I'm with you, I too thought the girls put up profiles on dating
sites so gringos can Phuck them and then boot them. But seems they may actually be looking for relationships. There's always a catch!

For those looking looking to join the "5 F's Club" - you know:
Find 'em
Feel 'em
Finger 'em
Phuck 'em
Forget 'em
I'll dispense with the 8th grade "humor" and get a tad serious - I have no respect for guys that go on a web site and pretend to be sincerely looking for a long term relationship but in reality just looking to f.u.c.k.
Many of these guys convince themselves that they would never pay for it, but have no compunction about lying and misrepresenting themselves (please.....I'm no Captain Save a ho - I'm talking about guys who are BS-ing a "straight" girl, just looking for sex. I'll also assume that the "Tica" reference in this thread was made regarding meeting Costa Rican girls, and not whores).
Not every girl is going to rush to jump into bed with you while you are down for a weeks vacation - and while this is another one of those subjects I get pushback from some on - looking to meet straight, normal girls - while not impossible - is difficult at best if you are older, don't speak Spanish, and generally don't have a clue.
If your goal is to Phuck - go with the pro's and learn to do a better job "interviewing them first" to have a better experience - you will likely spend less time and money in pursuit of the "impossible <wet> dream"
Before anyone posts back, with tales of their cocksmanship and pick up skills

- I did not say it can never happen - I just said its very difficult, and not worth the time and effort, especially in Costa Rica when other outlets are relatively cheap and very available.
