General Reports

PLM, haha, noted.

No I don't think I am at that point, but good to know how the hispanic culture and latina expectations can be like.

I do think LTCR is a great way to continue this relationship at the time being, its not like I have anything else besides poor espanol to offer her at this time.

[QUOTE=Phordphan; 1193901]Pathetic Loser Monger. Generally a guy who thinks his hooker "GF" loves him, he knows he loves her, he spends money on her constantly, buys her anything she wants, follows her around like a puppy, etc, etc. Maybe not all of the above, but you get the idea. You've seen 'them. And SEA is full of 'them, too. Guys that send beaucoup bux to some BG, every month, because she promised him that she loved only him, would stop peddling her ass and move home and wait only for him.

In my experience, the Tijuana working ladies don't want a BF as you and I define BF. I like to call it a LTCR, or Long Term Commercial Relationship. If you get along well, and "click," you may become one of her "faves." When you visit you'll have a good time, do interesting things, have a lot of fun in and out of la cama. But, at the end of the day, money will always change hands. The amount may change, but it will never go away. Unless you tell her you love her, you put a ring on her finger, move to Mexico and support her.

One example is my fave who retired to Chiapas several years ago. She enjoyed my visits because she didn't have to spend another long night in the club, with the noise and the cig smoke, etc. In her words, she could "relax, have good sex, have a good time." Not too long into this LTCR, it became "whatever you can pay me," which I liked. But, regardless of the good time, there was always payment due. She had to pay the rent and send money home.

So, if this sort of arrangement suits you, then the Tijuana girls may be right up your alley. But a true BF / GF or FWB arrangment is much more difficult to find.[/QUOTE]

These girls are screwing strangers as fast as they can, every day, to help their families survive. Even if she likes a guy, she probably can't afford to take the night off to have a good time with him, without making any $ that day.

[QUOTE=Daytonamonger;1193766]I don't post an awful lot. But I also want to warn guitar that maybe 0. 5% of these women are looking for a real gringo boyfriend. Don't go all PLM on us and start throwing bad money after good on a GFE experience. Just go and enjoy Tijuana for what it is. When you start looking for a girlfriend in a working girl. You're going to walk away dissappointed 99. 5 percent of the time![/QUOTE]I think. 5% is on the high side. I think if you can speak spanish you're golden in getting the women in Tijuana, if not maybe hang out at the english schools? Ha ha. Tijuana is definetely not like Asia, it's way way easier there. I would say if you rate on a scale of 1 to 10 how hard it is to pick up a girl 10 being easiest, Asia is an 11, Tijuana is a 4, US averages around a 1-2, Costa Rica is like a 6. If I could find a local girl to me that only speaks spanish and I pay her to screw and learn spanish for like a couple hours a week man would that be an idea situation. Oh yeah Guitar guy check out craigslist I found a couple college hotties wanting to charge 10 / hr for teaching spanish, unfortunately I don't have the ability to pursue a real GF right now or that would be a great way to meet a girl and learn something at the same time. I need to be single for like 3 months before I really get my tiger like ability to pounce on single girls, I haven't had a drought for years and it really is making me lazy with the ladies.

Hey MG, mind PMing me examples of some of those links?

All jokes / mongering aside, I think the private tutoring will do me well and the price is in my range.

Back to the mongering side, I have txted my ATF a few times over the last 2 days and even I am starting to get bored of myself, maybe she's too busy to answer or can't be bothered, who knows, BTW, does anyone know if / how much it costs them to receive a text message on their phones?

[QUOTE=Madisonguy;1194015]Oh yeah Guitar guy check out craigslist I found a couple college hotties wanting to charge 10 / hr for teaching spanish.[/QUOTE]Indeed, please share the links of the tutors. I've been looking on Craigslist for over two weeks, and all I found was some old hags charging 30-40 bucks per hour. So, if you would, please share.

If craigslist isn't workin for you post at the local latin store, you could also find a maid for cheap that way. I pay $8 / hr for someone to clean my house. The latin store can be more time consuming because if you're looking for a hottie to teach you spanish I'm guessing it's about a 1/10 ratio because that is about ratio for house cleaning people being hot, maybe it would be a little better for spanish.

I recommend [url]http://www.speakshop.com/.[/url] Speakshop offers live, one-on-one, video lessons with teachers in Guatemala. They have several of them. The teachers are trained language teachers, and while they have little English, most of their students (both online and in person) are English speakers and they have lots of experience bridging the language gap in their lessons.

