KBB, the misogyny on the board is pretty amusing. Sometimes as I'm watching sports at one of the frequented spots, I just break out laughing as I look around and think about the evil gringa thing. When I see so many admirable specimens of husbands and boyfriends all around me. The "evil gringa" is CRT's boogey man.

KBB, Thirdworld, there are a lot of scarred and broken veterans of the 'gender wars' of the US sitting on stools at the SL bar. I'd like to stick up for 'forgotten man,' for the guy who might have been a good husband or boyfriend, but he did not run afoul of an imagined 'evil gringa,' but a real one.

You see them when they are in their 40s, 50s, and 60s. But if you look beyond the wrinkles, the grey and bald heads, the bodies broken by decades of desparate lives trapped in cubicles, and assembly lines, mortgages and production quotas, marriages and alimony agreements, you will realize that once, "they were soldiers, and young."

If you were take a man of the early 1960s, put him in suspended animation, and decant him today, he would be amazed at how the role of the responsible, hard working man has been diminished. He would be amazed at how feminized the society has become, and how it has stacked divorce court, workplace, and the government against him. Even the water they drink attacks their sperm counts and testosterone levels, as their sperm count is lowered by the female hormones of millions of birth control pills that are not filtered out of municipal water systems.

If these scarred, slightly embittered men are not up to your standard, just remember that they didn't start out that way 20 or 30 years ago, and now that they have "unplugged from the matrix," they might have reason to be wary.

And also remember, that sometimes, when you look into the abyss, sometimes the abyss looks into you.

And not to end on too negative a joke, I'd like to recount a story that Richard Pryor told about his experience in divorce court.

"I went to divorce court, and my ex wife's attorney had her show up dressed up like a little girl. She even coached her to testify in a little girl voice. (adopting a slow, childish falsetto) '.... I married him, and then, your honor, everything happened...'

When it was all over, the judge asked me:

"Mr. Pryor?"
"Yes, your honor."
"In the settlement, we took away your money?"
"Yes, your honor."
"...and we took away your home?"
"Yes, your honor."
"...and we took away your cars?"
"Yes, your honor."
"...and we took away your Ch*ldren?"
"Yes, your honor."
"...and we took away your furniture?"
"Yes, your honor."
"Tell me, Mr. Pryor, do you have any hopes or dreams for the future?"
"Um, why yes, I do. Why do you ask, your honor?"
"Because we want those, too."

I'll be the first to admit that I have met a few cretins in this hobby. And many are not as smooth, sophisticated, educated, or polished as you would like them to be. Most are the opposite of 'metrosexuals' or the products of prep schools.

But they are the people they make our society work. Remember the line from Fight Club.

"Look, the people you are after are the people you depend on: we cook your meals, we haul your trash, we connect your calls, we drive your ambulances, we guard you while you sleep. Do not Phuck with us."

The few a-holes I meet in his hobby are either displaying their "I'm on vacation" persona, or their 'I missed out on frat house hi-jinks as a lad and now I'm getting catching up decades later' persona, or their 'I'm like a K*D in a candy store/this is my first trip to Disneyland' euphoria persona, or their 'I'm a big ball of anger and resentment' persona. I gauge what it is and decide whether to disengage. Some need to guided so they don't have a bad 'trip.' Some I avoid because I don't want to be around when they get themselves into trouble.

But I don't judge. I don't know what set of choices or circumstances got them to the same place I got to, a stool at a bar in SJO, or MDE, or Pattaya, or Singapore.

However, the 95% of the guys have some interesting stories, have done things, have been places.

So true in many jurisdictions. Hopefully you live in a state that grants jury trials in divorce suits, Tx for one I know for sure, or at least the last time I checked years ago. But not in my major state. In fact, no right to a jury for divorce in most states, though you can get a jury in all states for a $250 fender bender. Go figure that, a jury for your dented bumper but not who gets your K*ds.

Have you noticed stat's showing guys are not getting married any more, just shacking/knocking em up? Like QB Jay Cutler for example.

