Gentlemen-

I gotta say teaching someone how to make people laugh is like teaching someone how to phuck. Either you do it well or you don't. If you don't do it well, then learn to improve. I'm not hung like Ron Jeremy (In this country its Juan Jeremy), but I make do with what I have and rock on. Same with makin a chick laugh. Shit! You guys make me laugh on this board with what I read. I've seen some guys at the SL have NO Spanish skills whatsoever!!! None! Yet there they are...makin a scene and laughing with the girls. I didn't exactly hear what the guys were talkin about but he was all out trying to talk to this girl, turned around, smacking his own ass. The girls were dyin!

First and foremost, LEARN SPANISH!

If you don't know Spanish and refuse to learn, have several drinks, start havin fun! If yer havin fun, they're havin fun.

It's strange what you get when the girl looks at you more than just a number...

Okay, seriously...you have no Spanish skills but want the best shot at a good time:
- Find a girl who speaks some English. There are many.....
- Have a good time! Be smiling and in party mode, not some sour-faced guy all wrapped around the axle because you have to negotiate with a chica.
- Keep it light. Grumpy faces are hard to agree with. Smiling faces are much easier.
- You are going to have a good time, with or without her. She has an opportunity to have fun with you if she cares to. Don't make her feel like it is up to her to make your night.

Work the angles:
- You have been here ten days. (You know what's up.)
- You will be here for another ten days. (She may make another score on a repeat performance.)
- You plan on returning soon and often. (Maybe an ongoing payday for her.)
- You like to party, not just clam up in your room expecting her to provide all the entertainment.
- A great attitude makes up for many failings in a monger, just as it does in a chica.
- Have fun with it! Sure you are anxious about making a wrong choice but you are here to have a good time and, with proper precautions, you really have little to lose. Lighten up!

I'm planning my return trip (LD Weekend!!! Yeah!) so my posts have increased. So bear with me I'll slow back down once I get back. LOL

Negotiations. I hate to follow on such good advice. Pac, in my opinion, is right the vast majority of times. If you follow his advice you'll do alright.

I would like to add just a couple of things. The best negotiations are the ones where both parties walk away from the deal feeling like they came away with something of value. For Tica's it might be a certain $$ amount. For a monger, at least at first, you might think it would be a low ball $$ amount. But I think if your goal is to get the absolutely lowest dollar amount you can get on each "deal" you're making a mistake. There are so many more factors for us, as mongers, than there are for the Ticas. They want a pay check. What we really want is a really good time. Isn't it? For us a good time has many facets.

Look I don't speak shit for Spanish, but I can talk and I know a thing or two about negotiations. My advice is to as much as possible make the negotiations seem less like negotiations. Have fun. Enjoy yourself. Talk. But most importantly...Listen. Try to find out what is important to her. You'll be much more successful when you help her get what she wants. Believe me. This is no different than life. You can be a monger or you can be someone that is more than just a pay check. Negotiations in mongering are no different than any other negotiations. Keep it light, keep it fun and walk away if it doesn't get you what you want.

Look I'm no expert in CR but I've basically been a negotiator all my life. If you find a girl you HAVE to have and she HAS to have cien... then don't get hung up on cien. Laugh about it. Keep it light. Say ........"Wow, that's a lot" or wow her with. with your Spanish and say..... "wow, that's mucho"! LOL Then back away from the subject. Don't say Yes and don't say no. Talk about the weather or something. Tell her you like her, she's beautiful, she has a nice smile. Anything. Say something like, "I've talked to a lot of girls around here and a lot of them are willing to go for mucho less than cein but I like you.". Listen, listen, listen. See what she says. I could go on and on about say this say that but what it all comes down to is making it happen. I've read the experts here and over and over you hear the same thing. When you can't negotiate price, negotiate service. Again, guys I can not even begin to tell you how important it is to keep the mood light and fun. If it gets down to a few bucks ... I sure as hell don't want a girl going down on me, with me knowing that she is thinking "this cheap bas*tard couldn't give me that 10 dollars more I need for the little Rico's shoes. For me at least price is the last thing I'm going to negotiate! But at the same time don't be a chump.

Well that's my ramblings on the subject. I didn't say anything new but maybe I said it in a way that makes sense to you.

outright asking about "upgrades" invites the "upsell"

Examples:
DFK
Anal
DATY
BBBJ
BBBJTC
etc...

Tactfully bring up what your looking for and what you expect for your money (art of the interview). It's best if she brings it up as her way of "closing the deal".



Remember, you will always catch more flys with honey than with vinager.

Exactly.. if you know at least a few phrases in Spanish it helps to get a feel for the girl. If she tries to press fast forward on it, then it may be a good time to say NEXT.

I disagree with Bonepony.

Bringing up extras sets expectations. If she sees this as an upsell it is your chance to walk away. Better now than when you are in the room and you have to rezip your fly and go back to HDR or SL and find a new Chica.

Negotiate every detail you can think of to avoid conflict. This is why its so important to t.a.k.e y.o.u.r t.i.m.e.
