Thanks for the heads up!!!!! I actually read the posts and followed the advice "don’t send them nickel"

I understand from a very good source the barmaids at the DR are the worst ones for RFMs to the newbies. They find out he's new in CR and after milking him like a stripper for drinks (shots) at the DR bars, they might go back to his hotel room if they think he has some $$. Once he's convinced that she's in love with him, the RFMs start.

They seem to see it as a status symbol based upon how many gringos they have on the hook sending them $$. Even after all that I have seen in CR, I admit I was shocked when I was told recently that one guy bought her a new bed ($2,800) for her house, another guy bought her a wide screen TV, another guy sent her $800 for her baby's school and yet another guy gave her $300+ to pay her cell phone bill that allows her to keep in constant contact with all the guys while they are back in the US. She said that most all of the guys bought her clothes at Multi-plaza before they left town. As a barmaid at the DR, she can typically make $2,000 per month just tending bar, so it's not that she needs it, but that she wants it. She was upset that guys had bought some of the other girls a car and that she had not yet been able to convince a guy to do that, but she's only been at it for a few months - so far.

What I was speaking of is how I was shocked at the competitive mercenary approach the barmaids at DR seem to have adopted to preying on newbies. Their RFMs seem to be more as competition with each other than any real need. Apparently they openly discuss the guys they have on the string and compare notes about the guys while holding them in contempt. It seems every bit as money grubbing bitchy as the worst of the gringas we know in the US.

Azsunnydaze, seeing that we saved you a bundle of dinero you ought to pony up and become a lifetime member.
