 Frequently Asked Questions

What is Costa Rica Companions?
Costa Rica Companions is relatively new (since December 1998) organization that helps to find mates (Costa Rican women) for foreign men. Many of our clients are men that are tired of the types of women they are meeting in their home countries and are looking for a wholesome, caring woman. Many of our clients travel to Costa Rica and want to meet someone there.

What do I get when I join?
You are given a user name and password. With these, you get total access to our database of women and their email addresses. We provide translation services between Spanish and English at no extra cost. The communications is between you and them and we provide the translation and give them access to the Internet through our computers and data entry person. These are not the type of women you would normally meet online. There are no additional costs.

How Much Will it Cost Me?
Our current membership cost is $25 for two months, $30 for three months, $50 for six months and $95 for one year. That comes to between $6.92 and $12.50 per month depending on how long you sign up for. How much money do you currently spend in the pursuit of the woman of your dreams?

How did companionships.com start?
One of the founders owns a restaurant in Tilaran, near Lake Arenal. He saw so many of the women that worked for him were in abusive relationships. He also knew so many successful relationships that were with foreign men and Costa Rican women (many with much older men than the women) that he asked the girls why they didn't try to meet a nice foreign man. Most wanted to meet someone but did not know how to go about meeting them. He then approached the other founder (who was one of the happy couples he knew) who owned an Internet company in Costa Rica. Together they developed companionships.com in December of 1998. Once the word got out, women were coming in with photos, and to have photos taken, from all over Costa Rica. If you see these women's photos on any other site, they were probably taken from our site as we have had this problem in the past.

Why don't you use professional glamour photos? One of the founders once met a woman that he met through an online service and almost fainted because she looked so different in person. It created a very awkwark situation for him. We want to show you what they look like on an average day in their normal environment. We feel it is a more honest and direct approach.

How can I be successful in acheiving a response from the women? Use the following procedure:

Why don't you put the age range that these women are looking for? Originally we did, but almost all of them said "not important" as long as they are a good person. They DO Want to see a photo of the person though (see instructions above). Even just of your face is fine.

My browser is not configure to send mail when I click on an email address. What can I do?
