How's your Spanish? If it's good and you have some game, you
may have a shot (The chicas won't drop their panties just because you're a hansum gringo

Brother Orange, I hear you loud and clear. I am very aware how important it is to speak the local language when trying to pick up women. Even in the Philippines, where everyone speaks English, my Tagalog skills took me much farther with the women than just looks, charm or money would have. I am working hard on my Spanish and have been for a while. It was pretty feeble when I arrived in San Jose and 6 short days later it was much improved. I'm working my way through Rosetta Stone Levels 1-5 and going to my local salsa club on the weekends, and I have a couple of friends who are native Spanish-speakers helping me out as well. I watch an hour of SCOLA here and there and read Spanish articles online a couple times a week. All I need now is a local Spanish-speaking novia here...got a couple of prospects for that.
I guess you could say I'm a man on a mission. It's not that I object to P4P, I certainly do not. I love me some mongerin'. I'm as red-blooded as we come, I have no problem paying a stunning girl to service my needs. But I'd rather it be an option for getting laid, not the only means. I enjoy meeting women, getting to know them, dating, etc. I like casting a wider net to increase my chances for the best possible experiences.
The other thing is, I know I will be an expat soon, either in Latin America or Southeast Asia. And a part of me would like a chance to meet a girl I could have a real relationship with someday, and sorry if this sounds bad, but slim chance in hell I will find that girl in the Del Rey or an MP. I'm jaded by American women and I hate to say it but most of the best girlfriends I've had have been foreign women. They treated my like a king for the most part.
Thanks for the advice as always. Gotta get back to Rosetta...
