Hello all.... Enjoyed my first day in CR yesterday. Last night the Blue Marlin was packed with ladies. There were lots of 8's and tens. It seemed like all these girls there were asking for the Cien. Every single girl that I approached asked for Cien. I wanted to follow the NO CIEN rule so I kept moving and went on to the next one. One girl actually walked away from me when I negotiated lower after talking to her for about a half hour and 2 bottled waters later. After striking out countless times, I found one that would go for Cien for two hours instead of one. It turned out alright and she ended up staying for about 3 and a half hours anyway. Great time but that's another story. How do you guys find the ones that go for lower then Cien without having to sacrifice the looks? Picking up someone that does not have the looks I desire to get it lower than Cien is just not my cup of tea. I speak perfect spanish and these girls really ate that crap up but they would not budge. Maybe my negotiation skills are screwed up.

BTW, these were not Columbianas. I managed to stay away from them. All these girls I approached were local, ricci, ticci, tica girls.

Although I have no experience in CR, I have been many places and I think if a girl is into you enough she'll come down in price, period.

The tourist season is fast coming to a close. The girls are very aware that their earning ability is going downhill and are going to try and maximize the dollars when they can.

That being said it is still unusual for a Spanish speaker, on a Sunday night, packed with ladies, etc was unable to find a looker (in the eye of the beholder) for less then cien.

Keep working at it and you will find the right one and DO get to HH at the DR tonight for some sage advise.

I was there, also.

Of course they ask CIEN.

Have you ever heard of bargaining?

I took home a 7 for veinte mil and a 9 for cincuenta dolares, both with the promise of ""Ãœn buen propina por un muy buen tiempo"".

And I do tip for good service.
A good reputation helps in future negotiations.

The whole key for me is building up a rapport with the girls. If a girl starts negotiating right at the getgo, I tend to move on. That's a bad vibe. The ones I like to work on don't really force the issue. We usually sit around and I get an idea if she may be a "live one" and one that I can tell will show me that nymph side of her.

But later on when I am leaning towards a session with her I say something like:

"Look, now is where we have to play the little game that we all play at the Del Rey...I ask how much, and you tell me $100....then blah blah blah. But here is the deal, I don't pay $100. "

They actually like this laid back type approach I think...They are usually nodding there heads, and then say, "well how much do you pay?" I usually throw a $70 bid out there if she is an 8-9 and tell here there is upside if we have alot of fun (meaning upside to $80 or so). Sometimes they hit the bid and other times they don't. You have to be prepared to let them walk unless you are willing to fork over the $100.

I will be the first to admit, I do sometimes pay the $100. But everytime I have, it has been for what I perceive to be a prime piece of ass. And I have never been disappointed either with my sessions with them...

The facts are that there are some super hot girls in there that won't come off the $100, period. But some of them will. But I always take it with a grain of salt when someone says they get a legit 9-10 for under $70.

There is something else that helps above. Alot of times the girls start hammering about money because they are trying to figure out if you can afford them or not. And I don't blame them the way some of the guys look in there. Some guys show up looking like they just got off work at a commercial fishing trawler or something.

I am firmly convinced that dressing sharp down there comes into play on several fronts. First of all, Latinas (like all women) respond very favorably to men who dress w/ some class. Watch the latin men (the real players I'm talking about here) that have hot pu*sy around them, you hardly ever even see them wearing jeans. So all things being equal, they would rather someone who dresses well and has good grooming habits. And they will always give someone they feel is attractive a better session.

Secondly, when you dress to impress it generally gives them the idea that you can afford them. Doesn't mean that they're not gonna ask for the $100, but they may not feel as compelled to pre-qualify you. This also comes into play later on. If you come across as someone that they would like to try to work into their "program" of regulars who send them $, you are likely to get better service and maybe a bit cheaper at first so they can try to "reel you in later". (obviously you are not gonna do it, but you make them feel as though you might...little counter-espionage tactic here). But by the time they realize you are not gonna be a sugar-daddy, you have already moved on.

Note: I am in no way suggesting you dress gaudy or flashy, but just w/ some taste and class.

Try the "20 Minute" rule........

My 2 colones worth...I havent seen many legit 9s or 10s in the Delrey in a long time...but alas...beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

As for bargaining...yes, a legit 9 0r 10 there is rarely going to come off $100...because...they can and are getting it. And they dont care whether you are young/old, dress good or bad, or can entertain them in spanish or not. These are hard core business ladies and they are getting value for their quality and time. To my mind, I cant blame them.

