I have done it. It didn't work for me and caused all the shit chimlikemike said.

My advice is no.

Yet it is your money. Shit give it all to the poor and follow Jesus and you will never have to ask anybody this question again.

Just say no. :lol:

LocoHombre · **Posted:** Tue Apr 22, 2008 11:20 am

say no, they WILL find somebody else to send it.......I will admit, i fell in the trap, and believe it or not, the sex is worse, much like a wife....there is nothing left to work for....make them earn it one lick at a time :evil:

On my last trip to CR, I met a sweet Colombiana (girl next door type). Repeated sessions with her and then blew her off my last night so I could party with the boys :wink:

I exchanged e-mail addresses with her and we have been corresponding back and forth over the past couple of months (in the back of my mind I was always wondering when I was going to get the RFM).

I just recently received the following e-mail and ran it through the spanish-to-english translator (those words inside the asterisks did not translate from spanish-to-english). I guess my question about when I would get the RFM has now been answered :oops:

.

"hello my love as these I write you for *contarte* that I am very sad because the senora where work very bad is *humorada* and is dificl very to work as *estan* paying me per day and now I do not have all the money to pay to the rent of them $50 house and very am worried and single I need dolares if me you can lend *agradecere* when you arrive I give back them gives to much pain *decirtelo* me but I do not want to return to the single hotel I want to be with you kisses thanks I want to you."

While $50 bucks is certainly not going to make much of a difference to me or anybody else in this forum, I am just wondering if anything good could come out sending the money? Do any of you guys really believe this one could be different?

So, if I wanted to send this chica the money she has requested how would I go about it (since I don't even know her last name)? Or would somebody please just slap me upside the head and shake me from this "save-a-ho" moment?

Let the flaming begin :twisted:

!

You made the first mistake already (by keeping in touch with her). I speak their language fluently (I'm Cuban by birth) and I never had any conversation with any of them that I could say it was interesting.
You put yourself in the position you're in, so go ahead and send the money, a second mistake is not really a big deal.
As for the guys telling you not to send the money, that's easy for them to say as they are hardened mongers, but don't envy them, you'll be part of that growing gang sooner than you think! :twisted:

I would go ahead and send $300 since that is the usual amount. Don't want her to feel inferior by only getting $50.

Id she were a conspiring chica, she might want to keep the opening bid low, so it is no big deal. Then she has the pathway open for bigger requests and more troubled stories, that you have no way of checking. Soon, you are pot committed.

Tell her you are so sad to hear that things are bad there. Things are bad everywhere....

My dad had a line he loved to deliver to vagrants who asked him for money....for those of you who live in the city, you pretty well know a mile away when someone is approaching you with a sob story that they lost their wallet and just need $2 to catch the bus - or that they really do have a good job but live 100 miles away and forgot to bring money/lost the wallet, etc. and want a few $ for gas but they PROMISE to pay you back right away...

Anyway, as these street cons approached him, he'd walk towards them, and as soon as they delivered their request (say for 2 bucks, he'd say "I was just going to ask you for $4!) The looks he got were priceless.

I think that is the best way to answer a chica RFM....

"Oh honey, I miss you so much, and I'm sorry your mom needs the $300 cancer cure, or you are getting evicted, or you don't have enough milk for the bebe......

....but I just wrecked my car, I steeped in a deep rut in the street (you KNOW she'll indentify with the deep ruts in the street - she probably lost more than a few family members that way in SJ) and broke my foot since I had to walk to work, then I got fired for missing work and since I couldn't walk, my wife took all my money and ran out of the house, now I'm getting evicted because I can't pay the rent and ol Circus took the cardboard box that my fridge came in (for his new condo project in JAX) that I was saving for just such a run of bad luck...

.....but if you send me $300 I can get my car fixed, get the operation I need on my foot, and then buy a new cardboard box to live in outside the coin-op porn arcade and give blowjobs for money until I can save up enough to get back to Costa Rica, at which time I will pay you back for the loan, and we can live happily ever after....please my love?"

BTW... What is she is truly enterprising? I bet she emailed her ENTIRE list of gringos, begging each one for $50, in hopes of collecting a total of $300.

Did you notice a list of other guys in the TO: field? Maybe try a Reply All and see how many names popup?

Was in a Wally World parking lot a couple of years back. An older guy comes up and say he needs a couple of bucks for a hamburger at McDonalds inside Wally World. I said no. I watch him hit up some older lady and she hands him money. I follow him inside (I was headed that way) and figured he was going to the beer section. Nope... not a chance. He didn't get anywhere near McDonalds. He bought DOG FOOD.

Since then I have spotted him giving lectures to HDR chicas on how to extract $$$ from gringos. :lol:

This FRM thing got me thinking. I have a friend who has money and used to tell me that if I ever needed money, he would be there for me. There were two times when I had to ask (it was not a lot, just $500 and 1,500) and believe me, it wasn't easy for me. Both times I had to buy a cashier's check and send them by mail in order to pay him back because he wouldn't accept the money. What a friend!
Now we have this woman (these women) who barely knows you (us) asking to borrow money. Are those the kind of person we want to keep in touch with? Not me, and not because of the money but the principles.
