I read two basic things on various dating forums
1. American women are more intersted in how much a man makes or what he can do for her
2. Latin women are more interested in guys that treat them decently and while they too want the best provider they can find, they are less demanding than US women.

I keep reading that if you are serious about finding a wife or a companion and yu are average in income, looks, etc, the only way to go is try a Latin country-especially Brazil.

Anyone acxtually been to a latin country.

I have the resources and time to do this and after 25 plus years of trying to find a decent woman whose rear is smaller than mine who is not out to cheat me or cheat on me and only wants a loving companion that I might marry, I am now willing to try a Latin country.

I have heard that the latin women are a lot more flirtatious than their US counterparts.

Yes, Latin women are flirtatious in general.
So I treat them as they are.
Some times I can not understand why many of Latin girls not serious in love relationship.
I am just like you, I have been searching Mrs. right for me seriously.
But it is not easy to find my woman within short trips.
So I gave up the idea of finding my future wife in latin countries.
And just enjoy whatever I can find

I don't have experience going to a latin country -but I've recently joined a site seems promising. It's called CherryBlossoms.com. They bill themselves as "The worlds first pictures personals"...but I believe they got their start as a mail order bride site. I've seen a lot of those European mail order bride sites and was a little hesitant -but something about this site caught my eye so I joined a couple months ago. Seems like there are a lot of girls from the Philippines and China - very eager to get married! It takes some time to weed through the girls just looking for a handout or a sugar daddy, so be careful. But after only a couple months - I have been able to talk to a couple girls who seem truly genuine. I'll be writing a review about it on my blog LoveGorilla.com in a few days so check it out! Good luck guys, I'm in the same boat you are! LoveGorilla.com
