Well, Pidd is half right. Quality does win over quantity. It never ceases to amaze me that, no matter what the facts are; some think every woman in Costa Rica is only with a american for one reason; that being money. Individual experiences are just that, individual. In my case, we have now been together for well over 4 years. If anyone cares to go back into the archives, she gave me a ton of trouble. Over time she has matured and learned. She sees the love and devotion that her Ch*ldren and I have for each other. She knows where the rent and grocery money come from. She listens to the Ch*ldren everyday as they tell others, mi papi this and mi papi that.She knows what the Ticos want from her. We are very sexually compatable and love to talk with each other. I respect any guy that doesn't want any emotional commitment, but what do they have against someone that does. Just because it isn't for you, doesn't mean that it isn't for anyone.

Excellent point Pac. One of the great "ahhhh hah!" moments in life is realizing you have the right and maybe obligation to define your own roles and rules as they suit you and your partner...regardless of the conventions and opinions of the masses.

Tenga suerte!

For sure. I learned a while ago that a relationship only needs to make sense to those involved in it.

Good stuff

Amigo, you are preaching to the choir. If not for the fact that I have a special lady in Costa Rica, I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't be such a frequent visitor to Sportsmens. Bill plans to name his next room the Foo Foo or Ciaociao Suite.

Ciaociao

Yes, CC, I was thinking of you as an example of what I am talking about. A very good example, as a matter of fact.

I count as a CR virgin but have been a long-time hobbyist in Europe. Over the past 15 years I too found myself looking for more than a never-ending series of quick encounters with very attractive women in the various countries my job allowed me to visit. (Am especially fond of the German FKK clubs--what great variety of girls and skills!) So I selected a few favorites and then visited each of them more regularly until we were really comfortable with one another--not just a "session" and "Auf Wiedersehen" but weekend trips to the Hungarian wine areas or to the Romanian mountains. Over time, it turned out that this approach was not only pleasurable to each of us, but also more cost-effective, at least on the CPP scale (cost per pop) because I was paying much less than the hourly or daily fees of the houses where the girls normally worked. And while they were still working, most times they could arrange to get away for our little encounters.

This leads to my current thinking about my first trip to SJO, hopefully before the end of April. Certainly want to hit the HLH, DR, NF and other monuments to the hobby life, but am also planning to keep eyes peeled for potential candidates for the rank of favorita, both for possible day/weekend adventures out of the Gulch on the visit (aiming for 10 days or so) and for return trips later in the year, when I expect to have more free time. If/when this could turn into an LTR, I can make that decision based on a fair amount of prior experience with the lucky girl.

One last thought: not only the traditional YMMV factor applies, but also the age and experience of the man. Yes, I know that most of us like to try something new every so often, but at this stage of my life (big 60 coming up) there is a lot to be said for the familiar, comfortable and predictable charms of a favorita/novia/esposa de la epoca. Pura vida comes in many forms, amigos. Look forward to meeting some of the CRT veterans in a few weeks and learning from their experience.

In your first post you mentioned the comfort zone. I feel that that exists partly due to the SL The tight knit of the brotherhood as well as the girls
I think the more relaxed scene is a byproduct of getting better service
I also think some of the girls like the idea of spending more time with one guy.My girl knows that when she is with me that gets food and drink and what every money I deem apropriate.I believe she likes the sure thing as much as I.Also bagging other chicas can derail the train lucky for me she has a few girl friend that she brings along to add to the mix
I agree that this is not for the faint of heart. Two points that have been made over and over If you do not live in CR do not try and go any further
And do not take the beast out of the jungle they will not like where you live miss thier friends and become a burden

GM and Pac, great posts and I’m happy for the two of you. You guys seem to have hit a wonderful plateau that works for you and everyone involve. One aspect of your situation is that you guys live in CR or frequently go back and forth to make it work. I think that is a critical point to make. The rest of the monger population believes that they can achieve the same type of panacea while living in USA and flying to CR once every six months and here is where the problems start. I think that a caveat should be added that unless you can live or fly routinely to CR, you should not be trying this. My $.02.

Good points, Nnhank.

Absolutely true. I have found that clearly communicating that you are not exclusive and will be seeing other chicas helps (and is necessary...and must be repeated) but what seems to work well is an agreement not to take other girls in her presence. I believe it is just common courtesy not to disrespect your favorita by working another girl in front of her. Some go so far as to not take another girl out of her venue. They do talk and you know somebody is going to come up to her and say "guess who I saw your man with last night...".

Josie, I think I mentioned that a monger needs to spend at least a month a year here, spread over the course of the year. The guys who are spending a week a month here seem to hit this groove pretty easily. You are correct, it takes time to develop.

I congratulate Pac and GM and wish you and yours the best.

I thank all of you for your advice and views, which have been invaluable.

PAC, agreed...which is why I always like to have a few favoritas. One in particular is my first call when I get in country. However, I think she may be married b/c when I called on my last trip she never answered and finally a guy answered. I played dumb and asked if it was the "pizza place"
I have a couple of others but on some trips I may not call any of them.

OH well, as hey say NEXT

PURA VIDA!

Pacc, And GM. I am glad for you both. I to like to have a favorite. A comfort zone. But am a firm believer in the ole live and let live outlook on life. I have two teenage daughters. And as such and being in my 50's am not looking for more. So, I did the vassecotomy. But Can say that in reading GM's post I could remeber a time before they were teenagers. And were happy to see me. And not ashamed to ride in the work truck.

Good post Pac, And for you I hope the first time is the charm. Congratulations
