Rockys just chilling in the office
It's late 9 ish last night. I'm sitting at Rockys watching chicas go by. One particular chica walks by going towards the supermarket, later she passes right by again this time going towards Rumba. She slows down and smiles. She is cute, nice body. She looks like she could be Haitian (she wasnt) About 5'5" to 5'6". She was wearing flat shoes. She stops and does the typical "Whats your name, where you from?" line. I chuckled when she asked, and told her."you know where I am from".
Mistake number one. She sat down next to me. No real invite from me, but I didn't tell her not to sit either. A few minutes in I offered her a Presidente. Mistake number two. Especially since I know most of these chicas don't appreciate these gestures. And as my story will reveal, these gestures of kindness can be used against you if dealing with the wrong chica. She was one of them.
While sitting there, I asked her how much for her time if I was interested. She typed $2500 for 2 hours and $4000 for TLN. Of course she was thinking I might be a sucker who would pay that. I told her right then, I don't pay those kind of prices. Nor do most men here in Sosua. Now in her mind, she is probably thinking I have already established I might take her with me, we just have to agree on a price. She types. How much am I willing to pay?
I told her I can't tell her that. Once she gave me her price, I don't want to negotiate with her from that. Her price is her price, and thats really what she wants. I was hoping she would take that as a sign that we don't have a meeting of minds, and roll out. But she just sat there trying her best to convince me to give her a price of what I would pay. Once she realized I had my mind made up of not taking her for any price. She decided I needed to pay her some pesos for her time.
I told her I don't owe her for her anything. I did not invite her to sit down. She chose to sit down. In the back of my mind, I'm thinking that buying the cerveza wasnt really a good idea, although it could be perceived as a kind gesture. But I think offering a drink to a chica with her mindset can result in the chica thinking you have taken her off the market at that moment. So I will remember that the next time I get the urge to offer a chica a drink while she is on the prowl for clients.
I decide I had enough of this chica, and now it's beginning to turn ugly. She's getting upset, and I'm telling her she aint going to get no clients acting like that and asking those ridiculous prices. I start to walk towards Terra Linda where my car is parked. I turn my back briefly and the chica picked up the bottle and tossed on me some of what was left in her Presidente bottle. Now my attention towards her is face to face. She makes another attempt, and this splatter misses me. I start to walk towards her and she turns the bottle around as if she might throw it at me or try to club me with it.
I decided it would be best to go back inside the restaurant and just wait her out. There is definitely no money to be made if she continues arguing about getting paid for her time. Now the main reason, I let that beer shower go. Is because I suspect that things could take a drastic turn whereas I would be trying to explain my situation to un sympathetic police. She could lie and say I hit or threatened her and she was defending herself. They might arrest me, and have me now trying to sort out a much bigger problem. At the very least, they would have told me I should pay the chica and allow her to go about her business. I chose the path of least resistance, while thinking of saving my money.
Here's an example of why I chose to be passive on the matter. The dude King Kong, a prominent fixture at Rockys was sitting in Rockys as usual when a chica he knew from passing, came in Rockys and was engaging with him. She may have been talking or touching him in some way. But he got irritated by her and picked up a glass of water and threw some of the water on the chica. That gesture I believe cost him time in the lockup and / or a hefty fine in the thousands of dollar range just for tossing water on a chica.
Now imagine me going after this chica with the Presidente bottle and slapping the shit out of her because she threw some beer on me? She would have got the worst end of OUR exchange on a personal level, but thats not how the police would see it. There were at least a dozen bystanders all just looking but not remotely interested in getting involved. And even if the police were called, there is no telling what the outcome would have been. It's just like when someone has an accident, they call 911 and the police come. Thats when the lying starts. Then the police don't know who to believe. But in the DR, the chica may be favored over a foreigner who has more advantages. Because of King Kong's situation, thats why I didn't retaliate or walk away from the restaurant to allow her to feel she could throw that bottle at me, where I might forget everything and end up in deep trouble.
She eventually left, and I decided it was still kinda early, so I just sat back down and chilled some more. There were a couple of folks in Rockys. I told them jokingly ya'll all can have a cerveza, it's "on me".
Lessons learned (although all chicas arent the same)
Be leery of chicas on the prowl and allowing them to sit with you, or allow them to get in your car or come to your hotel etc.
Buying them shit could lead to problems or their assumption that you put them on the clock.
In conversation never tell them or let them know where you are staying, where you are going, or details that could be used against you.
For instance. If I mentioned anything about my car rental and let her know where it was parked nearby, she could have sought to do damage to it because she didn't get what she thought she deserved.
Your input is quite welcome
[QUOTE=Puntz79; 1484550]That's just bad luck, sorry you had that experience. I get worried the same thing will happen to me, even though it has not yet. Sometimes a chica will come over and start talking and I will let her know I am not interested or I just want to drink by myself. Most of the time they will take the hint and go away. Very rarely do I have to repeat this, but it can happen.
I think the main concern is a chica thinking she is being lead on and then her time is wasted so she gets nothing from it, after all time is money here. But then again, she initiated wasting her time by wasting yours first. And then gets upset / angry about it. Funny / Interesting and sad how that works. I think you handled it properly though. But we definitely need to take these things into account, we are not locals and are always seen as walking ATMs. Everyone should have a great time but be cautious and chicas view you like this and if one is it interested it is best to make that clear from the start and walk away or just not answer them if they are persistent.[/QUOTE]Thanks for sharing. I realized buying this particular chica was not helping the situation. But it didn't turn bad until I let her know I wasnt interested in being with her for any price. Moreover I don't know how she would have conducted herself when it came to getting down to business. Her showing out was a good thing. Because I was attracted to her. But her price was a red flag that she was bad news, and how she likely looked at me as a sucker when her brain decided that 2500/4000 was a fair price.
