20 years younger and it takes a real man to satisfy her.

About 5 years ago, my nephew hooked me up with this broad, twenty years younger than me in a blind date type chit.
That b—ch nearly had a heart attack when she saw me; she was shocked that I was so fokin old and I was shocked that she was so fokin ugly.
I told my nephew “here, give that ugly b—ch 500 pesos for a bus ride back to Robolo, hey, I know I’m old but she’s too damn ugly for me, no way I’m gonna be seeing in public with her her!!‿.
The moral of the story. My gringo brothers always remember, you have a lot more to offer than they do.
That poor old fat and ugly gringo schmuck should stay in Colombia and work on his self esteem, sooner or later he will score. 1500 dollars a month is a lotta fokin money in colombia.
Listen, I have no girlfriends in Colombia, but when I do decide to get one she’s gotta be real hot, cus I’m the one with dollars in my pocket not her, in other words I got more to put on the table than she does, let her beg for it.
Thank you

To that fat, old, ugly bald gringo.
I saw this guy in el barrio santuario, south Barranquilla, not only fat, old, bald, but short too and to make it even worst, from Spain, with a hot young broad. She used to sell bread door to door until she knocked on his door.
she don’t be selling bread no more, now she’s married to that old Spanish smelly modefoque, 35 years older than her and I’m sure he’s not getting no 1500 dollars a month from uncle Sam.
How much do retirees get in Spain, may 250 bucks a month??

Money = Chicas, in Colombia(and many other countrys as well). You all can beat a dead horse all you want and say it a thousand diffrent ways but thats what it boils down too. Money is good!!!!! These young Chicas in Colombia should find and marry the oldest, fattest guy with money they can find. The older and fatter the closer they are to death and then if the Chica is smart the big pay day. Stupid is good also so the chica can run around on the old dude till he dies.

That would be interesting to find out. There aren't any English speaking people where I live but there are a couple of Spainards. I'm not sure how much they have but one for sure sold his business, left his wife and moved to Colombia.

I thought the Spainards were no dummies when I first came to Colombian. Ha, no woman was doing anything these guys didn't consider. Not one mention that they were stupid or gullible etc.

Now, things are different. I can only assume the availability of the internet has made this possible. There are several cases where money, gifts, etc. was sent. This is NOT small change. Enough to buy a little house or open a business.

This bright side of this is they furnished a ""leg up"", not sure, haven't seen web cam action.

One women lost some weight and looks pretty good.
