well i deleted my posts.
my reasons are as follows to any who care.
i no longer have any anger toward this woman/Ch*ld
as was pointed out evil was a bit of stretch in my case.
she never stole from me
she never received money from me
to the contrary she gave me gifts and brought me what i wanted while giving of herself freely.
i think she has a good heart ultimately. yes she lies. is that news?
while i do not approve of what she did to ray, i do not see the point in continued humiliation.
ray if you feel the need i understand. your story is different and is much more than you related, i get your anger.
she used you and ultimately that was to get to me. you know i am sorry
but it is time to move on for me.
any who wanted to read the tale read it. you wrote under her picture to read my story. write your own brother.
i'm done. those who know me will understand those who do not will judge me.
it really doesn't matter to tell the truth. i will forgive and move on. will i see her again? probably. will i trust her? never did.
ymmv. enjoy gents. and thanks for you words or wisdom
i'll take it from here. wiser for the time.

LaDiablo,

I am sorry for your pain and the experience that you went through and I thought that your posts were poignant and important for the board to have had posted. It disappoints me greatly that you deleted your posts as now you have made the follow on postings obsolete. IMHO, you have done a disservice to this board and you should go back and revive the posts as best as possible to assist the newbies and those that could follow in your footsteps. Please remember, this board is about all its members and not just you.

Have a Great Day,

Dave

I agree, 4 threads to tell the story then go back and delete the whole thing?

LaDiablo,
Many thanks for your heart rending stories and I'm sure you brought a special insight to the hundreds of CRTers who read about your experiences, sympathized with your predicament, and posted some personal ithoughts as well....
If you do not have a copy of your initial posts, hopefully Admin has a system backup in place to reproduce such a valuable thread... Maybe a short PM to him can help get that started...

i respect your opinions but i do not wish to have my posts reposted.
i shared a story that when i looked at it in retrospect had very little to do with me other than a passive involvement.
the damage was not done to me and i come from a live and let live background.
while i respect the needs of the brothers here. i shared. i told my side of what happened. if someone should wish to hear it pm and i'll call you.
but a week after the event i just realized she was doing what comes naturally to ticas...not that it's right or justified. its just that way in CR. and she never did it to me. so what am i pissed about?
i couldn't answer that. and then i read under her pic that everyone should read my post. ultimately the girl needs to or chooses to work.
shes a decent person imo. doing what all the girls would do given the opportunity. my advice? don't give them the opportunity. i didn't.
and i think what she did to ray is messed up, but it doesn't equal infamy on the board for all mongers forever.
at least thats how i see it. free country. sorry to disappoint some of you but walk a mile in mine.

The story will be back within a month Paco. Only the names will be different. It comes up on average about once a month. Ill bet if someone peruses the old posts it will prove true... In a nutshell, someone tries to date and domesticate a hooker. She, being cunning and doing her job, gets over on the guy... All novio guys rally around.. Many posts, gnashing of teeth, closure, etc...... And on and on....

Yeah - it is probably best to let this saga die.

We all know going into this game that we can fall for the chica and that in that process she will gain significant power over us. We know that she will use that power. It is a risk everyone takes.

This thread and the many like it in the past and the many more to come paint a clear picture.

Are we related TW? You sound like me or I sound like you! No, wait maybe it's simply good observation and, of course, the collective wisdom of many over a long period of time.

"Crook"..... we "may" all know.... but we all don't use common sense and take heed. Right now there are "x" number of CRT members driving that SUV right down the road of "hooker noviadom" to personal misery. Naturally, that's their choice and naturally, CRT member or not, I have little sympathy for their plight. This stuff "ain't" rocket science.

It "isn't all about the money". It's all about using one's frickin' brain!

TW and Berk....

Sadly, I must agree. While LA Diablo's story is unique because he is unique, and because his story is told differently than others have told similar stories, I fear that we'll see this telenovella produced again and again.

As long as we have hearts and hope, some of us will make the mistake of confusing a "girlfriend fantasy experience" with a real courtship.

The mirror is definitely a bitch. We'd like to think that we're all young lions, handsome, rich, dashing, and irresistable. And what a coup! Whoremonger takes whore and makes her love him, despite all her contacts with other men. What a triumph if we were able to succeed! Wooing a woman (in many cases) half our age, from a completely different culture, different social mindset, different generation and economic circumstances.

Sadly, that mirror should be telling us: "Without the cash, you're too damn old/ugly/gringo to win even a poor girl with a sixth-grade education.



But it is as it is. Still, we believe. For some of us, the illusion is part of the fun, but to others...

Ya know.....it is kinda funny you say this, as when I was typing that post, I thought about saying that we don't necessarily need all these stories of love gone bad if your 'smell the coffee' thread were a sticky. Then I thought those who disagree would get pissed.

Like the initial post or not, that thread as a whole is a good read to warn/remind many members.

NO STICKY on "smell the coffee"! What should be a "sticky" is a collection of all the experiences like the one this thread revolves around. It should be required reading and a quiz given at the end before one could join up as a VIP. That way, when the "twister" hits and hits hard one can't claim ignorance for not getting into the storm shelter!

I think it is bad manners to delete a post after many people have responded.
I don't know why Admin doesn't disable this feature.

\

you're right. it is. that's why i apologized.

Yes, but you did nothing to correct the situation. At least have the decency to go back and overall summarize so the posters don't feel so foolish. What is the harm?? Someone might learn from it!!! IMHO, it is your life but getting rid of your postings was not a good day for decision making for you.

Have a Great Day,

Dave
