Do I really need to answer this question AGAIN???


BashfulDwarf,
Don't try to beat you on probability theory???? I had no idea that Probability Theory was your "field". I am a big man who is not too proud to admit when I am wrong. I would like to formally apologize to you for calling your informed, educated, sage advice into question. And I also apologize to the 20,000+ CRT Members for the statements that I have made on this thread. It has now become abundantly clear that I was a total ass-hat who was out of his league, and I hope you can accept my apology.

BD - Please know, that from this point forward, any new member who has any chica questions that are in regards to analytical, statistical or theoretical probability, I will be sure to point them in your direction. I am humbled and embarrassed by my comments to you, and once again - please accept my apology. And as a show of respect, I will back away from this thread so you can carry on and continue to advise newbies of the highs and lows of everything that is Costa Rica.

I miss the good old days, when picking up a chica in SJO was much easier and we didn't have to worry about silly little things like quantum physics...

Regretfully,
Mucho Gusto, a.k.a. AssHat Of The Day

I formally nominate this Mucho Gusto classic as the funniest post of the year. No, make that funniest post of the decade.


Any seconds ???

I remember when I used to frequent a Mamasan's casa out near the Embassy just a couple years before the gulch was the gulch. A tico who worked with me at the same company turned me on to her. Largely Tico customers from what I could tell. It wasn't a brothel, more like a showcase of what she could provide for take out for a day, a night, to the beach, etc. She always had a few young ones she was pushing and she wasn't hiding they were young. More like boasting. But, it was obvious anyway, they were like 15-17. And very willing.

I don't know if Mamasans like her are still around SJ. Probably. I never been to an MP, high or low end, nothing against users. But it's Mamasans and I'd guess, not sure, low end Tico MP's or whatever they'd be labeled especially out in the hoods, that would worry me about age issues.

I think you may be overthinking your moves a little. And you're looking for answers to every little thing when in reality alot of the answers are very fluid, very dynamic, changing week to week, and different for everyone. You'll learn your answers your own way, sometimes the hardway. Can't be spoon fed. And it's not that complicated to have fun and be safe in SJ. Every trip you make you will make a mistake or two, no matter how many times you come. There isn't a player here who has not, guaranteed, even guys who play it every day for years. The trick is not to make the big one putting yourself at risk, personally and/or financially of course, but to me, doing something that is a complete waste of time. To me that is the biggest mistake that frustrated me. Like, what a frigging dope I was for trying it that way. Time in CR flys buy. Every moment is precious. Can't waste it on a wild goose chase unless you like that stuff.

To me the goal of knowing SJ and how to play it is of course not to get hurt or burned too bad anyway, but how to do it your way at the best rates w/ the least hassle so you can say man that was a great time. Hotel was good, girls were great, food was OK, doctor and dentist were cheap, side trips were awesome, didn't pay an arm and a leg, nothing was a real nerve wracker or a big hassle. I knew just what I wanted to do, did it the way I wanted with whom I wanted or found a new one that fit the bill and did everything in comfort. Yaaa, that's it for me. You ain't going get there your first few trips. But you got a good start. You'll make more and more friends, your book will be full with people you enjoy and vice versa and if you come down enough, you'll spread your wings and not be totally gulch dependent. I've been 4 times this year and I didn't see the gulch, though I wanted to. It's alot of fun even if you don't get exactly what you want. I just am set up where I have more fun doing it another way. Not better then the guys who stay in the gulch. Just I get a bigger kick doing what I do. But that took a long time and many times returning home pissed off.

Keep posting, guys have enjoyed your enthusiasm I'm sure. if you have a q that you're worried about, send a pm to members who you think know their stuff. If you did catch a flame, remember, everybody has. Roll with it.

