Colombian Brides: Who are they?
An average mail order bride on these sites is a Colombian woman in her 20s (rarely—in her 30s), with higher education (or a student), living in one of the 3 biggest cities of the country—Bogota, Medellin, or Cali.
They are called "brides" because they have very serious intentions: almost every Colombian lady on mail order bride sites is looking for a serious relationship. Most Colombian women on mail order bride platforms speak English and are willing to leave their country.
Reasons why Colombian women seek foreign partners
Leaving their country isn't the only reason why local women sign up on online dating sites, nor it is the most important one.
Let's be more detailed.
Most local girls believe that American/Canadian/British men may treat them better than Colombian men.
The machismo culture in this country is thriving and men affected by it are typically not the most caring men when it comes to relationships. So the hopes of Colombian brides are not unfounded.For a lot of women, however, it's about the desire to leave Latin America.
The point is, Colombia isn't the best place for a living. Around 37% of Colombians live on less than $91 a month, the country experiences the highest rate of inflation in 21 years due to the Russia-Ukraine war, and another spike in the poverty rate is expected.
It's also not the best country for women—Colombian ladies still face such problems as physical and physical violence. All this makes young, educated, and ambitious Colombian girls think about going to another country.
Each woman may have her own reason, but these two are the most common ones.
The process of finding Colombian mail order brides
So, how to meet a Colombian woman? We don't talk about the obvious "go to Bogota and approach women there" option. It's expensive, stressful, and time-consuming, so it makes no sense to approach Colombian women offline when you can do it online without leaving your home.
Here's how the process looks:
First, read the reviews to choose a dating website with real Colombian women. Pay special attention to the reputation of the site and to the expert reviews in particular—a user may give the dating app 1 star out of 5 because his girl dumped him while an expert is focused on logic and analysis rather than emotions.
Test the site yourself. A good Colombian mail order bride website must be convenient and easy to use—like ColombiaLady, for example. Pay attention to the number of features and tools: the best Colombian bride apps like ColombiaLady and LatiDate, for instance, offer such features as real gift delivery. You're about to find out why it's important.
Then, you create a profile. Upload your best photos and write a catchy description that would attract Colombian wives and make your profile stand out from the crowd.
Try the services of the site. After that, you can either use the free features available on each dating site or get the welcome bonus in case a website has one.
On La-Date, you'll get 20 credits for free which is equal to 10 minutes of live chat.When it's done, you can start chatting with real Colombian brides. Don't initiate too intimate conversations at the very beginning, and you will succeed; you can even try ice-breakers that are often offered by the website.
After that, it's up to you. We recommend not to delay your first date and ask a Colombian girl out in 2-6 weeks after you first meet her online, but again, it's your call.
Colombian mail order brides: Statistical insights into love and marriage
Colombian wives do not think that divorce is an option. In Colombia, the divorce rate is only 0.7 divorces (for 1,000 population) which is 3.5 times lower than that of the United States!
Colombian girls get married early—the mean age at first marriage is 20.2 years old for them. By the way, the average age difference between a wife and a husband is also quite high (almost 4 years) so if you are going to find a wife in Colombia and want her to be younger than you, it's not a problem at all.
They become mothers early, too—the mean age at first birth is 21.7 years old in Colombia.
Colombian wives are the most popular Latin women in the US when it comes to international marriages—1,006 K-1 visas were issued in 2022 for Colombian citizens. It's much higher than for any other Latin American country.
How much is a Colombian bride?
So, how much is a Colombian bride? First of all, you can't "buy" a Colombian mail order bride. The whole process consists of the online dating part, your trip to Colombia, the K-1 visa, and so on.
Here's a price breakdown:
Online dating—$100-$150 per month
A 1-week trip to Colombia—$1,050-$1,850
Gifts—$100-$1,000
Wedding—$3,000-$50,000
Now, let's be more detailed.
First, you'll have to find a Colombian woman online—there are lots of good and affordable dating sites in South America and the best ones are available on this page. They will cost you around $100-$150 per month if you don't overdo it with video chats and real gifts delivery.
By the way, if you want to get more options, you can also use a Colombian brides agency. The services of a Colombian wife agency (in case you're going to have a "romance tour") will cost you much more than a dating site, though.
Then, a trip to Colombia. This is going to be the largest part of the Colombian brides cost (in case you're not planning to have a fancy $100,000 wedding party).
