www.CostaRicaTicas.com

I see in the trip reports and girls review sections more and more guys using "Tica" and "Chica" interchangeably.
"Tica" does not mean prostitute. A Tica is a Costa Rican female.
Some Ticas get pretty indignant when they realize gringos are using that word to mean a hooker.
After all, some of the girls are Ticas, but many are Nicas, Colombianas, Dominicanas, et al, and I've even encountered a few Gringas working at the HDR and SL.

I once watched a bar fight in a pickup bar west of el centro. Can't remember the name of it, but it's a place mostly frequented by Ticos. The fight was between a Tico and gringo over the gringo's mis-use of Tica.
My two Colones worth....

It doesn't help that this site's name is "CostaRicaTicas", that's where the the clueless newbies are getting this idea.

True on the site name:

Pretty easy though:

Tica - Costa Rica Woman
Chica - Latina female/girl typically
Puta - Prostitute, should not use

I've noticed it too, and have posted as such - really makes you look clueless; some who have used the term claim to "know Spanish" - somehow, I doubt it -

And as I've pointed out more than once, you really piss off people down there using the terms interchangably. Another example of preventable stupidity

I've seen a lot more dis respect shown to guys than I have seen shown to the girls.

I think the formula is easier if one considers that being called a Tica DOES NOT make a Costa Rican woman a hooker, yet a hooker in Costa Rica can be (and usually is) a Tica.

It makes sense to me... but I seldom worry about such little issues.

Don't overcomplicate things by thinking about formulas and disrespect and such, folks.

I have found this to be true in all walks of life - If you act like an asshole to people, you can expect to be treated like an asshole in return.

A little respect and consideration works wonders. Believe it or not, even when mongering.