Good job on negotiating more time for the cien though. If you really like them, then an additional 20-30 per hour is no big expense. Personally, an hour with a hooker is plenty...so I'd rather get the cheaper deal with maybe a 6 or 7 with personality.

Maybe we'll see you at happy hour today...

Willie Will here! Thanks for the replies guys! Having a great time. Jaco is extremely hot! On the subject of Cien, for some reason, these girls don't really wanna back down from it. However, I have been able to get Cien for more time than just an hour. It doesn't make sense how they figure out how much time is worth to them. I have been getting Cien for mostly 2 hours. One chick stayed for over 3 1/2 hours. (my first one!) But if I want less than Cien for 1 hour, they won't have it. Doesn't make too much sense to me. I guess they just want that Ben Franklin any which way they can. I guess they figure better to get Cien for 2 hours than getting 60 bucks for 1 hour and going back down and possible leaving with only 60 instead of Cien if they can't pick up anyone else. Go figure!

Tman I like the 6 and 7's with peronality myself.They give far better service and are usually less hardened.Attitude is more important than looks for me as long as long as the are acceptable.I have yet to pay over $50 and know many outher places for options which is where I usually end up.rbc100

I'm new to this scene (first CR trip coming up in June), so I haven't seen the talent but I would personally prefer a nice 6 or 7 at another location for $60 than a 9 or 10 for $100.

You know that saying, "All cats are grey in the dark". Obviously, I'm being somewhat sarcastic. But, seriously, I would prefer somebody who's not hardened and cold and if I could save a few bucks, all the better. I think quality in service is more important than quality in looks.

I will definitely check out DR, but based on the things I'm reading, I'm prepared to walk away. I know it sounds easy sitting here in front of my computer, I'm sure it won't be easy. It will be a test of wills: big head vs little head. (NO CONTEST)....which girl gets my $100? HAHA

As a relatively recent newbie, I'm risking a bit of flaming here, but I thought I'd pass on the information a local tico buddy gave me.

Price on the ladies, as with any commercial commodity will vary with market pressure and demand.

Thus, it is very possible to take home a 8, 9 or 10 for under U.S.$70.00/hour. Some market conditions that will lower price:

1.) Tourist high season vs. green season
2.) Proximity of the first day of the month (rent due, etc.)
3.) Dress/cleanliness/comportment of the buyer. Yes it's true. If you were in her place, would you screw a smelly, drunken whale for $100.00 or take a thirty dollar cut to be with a better looking, better smelling client?
4.) Communications skills and language: As much can and will go wrong during sex if communication is absent or difficult, the monger who can speak better Spanish will often get a better price. The chica foresees fewer problems with a gringo with whom she can communicate. She feels safer, more competent and more comfortable.
5.) Calm, gentlemanly behavior will automatically lower the price or increase the time by ten percent. Period. She may say it's only an hour for the fee, but if she likes you....well, maybe she will ignore the clock. I have read numerous reports on this forum where this has happened.
6.) Are you sober or loaded when negotiating? Nobody _really_ likes to have sex with a drunk. Sobriety serves to make negotiations easier and may even lower the price. Also, the sober monger is much less likely to be victimized.

Now, keep in mind that my tico buddy is very familiar with the scene (to the point where he was able to introduce all the girls at Bar Iten to me by name, and no fewer than thirty girls at the BM the same evening; he's obviously been there, done that. Yes, he is young, athletic and really handsome, but he swore that even a 47 year-old, overweight, blind gringo could snare a 6-7 for fifty bucks, especially if the above criteria were met.

Just my dos centavos' worth. Yes, centavos still exist in C.R.

Okay... help me out here, guys. I'm completely missing your point:

If you want to settle on a 6 or 7 ... why pay $60-$70 an hour when you can get a 6 or 7 (or 8?) at Zona Blue for $40???

To me, the whole, entire, complete reason for going to DR or KL is that you can get a 9 or a 10.

Yes, it's gonna cost more. That's why they're working the DR and not NF.

As for price... 9 and 10's seem to go for Toda la noche at around $160. At least for what I've got working (or not working) for me. Haven't been through the rainy season yet... so that should be interesting, if I'm without girlfriend by then.