Here's the details:
$200-$500 depending on how far in advance you're going to book a flight.
$500-$1,000 for a very decent hotel room in Bogota (7 days)
$150 for transportation and food
$200 for entertainment (2 people, 1 week)
$1,050-$1,850 for all.
If you're going to contact a Colombian dating agency, it's going to cost you more. Typically, a romance tour to a Latin country would cost around $2,000-$4,000, but there are no guarantees that you will find a bride.
Overcoming stereotypes and misconceptions
Before you find a Colombian wife, read this—here, we'll address the most common stereotypes associated with women from Latin America (and from Colombia in particular).
Not all the stereotypes are 100% wrong, by the way.
"They are always bossy".
Let's be honest: Colombian girls are strong, confident, and pretty hot-tempered. Sometimes, all this leads to bossy behavior, but it's not something you can't live with. Just be confident and don't show weakness to your Colombian girl, at least at the beginning of your relationship—and you'll be ok."Every Colombian woman wants to get a green card and dump you after that".
The percentage of "green-card diggers" among Colombian brides is not higher than among any other nationality. Most women on dating sites are genuinely interested in a serious relationship, so we believe that your chances to marry a Colombian woman are higher than your chances to meet a girl interested in US residency."Every Colombian girl is a gold-digger".
The same situation here. The chances of finding a real Colombian wife online are higher than meeting a Colombian beauty who would only be interested in your money.
Not that many stereotypes, but they are quite common. Try to avoid thinking about them—focus on the personality of your potential partner instead.
🚫 Colombian mail order wives scam — How not to lose money?
If you're chatting with a Colombian bride online, you might be chatting with a scammer. Unfortunately, scammers love the industry of mail order brides (the country doesn't matter) because there are many middle-class American men there, and when scammers see many middle-class American men, they flock there like bees on honey.
In most cases, they use fake profiles to make you think you're chatting with a real Colombian bride. They may ask you for money or for your credit card number (sounds fishy already), or they may blackmail you, the number of options is pretty wide.
Or, it might be a fake dating site where most Colombian girls are not real and their profiles are administered by the site's team—in this case, they won't ask you for money but make you pay for premium subscription over and over.
How not to get scammed? These 3 rules will help.
Be careful while looking for a mail order brides platform. Check if all those Colombian women for marriage are real, pay attention to the response rate, make sure there's an ID verification tool on a site, and read the reviews.
Do not share your financial information with all those attractive women on dating websites. They don't need your credit card number, and if they do, they are 100% scammers.
Never send money to any American/European/Asian/Latin woman online. If someone asks you for money, it's a scammer.
A decent dating website plus your attention to detail will guarantee you a high level of safety.
Husbands’ stories with Colombian mail order brides
❤️ James and Salome
“I wasn't looking for a Colombian mail order wife and I didn't want anything serious tbf. All I wanted was to find a girl to have some fun with on my Bogota vacation...
Well, we chatted for a few days and right after that, I asked Salome out. We ate out at Storia D'amore and it turned out we have so much in common, from hobbies (hiking) to a favorite music genre!
We spent 2 weeks together and 1 month after that, I bought a ticket to Bogota and proposed to her. Zero regrets. The best decision of my life.”
❤️ Henry and Alejandra
“We met on LaDate in 2019 and we exchanged emails for 6 months or so, my vacation got denied 2 times so that's why it took so long.
Actually, I wanted to meet her the next day after we exchanged our first emails! We chatted, sent each other pictures and all those stickers (it may sound childish but it was fun, actually).
When we met, it felt like we've known each other for years, so I didn't waste time and proposed to Jandra the same day. We're waiting for the K-1 approval right now.”
Final thoughts
Getting a Colombian wife is not that easy because of cultural barriers and because a long-distance relationship is never easy to maintain. However, it's 100% worth it because these women are amazing when it comes to serious relationships.
They are loyal, they support their partners, they take care of their family members, they are feminine and romantic, and of course, they are fantastically hot (we never mentioned this before but it's impossible to ignore it).
With the top Colombian dating sites, you can find a Colombian wife without leaving your home—all you need is to choose the right platform and start using it. These sites are free to sign up and most of them provide certain welcome bonuses, so you don't need to pay right away.
You can even use a fake email address and name to solely test these sites—you risk nothing, but if you try, the potential is life-changing.
