We all know chicas are always late? How long do you wait for them before you say "next"?

Typically I can stand to wait somewhere between 15 minutes and a half hour.

Fortunately I have not had to take second best very often.

I figure 15 minutes. But, I do make sure I can be contacted (call hotel/bar). With a courtesy phone call, I can understand a delay. No phone call and just late, like 1 hr, I wait and talk up other chicas (I usually meet at a bar like SL). Then, I leave alone or with a different chica.

my first wingman sent me this, how true

" most of the girls down here, lie as a self defense mechanism and to not have to face the truth, thinking most men couldn't accept them knowing the whole truth. Simpler, they may just want men to think they are as perfect as they want to appear to them, trying to hide what they consider to be the ugly truth about themselves. And I may be reading more into it than is there, but I do believe they consider the basis of the lies to be justified."

Depends on the chica and how well I know her habits.

In my experience, Chica time works like this.

"Let's meet at 10:30pm"
"Ok"
<time passes.. it's 10:30>
<Phone Rings>
"Ok, I'm leaving i'll see you soon".

To the chica, "meet at xx:xx" means "leave at "xx:xx" and in some cases it means "start getting ready at xx:xx to meet". It never crosses their mind to get ready before the time mentioned, and it never crosses their mind that you want to meet at the time mentioned. The time is the signal for when they are supposed stop whatever they're doing and start thinking about your meeting.

There are several solutions to this:

1) Tell them to meet 30 minutes earlier than you want to
2) Tell them that if they are not there at the time, you will leave (you're more likely to get only 15 minutes late in that case)
3) Tell them you will deduct $1 for every minute they are late from their fee. They might even be early in this case.

12 minutes, 37 seconds..... MAX !

You ALWAYS have an option ....... "NEXT" !!!

15-minute. All my favoritas have tasted the lost of income of breaking that rule. I make it a point to go to the SL or HDR and pick someone else if the are over the 15-minute late rule. Once they see that you will not put up with them been late, they are always in time. Even Colombianas will show up on time and many times early for a date. If your favorita is always late, just try it once and you will see the difference.

The 15 minute rule is generous. Furthermore it demonstrates that "cultural differences" have nothing to do with telling time when it comes to business, money, blah, blah, blah. And whatever you do....don't give out the room number you're in if you have a direct inline....that thing will ring off the hook.....give the front desk number and request front desk staff to not give out your room number and to please screen the calls. "Tell 'em I ain't in, please....".

- Aldous Huxley, Brave New World, Ch. 16

My take is a little different. I've spent a fair amount of time waiting for Ticas and have never really minded it. I assume they will be an hour late. I spend my time between trips being a slave to the clock so I am a bit more laid back while on vacation. In fact, some of the best times I've had in CR have been those spent taking it easy and shooting the shit at SL while waiting for a lovely. I rarely have anything planned, so it's not like I'm missing out.

Ciaociao

10 min. at 15min start lining up something else..

Call me cynical, but this by far is one of the most interesting and comical questions ever.

Forgive me for not giving credit to the author of this as I am unsure of who it is and by no means can I take credit for his pinpoint accuracy on this ... but years ago I found a post called "Laws of Chicaland" and in it were a few items that hit right home in regards to the timeliness or untimeliness of chicas...


Time translations: There is temporal vortex in ChicaLand, which re-defines our traditional concepts of time calculation:

1 hour

a) As a measure of when she has to do something (i.e. arrive at your apt.) 1 hour means sometime today.

b) As a measure of time-on-the-job, it means until either you C*m or she gets tired (or bored.)

2 hours

a) As a measure of when she has to do something (i.e. arrive at your apt.) 2 hours means sometime much later today.

b) As a measure of time-on-the-job, 2 hours means basically the same as 1 hour except you owe her more

Right Away = Sometime in the next few hours

This afternoon = Before midnight

Tonight = Before dawn

All night (TLN) = Just after the sun rises in some part of the world

And of course...

Tomorrow = ?????

