The Tica of the month stirred my interest and prompted this question that I will do my best to preface it correctly.

I am 45, no "Gods Gift", but I am very selective about who I date. In the lingo of the board, I only date what most would consider "trophies." I'm nothing special, just a good guy people like. I had been interested in taking a trip to Costa Rica. But the more I read on the board, the guys seem to all say that only the 5-6-7's are fun to be with, that the "trophies" are all hardened and no fun to be with.

So I got kinda cold to the idea of flying to Costa Rica to do average when I do well here. And that's the reason I never became a VIP on this sight. But the Tica of the month got me wondering.

My question is this, and it may be an absolutely stupid one: If I were to do my due diligence, and seek advice from members here, could I find "trophy" girls in Costa Rica that are fun to be with as well as to look at? I realize every one has their own opinions as to which girls are atractive. But I mean gorgeous girls, nice bodies, (plastic suits me just fine) I think everyone could understand what I mean.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

From what I have seen, you can indeed find really beautiful girls who will give good service. The problem is finding one and knowing when you found one. I think if you know how to do an attitude check, you can do fine. Just don't get stuck on any one chica. Also, though this be heresy, I think you can get better service if you tell them you will give a large 'propina' afterwards if you are really really satisfied.

Just as most of us enjoy sex more if it's free, many of these girls enjoy it more if they are overpaid. Not all, but at least some. Overpaying does not ensure a great performance, but I think it enhances the odds. They see you as a potential cash cow (bull?) and will try harder for repeat business than for a guy who has bargained them down below what they think they are worth.

Disclaimer: I don't overpay or follow the above system. If I were rich enough maybe I would, though. Or not.

Why "settle" for a "7" in CR when you can get "7's" back home for "free"?

First of all, nothing is ever really "free". With gringas you often pay in other ways. Second, the "7" in CR and the "7" back home may look the same but the attitude can be very different. Let's look at these two ideas.

Are you using the term "date" euphemistically for domestic-mongering? In which case, I can only imagine how much more you're paying for those "trophies" than what they'd cost in CR or how often you can afford to go with such high-priced talent. But even if you're referring to supposed non-pros you may be paying in other ways. The hidden cost of those "free 7's" may be dinner, drinks, flowers and the occasional gift, while a few hours with that professional "7" in CR may not cost you any more than what you'd have to pay just for yourself when going out back in the US. Then there are the hidden non-monetary costs. With the chicas in CR you never have to constantly listen to their petty problems or complaints about you or, worse, the push for a greater level of commitment that you'd eventually get with a gringa. Oh, you might get it to some degree, but its MUCH easier to leave behind or ignore (and why some gringos allow themselves to become victims of that is subject of a whole 'nother thread). In CR, it is mostly and basically a business deal pure and simple. You can get the GFE (Girlfriend-like Fantasy Expereince) without all the negatives of actually having a real girlfriend and when you tire of the experience (or get your rocks off, whichever comes first) you can just walk away. Just try making that clean break with most gringas. In sum, there are many more ways we can wind up paying than just with money.

The idea behind guys going for the "nice 7's" in CR as opposed to the "trophy chicas" is not just to compromise quality of looks for price. It is because they often have better attitudes and more GFE service than those supposed "trophies". You can certainly try to get your cake and eat it too with GFE service from the "trophy-quality" chicas. What most guys find is: a) the odds of getting that GFE service with the hottest girls goes WAY down and b) the price they demand goes WAY up.

You can try and buck those odds and everybody has their own comfort level of where they go on that trade-off, but what many others have found is that in CR, as in many other places, the cost you pay does not always correlate with the quality you get in return (at least in terms of attitude if not looks as well). Often you can pay a lot more for that "Del Rey 10", at least in terms of CR prices, and regret it the moment you get back to the room (when the hidden cellulite come spilling out of those skin-tight jeans or the ceaserean scar is revealed or when she starts stating her limits and/or tries to upsell you or pushes you to come quick so she can get back to the HDR /BM so she can score another sucker). You may get all that with a cheaper less attractive chica too, but not nearly as often. And even if you do, what are you out? You can still afford to go out and find something better.

I'll leave you with some estimates. Follow the 80-20 rule. Say that only 20% of the chicas you meet will fall into that top bracket (I'd say less but lets use 20%). And say that only 20% of them have good attitudes, while the exact oppostie is true for the more average looking girls(again, I'd say less but lets use the 80-20 standard). That would mean that your chances of finding a "trophy" with a good attitude is only 4% whereas your chances of finding an average girl with a good attitude is 64%, with the rest split evenly at 16% a piece between a hot-girl/bad attitude or, the worst combo, a so-so-girl/bad attitude. Some guys like the hunt for that 4% and don't mind the high priced clunkers they'll get 80+% of the time, while others prefer the simplicity and greater assurance of targetting that much broader 64% of the market.

