Yes, they were all sexually abused and abondoned.

Can we get any more cliché. Come on.
How about they are normal women who have mouths to feed and rent to pay and $75/week just isn't gonna cut it, so they do what they have to do to survive?

Orange,
What you don't understand are there are LOTS of jobs in CR that pay a reasonable market wage. Prostitution is not the only choice for a single women with a baby. In fact, if they get a real job, all of their medical care is free and their education is free.
Remember - I've been living here for almost 2 years now. I have a little different perspective.
The "I just need to pay my bills this month, so I think I will sell my pu*sy" doesn't fly with most chicas. Did I say they were "all" abused and abandoned? NO. But, many of them are. And, most of them are super phucked-up in the head. We all know that they are chronic liers and kleptomaniacs. They do this with ZERO remorse. Just read all the posts.
This isn't totally their fault. Nor, is it our fault. The point I'm trying to make is - who the hell would want to "date" one of them? There is so sooooo much pu*sy available in CR outside of the prostitutes. All it takes is a little work and some risk.
Sheesh - rent them by the hour... nada mas!!!
Personally, having ANY girlfriend is not what I want, though I do enjoy the girlfriend-like types more than any other. But I believe I speak from adequate experience here to say that it is economics more than psychological problems that 'drive' a woman to prostitution. I know plenty of prostitutes reasonably well. Some are scum, most are iffy and some are quite admirable. I don't want to get the same tired thread going again about whether women have no choice but to sell their bodies. I'd say they do have a choice, and it's not a choice between two attractive options. I agree that those looking for
'love' would do better to search outside the prostitute pool. But to me it's not because being a prostitute means she is a kleptomaniac, man-hater or self-hater. Giant differences in age, culture and wealth make for problems right off the bat. Prostitutes are by definition sexually appealing (to someone, at least). It's just too easy to be blinded by science here. Back in the day, I was rather a ladies man and I can't say how many times I found myself backpedaling at full-speed after a one-nighter, with my latest conquest thinking we actually had something going just because I was enraptured by the thought of getting in her pants and had turned on my charm (such as it was) to 100. Likewise, a good prostitute can be quite charming and give the illusion of something more than just sex, leading the poor monger to let his emotions run away with him while to the girl it was just business.
Exceptions aside, many of us are looking for 'company' in Costa Rica because we can't find it back home. For those who are emotionally vulnerable, this place is an accident just waiting to happen. Sadly, those who need to pay attention to these repeated warnings usually rationalize their way into thinking that THEIR case is different. Que lastima!
