Tim...... don't feel bad. I have been there. Just the other day I was referred to as a racist. Based on nothing, of course. They just ran out, as you say, of ammo in the war of ideas!

FRUITCAKE... and you thought it was something you eat! Not on CRT!

dapanz1, if I may... just have to address this one and then I'm done.

Chi, Every Chica in CR has to pay her dues at the HDR, because there is no way in the world any Chica can afford to live in CR given the peanuts that they are paid in a normal job. Who are you trying to fool, man?

Sadly there are many a man on this board who can't believe what you wrote.

D2864,

THIS IS WHERE YOU ARE COMPLETELY WRONG. If you look at the stats, less than 1% of the entire female population of close to 2 million are prostitutes. No chica has to pay her dues in HDR. What are you smoking dude?

I hope you are kidding around..... (I think you are) but the HOTTEST pu*sy IN CR is not working to sell it. They are walking in the malls... working regular jobs... working in banks.... grocery stores... you name it.

I just finished a large seminar in SJ where the tents were filled with HOT pu*sy who WERE NOT HOOKERS. In fact, the last time I walked through the HDR I had to carry a vomit bag. The talent there sucks in comparision. The girls are fat, worked over, bored and just plain ugly sometimes.

CR has a WHOLE LOT more to offer than that...

Sorry Chi, when I said "Sadly there are many a man on this board who can't believe what you wrote" I meant that I could believe you, but many others based on the comments they've made on this board don't believe. They think 99% of every good looking Chica has done duty at the HDR.

Also notice the wink after "Who are you trying to fool, man?"

I guess I wasn't so clear.

Gottcha man! Anyway, I'm just amazed by the volume of guys on the board with the overwhelming misinformation on several points:

1. All women in CR are hookers. For example, a guy posted about negotiating with a checkout girl at the Automercado. What the hell??? You'd probably get thrown out of there on your ass.

2. If you are here longer term, hookers are your best option, because they make great girlfriends. Sheeshhh!!!! Of the 99% of the female population in CR that are not hookers, there is A LOT OF HOT pu*sy. Everyday, I see potential models.... and they are easier to pickup than gringas. (Geee!!! Imagine that!!!) All you need is some game and set of balls.

3. The HDR girls are the best looking girls in CR. Give me a break!!! On any given day, I would guess there might be 2 or 3 girls out of hundreds that I would even consider banging. If you go to a discotech outside of SJ, the percentage is WAY HIGHER. Try Frankie Go on a Friday night. I'd be willing to bet that 8 out of 10 girls are smoking HOT. And, none of them are hooking.

Absolutely agree with Chi on this one.... MAny, many hot chicas here that aren't and have never been working girls.... I would invite guys to mention that women have no choice in CR without prostitution in a group of non working chicas... See what the reaction is...

You're right man!!! I'm so tired of hearing the average chica sob story of how she can't make money anywhere else in CR. Hooking is her only option. She is only doing to pay her bills, tuition and school uniforms.

There is a very small percentage, of the already small percentage, of working girls that have no choice. They are the illegal immigrants from Nicaragua, and some of the imports from Colombia and the DR. A very small percentage of girls are forced into it by their families or have learned the trade from their mothers or just can't seem to put things together and need to make a buck. This is the exception.

The rest of them are just plain whores. They do it because they like it. They are lazy and it is a quick buck. They like the party lifestyle. They like drinking all night and sleeping all day. They have zero respect for themselves or others. If it is not nailed to the wall, they will steal it. They steal from eachother like its nothing.

And look at who is supporting their lifestyle. Its US!!!! And, look at the prices we are paying. No wonder why they get in it and can't get out. They are swimming in cash.

I know a girl who lives in Jaco. Some rich guy pays her $2,000 per day to sit on his boat and do coke. She doesn't even need to phuck him. Now, guess what she is addicted to????

I've had some friends in the business here over the years. I don't look down at any of them for being pros... I just like the girls better that are straight with me about it. I've been to quite a few chicas houses and seen their wardrobe. I've had many tell me they love the money. They know they could make it at a regular job, but not in the style they have become accustomed to... And that I respect.... They know what they are doing, what they want and don't have to make any excuses.... The problem I've found with non-working girls is that it takes so much work to matintain them....... 100 texts a day, constant phone calls and things seem to move very fast...... Some consider themselves a girlfriend way too soon....

Yep - agreed. Regular latinas can be high maintenance and fairly dramatic. But, people are people. Some are extreme one way or the other way. Hard to paint them all with the same brush.

My ex novia was a nightmare. A poor chica with no class. Rude as shit. Spoiled rotten by my money. Some nights - I had to sleep with one eye open. She was a constant pain in the ass.

My current novia is the opposite. She is mature and classy. Everyone loves her. She goes out of her way to help me out. Its a give and take relationship. She has a few querks, but in all, I guess I'm one lucky SOB.

I guess I should have clarified " hard to maintain". I didn't mean that in a bad way or a money way... It is just more their culture for the relationship to have such a huge importance... I have found in my personal experience that it is hard to have a casual relationship here. Seems to be all or nothing..... I think we must tend to be more reserved... The girl who cuts my hair recently told me that she thinks gringos are kind of cold.. She didn't say it in a mean way but it got me thinking.....

Yep again - She calls me frio all the time. Latinas certainly demand a lot of romance and everything else that goes with it. I also have heard her say that Americans are cold. That is their view of us.

I agree and disagree with the above two statements. Yes, there is some hardcore, man-eater, whores types in the bunch but IMHO that is the exception not the other way around like you are presenting.

The Hispanic community is very conservative when it comes to religion and sex. You could say we are anal-retentive when it comes to sex. No pun intended. For Latinas to make the jump from school-girl/working-mother to prostitute takes a lot of pressure and regrets. She knows that she can never be mami’s girls or daddy’s princess and her family will relegate her to a 4th or 5th status on their family structure. Way below any domestic help around. No matter how hard or how much money she brings in to the family or how long as it been since she sold herself, that mark will never be removed from their mind.

This is the reason why I believe that most are just push by circumstances into doing what they are doing. And yes, some after that will only use the money for clothes, drugs, etc. But their initial push and pressure will be from family economics and trying to feed themselves.

BTW – I only date Hispanic women, even here at the USA and yes, unless you are serious about the relationship, better to keep you to yourself if you are not or lie about it. Even when you date a Hispanic marry woman, she will expect a monogamous relationship from your part and 100% dedicated adoration to her, if you want to get inside those panties. My $.02.

I hear this all the time from the chicas and they don't mean it as an insult.Latin culture is just different(that's all there is to it)!

Yeah, now everytime I am interested in a chica, I feel like I have to be very careful and hold back....

Chi and Thirdworld - thanks for what I think is the real view of women in Costa Rica.... should be a sticky.