Common sense with goofy Gringo divorce American jurisprudence, men are wising up. But, if she insists on nuptials, you or your son has to insist on a PRENUPTIAL drafted by the best family law lawyer in your or her's or both states that you can afford. Hard to ask someone you love to do this but it has to be done--50% ending in divorce in the US. Only a lucky guy or a fool would say "I do" without one, IMHO. All the multi-millionaires do. Jordan didn't, cost him $25-40 million more in my state court. He was broke and in college and didn't have one when he married his HS sweet-heart. He never imagined he was going to become MICHAEL JORDAN.

Alot of younger guys in their 20's fall prey to "love and marriage baby in the carriage", based on"I don't have nothing and I love her and we will always be" and jump in without a pre-nup. Correct, they are broke at the moment, but they are just starting out. Remember Jordan? guys don't think about 15-25 years later when they've done real well $$$. Now they're in the spiders trap called 'divorce court' where the laws in most states are so ancient they're are based on wives walking around barefoot and pg. And then stuck without a pre-nup to fight ancient pro women statutes without a jury. I just gave you the map on how so many of us got hurt, but also how the younger guys and our sons can avoid it. PRENUP!

All modern smart men and women do it, it's a must. Oprah has one with Stedman who never has worked since the day he signed it, but I'll bet dollars to donoughts he'll be back working when the day comes when he can't get it up anymore for her highness. Give him credit for what he's pulled off so far.

Whitney Houston, an addict but when she married Bobby Brown still had some smarts and insisted on a pre-nup. You can view it on line. You'll see very minimal lawyer work but good eunf. She must have been broke, probably cost her her $300 in legal fees, but she knew she needed it, and the laywer did a good enuf basic job. And it proves my point, do it. This quickie document had what it takes & kept Brown from challenging it.

(As an aside in todays paper: "Unbeknownst to most, a quiet but vigorous battle has been waged behind the scenes by Whitney Houston’s daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown against the executors of her mother’s estate, including grandmother Cissy Houston and Whitney’s sister-in-law, Pat Houston. The executors have been concerned that Bobbi Kristina would not properly handle the money she is due to begin inheriting in two years. Part of the concern centers on the control the teen’s fiancé — Nick Gordon — has over Whitney’s only Ch*ld, who likely will soon become his wife.
However, the lawyers decided the will and estate documents are airtight, so Bobbi Kristina will receive 10 percent of her inheritance when she turns 21, 20 percent at age 25 and the balance on her 30th birthday.
Of course, the estate is expected to soar in value over the years — running into many millions over the ensuing decades." Whitney may have been an addict, but she was either very cmart or had good legal in her probate planning--spreading her daughter's $$$ over the years until she was mature was very, very smart.

Michael Jordan didn't have a pre-nup. Cost him $168 million in my state court--no jury, still I think he caved. He was broke in college when he married his HS sweetheart, JuanitaqVanoy, but paid the price after she wasn't so sweet 20 years later and he was "LOADED". Did she hit the lottery marrying Michael or what.

You think that is bad. Tiger had one, but it had an infidelity clause--she obviously had a good lawyer when the pre-nup was drafted and Tiger must have been in denial when he signed it--or his lawyers were duped or dopes to let that clause in.

Cost him $100 to $750 million depending on which version you read. In Florida, a no jury trial for divorce state. The former Ms Woods/Euro chick is eating high off the hog now and forever because of that mistake by him or his lawyers, him in the final analysis. I think he caved, for that kind of money litigate until the cows come home. Pay the juice but the soon to be rich ex's will come down in what they'll take because they need/want it now, especially as you earnings "drop off" intentionally or not, but his sure did. I know he's kicking himself.

Tom Cruise and what's her name must have a "good for both sides" pre-nup, based on the fact they got a finalized divorced in a month. Had to be a very good pre-nup drafted by very good lawyers for both sides or they would be fighting for years over the $$$. Still they have a Ch*ld with a broken heart and a crazed life ahead for her but no law/court is going to fix that.

Pre-nups have to be drafted, in the perfect legal world, with all possible future horrors anticipated and that's why I say hire the best you can afford. But even Whitney's low fee pre-nup stuffed Bobby's challenge--and he did challenge it, trying to get her to pay his re-hab debts. Her pre-nup said what was her's including future earnings, was hers and vice versa, and the same for their debts. So even a basic one will work 99% of the time, your lawyer will tell it needs to have: Complete disclosure of all assets and debts, both sides have had the chance to have a lawyer, the agreement cannot be "unconscionable", and a few other minor things. Why people pay 10k for that is beyond me, Whitney's worked. I read it. it took her lawyer 30 minutes at most. It worked. What he charged her, no clue. What I think he should have charged her? Not much.

