INTERNATIONAL DATING
Virgin Territory – Cupido has been operating in Manizales over the past 10 years, and has over 250 women for you to meet. Our list of women is updated on a continuous basis and new ladies are brought into the agency every month. Manizales is relatively unknown to the outside world, few foreigners have a need to visit. Consequently, Manizales is virtual virgin territory for men seeking wives, dating services and the like. To make a comparison, during the past year approximately 50 to 60 men came here to meet girls. That is approximately the same number of men who typically go to St Petersburg Russia or Kiev or Odessa, Ukraine PER WEEK! The Russian and Ukrainian women are very sophisticated in the international dating process and you can be sure that the really attractive women are corresponding with many men. This is simply not the case in Manizales . Our girls are small town girls, not gold-diggers. They are also dedicated to family and mate, and are simple but proud.
Supply and Demand – There are so many women here and so very few Colombian men that can offer them the opportunity for a better life. Colombian men are Latins – that is to say they are known to be unfaithful and to have, given the opportunity, many girlfriends. The women here know this. Age is not a consideration and in fact works to your advantage. In the USA, a man of 50+ is invisible to a young beautiful woman. But here in Manizales Anglo men are appreciated, respected and in high demand. A common comment you will get from your girl is that foreigners and Americans in particular make better boyfriends and husbands.
AGE DIFFERENCES – It is common to see a man dating a girl in Manizales 25 or 30 years his junior.
Ease of Travel – You do not need a visa like you do for Russia, the Ukraine and Eastern Europe. All you need is your US Passport. The flight from Miami to Bogotá is about 3 hours and then another short 40-minute flight to Manizales . This is also important if you and your Colombian bride decide to live in the USA, since she will want to return periodically to Colombia to see her family and friends. And if you like to travel, Manizales is a short hop to Bogotá, which in turn is a gateway to South America and the world.
High Success Rate – Frequently men say that agencies in other countries and even Colombia have a very low success rate. First of all, the agencies were not able to set up dates with the girls they wanted to meet. Why? Often they do not have a good contact number and the girls are no longer available. Manizales is a relatively small city and we know many of the women personally. Secondly, we pride ourselves on one-on-one attention so we are closely monitoring your progress and we are there to help the relationship along. We are as involved as you want us to be. Third, the quality of the women is such that your chances of finding a women that meets your high standards is just more likely in Manizales. Our catalogue is continuously updated and new girls are added on a regular basis.
Low Cost – To make a comparison of costs with tours in such places as Russia or the Ukraine, or even Latin America, almost everything about your trip to Manizales will be less. Flights from Miami are as low as $400-500 round trip. Hotels range from $60 to $160 a night and Cupido has fully furnished apartments competitively priced. Taxis are $1.50 to $3.00 to go anywhere in the city. Our apartments are located in the best area of town. You can walk to most of the restaurants, cafes, movies and shops. Food is very good and cheap. A good steak dinner is about $8 while many restaurants serve great meals for under $5. All of these expenses are higher in other cities in Colombia like Barranquilla, Cartegena, Medellin or Cali. With what you save in expenses by coming here, you will probably be able to make another trip to Manizales free!
Cultural Compatibility – The Colombian women are a very good match with foreign men, especially Americans and Canadians. These gentle women are uncomplicated, faithful, loving, affectionate, and have a good sense of humor. They pride themselves in their appearance and personal hygiene and are very appreciative for the opportunity to meet a foreign man. American men particularly are seen as attentive, considerate, generous, and have a high standard of living. Because Hispanics are now the second largest ethnic population in the US, the women are more likely to feel at home in the event that you marry one of them. Spanish is a relatively easy language to learn if one genuinely wants to learn it. On the other hand, Russian and Ukrainian women will be entering a very foreign country and their languages are almost impossible to learn. While daily life is difficult in Colombia due to economics, the vast majority of Colombians are happy, friendly and welcoming. Colombian women are dedicated to family and friends, making them ideal wives. On the other hand life in Russia and Ukraine is cruelly brutal. These women have grown up in a highly repressive state.
A Great Place to Visit and Even Live – Our experience is that most men who have visited Manizales would either like to live here or have a second home here. It really is that special place. Ask yourself how many men would like to give up the USA and move to Russia, the Ukraine or Eastern Europe? And if you are considering Costa Rica or Panama, think twice. Those countries have been discovered and are destinations. Consequently prices are higher and the quality of life as it should exist in Latin America is diminished. Manizales is an incredible place to retire. Under the current presidential administration Colombia has become much safer and cities like Manizales are very safe indeed. Housing is much more reasonable than in comparable cities across Central and South America. Medical care, including dental services is superior. Many doctors are US-trained. And if you decide to remain in Colombia, medical insurance is very inexpensive. In order to fully appreciate what this gem in the Andes has to offer, you owe it to yourself to visit here.
