As the never ending rolltide adventures got alot us of stirred up I couldnt help but think what was I like at 25. I was in the navy at the time and had did some mongering overseas but never in the states.

I noticed a few guys said they were in thier 20's and 30's. I also notice a younger crowd at the BM at that point in my life I was still enjoying conquest not knowing I was being hunted. my mongering started when I got tired of playing the game: Im with her but I want her shes with me til she gets a better deal of course it helped when I could afford to vacation without taking my networth down 50%

my question is what seems to a good age to start mongering?
does it take a dramatic experience; divorce, midlife crisis
or do we wish had mongered all along

Good question. Im sure there are many different reasons for many of us. For me, my first trip to CR was to relive some of my Navy days. After a 2 year relationship I found myself single and bored with the bar/club scene in the States. I missed the great times that I had in the Navy (two S. America tours) where I did some mongering, but more partying. Sometimes I P4P some times I did not, because of my being fluent in Spanish. So now at age 32, and about 4 years separated from my getting out of the military, I felt it was time to enjoy a vacation in a latin country. At first, I thought I would just go to some bars and clubs and find locals, but then I found this website, and realized that I could have a whole ADULT trip. So I figured why not.

I had a great time and Im already looking to return in January. So to answer your question, why...well for me its to relive some partying ways, while getting away from all the stress of the States. Mongering is a just adding gravy to my vacation.

Well, I have never paid (well in the literal sense, we all pay one way or another) in the States. However, after hearing countless stories from friends about Rio, I decided I would go there with some boys. One of the people I was with was being deployed soon (or so he thought), so we went there for a good time. We did not know if we would do P4P and much of our first few days were spent at Bernoetti's, Bunker, etc buying bottles trying to talk to these hot Brazilian chicks with our limited Portugese. Also, we did go to Help and rejected all invitations. On our second to last day, we went to Solarium after the glowing recommendation our friend had given us. I was nervous to say the least, and had to swig down 2 shots before I could even get myself to ask the cab to take us there. Had no idea what to expect, but hey as the saying goes, once it is done the first time, it is very easy to do it again.

As for Costa Rica, it was not a big dilema or a moral crisis as it was in Rio the first time we went. We definitely did not want that to be the only thing we did but it didn't feel as wrong anymore. I am 25, and the first time we paid for anything was in Brazil at 23. I don't know if that is too young or whatever, but my justification is that I want to get it done before I get married. I know many say, it is hard to stay faithful etc etc...but in my mind, I can and I will so this is the only time I really have.

I don't want to try every woman on the planet out, but I just want to be able to sample some from each group. I can get girls in DC with little problem but so many games have to be played and I get tired of girls very quick at the stage in my life. I don't want to be labeled a monger, but I also like that places like Rio and Del Rey exist. Sometimes I think about it and feel bad, and then sometimes I can't wait to do it again.

This is a good thread...I've not been involved with the game for a long time by any extent but I do remember the first time. I was in Shanghai for business and bored so I went down to the bar at the hotel and the next thing I know I'm in my room with a gorgeous Thai girl. Woke up and ate my breakfast with my colleauges and had the biggest grin on my face and not a hint of guilt. I've only traveled to CR once which was last March but I have two trips planned for next year. I also fish when I'm there as well. I am just 27 years old but with being busy with work and other activities (none of them are marital). I feel that a trip like this is something that only a few can do and truly enjoy it.

I was 50 when I had my first p4p encounter. If I had known what it was like, I probably would have begun around 45. Before that I was able, relatively, to find 'free' company, though not with as much frequency as I would have liked. Still, though the quality of the bodies was much lower than I am currently enjoying, the enthusiasm of a woman who actually WANTS to f*ck is something I miss too often here. I can tell the difference between mediocre acting and real passion, unfortunately. And there was a certain satisfaction in the 'conquest' aspect of it all. Down here it's like going to a trout farm. You can catch a giant fish, but it's nothing to brag about (though some do anyway). Having said that, I will take the mediocre acting of a trout farm fish over nothing any day of the week.

For me this is a tough question. Like trying to figure out the difference between first and second degree murder on an elderly man who kills his sickly wife out of sympathy.

When I think of mongering as a hobby what goes through my mind is traveling for the specific intent of having sex. And yes of course I have an idea that I will get laid when I get to CR but really I look forward to the everyday party, knowing I'm not at work, kicking Jimmy's ass on the golf course and Pac 55 recording it.

