You should check La prensa dot com and click sucesos. This will give you a better idea of what to expect and avoid.

Posts: 230Haven't heard any problems but the common street variety hanging on the corner and walking along 1st street likely would present a problem. The homeless, crackheads, and criminal types are the ones likely turned away. Also, it hasn't been reported yet, but the bacalao is no more. It has been torn down! A couple of us gringos were entertaining the idea of buying, but really, with tourism so low and this place needing so much money invested in improvement. We decided against it. Word is not only the tax man cometh, the gangs were starting to shake him down too.

Posts: 230This is the point I tried to make. This place is downright dangerous, and if by the remote possibility some chica you are interested in dating turns out to be the novia, ex-novia, or even hermana of someone involved in shady stuff, you know exactly what is going to happen.
The tourist's who visit for a week likely never watch the noticias, or pick up a newspaper. Others are in their relatives barrios, where they may be safe with whoever it is recognized as a vecino, but running solo would present a major safety concern. You live here now and you are very aware of your well being.
There's a lot of women out there just looking for a novio to take care of them and these are good girls. You know the drill. You're going to do just fine. My best luck was always the grocery store. These chicas do have to eat. Semana Santa is the first week of April, and many women hit the beaches in Tela and Ceiba. Not the best time in San pedro Sula to find anything other than exactly what you were describing. Bueno suerte.

I mostly hide inside every night and don't even go out. La Zona Viva is crazy and kinda shady. Narcos hang out there. I don't know that it would be necessary to monger or pay anyone though, since there are enough freebies. I saw some nice ladies on the arm of some gringo from Chicago though. Long legs and everything. You have to be careful these aren't the narcos girlfriend high on candy and horny. Then you're in real trouble.

Posts: 230There are many goregous women in Honduras. Seems at times, the photo does appear a litte scary. But again, a lot of decent looking women. In all my time in Honduras, I've never heard anything about a dose of venereal disesase, and most friends here appear to go backback. SO much crack use here; condom best way to handle it and be sure.
These Latina's will exploit any weakness you may have. You'll find yourself in the same category as an overused snot rag. They are well aware that money does not grow on trees, but there's those little machines that dispense money to gringo's all the time. You can not sexually harass a latina; she has used sex to gain whatever she desired all her life.
Crime is horrible though. Prepare yourself. Dodge City and no Matt Dillon. Armed robbery is a daytime job here.

Posts: 86Looks like I'm moving out there in a month. I have no experience with these latina women and am not even sure I have a "taste" for them yet because they look so. Strong featured. I don't know.
I don't want to be rude about anyone sharing pictures here but those women look a little rough around the edges. I'm really worried about moving to the Murder / HIV capital of the world here. Ugh.

Posts: 230Things have become worse in Honduras. Crime is definitely out of control. The newspaper has a map in it for San pedro Sula, and shows crime that was reported overnight. A normal day was 12-15 murders, but it has gone up to 25. Assausts runnnig close to this and remember, this is 'reported' crime. Most go unreported because of low conviction rate, retaliation and revenge killings, cops that don't do their job, and why bother. Who really cares anyhow because they'll never find them or bother looking.
We used to think San pedro was one of the worse places in Honduras but in the last year, La Ceiba has come to be as dangerous as the big city. The mara's are everywhere. And it's difficult finding a decent neighborhood to live because that element is already there and getting worse.
I live in Ceiba and thought I was safe behind the confines of my apartment which is basically a fortress. How wrong I was. If there's a will, there's a way and they are going to get into it and take whatever they can carry. Took 7 years to finally affect me. The loss was minimal, but it is the very idea they got into your home. Sort of violated.
Anyhow, your concern is understandable; pick where you live carefully, always be aware of your surroundings, never flash wealth, and most importantly, never ever bring a pick up to your home.

Posts: 86Thinking about taking a job here and reading these comments scare me. I'm mostly used to mongering in the Middle East and E. Europe. This seems a whole different level. Luckily I've never dressed nice so looking poor won't be a problem but I really would prefer not to be killed.

Posts: 323San Pedro scene
FillyChaser, if San Pedro's your scene, how 'about giving us the lowdown? Do you have a car down there? That's unusual. Where are you living? How is El Progreso? Where's the good action in San Pedro?

Posts: 37Comayagua Scene
yesterday i visited comayagua solely for exploration purposes. i must admit a complete lack of planning prior to going. there is nothing current in the ff. so, armed with a change of clothes and a couple of bucks i drove overthere.
as your are on the highway from san pedro sula to tegucigalpa, the first entrance to comayagua will be at the first gas station. as u-turn please note the sports lounge on the right. this is important, because this lounge picks up speed as the night wears on, and when everything else begins to close, this place just becomes full of people. although i drove by it a couple of times, i did not go in, although i did notice talent kept going in and coming out.
the locals call this street the boulevard, and about three blocks in is the hotel emperador, which is supposedly the best one there. of course it was full! i actually stayed at hotel morales, which was just ok. in any case about two block further from hotel emperador on the left you will see a karaoke bar with taxis and girls on the outside. if you make a left on that street, the next building is cocodrilo night club. this place actually reminded me of some ensenada night clubs. with a stage and a bunch of seats in front. beers were 40lemps for guys and 80 lemps for the chicks. the chicks ran from a 3 to about a 7. obviously they looked better later on. take out was $75 although i did not test it. the vip is simple, your beer price goes to 80lemps and you must buy the chick a 100 lemps drink. this is a lower class joint, but no worse than fiesta in san pedro. i did feel quite safe there.
there is another strip joint in comayagua. it is on the main highway almost directly across from pizza hut, and it is called billys barra show. sadly the talent there was quite lacking, top girl there maybe a 5 or 6 after a night of drinking. worse, when i went in they did not have change for 100 lemp note, and they a 40 lemps cover charge? the people running it were not unpleasant.
what most impressed me of comayagua was that it seemed quite safe for either driving or walking. there is actually night life in comayagua, and it concentrates several discos and bars in the vicinity of the cathedral and park, all of which is well maintained, well lit, and well guarded by private parties and police. i haven't felt that ambiance in san pedro or teguz. i recommend it for amateur pussy hunting, whether local or tourist.
i posted here because i consider san pedro sula my city, and this might be of interest to our group.
