I didn't meet too many Ticos, but from the ones I met they weren't too attractive. My question is how the hell do the Ticos pick up the hot young Ticas? Also, if they have bebes with the young Ticas... how do they produce beautiful bebes? And if what they say is true, 10 Chicas to every male in CR, how did that come to be?

What is so appealing about Ticos? From what I see they don't have much to offer... anyone. I always go beyond the normal questions whenever I meet any Chica, they've asked me if I was a reporter or something, since I ask a lot of questions. Jamacula can attest to this, I can't shut up. I've always been interested in human behavior and what drives people to do the things they do... and the gulch is a great place to do so. Anyways, a lot of chicas I spoke to admitted to being abused by their no-good drunk Tico fathers. I'm not saying all Ticos are bad, but the chicas I've met have told me horrific stories regarding the abuse they suffered. One Chica mentioned her father got to her and two of her sisters. The mother tossed him out on his ass when she found out about it, only to be left alone to take care of eight hungry Ch*ldren. What a life:(

How the hell do they manage to keep their heads up, along with a beautiful smile on their face? I will never know.

Traylor Park,

This is not true at all look at the true # is not that far from 50:50 ratio.
What all you point out here shows me you never get out of the gulch at all.
Many Ticos are very handsome men better dancers than most of us & they have the romantic language they grew up with. Many are very hard working genuine good men but what you are conditioning yourself too by the type of company you are keeping is leaving you with this lopsided point of view. Get out & really soak up some true Latin life outside the gulch especially if like you say you like to study human behavior. I have too admit the gulch is a great place to people watch!


I agree this is hard too understand because life is not easy there maybe it is there faith in love & their religious beliefs?

TP,
Don't send money!!! I havn't met to many tico/tica families with 8 Ch*ldren, 3 or 4 seems the norm.

Almost legally single again! Voy a Colombia otra vece!!

Oh, I witnessed his interview process. 3 hours later and he finally made up which girl he wanted

Some of the ticos, especially those in the hotel/hospitality industry dont seem that bad looking. They seem pretty mannered and well kept. On the other hand, once you go visit some of the more "local" shops the guys seem like your local garbage man.

I had a few girls tell me some stories about ex tico boyfriends. I have to believe most of it, I mean they get right into the detail and the expression they put into speaking.

I dont understand the whole situation. Those DR girls sell themselves to pay for their K*D, family, home and food. They put up with the shitty tico guys every day of their lives, and yet they come to work happy as anything.

As sad as it sounds its almost like the DR is a sign of relief for them in the game of life.

Ask some hookers in the USA and they'll not have much good to say about AMERICAN men either. Ask hookers all over the world and they not have much good to say about men so Ticas are NO exception. Many of these girls (not sure the percentage) were sexually abused growing up so their inner sole was ripped apart by MEN at an early age. Again this is true the world all over so widen your scope and take a look at the earth from space.

What do the Ticos have to offer? Money isn't everything to everybody. Get outside the Gulch and you'll see another set a standards and morales.

Costa Rica has the largest male population of all of Central America! Reason being the ticos dont go wet-back to the states! Also since C.R. is the richest country down there it draws men (both wealthy buss. types and criminals) from all the C. A. countrys! If you sit on the ped mall notice how many guys there are, about double the women! Also notice how many young very pretty women you see with very old (wealthy) tico men! later

Something else I just wish we could get this infectious smile that the Ticas have back in the USA. Even a fat Gringa is much prettier with a smile than the frown so many have as life here somehow makes them feel as though they have been phucked over & super sized when in reality they have not been phucked that much at all. It just seems so hard these days for Americans to be happy & enjoy the fact that we are alive. So many are so serious, non trusting & just plain unhappy in the land of plenty what gives??? & these poorer people with serious problems are happier?? This is where the Ticos & Ticas have taught me so much in life & that is how too be happier with less! Learning to be at peace with yourself is so hard to do after growing up in the material world.

As I look at our recent history in the USA somewhere we have taken a wrong turn too me. The hippy movement was a little before my time but what I see I like better than now. It was maybe a false dream but people seemed to be into the Love & Peace thing more & live & let live. It appears to be a time when people became very creative with music that carried into the 80's & 90's.

Now we seem to be practiced at the art of deception & distortions (spin city) with negatives all about including the music. No one is responsible for their own actions & the blame game is all to much of a current reality.

I think music & dance helps the ticos immensely as well & the countries I have been in that this form of creativity was restricted or denied really left people in a zombie like depressed state. Music is a very powerful force from what I have seen in my life whether good or bad & of course religion is another even more powerful force just look at the Middle East!

But maybe I am all wrong & just my delusional thinking?

POPULATION IN COSTA RICA:
http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/fa ... tml#People

Are these figures wrong? They don't seem to favor an massive male population compared to women. (If you dispute the numbers, please back your numbers up with a link please.)

(female population is low in China... killing and abandoning and putting girls up for adoption has made it really difficult for males to find brides in China)

I was refering to the myth of 10/1 not the reality. When you hear people talk about CR they always mention this fact. The cab driver at the airport mentioned the same thing. When I told him I heard it before, he replied, "I know what you heard, but it's true." I don't know the actual number of Ticos/Ticas. Maybe that just refers to the gulch area, because I thought the census takes into consideration the large influx of chicas who come everyday para trabajar at the DR. You know what I'm saying?

I'm planning a xmas, new years eve trip to CR for 11 days, will be staying in the gulch on my first day and last day only. The other days will be spent traveling... getting to know family of friends I made on my last two visits. This should give me a different prespective on the Tico life. I'm 36 and seriously considering making the move to CR. The cold weather in Chicago is finally getting to me. It's COLD!!

I will also spend one day at the DR finishing up a conversation with a chica I met, we were discussing the meaning of life over some red bull.

Don't buy the chicas Red Bull - waste of money. They all want that crap and I think they want it just because it drains our pocket way more than a beer or any of the other simple drinks.

Waste of money man - tell her to select another drink.

I'm not sure their goal is to drain our pockets. They believe our pockets are bottomless. RedBull is just a trendy drink and they "look good" drinking it.

Maybe I'll save an empty can and fill it with Nyquil. About the same price, it tastes better, and TLN would be cheap.