Since I've had really good luck in CR, I take the girls and the great sex for granted. Which I'm sure will eventually bite me in the ass but whatever.

I'm in my early 30's and go to CR now and then because I dont want to show up in 20 years and wish I had come earlier. I can see it now cujo55

I was in the Air Force and my first duty station was the Phillipines

That pretty much laid the ground work for P4P overseas...

I never once considered P4P in the states. But, my love to travel the world and not having friends to go with often allows women to be a tool in "helping me pass the time" haha... Oh yeah, just a bit of testosterone to let out.

So as my schedule has it now, in the 365 days commencing April 1 2007, I would have mongered in Medellin, Lima, Rio 3 times, Buenos Aires, San Jose, Sosua DR and Cartagena. I got to see all of those cities, only with the intention to go back to Rio.

I turn 30 in April. I'm well off enough to be able to travel with some style but a little guppie in New York with the women I pursue (often with a great deal of success), but that could be gone tomorrow. I would be borderline suicidal if 20 years from now I wished I had done more of this. I can always settle down. Once I settle down, I can't do this anymore.

In the past year, I can't articulate how much I've not only learned about the world, but learned about myself. I've become more of a free thinker, I know what I want in life, and what I don't want. I don't want to be doing this in 10 years, personally, but I wouldn't mind doing it for the next few. It motivates me to learn multiple languages, get in peak physical condition, and experiance highs without substances than many individuals would never dream of, with zero laws broken, and only my psyche to reconstruct, which is getting easier over time.

I have no issues with a normal relationship, however, because I know exactly what I want (not a porn star, but a WOMAN), I don't exactly seriously date very often unless the potential is there. I could be single for the rest of my life and not think twice about it. I thought that when I was 9 years old, that's not a new perspective for me.

What is the best age? Obviously a question for each individual. I'll tell you one thing. Not everyone can handle it at 25. Some may be better or worse off for it. I am a better person. I will never "settle", which I had come close to in the past. I have an eerie confidence that I only had inconsistently in the past when it comes to women. My effectiveness with civilians has increased manyfold. My ability to understand what is right and wrong with America has increased manyfold.

And I've met some great people, all jaded in their own way, just like myself, that have made my life more enjoyable. For an only Ch*ld who had many years of tough times (not all that tough, but seemed tough at the time), who came out the other side smelling like roses but lacks a true circle of friends or even family, it filled that gap.

At the end of the day, this game is not about consumption for me. It's not about paying for diapers below the border either. It's about taking in all that is in the world and truly being happy, hopefully as much as possibly not at the expense of the well-being of others. That's another argument.

I can't tell you how many times guys tell me (even last week), man if I knew about this place when I was 30....

I started at 27/28, perhaps I may disappear for many years one day. Perhaps we all may. I think I'm a better person for my experiences here.

Now explain that to my neighbors on the Upper East Side



Cujo - Rio.. book it... April 4 Departure - 12th return

Ron and Cujo- well said. I also enjoy CR for the everyday party, gambling and, oh yeah, the girls. I see that Mr. Medellin is big on Rio; I like Brasil too but the flight it too long and exepensive when I can be in San Jose in under 2 hours from MIA or Ft. Laud.

Hmmm,

I was a young consultant travelling 100% of the time and was doing my first project in LA. I was 24 and we had a client who insisted we stay at the Beverly Hills Hotel where he stayed when in town. I stayed over a weekend and was at the bar all dressed up in my best blazer and Italian loafers (Even had hair back then) fancying myself quite the player. This gorgeous woman with a European accent comes in and sets beside me. She asks for a light and I buy her a drink. After about thirty minutes of small talk, she suggests we go up to my room. In the room she goes to the bathroom and comes out in full lingerie. She then asks me to put the money on the table. I was young and gullibel and had no idea she was a prostitute. I was too embarassed to tell her, so I paid and it was well worth it and then some. So my first monger trip wans by accident.

I could not imagine being in my early twenties and trying to handle CR.

BKTUNA
I am never going home

In my early thirties. Recently divorced, mentally and emotionally exhausted and didn't have the energy to put up with the BS to get laid the traditional way.

100 percent agree

Couldn't have put it better myself. I started in my late 30's due to the same issues. Now I am remarried to a beautiful colombian girl, but I am of weak moral fiber and i still monger when I am out of the country.
