And this is a good reason to not donate to the Red Cross, or any other kind of charity, because the people they help can qualify under your "(usually due to their own mismanagement or laziness)" statement. In fact, it is very easy to justify denial of assistance to anyone under your description. Fine.

I am sure we could go round and round on what the term 'friend' is, and we'd never find common ground. I have helped out many people that I would casually define as 'acquaintances' for most of my life. I have offered room and board to friends of friends that had fallen on hard times. That's who I am, and I'm probably not like most. But that's fine as well.

Yes, I have friends in Costa Rica. A couple are working girls, either full time or just when they need extra money. How good a friend? Ach! Barely. But I stay in contact with them, and listen to their trials and tribulations, while thanking Gawd that I was granted an easy life.

No one needs send money to anyone who asks for it. In context of this thread, it is rarely a good idea. But before we start defining all women in one detrimented class, let's just remember that even liars sometimes tell the truth.

Actually, it's not. I have no problem donating to help earthquake victims or flood victims who suffered devastation due to things beyond their control. In fact we have on CRT. We have donated to an orphanage and earthquake victims few years ago. But sending money to a stupid puta who blew her rent money on nose candy or a new cell phone, or worse, a lazy puta who just doesn't feel like earning it because she thinks some dumb sucker will send her money is a little different than the Red Cross, in my humble opinion.

Of all the "friends" I have in Costa Rica, about 75% of the locals stand to gain something out of being my "friend" (chicas, taxi drivers, business owners, etc) which is why they are my "friend". I didn't say all, but most. I bet it is similar for you and most on this board because the people that we meet there are mostly in the course of mongering, so they are somehow tied to it.

Very very simple example: Last trip, I was with another gringo (CRT amigo) and one of those street guys came as we were about to eat. He was very friendly and "amigo this and amigo that" with the gringo I was with. My amigo promised him a sandwich or something. As we were leaving the guy was nowhere to be found, so my amigo gave the food to another street guy. About 5 minutes later, the first guy shows up and asks about his food. My amigo tells him that he gave it away to another guy since he wasn't where he was supposed to wait for him. All of sudden, no more "amigo amigo" once he didn't get what he thought he would. If you are a tourist, this is pretty much the way it works there, people are your friends as long as they get something out of it. If you live there, it's different.

I had one chica for whom I always had a soft spot. I dont even know why. I have no romantic interest. She was a good Phuck, but only slightly above average. She has milked me for small amounts over the years. I swat down most RFM's, but she always gets a little from me.

A month or so ago, she told me she had not eaten in 3 days. I believe her. She works full time at a factory for slave wages and supports the whole family. So, I sent her some money. I waited for the Xoom text message saying she had picked up the money. It never came. She never got the money. A few days later, she told me that she went to pick up the money and the next thing she knows, she wakes up in the hospital. She had passed out waiting in line to pick up the money.

I have since blocked her. But, understand that sometimes it is real desperation. Not all of them are scamming and lying. I have always donated to charities my whole life. I justify some RFM's as my charity donations for the year. I am "paying it forward" and creating good karma (I suppose).

I had a favorita message me and say she had been to the clinic here after finding a lump on her breast. They gave her an appointment to see a doctor for two years down the road. This was one that I have known for years. She told me she was afraid and asked if I could help. I did. The tumor was benign and she had the scar to prove it. She has more than paid me back before and after. Sometimes it's right to do what your heart tells you is right.

There is no easy answer. Many times what they say is true. Many times not. But in reality sometimes even the truth does not lead to a good outcome. I have sent a lot of money to a particular friend. Many of the stories were true, some were not, and the truth of the real situation was hidden from me. But the real problem was there was no viable long term plan, even if her stated feelings for me were true. It was just simply a non-viable relationship if the feelings were true, and a non-viable relationship if the feelings were not true.

So help a little... might be worth the risk. But unless you are willing to ante up about 30-50 grand US a year don't think you can really truly make it work. I K*D you not.

I had one ask me for money to buy school supplies for her K*ds. I was on my way down, so I just bought the supplies myself. She was very thankful. It is always not a scam, but I'm sure the vast majority of the requests are.

Pops gave a girl a lumpectomy. I gave a girl a colonoscopy. .... and for the same reason (long waiting periods) .

I think I had more fun.

But we both got our money's worth out of it. And the girls got a lot of "peace of mind."

The lazy unemployed boyfriends/husbands of the chicas, sincerely appreciate any amount that you can give.

I don't why you guys are complaining about $100. Wait until your chica says she HAS to have $1,000.00

A friend got tired of a chica's constant RFM's. He told her he could not send her anything, because he was working on an oil platform in the middle of the ocean.

Yep, mine said her son's emergency appendectomy cost $1,000 and she could cover half if i send $500... I politely told her i spent all my money on my trip and home repairs due to the floods in Houston a few weeks ago.

She just said, 'bien, no hay problema!' and hasn't said another word about her son, but we still talk every few days on whatsapp.

Many of our "sisters" in these latin american locales come into being and grow into adults under conditions most of us in our relatively comfortable world can hardly imagine. They grow up far faster than their counterparts in our culture, and learn very quickly what it takes to survive. I have met some incredible young women 18-21 who were extremely resourceful, some with a couple of bebes in tow. They have little support from family and culture. Latin Woman, in this economic class, are still pretty much second class citizens in varying degrees, and thus more or less on their own to fend for themselves.

One of the survival techniques they have learned is to exploit the soft hearted gringo for ready cash. The hunger, the desperation, the need, is too immediate to worry much over the moral and ethical questions over spreading their legs for us. They don't have the luxury to do this as we do. With little formal education, little opportunity to advance their station in life, no concept of saving money, they work with what they got... Their vagina. The vagina puts food on the table and they learn to exploit the lonely gringo with his soft sappy "help others in need" values. Meanwhile life goes on and "calamidades" strike on a regular basis... Cellphone robbed, K*D gets into accident, mom has cancer... Yada yada yada. Thats the normal course of things. The holy grail for these girls is to find a guy who falls hook line and sinker for their vagina and writes them a blank check. Maybe even marry them, adopt their Ch*ldren even.

Helping these girls out on whatever level is a very personal decision. And it's your money. You get to decide if and when to dole it out. They will try to convince you otherwise at every turn... Like Ch*ldren, they will test the boundaries constantly. Show weakness and they will devour you. Understand your role in the game, understand this is not love. And yes, keep the pimp hand strong, and yes remember it's only a vagina!!

Why settle for just one woman when you can enjoy them all?

Its more than just vagina. Its real sex with really beautiful young ladies. It the fountain of youth for us guys getting older. I think we get the better end of the deal. We are old, disgusting fucks in our own world. Nobody gives a shit about us. We have outlived our usefulness as cogs in the production machine. I am still amazed after 8 years in the hobby that these ladies will still willingly suck my dick.
