Questions and Answers

Question:    Lately I have noticed that more and more girls don't have postal addresses.  Why is that?

Answer:    I guess it's a sign of the times.  We have been advertising more on websites throughout South America. The benefit to this vs. magazines is that more girls have e-mail addresses and are computer savy. The down side is that less list their postal address.  Several of you have suggested that we make all the information such as address manditory, but we have found that the girls will answer what they want.  If you force them, they just put false info in order to apply. We have found that it is better to let them give us info that makes them comfortable. It will paint a clearer, truer picture for you.

Question:    Why do you have Advertisements for other agencies on your site?  Aren't you worried that they will take away business from you?

Answer:    We put the other Ads on our site in order to increase our traffic.  If you can't find us, you can't use us. As far as losing business, we know our site is one of the best out there. We believe that competition is good for business and we feel that after looking at the others, you will return to us.

Question: How do you know if the girl speaks English?

Answer: If we know that the girl speaks English, it will be listed in the short bio below her photo. However, many girls (especially the younger ones because they must take English in school), speak a little, but are not confident enough to tell us so therefore we don't list it. If you send a letter or if the girl has an e-mail address, you can go to www.altavista.com or www.freetranslation.com and they have a free translation program that you can use. Portuguese for Brazil and Spanish for Colombia. It is not perfect, and you must keep your letter VERY simple. But at least you can ask if she speaks any English, etc etc. The telephone is difficult even if she speaks basic English. I speak reasonably fluent Portuguese, and I still have a problem on the phone sometimes. You must speak VERY slowly (count to 3 between words.. try this first because it is really difficult)) unless she is really fluent.

Question: When I mail a letter, should I include my E-Mail address even if the girl hasn't listed one for herself?

Answer: Absolutely! Internet cafe's are still alive and well in Latin America. While most girls don't own computers, they can become very motivated to open a hotmail account or similar if they think someone is interested in them. They have friends that will help them also, so don't be surprised if you receive a response via e-mail.

Question: What are my chances, really?

Answer: I will try to make this as simple and factual as possible. I think the most important thing to understand here is that all of the girls on our site are individuals. They all have their own personal reasons for wanting to meet someone and for coming to us. They all know that we specialize in introductions to North American, European, and Australian men, so they all have an interest in meeting someone from abroad. They are NOT under any obligation to our agency to reply to anyone that they are not interested in. With that being said, if you are 250kg and 85 years old, you will have a much lower response rate than someone younger and in better shape. While this may appear logical, there are also some things that are very misunderstood about the Latin girls also. (This is a generalization, but I feel it is accurate in most cases)
First, and most importantly, they love their countries. Many guys believe that they hate where they are and will do anything to get out. This is not true. Their family values are very high, and they are about as patriotic as any other cultures that I know. This is not to say that they won't move to another country. We have many girls that I know of that have moved abroad with our clients. Most have gone to the states (because we have a higher percentage of guys from the USA), but I personally know of 6 in Portugal, 3 in Italy, 4 in France, 1 in Australia, and 1 in Denmark. (I wish that more people would let us know how the introductions go, but unfortunately it seems that folks forget about us after they meet. Usually we are informed by the girl when she requests being removed from the site.) Another reason is that economically things are difficult in Latin America now. For a young woman to find work is difficult if not impossible, and the wages will be low. Many girls live at home with their families, and obviously, many would like to get out for this reason.
Second, while I used the old, overweight guy as an example above, this is not really as obvious as it appears. Most young girls in Latin America do not want to date young guys. They prefer older, experienced guys. I am 45 years old and had a 20 year old girlfriend in Colombia for about 6 months. Not only was the age difference not a problem for us, her parents (who are younger than me) have loved me from day one. We are still friends, and her mother made me lunch the last time I was in Cali. Also, appearance is not as important to the girls there. They are a lot more interested in the kind of person that you are, which is really the way that it should be.
Well, after all of that, is this guaranteed to work for you? The answer is no. Due to the fact that we are all individuals, nothing is guaranteed. I can honestly say that I believe in this method of meeting someone. It has worked for me in the past and has worked for many of my friends and acquaintances. When you go to a pub and but a girl a few drinks, it doesn't always work out either. Perhaps she was beautiful but turned out to be a pain in the ass after you sat down with her. The same could happen here. Maybe all the girls in the pub blew you off. Maybe all were less than desirable in appearance.... I hope you understand what I am trying to say, and even though I would like your business, I would also like you to be satisfied. If there is anything else that I can answer for you, please let me know. If you use our service, please drop me a line and let me know how it went, good or bad. Without input, we can't fix or improve anything.

Question: What girls are the most current and how are the response rates?

Answer: The newest girls are on the lower numbered pages that load first (i.e.. Page 1 has the girls that were added today). Also, the higher the number of the girl , the newer she is. If you see a number out of place, it's usually because the girl contacted us and said she didn't have a great response rate. Perhaps she sent us some new pictures, and I moved her to the front again. Just a note though. Don't be afraid of the girls further in the site. We had several hundred girls in the beginning that didn't get any letters because we were still trying to get placement in the search engines, and our traffic was very low. I know that on some other sites, the girls get so slammed with mail that they quit answering after about a week, but that is not yet the case here. You may still have a good shot at a girl that's been on our site 6 months or longer. Based on the responses that I've gotten from our clients, our response rates are relatively good. I've heard numbers from 40-80%, but that is not guaranteed. If you are a 300lb, bald 90 year old geezer chasing only 19 year olds, your percentage might be lower! (actually, it might be higher...???).

Question: Do the girls only fancy American caucasians?

Answer: No

Question: Are they open for relationship with men from other nationalities and race?

Answer: Absolutely. However (and I am generalizing), you must realize a few things also. First: The girls are real girls and therefore not under any obligation to us to respond to someone that they are not attracted to. The girls (generally) in Brazil and Colombia look at a persons inside rather than outside. Culturally, color is not an issue, and people are judged as individuals. One event that I will never forget occurred to me last year in Brazil. One of our girls received a call from one of our customers while we were having lunch. After they were finished talking, she was interested in him and asked me if I knew him and what he looked like. I usually don't get to see our customers but I know a few and asked what his name was. She replied that his name was Tyrone, and I asked if he was black. All I received was a blank stare, followed by the question "how could I tell?" I explained that Tyrone was a popular black name and asked if she could tell by the way he talked. She still didn't understand. Well, here is the lesson that I learned that day. All races of people in Brazil talk the same. Sure there are geographical accents, such as our differences between someone in Alabama and Boston, but names and accents are not different among races. My respect for their culture was cranked up quite a few notches that day. I have traveled practically my entire life, pretty much all over the world, and I still missed it until that moment. I consider myself to be one of the least racist persons around, yet truthfully, I still notice if someone is black, oriental, Indian, etc. The Brazilians don't seem to notice! Due to my culture, it is difficult if not impossible for me to imagine, and is one of the things that makes these people so special. Now with that being said, it is not a perfect world. The girls are individuals and do have their own tastes and dislikes. While the appearance of a guy is not important to many women there, it IS important to some others. Just like I don't like blonde women, a girl in Brazil might not like a black guy. This is not racially motivated, but just a personal taste. Your question would have been easier to answer if you asked me if the Latinas only liked tall guys or guys with green eyes. Skin color or ethnic background is viewed no differently, and my reply would be if you are short and fat, but a really nice guy, I'm sure that there is someone on the site that will find you attractive. But you will never know until you try.
