My 02 on the subject. I am obviously new here and am anxiously waiting my first trip to CR, not quite sure when that will be but Im hoping this year. I feel that hey, Im on vacation, I brought cash to spend so Im gonna spend it. If I meet a nice young lady that is willing to spend a quality 2-3 hours with me, maybe more, then she is worth every bit of cien. I wouldnt want to pay that much for a wham bam thank you mam sort of experience but for the other, heck yea. What Im finding funny as I read alot of these posts is that people are willing to spend $80 but not $100? What is it with the extra $20? Do you feel she is worth $80 an hour but not $100? I dont get it. Now if we were talking $50 that would be a different story. I could see trying to talk them down half but $20? Anyway....so whats the story anyway. Say, you walk into the BM and spot several drop dead gourgeous chicas asking for cien and theyre not budging. Do you bypass them and go to the other less attractive girls for $80 or do you go with the bombshell for cien? I think I would go with the bombshell and take my chances with her attitude......
It's not the $20 that most of us object to, it's a principle...
It's the same principle as to why I won't just pay a cab 2000 colones to take me from SL to HDR. On the meter it'll be 600... Yeah, what's that USD $3 difference? that's nothing, right? Well, it's the principle of it all...
If the girl won't cone off $100, then the chances of having a good time with her are probably not as good as the chances of having a good time with a girl who will, or who'll agree to 2, 3, or 4 hours with you for that 100.
She's also just plain overcharging you because you're gringo...
That's the basics of it...
That's why none of us like paying cien.
I HAVE paid cien, but I've gotten 3-4 hours out of it, or SOMETHING.
In all my time in SJO, I've only paid 100 for a 1hr with a girl once... and that was in January this year...
AND SHE WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY...
But we had negotiated a lower rate, but at the end I had such a great time that I gave her 120... which she said would happen with the way she performed, and, without her even asking, I gave it to her, the session blew my mind.
