Newbies give everyone a laugh when seen with a big bouquet of flowers. Need i say more?
While at the DELREY; go to the bar by the main elevator about 6:00am. Very often you will see a newbie come in the door with a bunch of flowers. After ht get's on the elevator everyone from the bar maid to the security guys and customers all get a good laugh.

I agree in principle about buying flowers for the Chicas but a nice bouquet for, say, a hotel bartender or woman at a front desk who's done you a solid, can light up the day for her (I'm a hopeless romantic, it's true). You can find such at the florists market near the Post Office on Avenida Central.

Larger selection and closer to the gulch is the flower market on avenida segunda calle 9 y 11.

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."

Read La Nacion Society section and find yourself a wedding or two to attach yourself to--there you go. But seriously it's mostly men doing the flower selling. Sorry to disappoint.

I always have the opposite problems - chicas showing up at the hotel with flowers and presents for me!!! How embarassing (actually has happened more than once).

I am a fan of treating these girls like girls and flowers are appropriate on occaision - won't be the first or last time I am laughed at - although I don't think I would bring them to the Rey.

Peace, Love, and Happiness for all!

Ps. I am going to start a thread for reliable floral deliver companies so I can send flowers to my favoritas from the states.

I'm here most all the time. I'll deliver them for you.

You are toooo generous amigo!!!!

There already is one thread out there on which companies are best. Btw, the flower shop on Second Ave has a gringo price and a Tico price---big phucking shocker.

Spot on thread Versatile. I've seen that scenario many times. Guy with flowers, chicas cracking up!

Laughing on the outside...jealous on the inside.
My novia ALWAYS gets flowers and everytime my wingman brings a chica to the condo (4/day) they love seeing, smelling and touching the flowers. My wingman gets great sessions because of my flowers. The girls he brings home know we are good guys.
Last trip, went looking for my wingman about dark. Guy selling single roses outside HDR, I purchased one for my novia, HDR was packed, had to walk all the way thru the DR to find wingman with rose in hand. Every girl in the place watched me and many approached me and asked for the rose. I politely told them it was for my novia back at the Presidente but if she wasn't in the room when I returned I would come back for them.

I wouldn't buy flowers for a single sessions but for a novia they are worth every penny and then some.

Ok, Did, I miss something; the thread starts out recommending that guys should not give flowers to hookers and then by the end of the thread most of the posters are kind of recommending it????

Guys, if you want to give flowers to girls I suggest you learn a decent amount of Spanish (if I can learn it, anyone can), find non-pros outside the gulch and then on an appropriate occasion, give them flowers. I see giving prostitutes flowers as the first step on the slippery slope that results in RFMs, Prepaid Debit Cards, "would be" relationships and all that goes with it. Your rebuttal comments are welcome.

I think you did miss something. Guys have mentioned giving flowers to favorita/novia, not just random hookers they see for an hour. I don't see how doing something nice for somebody (i.e. giving flowers) leads to RFM's and debit cards. Yes, it's dumb giving flowers to a chica you just met, but when seeing a chica you've been with a lot, it would get you major points with her to give her some flowers. Women love flowers. And the fact that they are working girls shouldn't change that. I don't think flowers are only reserved for good, virginal, catholic girls.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't favorita/novia their favorite hooker?

The more you treat one of these P4P sweeties like a regular GF, the more they know that you can be manipulated. A girl outside the gulch does not imply she is a goodie-goodie Catholic school girl, but just someone who isn't a prostitute; i.e. it might take you a few dates to have sex with her. I known a few that were big time partiers and yet, even they would not go near the KL or the DR, even on a dare. If these guys would do that, the quality of their relationships would improve at least 100%.
