I never had any problems with Costa Ricans, when they see my 26 y/o favorita with me, they know the score, and when we go out, she wears normal clothes.
I think locals don't like seeing a ho with a skirt up her arse and her boobs bursting out, a pound of make up and 6 inch stilettos with a staggering wheezing geezer.
When I lived in Florida, my last years I was in the habit of developing and training and maintaining "sugar Babi*s".
One Puerto Rican hottie I had, we went to a Cuban restaurant often, and we had a favorite waitress, an older Cuban lady. She would order in perfect Spanish and I would stumble through my basic Spanish for fun, they all spoke perfect English.
One time right after our meal, she insisted going outside to have a cigarette. Our waitress came with the check, she knew us well, and inquired as to her whereabouts.
Disgusted...I said "she has to have her damn cigarette after eating!" to which she replied, "I know, my daughters smoke, too, in spite of everything I told them".
Then she seemed surprised, she said "I would have thought her mother would have taught you better Spanish, she speaks it perfectly!"
Haha, all this time she was thinking she was my daughter...
Why tell her the truth and ruin a good waitress who loves to see us...?
I said nothing, maybe I mumbled some excuse about me "always working" and not having time, lol...
