Man, tthe SL is like a soap opera every day.
I've been getting tons of e-mails from my amigas there about all the weird happenings of late.
I won't mention names, but several have written to tell me all the details about one very popular chica who they say scammed lots of gringos and chicas with stories of a very serious problem that they tell me turned out to be just a ploy to get sympathy and donations.
Then I get an anonymous e-mail from some chica who'se e-mail address I don't recognize, telling me that my favorite chica is playing me for a fool and that she is actually wealthy and owns businesses in San Jose and back in the city where she is from. She tells me that my favorita has a husband and that my money helps support him, and that my favorita is always making fun of me and two other gringos who are her regular clientes because we are such fools.
And before anyone replies that I'm talking about Ana. Let me say my friend is not her. Yep, Ana has other business interests, but it ain't her. Besides that, Ana is one of the most honest women I know.

Whoever sent me that e-mail also sent a really nasty one to my friend, and one to a relative in her home country telling her that her kin is a low-life whore in San Jose..
Whew! Someone is pissed at someone.
The big problem with the e-mail I received is that I know that it is mostly bullshit. I know where my favorita lives and the people she lives with. I've talked with her mother on the phone several times and am pretty familiar with their financial situation. (The mother and sister think she has an office job in CR and that I am a boyfriend.)
This girl and I have spent many weeks together and she is always totally honest with me. Hell, I know she fishes for customers every day in the great sea of gringos in the gulch. Some of her other regular clients are CRT acquaintances of mine, and I'm not jealous. She's a hooker for a living, and I knew that when I met her the first time.
There are probably a dozen chicas who have my e-mail address. I can eliminate about half of them right off the bat, because I know them very well. And of course they sometimes send me those group e-mails -- videos or jokes -- that have about 50 e-mail addresses at the top of the page, so I guess my e-mail address could be in just aobut anyone's hands.
I've been caught up between warring chicas before, but only when I'm there in the flesh and one girl is pissed because I'm laying a C-note on a competitor. And I've had chicas warn me before that some other chica wasn't to be trusted, or that something another chica told me was a lie.
But this whole e-mail defamation campaign is a new one for me.
Whoever it is should probably be careful. Costa Rica is famous for it's big libel and slander judgements.

If someone had written and told me this stuff about a chica I don't know very well, I'd probably take it as a fair warning and avoid that girl on my next trip.
It just so happened that in this case, my friend is one whom I've known for a long time and whose total life story I know.

I know there are a couple other CRTers there who may read this and who have done business with and helped my friend out before. All I can say about that is: Thanks. Good for you. It's good to know that there are other guys who treat these girls like humans.

I post all this mostly as a warning that you can't always believe everything one girl says about another in that den of jealousy. Sometimes it's just aggressive competition, or an attempt at revenge.
And in recent months, many of the girls have done a lot less business than in past years, and so many of them are more competitive than usual.

It has always amused me to listen to the gossip among the girls. They're pretty hard on one another, even though they constantly smile and kiss each other on the cheeks. And I've heard some pretty strange things they say about some of us also. Again, I won't mention names, but I've learned about some CRT regulars with some pretty strange preferences.

But the gossip and name-calling seem to have escalated of late.
Guess it's just that good ol' holiday spirit kicking in.
Feliz Navidad!

interesting The less buyers the more claws.The content of your post has been addressed at least a couple of times.When money and or a steady client/friend is involved it can get pretty cutthroat especialy given the current economic conditions.

Mongeral,

Sorry bro but if you are giving Gulch Chicas your email you are literally inviting being played!

I keep in contact with several of my amigas in MDE but as a general rule they are nowhere near as "Hard Core" as the little darlings to be found in the Gulch.

i see no problem with giving out one's email address to stay in contact. it may help in developing a good *working* relationship for future visits, maybe for a freebie or extra TLC or simple friendship thrown in.

however, suggestions are to:
- not use your real email account
- remember they're working girls and working girls play games

To each his own opinion, Rainman. Quite a few chicas, including some "retired" ones no longer working in the gulch, have my e-mail adress.
Yeah, I get occasional RFMs. Once in a while, for the girls I know really well, I even loan them a little advance on services for my next visit. And I have yet to be burned on such transactions.
I don't send anything to girls I don't know really well. And I always turn down those stupid requests for IPODs and computers and cosmetic surgeries, etc.. But it doesn't bother me that they ask.

Honestly, I've had really good luck with most of the girls I've met in San Jose. The ones whom I've gotten to know pretty well don't bullsh*t me and I don't bullsh*t them. I do know a couple of girls there who are notorious for requesting money from every client via e-mail and fabricate all sorts of "emergencies" to justify the requests.
I spent time with one such girl on three trips, but I finally had to tell her "No mas," after being badgered endlessly for money. I still buy her lunch or a drink now and then. She's in the SL five or six days a week. I even explained to her that the reason I don't go with her any more is that I didn't, as we say here in the states, "take her to raise," and that if she had been a little less aggressive in trying to wheedle every dime out of me, that I would probably still be giving her a few hundred bucks on every visit.
She even confessed that she's a slow learner, and that a few years back she had a gringo who was virtually supporting her and her with monthly Western Union donations of a few hundred dollars, but that he finally cut her off because she pushed it too far.

