Actually, it was really easy. I did a copy-and-paste from the internet and added about 15 minutes of comments. It just shows how the novia paradigm EXACTLY mirrors the concept of alcoholism and denial.
The funny thing - this whole concept applies to both chicas inside and OUTSIDE the gulch. As some may know, I'm in a struggle with the latter. Even if they aren't prostitutes, they still view you as soft and vulnerable targets in CR. They constantly try to take advantage of you.
My major lesson to be learned is to have a good time with them, have great sex, but don't take them too seriously.
My second lesson-learned is that the most HONEST relationship a gringo can have with a chica in CR is pure pay for sex. The second you try to change this honest business transaction, you set yourself up for all kinds of shit. In the end, it isn't worth the headache.
