I concur with Ticalover. I also find almost all Gringas annoying/repulsive. I think you should 'get real'. Granted, not all Gringas fall into that category...only 99% of them. My mother, now deceased, was born in 1914, so obviously that was an entirely different generation. How old are you? Comparing Gringas to a 'DR hooker' is perhaps not a fair comparison, but allow me to give you an 'education'...things started deteriorating in the US in the late sixties, and have gotten progressively worse ever since. If your mother or sisters fall into that age range, then so be it. Chances are good that they have been part of the 'problem'.

For those of you who think I was somewhat harsh, allow me to proffer the following...check out the divorce and out-of-wedlock birth rates in the US since 1970. Incredible! The facts/statistics speak for themselves.

mothers and sister are for the most part not typical. It seems too me even gringas that are in CR for Vaction are easier to approach there. Maybe its all the compitition. I had a chick from Seatle start up a coversation with me at the Monkey bar in Jaco. It was pretty obvious she was flirting with me which does not happen to me that often. Im 39 years old 5' 5" and not exactly the lean mean surfing machine that i used to be. I kinda just chatted with her for a little while then left to go gawk at some latinas. The real world from MTV was there this night filmimg a segment for their show. After closing time I saw her leaving with a tico which I thought was pretty funny.

I headed to diso central and had a great time i bet i coulda saved me 50 bucks if i woulda stuck with the American. But it is very rare that i would have the choice. So i ended up with my 3rd tica for the night. If this woulda happened any other nite in the USA and i just didnt get finished screwing two hotties from the beatle bar earlier. I would have done anything i could to get down this seatle girls pants.

Its nice to have the upper hand for a change and freedom of choice.

Surfdog,

Nice catch on my reference to the "typical gringa". I left that in there on purpose rather than saying "all gringas". Although, I will reiterate that I find the vast majority of gringas annoying and unattractive.

Gringotim,

Nice post.



Hey Ding Dong,

I see you live in Costa Rica, why is that? ...Because you love the rain forest? Because you make money hands over fist there? Why? Whats the attraction to CR?

If you're so hot for the gringa why don't you move back to the states and date your sister?

Tactful, but not really accurate.
What is more typical?

People don't typically date their sisters and mothers.

Therfore, for comparison purposes with latinas, I wouldn't classify a gringo's sister or mother as "typical gringas" from the United States that a gringo would seek out to date or marry with.

Typicaly I would say most peoples mothers and sisters of the people who read this board would have a hard time turning someone on who has been to the Delray. Not too mention most of them would already be married and even most of the sisters would be mothers allready too.

Typical to me would mean girls you might meet at a a bar or a dance club, Or beach somewhere wanting to party and have a good time.

What is typical for you may or may not be typical for me.

Just some of my observations. Most gringas are detrimental to a males state of well being period!

Gringotim's

I find annoying & repulsive mild terms like a Gnat buzzing around my eye getting ready to come in for a drink. Gringas too me are like a spoiled vampire bat going for the jugular and they were not even hungry!! Many of the ones I know of thought of nothing to ruin a man’s life if things did not turn out the way they wanted. Most I believe are so spoiled they have forgotten what reality is all about (out of site out of their minds literally)! The least little bump in the road lookout!! Too me we live in a land of many distortions which is a sad state of affairs as I love the many opportunities this country has given me. Think where we would be at if we didn't have this giant economy behind us. Well I guess if we didn't have this maybe the gringas would at least be a little friendlier as they could learn to appreciate instead of expect.

A friend of mine that has moved back to the US after many years of living outside in a female friendly country had this to say. What happened here since I have been gone? Everybody is wound way too tight; the women seem all psychotic as all seem to be taking the latest antidepressant & are way too heavy compared to what I am use too. From the size of things here it looks like they like food much more than sex.

But to be fair there are a lot of screwed up men too. What I base most of what I have seen is on what has happened to almost all of my good friends & family These were hard working successful guys, they had a lot too loose & really where taken to the cleaners.
YMMV.

PS: Many of the female friends & family members I have talked to have remarked about how men are jerks here & are not that nice? On my last trip to CR a Latino taxi driver told me it is funny many Gringos come here for the Latinas & when the gringas come to CR I know many Latinos that are sleeping with them. Too me it is a fair trade they can have them & keep them.

Gringotim, thanks for the offer but think I will graciously decline.



I as others choose to live here for many varied reasons. While the availability of chicas certainly plays a part in that choice if it is your only reason for living here you will soon move on.

I actually have sympathy for Gringas.

being in my late 20's and, by the grace of whatever all mighty Gods have protected me, still unmarried I find it fascinating to sit back and watch the slow but ever increasing aging of females. Let's face it, males age vastly better then females, and by the time a gringa is around my age the decay is speeding up, the clock is ticking, and the window is closing. All the once cute little girls are starting to sag, droop, and wrinkle.

