YO Debros:
You forgot to supply one important thing about yourself.....your age.
The truth of the matter....it really depends upon your AGE. Forget all the bullshit about how age does not matter much in latino countries. I don't care how many discos, shops, eateries or malls you search through.....a gringo over 50 is not going to find a non pro 20 year old that likes him for who he is and wants to "date." Now if you are in your 20's or 30's, dress well and can speak basic conversational spanish then the places mentioned here by other members do provide that opportunity for chicas in their 20's....unless you're just plain drop dead ugly and have a lard gut and ass. Ans as mentioned here many times....as for pros and semi-pros age disparity is not a disqualifying issue over 90% of the time. The color of money is the matchmaker.
And yes, there are exceptions in every thing but the vast majority of young non pro women are attracted to younger men who are not more than 10 to 15 years their senior. It's certainly not as bad as the gringa bitchitas in the U.S. where old Circus would get slapped if he ask a 38 y.o. woman out.
In my experience, I have found when most latino women pass approx. 30 to 35 years of age their expectations change dramatically and that security outweighs the sexual aspects of the man....not all but in many situations.
When I was in my 40's and 50's I met some quality ladies in their 30's to early 40's attending events, orchestra shows sponsored by the National Theater in SJ. And through resident friends there. My good friend, CRdreamin and my age, met a number of fine ladies in the resorts and hotels during his travels all over the country in the 90's......some ticos called him Clint Eastwood....he had that similarity.
Anyway, I haven't been much help in your quest but I did want to point out that your age and linguistic skills will dictate your success in finding non pro chicas. Hell, even old Circus seeks out the non pros and younger women but the last time I asked a person where someone with my age and looks could find them.......they said try the mortuary. It's pitiful being me.
Circus,
This is TOTALLY true in SJO. If you expect the real world to be something similar to what you see in the gulch, then do a double-check. I have been all over the clubs in and oustide of SJO. IMHO... the average age is in the mid-20's and the chicas are not always looking at me... they are looking at ticos their age. For the record, I'm in my mid-30's and look several years younger. Honestly, I feel too old in many spots.
Don't get me wrong. Girls are MUCH easier than they are in the US. I have had some easy success, but must qualify; half the time I wasn't looking cuz I have a novia and the other half; I'd already been drained, so wasn't really interested. If I were to really put-forth effort, it would be fairly easy. Statistically, my success is better than the US, but when I look back, not a whole lot better.
(Okay... I was a dirty SOB in my twenties in Chicago, but you get my point)
Everyone needs to come to the realization that not every girl in CR is a prostitute. The ones that are.... ARE VERY EASY... what do you expect??? If they don't ask for money, its an alternative agenda.
I always witness guys, who come down with huge egos, thinking every girl in Costa Rica is in love with them. (I sort of used to be one). They always listen to the story of their so-called-amigas about the ticos beating them anbd treating them like this... this... that,,, and more of this. Its all bullshit. They are just playing into your fragile ego. The girls that are really good-looking all have young handsome boyfriends and/or husbands. These are the guys they really love (or so thats what they tell them).... This is who they spend their time with after work. They also have a list of fat, drunk and older gringos, that send them money on a regular basis. If you find a "special gal" in the gulch, then re-read this paragraph, because you will otherwise face the normal fate.
I challenge guys to get outside the gulch. I'm not talking about Bar Castros or El Pueblo, which is where hookers hang-out, on their off nights. Okay.. there might be a few regulars and many fatties... but on the weekends you will find a strong hooker contingent.
I'm talking about discos and bars in upper-scale neighborhoods. This is where you will find the high-class hotties.
I was in a restaurant in Escazu last weekend. A random and very drunk gringo, about my age, was slurring bad spanish and trying to hit on women in the bar. They were mostly polite, but OUTWARDLY calling him a "tonto" which means dummy. He claimed he spoke spanish, but honestly didn't realize they were all making fun of him.
