That is all fine and good for people who are the haves... i've been living tough during this downturn in the economy, which is probably why I have little patience for the working girl that is worried about her psyche and worth. I'm gringo and do whatever I gotta do right now to make money. So, if they won't take less money over some perceived self worth, they are not survivors. Shit, the way it is right now, I would Phuck fat old gringas for $50 a pop. I don't eat in sodas because it is quaint and cute and cultural.. I eat there because I live with my means and don't have an ego telling me that I am too good to do this or that... I hear working and non working chicas all the time with their noses in the air, telling me they can't eat this and that.... The natural balance has been totally ruined by us. They can't live how they grew up anymore...

Tw, there are plenty of places that don't have the "cien mindset" that keeps them asking for the big bucks to save their ego. Try SL as there are a lot of girls there who are upwardly mobile from the MPs. They don't come with the "$100 or nothing" mindset.

Pac, holy shit, I can't believe anybody wastes time at the DR anymore after being in the SL a month ago... I was very impressed with the quality. I didn't asks prices as I wasn't planning on playing, but met a couple of very nice chicas... I did see a few that I will negotiate with in the future...I know I sound a little harsh sometimes, so i rant a bit after having chicas telling me basically that they are too good to eat and live in a way that I do.... Don't really let it show in public, so this is a good place to vent.

Entiende, amigo!

Good tip .

Another reason was alluded to earlier by another poster: many working girls think, "If there are less clients coming to the strip joint/CR/etc., well then I need to charge the remaining clients MORE to make up for my revenue shortfall. So instead of lowering my price, I am going to raise it."

Don't laugh - many strip club managers are also guilty of this fallacy. I've heard many a Miami and Broward stripper say something like this, especially since the economy started flatlining.

Unfortunately for them, this strategy only works for monopolies.

nobody likes a cut in pay.

Another thought about "These Chicas don't know what's going on " is that they DON'T know what's going on--most of them have never known anything but scads of horny Gringos streaming into the DR etc. and maybe the airlines are on strike for a month or 2, and that this dry-up won't last. Us worldly folks know that things may never return to 90's-00's "normal". We're in more long-term hunker-down mode. Witness Brother Thirdworld's comments.

Beans and rice my brother, beans and rice.. haha

Most of you who have commented here about the chicas and their pricing undoubtedly know more than me; there have been some very astute comments.

I think that Jazzbo said it very well, the reason these Chicas don't know what's going on . . . is that they DON'T know what's going on.

If a chica lives in Desamparados, Ipis, Purral or some of the rural areas of Heredia, she probably did not go to school past the eighth grade. She may be literate but certainly not at the level of our little group here. She likely started banging out K*ds when she was just a K*D herself because that is what their mother did, that is what everyone else around her has been and is doing, and it just seems to her like the right thing to do -- the cycle of ignorance and poverty continues.
