Here is a shortened version of what I wrote:
It depends on how you like to operate and your level of communicating. If you want to hit the massage parlors and like to shoot fish in a barrel then you will have plenty to choose from but you might think the talent pool has dwindled. For me I got away from the MP's but I would occasionally stick my head in and see if anything caught my eye. If you speak spanish and are not afraid to approach woman tactfully outside of the gulch you will find that it is a target rich enviroment. If you can dance salsa, cumbia, merengue, and bachata you have nothing to worry about. I did many solo trips and enjoyed venturing outside of the gulch frequently. I even got to the point where I would keep 2 hotel rooms, one in the gulch for the working girls and one outside of it so I could take the non working ladies that I would pick up outside of the gulch. Some of the areas I would frequent were the Malls, Clubs like Jazz Cafe and Castros, basically any woman that gave even the slightest hint of interest that I thought was attractive was talked to and I would either ask her out to go dancing or meet for lunch. Since I had taken spanish classes in San Jose I would usually tell them I was there going to school and let that open the door for me.
Thanks for the feedback....Obviously not in the same league as you. Speak some espanol, but by no means conversational. Perhaps I should stick to MDE as the quality is ALWAYS there! Just need to figure out a way to find more than 4 days to go. 14 hours in travel both directions, with late arrivals on both ends, just kills me for a 4 day trip. However SJO can be done in about 8 with a noon arrival which makes day 1 seem like an extra day. I posted the same message to the VIP site because many know me and know what I like.
