My tactic is too introduce myself,then I then jump to saying, is ochenta esta bein? Most always say yes. I thinks its my pearly whites(teeth) . Im joking but Im 28 in good shape and women pick what they want also.

I only pull one chick a day from DR/KL, I usually spend my time at ZB,Idem, and SL girls.

Never ask a price throw your price out there. Talk nicely, stare and smile at them when quoting a price. I move on to the next chick if they say no.

Also I only go for all natural chicks. I hate silicone. I heard the CEIN rebound many times but I always got my price for no more than $80 and never no tip.

Hola B and GR good posts/advice. If people know about this board and take the time to study/evaluate posts Newbies are pretty well prepared. I always ask what there price is, then quote them mine(i usualy tip). If they say $100, i counter with $80 see what kind of reaction i get and go from there. If $80 i offer 70 etc. We all know that there are $100 girls in CR,but most are in the 60-80 range.I think the big problem is many non experienced men(p4p) come down and cave in to the chicas, then complain about looks and price.

There certainly are many forms of cheap entertainment in CR & other Latina destinations. One I enjoy is watching a newbie quivering with excitement that he can get more than he ever thought at least as long as he brought enough $$$.

This network bit is the way to go if you repeat frequently but it can have its draw backs like anything else. It becomes work to stay in touch & fend off the RFMs. The good thing with your network is you know you have added so many doable options that let you kick back & relax. Dealing from strength shows & the Chicas can sense you are not easy pray. They will be less likely to ask for too much if they have half a brain.

What is funny I have never met or seen a man that lives in CR ever act anxious over getting laid with a Chica. They just have too many options & spend each load wisely. This is not what we see from the newbies that are all a quiver being use to the Gringa domain they are accustomed to !

One thing we can't argue about is that we are all lucky men rich or poor, handsome or ugly, old or young that we have lived this & tasted a different way of being. It is very worth a mans time to explore !

The vast majority of guys on any given night pay whatever the chica asks. Many have been to the DR before. They haven't even heard of CRT. There are also CRT guys that pay cien and are highly experienced. They don't like to haggle over cost as it kills the mood.

This is a horse that has been beat so many times there is no horse left to beat. It is probably the #1 topic as far as posts go on this board.

It's a free market. Pay whatever you want. It doesn't effect me cause I never pay cien as it is now. Nine times out of ten I think with the big head now after so many trips that the bartenders know my name.

You gotta speak some Spanish. It goes a long, long way.Have I paid cien without batting an eye? Yep. first couple of trips. Would I pay cien again? Yep... only for Paula the hot Medellin chica also known as Mrs. Handy #2 or was it #3. She's history though so I don't have to worry.

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

interesting responses. I should say I am far from a newbie with well beyond 50 trips to CR and family here as well.I am also fluent in spanish. I just personally find it a turn off I guess. To each is own. But when the 3's are saying 100 and not budging its bad. I shouldn't say none of them budge but it defintely requires a lot of screening each girl. Maybe thats a thrill for some but just becomes annoying to me.
I would agree on a network of girls as the best bet. I just don't put forth that kind of effort. Laziness on my part.
Luckily I will say ZB has defenitely booked some talented girls. I had a so-so experience earlier in the week but I went right before closing so the girl coulda been tired. I went twice since starting this post and I feel I am completely done with the DR. As evidenced to the fact my group is there now and I am sitting in the hotel.

A popular topic indeed and there's always someone saying the sky is falling at the HDR, but I guess the complaint here is the low-end chicas are now asking 100. There's so many variables that come into play concerning what somebody pays there can never be any one price fits all at the HDR. The big factor affecting prices is the influx of big spenders finding out about CR and simply paying the first price quoted to them, not much we can do about that.
Nobody says it but we all know younger, good looking guys pay less. Some of us are on a budget and others have plenty to carelessly throw around. Some just don't like to haggle over price and consider 100 a fair price. Reading F-boy's post above I'd peg him as an LAL guy and much less likely to care about doing any legwork to obtain a GFE which in itself can result in lower prices and a network of regulars. There are many strategies we can use to level the playing field but it does require time, effort, developing one's own style and maintaining loose relationships with those few fair priced, good performers we may find.
Looking at my bottom line- since 4 years ago I'd say my average price paid for HDR chicas has risen 10.00 -15.00 or roughly 20% and during that time and the colon has devalued roughly 60% so aren't I still getting a bargain? Of course the MP's have had several price increases during that time and that detailed info might be interesting to look at for comparison if somebody wanted to research it.
Like Berk said it is a free market and there will always be bargains, it may just take more work to find them. If the extra effort turns you off pay the price or go to the MP's and leave the thrill of the hunt to us that enjoy it.

Personally I like the independent scene much better than the MP's. But like you say, if a guy doesnt want to deal with those girls, there's so many MP's it doesn't matter.

