Money talks but communication does go a long way. I agree that any guy with money to burn can be with a hot girl in CR. You won't hear me contest that.

However, how many times have we seen a hot chic and when she opens her mouth she gets ugly fast? Its the same thing with us fellas. You're just another John (I mean Juan) to them until you start makin them laugh and they have a good time.

My only point is, if you are going to spend a long time with a girl in the car then on the beach, make sure the two of you get along. If you're just business, I think its the worst decision.

Personally, I like lone wolfin it. I like my time alone. Don't get me wrong, I'm an extremely social person, but I like it when we're done and the girl leaves. There is one girl that does it for me and owns me in CR. She doesn't know it (thank God), but I would hang with her and take her to the beach if she asked me. I'd probably dress up like Little Bo Peep if she asked me...but that's for a different thread...

The first time I went to CR, I mentioned on this board that I had a schedule to keep. I don't know who it was, but they told me to play it by ear and go with the flow. Great words of advice. Do what feels good. If ya wanna go to the beach with some company do it. Just don't be a sucker. Personally, I decided on the last trip, not my cup of tea. But I've been to 2 of the beaches. I'd like to continue spellunking the strange in SL and HDR...

I agree here, all should enjoy based on what they want.

Now, for me, I wouldn't take any lady anywhere if I was paying her one penny for her time. If a girl that I had been with wants to go somewhere, and of course I am paying for the travel/room/board, I don't care be it via a donkey, staying at the Cardboard Inn, and eating crackers, there is no payment for time. If she needs a babysitter, find a sister or friend. You are with me bcs you want to be or you are not. My assumption is that we are strictly talking about a vacation. So, she should be taking a vacation from work! Very clear to me.

Guys that do whatever they enjoy with a lady but understand she is still working (even just a bit), I think it is great.

I could only imagine my response to the girl if she wanted to go to the beach, see a volcano, or go on a canopy tour and I am paying for her time along with the expenses?

I'd probably bring her to my room, sprinkle some dirt on the bathroom floor, turn on the shower, and tell her she has arrived at Playa Dean, now walk over the sand into the sea and freshen up. Next stop, volcano tour. Pull down my pants, have her blow me, nut in her face and then tell her I got pictures of the eruption which i can send. We have to Zipline (surprise, not included in the original request, but I am nice Joe) over to the bed for the canopy tour which consists of getting under the covers and phucking.

Travel expense = 0 (all done in my room)
Lodging = 0 (I am already paying for my room)
Food = 0 (Sorry, all out of turkey, here's some cookies from the plane ride)

Chica expense = whatever was negotiated, which is fine.

Trip over within 2 hours so no babysitter fee.

I wonder what my response would be if she wanted to ride an ATV?

That's some classic Deano shit right there Now you see why JOsie was dodging you?

Interesting fact: Greece has the lowest birthrate in Europe, lower even than Ireland, because so many live at home into their 30's. Relevant? No. But interesting.

There is a very simple explanation for it. Greeks are just sick and tired of all the idiots around them so parents decided why subject a future K*D to it. So, in a Spartan manner, we only keep the mentally fittest close to home. In keeping with the Spartan analogy, it is theoretically possible that 300 of us can take on the whole CR Puta Army of 8000 led by their general, Cien para Jerxes, daughter of Dierrereus con condom. Now, that is some thinking my friend! If this war were to ever occur, I get to be King Le-ya-no-rubbis.

Now, that is interesting Brother Jazz.

I'm with Julliano in the sense that there are/ will be many many "right" answers at the end of this thread, which btw is a good one JOsie.

I have done both the beach and Arenal with a favorita (different). One, the beach, was fan phucking tastic, and the volcano was eh. Did the beach first and was for 4 days, the volcano was for 2 days. Both similar in that they were nice hotels, ate at nice restaurants, and found enough things to do, beyond bedroom olympics, to keep things interesting.

The difference was the CHICA. Now both were pretty good favoritas back in SJ..you know the drill, come over Phuck, maybe go eat, maybe go to the mall, blah blah blah. Both were on the same level.

Once out of town, TOTALLY different story. The beach fav. actually got more romantic and saw the value of not having to bang total strangers and turned that value back toward me. To this day, still the best sex I've ever had in CR! This one never once asked for babysitting $$ or souveneirs or anything really.

The volcano chica, totally opposite. She saw it as JOsie explained, a paid vacation. The sex was actually worse, which is kinda baffling still. Wanted this to wear, this to eat, on and on. And I'm the type of guy that if you don't ask for it, you are gonna get it. If you ask, see ya.

What does all this mean? It depends on the chica You/ We have NO idea how she is going to act once we take her out of the environment we are used to with her. I say, if you have a strong need/ urge to get out of the gulch and be with a chica/ favorita then roll the dice and see what you get. And if you find one that acts right on "the road" go somewhere else with her. Don't just ASSUME it will work with a different chica because it worked before.

I think the low birthrate has nothing to do with living at home and everything to do with the fact that "Greek style" obviously came from Greece. Apparently, they must like it, and therefor, well, draw your own conclusion.

This is exactly the type of discussion that I wanted to generate. Just not give a newbie a single sided view of the issue but multiple experiences that could be translated to his situation.

Except Dean. Now every time I go to the shower in CR and I feel any dirt under my feet, it will remind me of Playa Dean. I might start asking my favoritas, “Have you been to Playa Dean? You see, now that shit is stuck with me.

