I have dated several women that I met through AFA, in fact I met my Novia there. The women you meet are usually pretty typical Ticas, I haven't met any that speak English very well. Many if not most, are looking for marriage, forget the term LTR. If you look hard enough you can find those looking for a good time or money.
I linked to AFA off the internet before I came down here and as a $19.95 montly subsciber I could contact as many women as I desired. As an older guy who really wanted a woman with a developed personality it worked for me. I keep my dues paid just in case, or you can go see Gustavo and look at his books and for $25 he will arrange a meeting in his office with a lady of your choice, it is not guaranteed that every lady will be available at any given time or that she will want to see you.

No I don't get a kickback, but a couple of friends and I live a good live here in CR thanks to AFA. My Tica.com is good too, though not very well organized.
Having said all of that I don't think these organizations provide what the typical monger is looking for; probably someone would end up getting hurt.
Brevity is not a talent of mine. TK
