The intenret is just a medium -common sense does the rest !
[QUOTE=Hesekiels]Global Citizen:
I completely agree with you! I also 'met' a couple of girls via internet before I came my first time to Ghana. After exchanging two e-mails or so three of them asked straight for 'just a little money' ('my dear, a small amount would be perfectly fine! Send me only 200 USD, ok?') with the well known arguments (house rent, doctor, tuition fees etc.). The last one took the cake. 'If you bring me a laptop and a digital camera for my brother I will marry you'. Wow, what an offer! I felt most touched! :) Really hard to resist, but I did with a heavy heart! :):)
The story for reflection is, makes it sense to contact girls via internet? I would rather doubt it! Too expensive if you are intelligent enough to pay a cutie before you have seen her in person and also not necessary at all. When entering into Ghana you can easily hit on the first girl you run into. Believe it or not, at the end of the day that's much, much cheaper!
Cheers - Hesekiels[/QUOTE]I think the internet is a good way or means to contact persons beforehand. Exchanging several messages allows you to feel what is the final drive of the person writing to you and sometimes it is the beginning of a pleasant affair (I expereinced it).
Once you are on spot you can trust your guts to do what is sensible, mind you !!! I haven't said below your guts, as very often if you just trust the emotion emerging from your pants you are likely to suffer from your liver I mean the place where you keep your wallet in your jacket !!!
Besides, letting someone to believe you are stupid enough to believe in such a deal, hoping to gain the lady's heart, is bad for your self esteem.
Thats the way that it also works in US or Northern Europe
[QUOTE=Global Citizen]Oh the girls do get jealous so the trick is to tell them right from the beginning that you are planning to butterfly but want to make her your number 1. Never let them feel that you're falling for her and make sure that let her know exactly what you want. You can even tell her that you want some 3-way action -

Or with my ex Colombian wife for that matter. Just returned form a visit to Thailand with my German GF. Works wonders.