A good chica is like a good carpenter - No wood gets wasted!!!

Personally, I always had a better time when going away with wingman(men) and our chicas than just me and a chica.

It is a more festive atmosphere. You can all go out together, sit poolside and drink, or go fishing, whatever. It's just more of a natural good time versus having to think of things to do (you can't Phuck all day).

First, I'd never take a chica out of the gulch for several days unless she was a fun type and a proven commodity. But, there is nothing I like better than having a car and traveling out to the hinterlands. I like the volcanoes, lakes, beaches and most any type of eco day. Zip lining, horse back riding, watching hummingbirds come to feeders while I'm sipping a cafe are fun and relaxing.

My favorite hot springs aren't even known by most ticos or mongers either. Taking a chica. Local restaurants can be great and the whole experience feels like a weekend with a girlfriend rather than with a puta. Chicas tend to really relax and act like GF's in those circumstances, if you pick the right ones up front.

Yep, it can cost a bit more, but is worth it. If it isn't your way, then perhaps MP's are a better value.

I'll attempt to add a little perspective here by posing two questions:

1) Would you take a gringa prostitute with you on a beach vacation to Florida?

2) Would you expect the gringa prostitute to go with you for just room and board (i.e. you cover the travel expenses but that's it)?

Funny, Dean


I would say everyone should do CR their way and see how it pans out. I have been on a few sides of this spectrum...Taking a favorita...taking a non-pro....and meeting a non-pro and have her stay with me. Two of the three worked out fine. The other one who I met and had her stay with me, not so much. She was always there, invited her friends to over and out at night oo much, and not a ton of action. I ended that after 3 days. The rest of my stay I would see her and she even came up to me and yelled at me and my date that I was making out with at a disco. Crazy...but the chica I was with loved the drama and would keep grinding me and kissing me to egg her on more.

Truth is, and this is just me, I prefer to travel around CR solo and see what comes up. I like the thrill of finding someone new in a different town and, in any town other than SJ or Jaco, they are far less jaded. And I don't have that feeling of being stuck with them.


PURA VIDA!

Livin' & Lovin' in Key Largo....oh....And the one in The Keys, too!

Interesting thread.....

Well, I've got to chime in here. Since I have an office in a beachfront hotel in Guanacaste, I'd venture to guess that I've probably taken more trips to the beach (with many different chica's) than most members, so I can definitely speak from 1st hand experience on this one.

Over the past several years, I've made a few dozen trips to CR. And out of 60+ trips, I have never NOT gone to the beach for at least a couple days and nights. After all, business is the main reason I travel to Costa Rica anyways !!! My usual trip consists of 5 days / 5 nights. I like to fly into San Jose and play for a couple days, then fly over to the beach for a couple days, then back to SJO for a final night.

Early on, I used to fly the chica's over to the beach with me on Sansa or Nature Air. After doing this too many times, I started to get tired of paying the extra expenses because the chica's would never take that money into account. It didn't matter to them how much I spent on their travel, because they didn't get any of that money. As long as I paid them the agreed-upon price in the end, they were happy. Even though I could almost understand their way of thinking, it still got old.

Because of this, I started doing something different. I'd simply tell them that – If they wanted a nice weekend a la playa conmigo, they'd have to take the bus from SJO and meet me at the beach. And I'd even buy their 4,500 colones bus ticket for their trip back to SJO! I've done this every trip for the past (almost) 3 years, and have not had one complaint! If they want a good time, with a nice guy, in a beautiful beach-front hotel, away from SJO - they'll make the effort and get their ass to the beach to collect their paycheck. I was skeptical at first, but it definitely works! They don't think about how much they're making per day or per phuck. They look at the “lump sum” they'll get on Sunday morning, before they get on the bus and head home. And from my experience, $250 - $300 for a weekend at the beach is more than enough to make them happy. There have been times where I've given them a little more than this, but if I did - there was certainly a good reason for it !!!

Some trips, I spend the weekend with a favorita. And some trips I just roll the dice and try someone new, simply based on someone's recommendation, or because we had a great TLN in SJO, or because of a few prior e-mails with the chica. I'm not afraid to meet someone for the 1st time and spend a couple days with them. Shit... I can get along with ANYONE for a couple of days. Maybe it's just me, but I love the anticipation of a first encounter, not knowing what to expect. Sometimes, when I see the chica for the first time - I'm not as excited as I thought I'd be. And other times - I can't believe my phucking eyes when I see her for the first time, and can't wait to get her to the room... NOW!!!

Either way, it's all good!!! And I'll say this – whether you take a favorita or a new chica away for the weekend, you still don't know if you're going to have a good time. In this arena, there are never any guarantees. But there are definitely things you can do to tip the scales in your favor. And I have been extremely lucky, as I've only had 2 less-than-memorable beach trips with a chica. You can do the math!

Some others have stated this, and I whole-heartedly agree – so much depends on your rapport with the chica, as well as getting the chica to laugh and feel comfortable while you're getting to know her. IMHO, the “vibe” between the two of you is much much much more important than the language barrier. I don't speak español fluently, but I can at least carry on a half-decent spanglish conversation with the chica. Hell, sometimes learning the language from each other makes the weekend even more fun. And when they're relaxed and enjoying themselves, and you're both having a good time together, it makes for some off-the-wall ridiculous sessions en la cama!

Just my dos colones. Buena suerte !
