I know a gringo dentist in his sixties who has a Paisa girlfriend half his age who has a daughter that he has known for like 4 years. About three years ago he bought a Penthouse apartment in Poblado which they have lived in together for over three years.
I believe under Colombian law that after two years of a couple living together, they are considered married, and if and when she want's to split, she is entitled to half of everything in Colombia if she decides to pursue this.
I brought this up to him, and he seemed resigned to it possibly happening.
He's loaded as well, and perhaps for some of the most wealthy, it's just chump change to them, and worth the happiness.
Like many of us, we use our small heads when we get enamored with some of these women.

What's funny is that people will talk about how terrible prostitution is because it's soul-crushing, dirty, whatever and then walk past 3 female janitors who spend 8 - 12 hours per day for less than minimum wage literally cleaning up other people's sh*t and not give them a second thought. So is the concern really, truly about everyone in the world having a high paying, clean, sophisticated job?

Posts: 309Marrying a Paisa (Not me hehe)
A webcam girl I've known for a few years just hit the gringo jackpot. She about to marry a 60 something West Coast guy whose pockets are loaded. They've known each other for less than 1 year. She has an American credit card, about to go through the visa process, and goes on spending sprees with him. I know this firsthand since I used to mess with her back then and we kept in touch.
I went to visit her barrio and her place is all decked out. A total 180 from a year ago when I was last there. It went from a small bare bones no furniture house to a full fledge penthouse haha no joke. I guess no such thing as building permits in Medellin. She’s smart, she keeps the outside modest, but inside it’s a like a high end Poblado spot. I see pictures of them in seemingly monthly vacations. I'm happy for her, but damn. My fellow gringo, if you are on this board (I highly doubt he is), DON'T DO IT! But do what makes you happy. Just knowing who she is, not sure how long this engagement / marriage will last. Funny thing, I know and talk to her family when I visit and I said your daughter / niece is the luckiest girl in the barrio and they all agreed hehe.
Today, I saw a fellow American or Canadian Chino in his 30's roaming around alone in my neck of the woods. Not sure if he's on this forum, but sorry bro, I already called dibs on the northern suburbs hehe. I kindly ask you to go back down south for your safety, and please leave your cargo shorts at home. But if we cross paths again, I'll buy you a beer hehe.

That's why I said girls get paid "peanuts" for sex - bcos they are selling peanuts. It may as well be. There is no material difference. In fact, the coffee and candy girls in El Centro are living proof!
IMO.
And what's more, if I felt like you do, I doubt that I would monger.

Consider the work you do. Is everyone who does the same work paid the same price? If you earn above average, should you be paid less? If you work on something for 4 hours, should you receive the same amount as someone who put in 45 minutes? If your work is always to the highest standards, should you only be paid as much as the guy who needs constant supervision?
If you're responsible for hiring workers, do you only consider the people who will accept the lowest pay? If you did, would you expect the same production as the people who expect more?
In my experience, when I provide a better work environment and pay better, the results outweigh the costs. When I was hiring workers almost every day, I provided water and Gatorade and I paid more with incentives for a job well done. If needed I would buy lunch. Usually jobs were finished quicker with less problems. The next time I needed someone in that town, one phone call would get me the best people and my overall costs were the same or better than if I paid the lowest rate. Another bonus, I didn't have to work as hard.
I use the same philosophy with girls. I stay in nice places, at a reasonable price. I pay more for girls to come to me, on my schedule. I could pay much less in El Centro, but the environment is not as good as, the time is not as long, the typical girl is not as attractive and the average level of service is less. Plus, I'm limited to who is available at that moment.
I'm not saying everyone should do what I do, stay where I stay and pay what I pay. Instead everyone should do what works best for them and recognize that other people want different things and will be paying different prices.

That housekeeper is not only getting a regular paycheck, she's working a regular schedule and she's getting the transportation subsidy. With a regular schedule, she can work something out with a friend, or relative to watch her kids each day. She can take buses and the Metro and save a lot on transportation. She's probably also getting one free meal per day at work.
The street girls and casa girls might be able to work out the same deal and use public transportation, but they don't have the steady income.
The Facebook girls never know when they will work. If they need a babysitter, it's not as easy. They probably can't use public transportation because it takes too long, or isn't available for really late citas. They often need to get showered and ready with almost no notice. Plus they are on their own. A street girl or casa girl is in an environment with some protection. A Facebook girl is going to meet a complete stranger in an unknown place, with more risks involved. One common risk is that they'll arrive and the customer isn't there, sticking them with 2 expensive taxi rides and no money to pay.
It would be much simpler if we could just treat all the girls like a gumball machine. You put in a coin, twist the knob and you get a gumball. It might be a different color, with a different flavor, but everything else will be the same.
There's so much more to it.
The easiest way is to take a look in the mirror. Most of us spent many years earning a living. Some are still working, while the rest are enjoying retirement. Most of us weren't the lowest paid in our chosen profession. Where would each of us be if our earning potential had remained the same as the lowest paid workers? We probably wouldn't be arguing about the price of pussy in other countries, because travel wouldn't be in our budget.
I'm guessing each of us can justify why we deserve (or deserved) to be paid more than entry level. Better performance, more reliable, better at thinking outside the box, or working for a more profitable business are all good reasons. I doubt if many here can look back to their first paycheck and laugh at how much we are overpaid now.
Apply that elsewhere. Grocery prices are cheaper in the poorest parts of the city, property values too. A Mercedes costs more than a Kia.
Why should a girl who services you in a grubby room for 30 minutes be paid the same as a girl who comes to your apartment and stays for 3 hours? Why should a girl who looks like she just stepped off the runway in Milan be paid the same as a woman who looks like she's applying to be Danny DeVito's stunt double? Why would you pay the same for a girl who gives you the fast food restaurant level of service and for a girl with 2 Michelin stars?
Why would the women who get paid more for providing more, be laughing? Anyone here make a habit of laughing at how foolish your boss was each time you got a raise, promotion or bonus? I admit to feeling a bit giddy when I got my most recent raise, but I'm not laughing at my boss.
I don't understand why a girl I paid 200 k (or more) would be seeing another gringo for 30-70 k. Then she's going to laugh with him about me paying her so much more? While she likely is offering a lower price for Colombians, she's probably not telling them she's got a bunch of money in her pocket. Not unless she wants to get fucked and robbed.
Everyone should be figuring out the price that works for them, then find the girls who will accept that price. If you can't find acceptable girls at that price, you can keep looking. After all, there's supposedly no difference between the girls getting $500 a session and the girls getting 30 k.

So I cannot tell you how many times a cabbie will say a ride is 20 mil and my gal will chime in and say, "No, that is a 10 mil ride" and scold the cabbie in her motherly "I am so ashamed of you" voice. Those cabbies sink down in their seats after being busted, and after that happens, I assure you the cabbie is not laughing but I am.

No idea how it makes your life better to walk into McDonald's and pay $10 for a Big Mac that says $3 on the menu, but as I said it will give you are warm and fuzzy feeling, but you will get the same 2 beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese as everyone else that stood in line and paid $3.
Don't worry though. The locals are getting the same thing from laughing at you as you are getting for paying three times more; nothing.

When it happened to me in the US some of us were pulled aside just before boarding. Carry on baggage was checked and we were either frisked or scanned with the metal detector wand. In my case I believe I was selected because I changed my flight at the last minute.
I'm a bit paranoid about missing my flight because of something beyond my control, so I usually arrive about 2 hours early. That time, once I arrived I realized there was an earlier flight available and was able to switch at no cost.