Gonewest,

Prolijo post is the truth. I am very much like you age and demeanor from what you post. The one difference is I am a little more of a slut LOL. I like variety so as you put it settling and or getting a bad attitude for me is part of the adventure.

The general attitude of the women is what I come for. To a woman they make you feel more like a king than any gringa in the states. You will be able to see the attitudes from most of the trophies before you "invest" Maybe this comment will help. When I pick a trophy often they are wonderful to be with. They provide great gfe service. But you know where they stand when a few hours is up and they are going to leave. Having said that I have found many beautiful woman who know how to give me the gfe I am looking for and want. I have no doubt that as soon as I sell my company and my teenage son is in college I will be living in CR.

Pro.....Well said. Lots of truth in your post. I know based on experience.

BTW, Bilko and travelman also speak the truth when they say you can drastically improve your odds of finding a "trophy" with a good attitude by being discerning and taking your time with the "interview". That can at least eliminate the obvious clunkers, but doesn't exactly leave you with a large pool of "possibles". However even that is still no guarantee. As a LOT of these girls have learned to talk a good game and all those things you were assured of back in the bar have a way of becoming "off the table" when you get back to the room or, if delivered, are not delivered in the style and manner that you were hoping for.

Gonewest,

in your post you mention that you don't want to travel to Costa Rica and end up with the 7's or 8 chicas. YOur initial interest which prompted your "stupid question" is that the TOM got you excited about making a trip. well the TOM to me is like a 4 in my book. So other members 7's may well be a 10 in your book.

i say book the flight and explore all the Costa Rica has to offer and while your at it maybe you will meet the "trophy" chica you are looking for.

as i read your post i thought about my first trip to Costa Rica. My wingman and i were there for 7 days and i remember talking to him about how "hot" some of the chicas in HDR where but wondered while i never took any of them back to the room. These were 10 chiacas and I found it interesting that they never caught my attention past the initial glance over.

i have fallen crazy in love with two women in my life and they were both about 7's. one chica one gringa. looks are not everthing. it is surprising who you end up falling in love with. even for an short hour or two.

you will be surprsied when a chica treats you like a king, like a man and only after knowing you for about an hour or so... you may well change your mind and the 7 chica you met earlier is now a 10 in your book.

on my last trip i promised myself to take a 10 back to my room, as usual it never happened.

make the trip have fun and take lots of pics for the board members who are stuck back in the states.

GW,
sounds like we have some things in common. I suggest reading the interview and the hunt threads posted long ago by KingCosta which will teach you the right questions to ask the chicas and what to look for. (I'll dig those up if you can't find them)
But one problem being your first trip is you will not know the jaded regulars from the new faces wandering in or have the experience to spot what you seek. And obviously looks aren't everything. I've learned not only the regulars and ones to avoid but how to spot that new, hot package as soon as she walks in the door. See my latest trip report- last Sat. night one walked in about midnight and I zeroed in on her immediately. She is top-shelf gorgeous and I'd never seen her before and usually can find at least one like her each trip but it does take work- time, effort and knowing some spanish, something most guys don't care bother with while on vacation. She said she only hits the HDR 1or2/month and usually gets 150.00, and I don't doubt it, she's model material. And the hot ones know they're hot and it doesn't take long to get an attitude, luckily she didn't have it (yet).
Most guys like to sit around and drink, waiting for the right one to walk by while a few take the hunt seriously, always keeping an eye peeled for that trophy or fresh face.
Ok, so you spot one of the gems what next- do you speak spanish? A must for the best experience and price in my opinion since most of these hot part timers or "semi-pros" don't usually speak english. Time to turn on the charm, make her laugh, buy her a drink and tell her how special she is while you ignore every other chica around you. If she's not all business and in a hurry take her dancing or for a bite to eat. I know most guys laugh at this but if you get her comfortable with you and show her your a decent guy and at least act interested in a little more than 20 minutes of slobbering over her in the bed it goes a long way. Being a gentleman pays off big. (I spent about 3 hrs. with my 9.5)
But even if I hadn't met her there are always plenty of sweet, hot ladies to make the trip worthwhile and as TP says the best times are not always with the 9 & 10's but many of the 7 & 8's will rock your world if given a chance, the interview and learning to trust your intuition is the key.