But I don't see any reason to be paranoid about most of them.
I do think that speaking a little Spanish has helped me determine who is being straight with me and who is trying to snow me.

Caveat emptor!

Mongereal, the way I see it, you got a bad case of Costa-Rica-Putitis-Novitis and cannot see clearly what is front of you. From your report, here are some points of interest;

1 – You keep talking about chicas honesty like that is something that actually exists. Here you need to really open your eyes. Unless you live in CR, most of what a chica is telling you is a lie. And probably what her mother is telling you is a lie. It is part of the game and aura in which they play. So unless you can verify and I mean actual American Court verification level, NSA assurances, it is all a lie. Enjoy the pu*sy and move on.

2 – Like you, I like to stay in touch with my favoritas, email, phone calls, Messenger, Facebook, Hi5, etc. There is a limit at the BS drama that I would put up with. Maybe your favorita got nothing to do with this or maybe she does. Here is went I will recommend as many others have said before. MOVE to another monger location for a while. Get CR and the chicas out of your system. Colombia, Brazil for a while, then comeback with a fresh look.

3 – Do not sweat the chica drama. If you are that concern, read number 2 again.

4 – You seem to be too assuring of how much you know your chicas, their thoughts, behaviors and responses. I cannot even be that assure of my childhoods friends or even my brother here in the USA, let alone know what a chica is thinking in CR. Anytime you feel that confident, read number 1 again.

Not trying to flame but talking to you from my heart. Since I sometimes, feel like you do. Peace.

Wow, I thought it was p4p. Coming down here for drama doesn't quite register. Gotta get me a girl up in the SL to get some of that easy money. One hasn't reported back, hope she made a big score.

Some guys need drama TW, sex with being yelled at afterwards must be part of the fantasy https://costaricaticas.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=31741

Al:

No flames here as I have found myself struggling to understand the inconsistencies between what my favorita says, does, and what I hear about her. It took me a short while to realize that she was lying. There is a pattern to the lies and if you spent some time analyzing, you could start putting most of the truth together. What I suggest you try to get your mind around is 1) she will lie to you about anything to keep you feeling good about her and keep some money flowing (and yes, I know she says the money is not important to her). Her family is well trained to lie to you because they understand a gringo is a prize to be treasured - she doesn't have to tell them this -they just know. They may even refer to you affectionately as a member of the family (Tio, Hermano, Cuneado, Hijo, Sobrino, Primo, etc.)

The chica sending you the nasty email is probably telling you pieces of the truth as well - but you must remember that she is a liar also. Your favorita probably took one of her clients and this is an "I'll get my pretty and your little dog too" kind of response.

At the end of the day you need to decide a few things about yourself - if you want to spend the energy trying to figure out the "truth" - then secretly, you enjoy the drama and it makes you feel good or important in some way. Nothing wrong with this - everyone gets a little something different out of CR.

If you do not want to constantly wonder - what is true - then "next". You can still help occaisionally and treat them like princesses - you will just not be expending a lot of emotional energy.

Based upon what I have read in your posts - you need to shed the idea that you have any real idea of truth or motives with this girls - you are clearly a good guy from a different world than these girls.

Also - you can hold on to the idea that she really cares about you (she probably does) - it just means something different to her - remember "mundos diferente".

Good luck.

Peace, love, lies for all,

Don Rico

Sounds like the regular old drama scene here. Do yourself a favor and don't waste time with this crap. If you let them suck you in then it's you that likes the drama.



Famous? What are they going to get in a judgment here anyhow? A large sum of money?

Business is very poor here right now. Just as it is everywhere in the world. Many of the girls are hungry. However there are still some (especially in the DR) that won't budge from cien.

haha This is better than a novella. Just go in assuming they are all lying to you. And who cares? I get a nut, she can lie her ass off. It's a business, they are there to make money. All this lovey dovey shit just plays right into their hands. But please keep it going, that money funds a lot of folks here in CR.

Sad, but true. I guess the best vaccine to surviving the gulch is: "Just go in assuming they are all lying to you." No monger should take this personal, it is a tool of the p4p profession. "And who cares?"... We get a service, and they make some colones. It's a business plain and simple. I'm amazed by the number of guys on here who fall into the same p4p traps even though volumes have been posted in here on this topic.

Best advice in this thread.

One more piece of advice -- despite the American male's tendency to NEED to think in absolutes (win/lose, p4p/romance, black/white, men/women, she lies/she is honest, I am right/everyone else is wrong), there are always shades of gray in every situation.