I'm sure Tiger and his lawyers are pondering who messed up. I'm saying Tiger on a pure guess. His lawyers probably had no clue and never thought that clause would ever come back to bite "Mr. Clean" or they would have advised him accordingly.

Most of this advice is inapplicable to readers of this board, we've already been burned or dodged it. But many of our sons are fixing to get hooked and have incredible futures ahead, so give them good fatherly advice. They may never be a Jordan or a Woods but they can be serious $$$$ people. PRENUPTIAL!

Just posting more of the exchange for prosperity. Wonder what would happen if the ticas ever found out we (Men) were talking.

her response to a facebook message
"Thankyou so much baby, you are so special to me. Please call me when you want. I miss you so much. In a few days i go to Nicaragua for my Babi*s. hugges and kisses."

So a few things to note. First the name of her facebook account isnt the name she uses with me...cute. Second, she has mysteriously disappeared from my facebook friend list. Lastly, since I have messaged her (and she hasnt locked out her account from visitors) I can see her pictures. If it is her current pics, one never knows, shes gained 25 lbs. Also there seems to a nice looking gentlemen (brother? Husband?). Anyways it doesn't matter.

Called recently (glutten for punishment)...international calls suck for clarity
She tells me she's in big trouble. The father of her Ch*ldren want to take the K*ds away because she is a prostitute. She is scared and doesn't know what to do. En San Jose or Jaco...couldn't tell which.

Caco

Dump her . Dump her. Run . Run

You can take the girl out of the Whore House, but you can`t take the Whore out of the girl

Remember the words of wisdom my friend John gave me way back in 8th grade, in the late 1960's:

Rob, never marry a whore......she'll get tired of your ugly c.o.c.k and be out phucking other guys real soon.......

Cacoca, if the floo shits, wear it, if you take my point (its the Punch Line of a rather unfunny joke, a take off on if the shoe fits wear it)

I have seldom seen/encountered a guy who needs a savvy wingman more than you - not being nasty, just truthful - we all have to realize our personalities, strengths and weaknesses, and do all we can to compensate and overcome them - you impress me as a guy who is open to "assistance", not a "know it all" by any means - so, just take life, as well as Costa Rica slow and easy, don't marry anyone just yet, and perhaps (over)think a little less - good luck )

PS If you want to assure an RFM, or other such drama, keep facebooking whores

Hay, I thought that joke WAS funny.

What, about some f.u.c.k.ing bird shiting on you and then the moral of the story being if it does, wear it????

A regular riot, Alice - not .

Bet you would would shit your pants laughing over the one about the chicken crossing the road, or the fireman wearing red suspenders - real knee slappers, huh:


Just phucking with you, but I donthinkthe one about the floo shitting is very funny

Caocao, just when I thought it could not get any worse, I reread the above post and despite - despite the fact that the lady in question is from Nicaragua, you refer to her as a "tica" - which simply means female Costa Rican, not another word for whore - so don't use it as such - its really insulting to Costa Ricans.

And yeah, I think they know we talk about them (not I - I post on CRT - very seldom about ladies and don't use facebook and don't trade e mails with those I've met - I leave that to the clueless )

Oh....another point - you really need to smarten up - seriously - I'd drop the cunt just on the grounds she uses the term "baby" waaaaay too much - and she is setting you up - if it was not the k*ds father looking to take them (never mind the Phucker has not been around since he phucked her lucous brown Nica ass and cunt and never contributed a Cordoba to their care since she shit them out ) it would be a sick grandmother, surgery, or some other BS request.

Re read my previous post in this thread; take to heart the advice my friend John gave me so long ago, and truly, do yourself a favor and smarten up - almost never does anything good or positive come from a relationship with a sex worker.

The next time you come down, just give them money for the heck of it. Walk around and hand out bills. If you cannot actually have a good time with the putas, get your rocks off many times, PARTY WITH THEM AND HAVE FUN. Then, what the hell is the point?
