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 will have you believe 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.

This is not true. 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 you have will the younger you can go. What is true is you can generally knock about ten years off the minimum age you could attract at home.

If you are 40 and able to date local women as young as 32 years old 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. An American version of Karina would not notice my existence while a Latina Karina 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 your level of Karina but trying to select from the multitudes of "Karinas" that will express an interest.

If you are an average American you´re already considered "filthy rich." 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 Colombian women have a good work ethic and learn responsibilities early in life, you should anticipate one to two years of full financial support as your Colombian bride 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 others will want to work.

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 underemployed. The poverty level is over 50%. Crime is high, and the Latin man is typically unfaithful. It is these conditions that present opportunities unavailable to you in the U.S. While foreign Spanish 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. Discovering each woman´s content and character is a communication process best done through regular letter writing and telephone conversations. We therefore leave the screening up to you, unless you particulary request that we get involved: Our Custom Request services are outlined. Fortunately, it is rare to meet Latin women who are insincere.

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 inadequate for anything more than tidbits of information. You´ll get a fuzzy picture but the intended words are likely to be misinterpreted. You can check this out yourself. There are many free translation software packages on the Web. With translation software you will not be able to exchange accurate adult communications, which is why we provide a personal translator fluent in both Spanish and English. We can help, it´s what we do.

This is flagrantly wrong. It should be obvious by now that most international introduction services do not have your best interest in mind. Women love personal correspondences. When distance is involved writing is critical to establishing and maintaining a bond. Words reveal shared values and goals, compatibility and mutual interest - the ingredients for a long-term commitment. A well-written introduction is your best first step to opening her heart and until you are together, ongoing correspondences are your best way to keep it.

Your first letter should be a short, friendly, confident one-page or less introduction written in Spanish. Tell them a little about what you do, where you live, how old you are and some general information of your interest and goals. Avoid too much detail in the beginning, just present a few highlights and keep it humble. She does not need to know about your possessions or income. Be funny, Latin women have a good appreciation for American humor but limit your humor to one or two points or they may not think you are serious. Avoid jokes that play on words. Humor is good, but jokes usually don´t work.

Be positive and polite; do not overwhelm them with complications, problems or topics they might not be familiar with. Make sure you indicate why you are writing. They 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 "you´re beautiful" to a beautiful girl doesn´t mean much when everyone else is saying the same thing. Latin American women have pride; do not 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 back 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.

It is very important that you email one good, current, clear picture. Two or three would be better. Look confident, smile and demonstrate your good nature. Look safe and reputable; she does not need to see you in front of your gun collection or behind your bulldogs. Dress properly– if your shirt is not on be at the beach or at the pool, not in your living room. Looking normal and stable is a good thing. Latin American women are not looking for extravagance. Remember these Spanish ladies are looking for standard husband material.

You can deal with the others´ concept of time, Siestaville, or our commitment to follow up with the recipient within three days of receiving your email. All emails are translated and electronically distributed to the recipient within 24 hours.

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 do 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 other services, 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 wasn´t 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. Every Latin woman will receive your email within 24 hours. While we have no control over the content and timing of her reply, every Latin woman will receive one or more follow-up calls. 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 this is true. Only a very small minority of primarily well-off Latin American Women will have a visitor visa. If you want her, you are going to have to visit her. International Introductions can help, Personal Introductions.

From the beginning of our Nation, American men have brought in 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 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. A good research site to start with is VisaJourney.

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. Latin American women are not materialistic; your focused attention is the best gift you can give them. When it becomes appropriate for gifts we can help you and suggest what is practical and beneficial for your situation. Believe me, it's none of the above gifts - 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 long distance phone calls, translation services, English classes, immigration processing, one or two roundtrip plane trips for you (one of which could be a honeymoon), and a one-way trip for her. Believe me, 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 deceiving 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. You do have a criminal element but we can assure you 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 on 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 introduce yourself to young Latin women who look forward to and take seriously the one or two emails they receive in a month. 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.

Our service is more than a presentation. What the Latin mail order brides sites do not provide is integrity and customer commitment. 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.