I went to the 30th B-day of a Gringa I had dated early in college this past summer. A gaggle of Gringas my friends and I partied with years ago were present. After examining the group I didn't know if I should point at them and laugh, get in a group and cry with them, or find the 1st animal that crosses my path and sacrifice it to the grace of whatever all mighty Gods have protected me. A$$e$ were huge, I don't mean Brazilian, giant flab, wrinkles and worn skin, drooping breasts, I can go on and on. The scary part was I had found several of these girls attractive 8 years ago. How easily I could have slipped and married one of these behemoths, or knocked one up and today would be supporting her insane food habit.

As much as a Gringa can piss me off, after I get over my immediate desire for blood, I smile. Time is quickly overtaking their bodies. The future is already written, and I get the last laugh. Sure, we all age, but going back to college in my late 20's I was still able to date 18 year olds. When they are 30 who will they get ? The number swiftly drops as our fellow males fall out of the group getting picked off by marriage, offspring, trips to Costa Rica and the realization they don't need the Gringa, whatever. Their clocks are running, especially if they want little ones. Also, as their insatiable desire for things increases exponentially to their growing a$$ size, the number of males who can give them what they know they deserve gets smaller and smaller. As my earning potential increases, I for one know that my selectivity increases even faster.

This past summer I enjoyed my 1st trip to Costa Rica, by the grace of whatever all mighty Gods have protected me. Upon my return, armed with a large stack of pictures I showed them to one of my Gringa friends. She is my best Gringa friend and other then a couple drunken encounters we have been purely platonic. She loved the photos of me in the jungle, the pics of me surfing, the pics of me fishing, and then she got to the photos of me frolicking in the surf with the stunning 5'8 dark haired, 19 year old 105lb non-working girl I met. She thumbed through the stack of pics of this girl, then said "How am I supposed to compete with that ????" In my mind I said, "Sorry, but you can't." Hahahahaha.

Now, I also feel the need to speak a bit to the Tica. I am worried that they may be placed a bit high on the pedestal. Anyone who thinks that once you step foot in C.R. the clouds part, the beer is free, and the females are without problems is in for a difficult time. I dated two non-working Ticas, and both times it ended in failure, well failure in terms of having a long lasting relationship. These girls can be incredibly naive, and I don't want this to be taken the wrong way, but very immature. I was always stunned when they would lie to my face, with that innocent look, and think that I was stupid enough to believe them. They strike me as little fish in a little pond.

Now, after saying that, if I marry ever I would more likely take a Tica then a Gringa. They poses some fantastic qualities beyond just the obvious beauty. There was a refreshing aspect to spending the day and night with one. Having a female really appreciate being taken out to a nice dinner, or traveling, or being brought hundreds of dollars worth of cloths from an American boutique, means a lot to me. I was stunned when I began with the 1st girl. After chasing her, taking her out to dinner a couple nights in a row, she turned to me and said that no one had ever treated her this well, and thank you. Thinking back to Gringas, it was excepted that I take them out to fancy places every night, regardless, that was my job, my duty, my reason for existence.

Anyway, this was longer then I wanted. Probably cause I just broke up with a Gringa, and am longing for another trip south. *sigh* soon.

You're a little young perhaps to fully realize the situation with Gringas.
Most likely your opinions will change in another twenty years, when you're
in your mid to late forties. Also, being the age you are, you really have nothing to compare the current situation in the US with (except of course your trips to CR), as that's all you've known, but many years ago the situation was actually not as pathetic as it is now.

I respectfully disagree. If you could somehow take a scientific poll of guys who have experience with both Del Rey hookers and with typical gringas, I'd be willing to bet the farm that an overwhelming majority would select the DR hooker. Personally I can't think of a single arguement in favor of the gringa.

I would be interested in your listing, what you consider, the pros of marring a DR hooker.

Ding Dong,

Actually, I have recently gone through the excercise of making a list of pros and cons regarding relationships with Latinas vs. Gringas for a friend of mine. The hooker part does add a new angle to the arguement. I have lived extensively in both Latin America and the US. I have been married (and divorced) with a gringa and am currently married to a Latina. With the exception of marrying a DR hooker, I speak from experience.

DR Hooker positives: assume traditional female roles, sexually adventurous, family oriented, appearance conscious, don't expect perfection in a man, feminine, sexy, accommodating, good mothers, affectionate, caretakers, live for the moment.

DR Hooker negatives: Emotionally jaded, more prone to lying and cheating, lack ambition, distrustful, have unsavory friends, lack social grace, moral issues.

Gringa positives: None

Gringa negatives: Annoying, fat, competitive, resentful, frigid, emotionally needy, materialistic, vindictive, like to complain, play mind games, use the words "like" and "oh my God" entirely too much, and become angry when you don't listen to hours of their bullshit at the end of each day about how difficult their life is.

I fully respect your opinions and all dissenting views, however after being with Latinas, it is difficult to find anything desirable or even remotely interesting in the vast majority of gringas.

Sandinista,

GREAT analogy!!

I have similar experinces as yours & can see exactly where you are coming from. I think Ding Dong is right that it is a very bad idea to marry a hooker but so many of the so called non hooker gringas try too get their hooks into you especially if you have money! What do you call them? Maybe HOOKERS would be the correct term?

I wish I could put a chart here to show how gringas when down hill & Latinas went up hill after I met this culture. It would make your head spin.