LMFAO + 2, It's amazing, never met Pucho Dusto, but he sounds like a real a-hat.

oh MG, now you've gone and made me blush. And all over Allexx's thread at that. Shame on you, naughty boy.
I would not make the assumption that your advice is not to be listened to. But I've read your other posts, and I think you could have done much better than the common sense and street skills thing.
We need to know the truth about the scene, both past and present. If you guys feel that this subject is a very real occurance day in and out, then tell us. Likewise if it's more a danger of the past (though it never truly goes away) then let us in on that as well.
Sometimes your advice makes sense to you, but doesn't fit within the context of the question asked. I don't want you guys to develop into the "well then don't ask my advice in the future" kind of mindset. There are times when we newbies can't understand why you answer they way you do, and what we need is an idea of why the advice evolved as such.
Let me give an example: many threads on the board go back and forth about what clothes to wear (or not wear). I got a PM from a voice I trust that said not to wear shorts. That statement alone doesn't seem to jive with what else I have heard. But then the voice went on to explain the environment and the culture, and suddenly I got it. Lo and behold, when I got there I saw that the voice was right, and no men were wearing shorts.
So, maybe I should just have accepted the voice's first statement without the backstory. And maybe I should have just accepted your common sense statement too. But I saw the scene for a tiny fragment of time, and I was always mindful of the age thing. I at no time ever saw any girl that I felt was at issue, and believe me, I wandered quite a bit. So I questioned the advice given, because I wanted to know what I'd missed. A PM filled me in. And finally LA's post gives a glimpse into the history.
Listen, I will always question advice I don't understand, or that challenges what I experienced. It's not disrespect, it's someone asking for more information. And I will always state to a fellow poster what I saw and experienced in my little travel time, but I will refrain from making any summary statements or judgement decisions.
And one more thing, I will tone down the sarcasm to respectful levels if you will stop the balloon-text brow-beating that you so ably dished out. Can that be a workable solution for us?
Regardless, I do respect you and your advice. 'Nuff said.

Bashful here is some advice I think you should heed; speak less and listen more.

DING DING DING. We have a winner here!

I don't want to step into anyone's shit here ....
But as a newbie myself, I don't agree that anyone should brow-beat a newbie and say "shut up little one, the grown ups are talking".
Especially when the grown ups then proceed to clam up because they don't want to dig up the skeletons in their closet.
I respect that, and don't purport that anyone is obligated to share. But it's not up to you to decide that a newbie should "fend for himself" or use common sense. If he wanted to do that, he wouldn't have bothered to post the thread in the first place. As veterans, you have a distinct advantage over all of us - you know what the f*ck you're talking about.
The function of this forum is not for the vets to sit around and bullshit about the good 'ole days that blend into private jokes, but for the newbies like me and allexx, and first-timers like Bashful, to ask questions, get advice, and essentially experience CR safely.
If I can leave with any parting words, let it be simply this: You were ALL newbies once.

Respectfully,

Listen. Many posters have given great advice in this thread. What pisses off people is when someone with one trip acts like they know everything. So yes, many posters will treat them as a Ch*ld because that is how a Ch*ld acts.

Now to summarize about the original topic. First, yes there has been and probably are under age chicas working in the hotels. It is not the hotel's responsibility to protect you; you must protect yourself!

Here is a little story to demonstrate the issue. A couple years ago I am at the Rey with my favorite. A chica who I was friendly with who went with a friend comes over and we all chat a bit. On a following trip my fav says your friend got banned. I inquire as to why and she informs me she was only 16. She got nabbed using a relatives ID. Supposedly she even had her own ID on her at the time. In March I run into the chica and she laughs and says I know too much. She is now legal to work but 2 years ago she was working and had no trouble getting into all the hotels. Had any guy had been caught with her their life as they know it will be totally phucked.

The point is there has been, there are and there always will be under age chicas sneaking in to work. It is your responsibility to take precautions as to not go with an under age chica. You must use common sense and good judgement. All of this has been said but nobody wants to listen. Card the chica, ask questions and if you still have doubt bail on the situation. There are plenty of other chicas.

You think I could have done much better with my advice? I'm very sorry to disappoint you. But when all else fails, the bottom line is that - your "gut instinct" is ALWAYS your last line of defense!!!

If you think that there might even be a 1% chance that she's not of legal age - but then you dismiss this thought simply because she got past the front desk employee (or the security guard), but then you STILL continue with your course of action with her while disregarding your initial instinct... then you simply deserve what you get! And I have no sympathy whatsoever for guys who sleep with underaqe girls! So if you think I could have done better with my advice, then disregard everything I've written and roll the dice!