Gonewest:

I have just returned from my "virgin" trip to CR.

As with anywhere, when you are talking about looks, there are thousands of 10's, and thousand's of every other number. Men are into looks, and women money. That is what helps make CR "The Perfect Storm."

Take the current TOM. Many have posted about her lack of beauty, while others want to know how to get to her. Looks are very subjective. A 10 to me, could be a 2 to you.

I chose to spend time with a seven, with a ten attitude about the time we spent together. A "cute" Nica (don't call them that, they think it is a derogatory Tico term), petite, light chocolate skin, natural rack, with great erasers. She didn't speak English and my Spanish is "un pochito" at best (learn as much as you can before you go). Her participation and desire (non-verbal), not only in bed, more than made up to me the -3 in looks. I treated her like I would any woman, whether for pay or not, and she responded. AS PL said, "Being a gentleman pays off big.". We spent time during the day at the zoo, museum, etc. She also "wanted" a TLN. While it was great fun, it was still about her job and money. She just played it from a different angle. You see, this is exactly what I was looking for when I went to CR, and I found it (or she found me). If you know what you are looking for, not what others write or say, you will find it.

Listen to the many tips that the veterans have given you, but go with no agenda other than to have fun. Also, don't wait for anyone or anything woman, or other VIP's. The women are in it for the money and the other VIP's have their own needs to cover. Things in CR change in the blink of an eye.

Costa Rican women are no different than any other women in the world, they just speak Spanish. You say that "you do well" here, there is no reason to believe that you will not do well there (whatever that means to you).

Health & happiness.

THANKS,GUYS!

I had no idea I would get this many well thought out, kind , helpful responses. Certainly not this quickly. They have indeed rekindled my interests. And I agree with everyones opinion, each has his own idea of what is perfect for him.

It does cost to date as well as monger. But I have found that the younger girls here don't expect NEARLY as much as those "my age". Plus,they APPRECIATE anything you do or say. Maybe it's just where I live, a little north of Atlanta, but most of the girls that age don't seem to have the esteem to expect too much.

Everybody has a different idea of perfection. But if the real hotties are there, maybe with some help from others to show me the ropes at ground zero, I could make this a successful trip.

Thanks again to everyone.

I appreciate the replies on this thread. I am set for my first trip on Monday and am looking forward to putting this information to use.

Monger on,

JD

Gone,
Seems pretty amazing you can even find a younger woman in the U.S. If I look at one here, I always get that "dirty old man" look in return.

Zebra

Gonewest if you joined I could direct you to a photo in the vip section. I considered this chica a 9. She was about 5' 9" , slim with nice size natural chest.You had to be around her to get the full effect of how naturally sexy and beautiful she was.

Gonewest,
Sorry I haven't read the responses so I hope I'm not repeating what they said. (I have no attention span.)

Anyways, I wouldn't make a decision to go or not based on pics you see on the board. Keep in mind, many women do not want to be photographed so you will never see them here. Obviously, everybody's tastes are different, so a 6 to you could be a 9 to me, and vice versa. I would recommend you go and check it out for yourself. Afterall, it's close and it's relatively cheap.

For whatever it's worth, there are plenty of trophies in the DR/BM. When you see one, talk to her, and if you click....

YO Gonewest:

If old Circus could go back about 20 years to your age I would be more inclined to feel comfortable with getting top shelf women on either side of the border. Sadly though, when you hit 50 it gets really difficult to find those women in their 20's north of the border. When you hit 55 it's like playing the lottery, the odds are extreme here in the U.S. BUT, when you hit 60 plus......shit !!! Don't even buy a lottery ticket....it's over except for in your dreams....unless you have mucho dinero.

The sad reality is that for certain men their taste in women hardly changes as they become older. A 10 is still a 10 and a 4 is still a 4. Personally, my idea of a beautiful women is the same as it was 30 years ago. Age does not lesson one's standards but the attitude of the woman does seem to play a stronger role than before. By the time a mongerer reaches 60 he has certainly bagged his fair share of 8,9 and 10's with a number of 4 thru 7's on rainy, in a strange town or drinking days.

I'd kill to be 45 again but when I was that age I would have probably killed to be 25 again.....the better my health and dick were the better my quality of life was...... along with my prime directive, SEX.

Remember, you won't know until you have tried it. Central and South America are entirely a different atmosphere and once you have flavored it you will indeed find what you are looking for in women. Also remember, 10 to 15 years from now those hotties around your stomping grounds will dissapear with no replacements but you will have carved out new territory in CR where they breed like bunnies and your pecker can always find a home.