The concept of tomorrow DOES NOT EXIST in Chicaland - The closest concept that does exist may be loosely translated to mean "someday before the end of the world".

I always thought this to be classic commentary ... Hats off to the author.


On a more personal note ... I was foolish to think I could block off 3 women in shifts in terms of late morning/early afternoon ending in lunch & stuff; mid-day/very early evening trip to mall ending in stuff; and last but not least ... late evening/early night ending in dinner & stuff) ...

Well ... it played out this way ... At the time we were scheduled to meet...no chica ... waited 20 minutes and called the late morning girl who all of a sudden couldnt make it because she decided she wanted (not needed) to go to "Mom's" so she said she would be by in the afternoon (Bad move on her part) ... I said NO WAY ... call me later....she said she would just come by ... I said NO I'll call you.... How about that ... she wants to dictate the time...LOL

On to the next...

My Mid-day/early evening showed up to the DR more then an hour and change late due to "transportation" problems she is one that catches the buses and does not use taxi's ... and even she knew that that she was probably displaced and asked basically if we were still on ... lucky for her I hadn't found a victim at the Del Rey so we actually did the lunch thing and the stuff ... and good stuff it was...but it lasted way past her alloted time and into the time of the late evening girl who knew the time frame but was awaiting my call for confirmation.

In the meantime ... Called back the Morning girl and set a time for 10:00ish PM to call ... she wanted to come over immediately (sensing that someone else may be occupying her cash cow) ... I said NADA ... again she insisted that later she would prefer to come over instead of call ... and again I said call. My plans were for her to be the TLN which she has been before.

Finally, called the Late evening girl who was apparently just home relaxing and she was not opposed to a later dinner and was told this was a dinner event ONLY and she was fine with that as I knew I had the initially irresponsible morning girl between 10:00 and 11:00 and for the rest of the night.

The Late evening girl came over in a cab 20 minutes late (shocker) as she and the taxi driver had trouble finding the New HLH... (she declined me paying her fare and she paid the driver which was a surprise to me) ... she never got out, I got in ... we went straight to the restaurant...had a great time ... she came baring a small gift .... and was willing to go back to her home without session with just a wonderful evening under her belt ... Damn ... she hit the softy in me ... I felt like this is the one I shoud have spent the most time with and she's going home empty handed but with full belly. As the taxi approached the hotel ... I looked in her eyes, felt the quiver in the ol' stick and said come on .... come up for a drink, but I have to meet a friend that is coming into town at the casino later so basically dont get too comfortable ... well I think we were all on the same page at this point....had to send her home with something for her kindness and great company ... But it was now close to 11:00 my phone at the hotel should be ringing ... well, as I entered the hotel ... I had the most interesting dialogue with Eduardo at HLH who was manning the front desk.

Eduardo: Your phone has been ringing

Me: Thank you for letting me know...I will check my messages when I get to my room.

Me: I am going to my room ... if anyone calls, tell them I am not here

Eduardo: OK, I will tell them you are busy.

Me: NO! NO! NO! Tell them I am not here!

Eduardo: Yes, you are busy

Me: Nooooooooo ... NO Aqui!!!

Eduardo: Yes, Yes, Mi entiendo ... No aqui ... I will no send phone call.

Me: Gracias.

Great guy that Eduardo, but didn't want to lose anything in the translation LOL!!!

Well...my dinner date did start getting a little comfortable and started watching TV a movie ... well I figured before she got really really comfortable ... I'd better make the move ... I did... we did and all was good ... as to not have her feel like I was absolutely giving her the bums rush we untangled, cuddled a bit and after a few minutes showered and I sent her on her way with something in hand for all her good efforts although I got the feeling she wanted to stay ... its now way on the other side of midnight... Not sure why I didnt keep her for the rest of the night, because I didn't really owe the morning girl anything as she for all intents and purposes stood me up ... but I guess it was a little more exciting this way...but I do try to keep my word.