You've asked a lot of questions about historical events in SJO, and how things have changed over the years, so please let me enlighten you for a moment. CRT has always been (or it used to be anyways) a "Gentleman's Board". And I've been fortunate to have met some of the finest gentlemen through this board, and at many of the past CRT sponsored events. Some of these men I consider very dear friends. Some of us have stayed at each others' homes, and met each others' families. And many of us have traveled to various locales ALL OVER THE WORLD together over the past several years. The experience that we have, and the knowledge and wisdom that we've acquired does not happen after one trip to San Jose Costa Rica! We were all newbies once, and we used to be much more humble.

You have been asking soooo many questions about the scene in SJO, that I am starting to wonder if you really DO have an agenda. It almost seems like you feel that you are "entitled" to getting information from members, or that you're "entitled" to get specific and detailed advice about every little thing, or that you're "entitled" to know about the history and evolution of the scene in SJO. You come onto this board, GUNS BLAZING, talking about anything and everything, asking for information, asking for advice, etc. And you have gotten what you've asked for. But for some reason, you have a sarcastic, almost arrogant tone in your postings. To date, over 600 people have viewed this thread, and there are more than 50 replies from members, giving you the advice and information you seek.

The members of this board post information to try to help others. Many of us have been there, done that. And we post advice and information as a courtesy, NOT OUT OF OBLIGATION ! But I want to make something crystal clear to you. You may ask a lot of questions, and you may feel like you're "entitled" to information or answers, but you need to understand this first and foremost:

NOBODY OWES ANYBODY A PHUCKING THING !

I'll give you a nickel's worth of advice, then I'm done with you. And this advice can be for other new members as well. Take a step back, breath in and out 10 times and listen. Lose the snarky tone and know-it-all attitude, and members will be more apt to "help" you with questions to your answers. If you want to have a battle of wits with some of the vets, you better be armed. Rome wasn't built in a day. LISTEN to what the members have told you. Read the board. Do your homework. Nobody is going to spoon feed you. We've all been through the fires and we've taken our lumps. That goes with the territory. Take one trip at a time and take things one day at a time. Don't think you're going to learn everything you need to know overnight. You're gonna make mistakes. You're gonna get beat up. You're gonna take some lumps. But you'll come away with experiences that you could never learn on an internet forum.

In closing, I do apologize for MY tone towards you. Call it "tough love" if you will, but you hit a vein and I've never been one to back down to anyone. I think you can see, based on the time and energy I've spent on my rebuttals to you, that - if I didn't care about the "brotherhood", I never would have responded in the first place.

Enjoy this new hobby that you've embarked on, and good luck wherever life's roads may lead you.

Respectfully,
Mucho Gusto

So what's the proper time frame, then? Just so I know. Two trips? Five trips? Ten?

How much time does one have to spend in CR before they're given the golden stick of speech and allowed to have an opinion?

I don't give a shit if they've gone just once or not at all. If someone bothers to spend the time writing trip reports and commenting on threads and asking questions in order to incite an in-depth conversation which will provide insight to all others who read the posts, good on 'em.

'Cause no one else who has gone twice, five, ten times gives half of his time to this forum to help newbies get their feet wet.

And on a side note, if you bother to read any of his 216 posts, you'd see that a majority of them are inquisitive, not advisory.

All of you should sit down and shut up for once. 'Cause you're not benefiting this board anymore.

Ok,


I try my best to not even post anymore because of the idiocy I keep reading on here, but I will have to chime in on this. I can agree that just because you have only been in CR once does not mean you do not have a valid opinion on YOUR trip and what YOU did. But you have to also try to listen to advice from others who have been there before.

In my fourteen years living in CR I have come across a lot of guys who "think" they know what's what because they have a little time under their belt. This is usually a person's downfall when it comes to Costa Rica. I always suggest listening to the guys who have made lots of trips to CR and to other countries before deciding that they are wrong. You may not like the way they say it, but in the end most of the guys are giving you good advice. There may be an undertone of sarcasm or ridicule, but we are men(excluding the few female members of course and some questionable guys) talking about men's things.

Most of these guys are old enough to be my father and they at least try to listen to me because I am the Costa Rica OG. Just as I listen to them because they are older and most have been around the block a few more times than me. So pull your skirts up grab your sacks and let's move on to another thread.



the DR

<-----OG'n all the haters.......

Please post but don't be a pompous douche who thinks they know everything after spending a few days in Costa Rica. If you come off as genuine the posters here will go out of their way to help you; if not..fly Icarus fly...
