I like the expression "I'm all novia- ed out". This has happened to some of our esteemed brethren,so they made their novia an ESPOSA or ESPOSA TO BE thus changing the status from "bad to worse"

VB,

Too bad we didn't keep statistics on what we have seen with the broken hearted burned out wallet (our worse bank acct.) Gringo bone yard down there. I bet the #s are worse than even we know of ! So many of these Chicas are professionals at stripping everything off those old bones .

Just like mongers are only a small %age of tourists in CR as per that other thread discussing it, CRT'ers are probably a relatively small %age of mongers in CR....I don't know if it would be as small as 5%, but I'd be willing to bet there's lots of guys getting taken out there...

Bobzilla,

My guess is that it bogles the mind how many men have been bilked by all the games. Soft I want to believe men work well for many of us. They become the bait that these lovely Ladies of the night go on patrol for. I feel it is up to us to keep ourselves educated & stay one step ahead of the BS while we enjoy the spawning grounds.

As long as it remains like it is it should remain consistantly fun but if all men turn into Silly Puddy in the palm of some Chicas hands I would say HOUSTON WE HAVE A HUGE PROBLEM !

Novias are nice in CR as long as you get out of the gulch & find the really nice Ticos !

This is exactly what happens to this S-man……

It almost like joining a street gang, it easy to join, but try to break free after the Esposo sh*t starts. I come to believe Gentleman that we are the Blue Marlins, and the Chicas are the Barracuda’s circling the pack, picking off the old and weak. It all right to have a Novia, in fact the more the merry-er, and play everyone of them in front of each other. Remember what MG sayz…NeXT.

I’m thinking how it’s a Latin’s male dominant society, and these Chica are not new to the game. We are on a different playing field. We were taught about chivalry, and being polite. Even I admitt to buying Presents, Jewelry, plane tickets, eletric bills....I don't need to go on for you to get the picture

Now on the other hand, in her world, getting knocked around the apartment because she ran her mouth or pissed his money away her real Esposo's money, well you get the picture

No gentlemen, I say these Chicas know all about chivalrie, and how to exploit it from us at every chance.

MW Definition: Anglo-French chevalerie, from chevaler knight –
1 : mounted men-at-arms
2 archaic a : martial valor b : knightly skill
3 : gallant or distinguished gentlemen
4 : the system, spirit, or customs of medieval knighthood
5 : the qualities of the ideal knight

I’m not saying treat them like sh*t, but there is nothing like getting played by even one of them. From that point forward, in that circle of Chica, you be know as the Knight in Shining Armor A.K.A. Sucker…..
SO WHAT TO DO....... :twisted::twisted:

I never posted my trip report last trip, but I had drinks with VB in the HDR, and If I’m not mistaken VB had five Chica’s (7-9’s) circling that day. He could have given a shit. You know the old saying about the young stud and the old Bull. The stud wants to rush down and F*ck the first heifer, the bull sayz, why not stroll down and we’ll f*ck em all. Stealth that what I’m thinking…That is right after I return from seeing the Spratt next week……. in the Dominican Republic.... :roll::roll:

I never said I prepaid VB……She mi Novia…..

Iggy...

I'd be more than happy to gift you with my ex-nova.

Here's a quick profile... She's 19 and Costa Rican. She finished school at the age of 14, but still is incredibly smart and has infinite wisdom when it comes to wordly matters. She is good looking and has a drop-dead set of tits. She's also great in bed and pretty much willing to hit-it at any moment. Sounds great, doesn't it?

But wait.... before you say "Que Rico. Que Bueno." Here's some more tidbits on her profile...

She is immature, ignorant and lazy. For example, a big and full day of cultural activity consists of sitting on the couch, watching cartoons, smoking cigarettes, talking on the phone, drinking champagne and eating chocolate.

Are you interested in a nice dinner date with her in SJ??? Take her to a nice place. However, she might sulk because she has visions of KFC, BK McDs and Pizza Hut spinning in the back of her head. Don't worry, she still has class... she will order the most expensive meal on the menu and eat about 20% of it. She always takes the leftovers home to feed to her pet bunny rabbit. Then next day, I class-it-down a few notches, and we go to BK where I watch her inhale 100% of it. No scraps for the bunny rabbit from BK. At BK and the like, I tuck-in my shirt and tighten my shoe laces as I am extra-aware of any part of my body close to the human vacuum sitting next to me.

She usually asks for money EVERYDAY. But she has a certain sense of pride about it. So, lately she just holds her hand out, and sighs. I tried to give her a weekly allowance once, but the money would disappear quickly, and shortly thereafter, would be the signature "hand and sigh." I would say "Where are the zapatos you were supposed to buy, sweety???" "Oh... it wasn't enough and I lost the money somewhere in mi casa." "Honey, can you suprise next time with a different story?"

When shit isn't going her way, because her life is soooo complicated, she complains and protests about just nearly everything. Her favorite tactic is getting very quiet. She stops talking. She also walks VERY SLOWLY and does things VERY SLOWLY in an effort to drive you ABSOLUTELY insane. On these days, I tell her to pack a baggie, and I walk to the taxi stand, to send her home to daddy. Its annoying because she will walk at a snail's pace and is usually 20 yards behind me on the way. Its a very taxing exercise for me... it usually happens once a week.

