Posts: 363It is not just negotiating about money. They will set down ultimatums and then refuse to negotiate. Same mentality. Lose-lose again. For example, some girls will insist on using condom for oral sex but they themselves don't actually do this but during discussions they will refuse to back down or compromise. It seems they pick a position and stick to it, no matter what. Later, they ignore what they had fought for.
Still, it seems to me half the price of Colombia overall so I don't agree with the guy that said it was twice the price of Colombia.

Posts: 363Why are Cubans so rigid in negotiating?
"they are demanding ("demanding" is the right word, because they are very inflexible when negotiating) ".
Why do you think they are so rigid about negotiating? I found this as well. Since I like to be dominant, this led to me kicking out numerous girls. This was a lose-lose-- they got zero dollars and I got zero sex. If they had been a bit more willing to negotiate, we could have both been happy.
It must have something to do with Communism?

Posts: 417 days in Havana
Just came from Havana.
Positives:
1. Very affordable Airbnb. I was staying in The Old Town where you can walk by foot everywhere. For 50 $/ night me and my buddy enjoyed a sparkling clean two floor spacious apartment with two separate bedrooms and 2. 5 bathrooms. Private entrance allowed us to bring girls without any problems. Studios and 1 bedrooms can be rented as low as 20-25 $.
2. Beautiful beaches. Do yourself a favor. Spend some time in Varadero or if you can, go to Cayo coco islands.
3. Lots of music.
4. Relatively safe streets.
Negatives:
1. Lving in Havana is harsh. If you are a foreign tourist. Be prepared to be taken advantage of everywhere and pay crazy prices for everything. From a bottle of water to taxi ride. When you take into the account $110 I paid for visa delivered to my home priore to the trip (can be purchsed cheaper at the Havana airport) and the horrible 1 $ - to - 0. 86 cuc exchange rate, than a week in Havana cost me almost twice then a week in Medellin.
2. The girls, are hard to find and they are not as adventurous and passionate about sex as Colombians, and even as Dominicans. On top of that, they are demanding ("demanding" is the right word, because they are very inflexible when negotiating) around 100 cuc (read 115 $) for 2 hours and 150 for the all night. Luckily, planning my trip, I built connections with a few girls using my favorite SeekingArrangement site. Although there are very few Havana girls on that site, that helped me a lot. It practically allowed me to stay away from street strolling looking for girls. The main problem in Cuba for mongering is that prostitution is illegal. Hence the higher prices and lower quality. The country is very poor and surely there are girls who would be interested in transactional relationships, but I wouldn't suggest Cuba for newbie mongers with limited spanish.
I just wanted to visit Cuba for a while. I did it and I think I am now good. Not planning to return any time soon.

Posts: 250Beyond the Usual?
Hey guys. Long time, no post.
I will be back in Havana again soon. OK, it's not what it was back in the early 2000's. Not for mongering. On the bright side, things are a bit better for the people there.
I must confess that I do miss the old mongering scene. Around2000 was shooting fish in barrel.
But here we are today. And I have soe questions for the guys who have been spending time in Havana the last few months:
Any good pickup spots, apart from the obvious?
Is pico blanco open and is it any good these days? I always thought it wasn't very good.
How good or bad is the scene along la rampa, including la gruta and any other bars.
Any bars of note with a good pickup scene?
Or, what's your preferred approach? Pick up at night? Pick up daytime? Centro? Old Havana? La Rampa? Malecon?
Share your input guys, and please let's leave the politics and other talk aside for a minute.
I'll report back fellas!
Thanks!
MjT.

Posts: 505I miss Cuba with an intense Passion!
Last time I was there the invasion has just begun and as always excellent times and memories.
However, Cuba is suffering now! Brazil kicked all of Cuba medical missions (biggest moneymaker After tourism) Venezuela can't help Cuba with trade and fuel because of the current trade embargo and economy depression of Venezuela. And Trump reversed most of Obama's travel policies to Cuba!
All of that I would imagine will make it a buyers market! So who's an experienced Cuba monger who is now or recently been to Cuba and can compare and contrast the mongering scene.
P.S.: Two things I miss about Cuba, cubanas and cigars! And I'm against smoking!

Posts: 61Hired wingmen / winggirls?
Almost every bit of success I have had in Cuba was from a hired wingman / winggirls. One was a "tourguide" I hired in Havana for USD 70 per WEEK plus fuel that had an old beat up Chevy back in 2007. I told him that he got a $20 tip every day that he got me a chica that I liked for a good price. It was almost like ordering a pizza. He asked me if I liked tall or short, light or dark skinned, etc.
In Santa Clara, I approached honest looking young couples and made the same offer. I also had a casa owner and past-prime cleaning lady take me up on the same offer. Those were in 2017 and 2018. It seems that hiring wingmen / winggirls is a better idea than risk being a nuisance by propositioning random chicas.
The only nuisance was from the casa owner that convinced the chica that she would need her own room to avoid being at risk of getting in trouble with the police. Maybe he was right, but I didn't like being on the hook for an extra room and extra meals. Even so, the non-pro chica was worth it.
I plan on visiting Holguin next year. I wonder if the same strategy will pay off.

Just a heads up.
Multi-millionaire John McAfee is now living in Havana Cuba. His Sail Boat is docked at the Ernest Hemingway Marina.
The US Government has issued an arrest warrant against McAfee, several charges including murder and Tax evasion.
John has announced that he will be running for the President of the United States of America in 2020.
He has been posting weekly podcast from Havana, here's his latest one -.

Posts: 45Ty Town, I've been to LOS Amigos several times after seeing them on Anthony Bourdain, and it always hits the spot, awesome pics BTW! Except for the hairy one, LMFAO.
Gents they have a very basic version of YELP, like a fraction of the options, but helps find food easily, install Alamesa app on you phones, I've found a couple nice restaurants through them. Some are hard to get a seat in, because the tables are made for 2+ people, I went by myself once before and next trip will probably be by myself again.
Also there are very basic breakfast spots that serve eggs and toast for 4-6 cucs you find them along the way surrounding nacional, its the type of place where you don't remember actual names, just the location.
This country requires a lot of footwork, make sure to bring your best sneakers.
If you want a simple breakfast while on the go, the huge big green high rise in viewing distance of national, has a food stand right on the bottom, they sell ham and cheese sandwich for about 10-15 cups, and they also have someone selling potato croquites as well. I also found sandwiches with mayo and ham, 1 cuc for two, was good eats late night after quite a few drinks, simple but gets the job done.
Another light snack is the hotdogs, by the popular ice cream spot along La rampa 23, again its a snack, not dinner.
On my last trip I found an Italian inspired spot, around the corner from the La Rampa Salsa spot, down the block or two from the malecon, don't remember around which side of the corner, but it was descent and affordable.
I don't go to the high end places, if I want steak, lobster or anything else exquisite, we have the best all here in the states.
I'm salivating just thinking about the food and cigars.
