Club guys can be lone wolves too...
[QUOTE=Unspongebob]Dare I say, club guys are much more sociable, and enjoy the comradery of other mongers. The bar scene is the venue where the comradery is available. That is the one and only reason he makes that effort at all, not for any self serving monetary advantage. I would not expect you to understand. You don't care about the comradery between mongers. That is not a slam to what you prefer with respect to mongering, but it just demonstrates that your evolution in the hobby is such that you do not apparently appreciate the satisfaction of attending the clubs beyond just the obvious.[/QUOTE]
I actually am not more sociable. But I get your point because a lot of guys do like to monger in with others and have a camaraderie of it all (the king of all of this happens with CRT members at Hotel Del Rey in Costa Rica...those guys spend all their time shooting the breeze while I swoop in and bang the girls)
I like the socialness of the bar scenes because I can buy a girl a drink and chat them up to get a feel for her personality and attitude. If there's not a spark, I send her on her way and get another until I find someone that will work. I also like the clubs with dancers because you can seem them naked so there's no surprises on the body department in the room. Being with dudes just gets in my way. In the places I've gone in the world I've pretty much researched it on the monger boards and go on my own. I do run into guys in the bar that want to chat me up but often times they'll be there at the wrong time when I'm hunting.
I try and post to the boards and answer people's questions as a way of paying back the community for all the help I got back in the day. I don't usually seek out meetups with posters here. Notable exceptions is I did meet up with MonterreyDude a few times. I also met up with Blourghus in Tijuana. And I try to meet up with them when they're in my town (TJ) or I'm in MTY. I missed meeting USB by a day or two one time I was in Monterrey.
In Mexico, I've only indulged in Massage Parlors in the DF...place called Action Sports Spa near the Four Seasons. I've enjoyed them in Costa Rica and Thailand as well. . The places that have the fishbowl lineup helps me satisfy my physical needs, but you can't get a good read on personality.
And with escorts you have to worry about bait and switch or wondering if there's an ugly face under that pixelated face. And again, no chance to get a good read of personality.
The boystowns in Reynosa and Nuevo Laredo have value priced door girls. Tijuana has the infamous alley girls. Although some of the girls are drop dead gorgeous, I still don't get a read of the personality I can over a chela or two.
So give me a bar any day. Which is why I love MTY so much. Enough of some of the most beautiful girls in the bars to keep my busy for years. My only complaint it is it too hot in the summer and too far away to visit more frequently.
But what makes the hobby so good is there's something for everyone. If a guy doesn't like the bars scene, that just means there's more girls for me.