I found that a lot of the low end chicks at the DR didn't really even talk to me. I got a sense that they thought I might be stuck up, or that they knew there was no way I was going to talk to them to begin with. (in a P4P way)

I find it to be an independent scene for us as well. It's my feeling that chicas can sense if your someone who carries themselves confidently and if they take a genuine liking to you, they of course would like to go with a guy for a good time too. Yes, they are working, but even they get bored of screwing gringos out of time and the hussle and bussle of getting back.

I might be in the minority when I say I like the DR/KL better but it's all about what you are looking for...

I have a suggestion about negotiating rates with the chicas at the DR and KL. I am always surprised at how some experienced members recommend that we should counter a "cien" offer by a chica with $80. Then they tell us how they were able to get the chica for the $80 price. Well,I believe that one should NEVER counter $100 with $80. I always counter with $50 and if a deal is struck it is always between $50-70 for more than an hour. Think of the negotiations like you would buy a car.If you go into a dealer and he quotes you $28,000 would you make your first offer $27,500 and think you really did well when he says OK. It's not hard to figure out that if your initial offer is $27,500 it's unlikely that you will wind up paying $25,000. DUH............

All the 'cien' talk relates to those whose world begins at the Del Rey and ends maybe as far away as the Key Largo. I can't deny the fun of those places, but to quote a friend, 'think outside the gulch.' If you haven't seen what less than 50 will get you at the New Fantasy or Bar Monaco, if you haven't seen what less than 20 will get you at the Molino Rojo, then your perspective is lacking. I have seen tons of guys taking girls from the DR that are no better than the 16 dollar girls at the Molino Rojo. It's pretty safe to say they paid more than 16 dollars.

The 'on site' places may not appeal to some. But the point is that the whole 'cien' bit only applies to two places (clipjoint stripjoints excluded). And what has been said above also applies. If that's your scene and you're stickin' to it, eventually you will probably develop the technique of choosing and negotiating. You can benefit by reading about it, but it takes experience to make it work.

I think this is a great way to look at it. It kinda sucks that we make the chicas a "commodity," but it is what it is and that won't change. 4 years ago I could fill up my gas tank for $30, now it's $50. Commodities. Costa Rica, contrary to popular belief is not a "cheap" place to live. I'm not defending the cien chicas but it is a free market and if they can get it more power to them. Now that the money flow has started from North American and Europe their is no way to "put it in reverse." So, the choices are...(drum roll, please) deal with it in the way you see fit or stay home.

As for domestic vs. foreign hobbying..yes, CR is definately getting close to pricing itself out of the market when doing a real financial analysis of the hobby. This topic has also been discussed ad nauseum so, I won't go there. But, as someone says "think outside the gulch."

Cien??? Some gringos feel that if they pay more they get more. Some feel it is insulting to a chica to offer her less than she is asking.
My 48 years of experience in this game says there is little relationship between performance and price, however there is a fair relationship between looks and price.
I have never had trouble matching price and pocketbook for the right chica. I have gone from a quickie at the Oasis to a TLN with a TOM.
If CR truly becomes more expensive than the US I'll still chase the ticas. There is something truly beautiful about the country and it's women that I cannot resist.

I have to throw my thoughts in here too...I agree that we have to keep mentioning to the new guys to stop paying $100 (and more) so quickly.

My only issue is that it always seems to be the topic of the day. Remember, I believe it needs to be in everyone's mind to NOT pay $100 but I did a quick search on the word "cien" and sorted in Ascending order and the first post I found was a post by Ruffnutz saying the following. This a quote from Dec 8th 2004.



The way I see it, if my 401K didn't change since 2004, I would be totally pissed off...since what I spend for a little latin loving hasn't changed....why complain so much. In fact, I will never forget that the exchange rate then was 365:1 Today, I believe it was around 517:1

I first stepped into the Delrey in 2000 and gave Sandra (You all know her...4 tattoos on her neck for her 4 Ch*ldren....use to live in Guadalupe) 30,000 colones for a great time...At that time, I had NO IDEA what I was spending but that is what she asked for, so I gave it too her. She could of asked me for my wedding ring and I would of given it to her. Last time down, I think I gave $80 to a muy caliente chica who was 20 years old (hot body without 4 Ch*ldren's tattoos on her neck)...and she threw an entire bottle of that "Free" Hotel Delrey lotion on my back while massaging me. Keep in mind that in 5 years, I got fatter and grew a shitload more hair on my back so I feel I am getting the better end of the deal.

If we are still complaining about $100 in 6 more years, I don't see a problem.

By the way, I have to throw one more of Ruffnutz quote here just because I was reading it. Some things never change.



The only change now is that they order Patron at $8-$10 a pop...That Has changed.

Again, just my 2 cents..