I call the girl from the morning and I get no answer to her cell phone ... I make my way up to the DR and find she is not there and that there is nothing really to my liking or more appropriate that I feel like taking a guess on at for an Overnight ... so from the DR I call the girl again who for some apparent reason answers and is annoyed at me....for calling so late and not being there when she is ready....for some odd reason we lose connection (I think she just hung up) LOL.

Thus a nasty trend began of me calling her periodically and her wanting to create the schedule ... not adapting to mine or the time given ... so the upshot of all this is ... I haven't seen her since before this incident over a year and a half ago...but we still communicate ... She is a bright girl and nice girl and actually has a regular 9 - 5 job now in a business environment, but she's no fool she stays in touch with those that she considered her regulars ... but she has this bad concept of timing in that only her time matters not so much yours.

Typical Chica.

On a more positive note on the subject... Last year told a chica I would take her out to dinner for her birthday and told her I would meet her in the Del Mar at 7:00 ... I was actually in the DR prior to 7:00 and was simply multi-tasking ... talking to an old friend and trying to watch the end of the football game .... never even believing that she (any chica) would be anywhere near on-time ... I sauntered over about 15 minutes past the hour ... never thinking she would actually have been there on time .... to my surprise ... she had been there had finished a coffee she ordered and asked me what happened? I was scolded!!!! LOL!!!! Sir Isaac Newton was wrong ... sometimes the apple does fall up.

Man, this thread is beggining to sound like we should just expect tardiness......

I used to wait for chicas - especially when wifing up - just waiting for a chica to get ready for dinner could kill a normal man. Now - do it differently - I always have more chicas lined up than I can possibly see in one day - so I am the one that is always late and they are waiting, calling, getting pissed off, getting the message from reception that Don Rico is not available right now, etc. Sometimes they get pissed, but they always come back.

Peace, love, and let them wait,

Don Rico

I wait up to -about- an hour. I plan it that way. This is my time to read my paper or book or owner's manual that I been neglecting to read. I am happy that my little bundle of joy is late getting her hair dyed jet black, the way most think it comes naturally. Some of them are getting Babi*s looked after, and waiting, themselves for babysitters.

Some are pacifying boyfriends with lies as to where they are going .

In any event, the wait would only be a burden if I wasn't expecting it.

What I still can't wrap my head around is their reaction to you not being there and waiting for them when they are late. I had two different girls I met, told them I was waiting for another chica right now but how about tomorrow, let's say at 1PM for example. Then I was there at 1PM, I wait maybe 30 minutes then I split as I'm going to find other action.

Then when I come back, I get stinkeye, and if I say hi to them, sorry we missed meeting, I get an earful. So I say we agreed on a certain time (which they always have a different recollection of) and I waited and you didn't show up. Then I get oh no I waited for you all afternoon. I'm getting a little sick of this, so in the future I will tell them it's don't be more than 15 min late or I AM LEAVING

I guess this is just my way of doing things, admittedly its not for everyone. In the same way I give resistance to this whole p4p thing, I also expect people (chicas) to act right. So (to me) being grossly late for an appointment is either disrespectful or at the very least inconsiderate.

That being said, if a girl didn't make her time and I moved on to another girl I would simply explain I didn't think she was going to show up. No need to be angry or show disgust, its just the way it is. Because after all, that's not how people are where I'm from, so just because I'm in CR it doesn't mean anything has changed for me. Same with p4p, I freely will tell chicas we don't pay for sex where I'm from like they do here in CR. Most of the time that eases them off any "professional" attitude. If chicas feel they can play you in a "professional" way....they will

Like I said, my style isn't for everybody but I refuse to let my surroundings be this blanket for excuses’ that just don't fly "where I'm from". Chicas need that reality check, they've been getting away with this kind of stuff forever...

The problem comes in when the monger just "has to have her" giving her every reason to do whatever she wants. This comes in the form of poor performance or high asking price, or being late profusely... Costa Rica didn't cause this....mongers did

Don't compromise your ethics or standards just because your some place else....