She is also fun on day and weekend trips. I took her to the Carribean coast once and she was fun for about 2 hours. She didn't like their Spanish accents. Thought it wasn't proper. Then, I asked what proper Spanish sounded like. She answered "Ofcourse, the San Jose Spanish." Then, I asked her about all the other Spanish accents in the world and, especially in Spain, where it all originated. She scoffed, and went to the room, and wouldn't come out. This all circles back to her infinite knowledge of the world. I think she got really mad, when I asked her why she doesn't complain about my horrible/non-existent british accent.

Afterwards, I was a little frustrated and walked to the beach where I got stoned with some dude who claimed he descended from Bob Marley. He was smelly and ugly, but much better company.

Still want a novia? I'll send you her email, phone and address. BTW... you'll have to PM me, because I should also send her bank account information and SWIFT for wire transfers.

You really have to treat these chicas like you are breaking a horse. I don't mean in any abusive manner, but letting her know who is boss. Or not even boss, but just calling the shots on my life and anything related to me. They are used to domineering Latin men and they look with disgust at the gringos for being so weak with women. They will push you as far as you let them. It's a game to a lot of them. I don't play much in the DR anymore but I go in there a couple of times a week when I'm in San Jose and I people watch a lot. 75% of the men in there at any given time are sheep to these shewolves. And they laugh with each other and sharpen their teeth, while waiting to pick off the next weakling.

For the record, this is not a gal I met in the gulch. Just an ordinary CR chica with whom I don't have any knowlege of P4P activity. Even worse, after dumping her, I met a new one outside of the gulch from Nicaragua. She is exhibiting some similar characteristics... complaints... but not laziness. She has a job!!!!

Even though I have a home in CR, I'm in the states currently, and may exercise the "rent instead of buy" motto upon return to CR.

Face it guys - unless you met "the one and are willing to marry her" - its just way better.

Chi_trekker,

What a great post! I find this to be right on target with about 75% of the Ticas I have known. Really they are great Moms & terrific to the ones they love & their families but maturity is always lacking in so many ways. They pout & sulk like little K*ds when they don't get what they want.

Even some that are college material I have seen like this. Whether they are a gulch gal or not I have seen this behavior in many . Part of this is the Chicas ages that we play with. Chicas in their early 20's have got a lot to learn in any culture I believe. Maturity takes time & these Ticas seem to be well behind the curve. Colombianas seem a little better in this department from the ones I have known.

At least overall from my experience they are much easier to manage than a Gringa. Their simplicity helps in this department many times.
I have to agree with this comment! I find it the best way also. It is great when you find something that is perfect for you & different in a very good way than all the others but for the most part we find we just are far better off throwing them back to the vast ocean they came from.


If anyone starts a Novia thing with these Chicas what Thirdworld said is very good advice. Treating them like a hen pecked Gringo is a sure recipe for a big mess. You sure can see the difference in the posting with a guy that has been living there a while with many experiences over a guy that has had just a few trips under his belt.

Wait before you PM Chi_trekker for His Noiva's telephone her number.... :
PM me for the Spratts Number.....

The Spratt much more compatible ...Easy to get along with, and most of all…She loves to travel ……all over. Costa Rica, Pamama, Mexico, and of course the Dominican Republic….( Boca Chica, Puerto Plata,Sousa)
There is one catch though, she like to travel alone and @ your expense....
Never will she order the most expensive thing on the menu, Oh no…She’ll just order two entrees and five side orders…You know,…. For later..

Then there her personality…She never complains....( That because she sleeps all day)....

She always happy...Because she know you will be leaving in just a short 72 hours....

Most of all she willing to screw you 24/7....Dah...that what she gets paid for..
Now you're wondering ....HOW MUCH WILL IT COST...... :roll::roll:

WELL HOW MUCH YOU GOT!!!!

Iggy....

PS: WAIT: You'll have to wait until I return from seeing her in DR though, once again I prepaid (sic)..... :mrgreen::mrgreen:

Maybe I have inherited your novia because this is exactly what I got last night at the Fridays in San Pedro, then...very seriously...

Baby, I have alot of troubles, the parents of my ex-esposo are trying to steal my baby away. I need 200 dollars for the lawyer. Appointment in the morning. You no crea? Here, take my cellphone, (she puts her razr in my hands). It is yours. (earlier I told her I wanted to get a phone in CR)

The stories they come up with...

haha...you gotta love this board. Players playing and being played. I laugh every time a guy gets upset when he discovers that gals play the game better than they do....

Hey, if you stick you hand in a sewer most of the time you will get a hand full of cr*p.....so if you are selecting a "novia" from the HDR you are getting a player.

Now, some of the gals are real sweethearts and some do get out of the business. But remember the odds are what 1 in a million. If you are mongering more than likely you will get a hand full of something you really don't want....

So, enjoy the moment and keep you emotions in check. If you want to play, know the game. If you want a "novia" or "esposa" look somewhere else.....but than again you might be the one in a million ... if not I will be reading about you in a later post.

Again, the chicas I was referring to are NOT DR putas. I was trying to make a point. Girls who grow up in CR are uneducated, immature and lazy. Plain and simple. There may be a few exceptions... I can think of a few off the top of my head... but not many.

my 2 colon,

Most , but not all, of the ticas I know both putas and non putas have problems managing dinero, and don't know how to plan ahead.

I think either zig or ruff once posted, the ticas don't even know what they'll doing 5 minutes from now, to paraphrase. That is pretty bang on IMO.
