My first trip down, Nov 08, I read all the stickys. A lot of info, but necessary. Afterwards, it made more sense. It is important that you understand a few themes of this forum.

1) You are entering a fantasyland. Girls coming up to you and all you do is part with some money which guys typically do.

2) There will always be the debate, whore vs person. Take a look, 2 arms/legs, cranium, sexy body. I'd say, person, woman. But, this person is doing a job. Just remember, your insecurities will come to the table.

3) Read the Novia/Engagement section.

https://costaricaticas.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=19

Understand that this section exposes the fantasy versus reality part of P4P. I am not sure if you have to join and this is not a plug to join. My opinion, I have read more practical information about life, that it actually outweighs the discounts.

4) Never care nor worry about about a mistake. We have all made them. Rather, take interest in learning more about yourself. I would say we are all them same soldiers, just different wars to fight in life.

5) Self respect and worth will carry you through life, no matter where you are.

6) Read through the previous trips reports. Do not get caught up in them, because your situation will, most likely, be different.

7) I can not post all the pertinent threads to help your adventure. But, then again, why know every litlle detail? That is part of the fun. I choose the word fun because that is what you are supposed to have.

In regards to guys you meet that are part of this forum, they all have different perspectives in life, BUT, they are actually true in their intent. Not everybody is the same, but a healthy mind takes in information, processess it, and then extracts the important parts. Important for you. Never be closed-minded because it is exactly as stated, closed.

9) Oh, another theme, speaking the language. I would say, it can only help. You will still have sex.

10) In closing, just relax (and I am not saying go to Relax). You will not know exactly, from others words, what makes your trip. You are on vacation and everybody is different. Just keep to your core values (corporate word, sorry), and you should have a good time.

For the veterans, I would have enjoyed reading something like this prior to my trip. I just figured I would give something back. I think I have generalized enough. To make it a debate would only dilute the purpose. Upgrades are always welcome, but I would ask to keep in general.

my first wingman sent me this, how true

" most of the girls down here, lie as a self defense mechanism and to not have to face the truth, thinking most men couldn't accept them knowing the whole truth. Simpler, they may just want men to think they are as perfect as they want to appear to them, trying to hide what they consider to be the ugly truth about themselves. And I may be reading more into it than is there, but I do believe they consider the basis of the lies to be justified."

I like it....

As good a summation of what the "fantasyland" experience should be and how to deal with it, as you're going to find. Excellent job, Brother Dean.

I agree 100%. The only place I even used the card was for the SL hotel bill. The camaraderie is worth more than the cost of membership and more than the discounts. The support and knowledge is a bonus.

I'm a newbie planning my first trrip to CR Your comments and perspective are food for newbies and old heads as well.
Thanks

11) Leave your insecurities at home, especially if they pertain to "not being enough" for (hot) women. Step outside of your comfort zone, CR will afford you the opportunity to come back a changed man in many ways, should you choose to accept it.

Health & happiness to all.........

Touche' Jazz,

Good post Dean

With those thoughts I am totally surprised you are from where you say.

Just as an aside,
You must be a registered user to read the Novia/Engagement section. In other words have a user name and password.

12) You do not have to screw umpteen times per day to have an incredible time. Some of us guys have to pace ourselves.

13) No plan is a good plan, but have an idea of what you want to do.
Side trips places to eat etc but be flexable
14) You may have no intentions of falling in lust but you will