Last time I looked, it was like $5 an hour, and I think you buy several hours up front. The money is split between the teacher and the school she works for, which is usually PROBIGUA, a non-profit language school whose proceeds benefit the Guatemelan Library Project (they build libraries in rural parts of the country to give children access to books and computers).

By the way, spent last night at the Hacienda de Santiago. Everyone warned me about the noise, but I didn't listen. So I spent all last night listening. To the noise. People in the streets shouting up at guests. Car alarms going off. Motor cycles. More car alarms. And really shabby towels.

Staying at the Ticuan now. I think it's worth the dinero.

My subliminal message didn't work. Ticuan is very important which room you stay in, if you are on the Revolution side it will be fairly loud also. Also you don't want to be on the inside you want to have a window outside, the ones inside have plumbing noise per other posters.

When I was there earlier in the year it was not (I was disappointed, but not severely inconvenienced. Another customer was downright irate).

The last few times I have stayed at the Ticuan, the wifi worked really well. Make sure you get the password from the receptionist. Also, I believe they have a different password for each floor, but the receptionist will let you know.

If not, they cannot receive the message but can receive a "call" for about a minute to 90 seconds before they are cut off.

You also need to make sure it has the 1 for example to Tijuana it is 011 521 664 xxx xxxx not sure the 1 is required for textos but for voice it is.

[QUOTE=Guitarrefreak;1193694]To be honest, I don't think I need a gf down there, I just need a person to play the role of a gf so that every once in a while, when I cannot handle reality back home, I can escape down there.[/QUOTE]Hey Guitar I think you hit the nail right on the head. I couldn't really figure out exactly what I was looking for in a relationship down in Tijuana. I do know I wanted something other than just sex. And to have someone down there I can connect with it does make a great place to go to escape that reality at home. So hopefully by all of us sharing info on here we can all learn a little more about those mysterious chicas south of the border. The one thing I did do differently when I found a girl I connected with is I left sex out of the equation for about the first 7 months. Eventually she was begging to go to the room I would always come up with some excuse. At one point she was like lets go to the room NADA and she said she would pay for the room. But nothing happened as far as sex until after we went on a date away from the club. Not sure if that is a good formula to get a GF type but I would be curious to hear what others have to say. These days she never asks for money and she will spend the whole night with me. But of course nothing is free, I wish I could say she slowly sips her ficha drinks when I go to see her while she is working but thats not the case.

As this relationship continues I'am just looking for insight into the best way to treat her. I have found many times with American woman many times you can treat them like a queen and you will get nowhere as soon as you treat them like shit they come around. I am always on alert worried about being used but this one seems different. Today she texted me to see if I was still coming this week (Iam suprised she even remembered since I just threw a date out there a few weeks ago). I asked her if she needed anything for her daughter starting school again, and she said No gracias. So she doesn't seem to want to take advantage of my kindness. Maybe she is still grooming me, something CJ has warned me about or maybe she is just working on an exit strategy from the bar scene.

Oh yea one more thing I do agree that the key here is being able to communicate so I'am going to have to learn the language. On my next visit since it will be extended over a couple days it will be interesting to see how much time she sets aside for me. I didn't even warn her I would be there for a few days so that should tell me someting. So if I can ask a favor of a spanish speaker I'am going to need to learn how to say " Can you meet me later at." or "when can I see you?" I stopped trusting those online translators since they have messed me up a couple times.

Gents,

I am due for a 3 days weekend to go south of border from my last time July 4, 2011.

I arrived in Zona norte around 7pm. Friday 2 and check in my room at Rizo de Oro,

This hotel is above Tropical bar. The front desk guy said my $25 USD room Not ready,

So he sold me a nice room with zacuzzi for $30 USD a night. I was at pleasant surprise,

This room is worth $ 60 USD at fair market price. However, I Got it cheap through Internet

Reservations. First stop for the Night was at Tropicaj bar and I met a girl I was with

Last time, of course, I try the room with nice jacuzzi and Heaven time for 45 minutes, BBJ,

Full Services for 500 Pesos. Of course, I Did not have to pay extra for the room.

On Saturday, I went to Aztec for the massages at $25 USD an hour. It was just normal Good relax

And I was sure pleased with the girl who worked hard for a $5usd propina!

I checked out HK. Bar and it was full house with guys and all Chicas beatifull as usual.

I Did Not take any girl out because the Girls quote around 80usd plus room cost.

BTW, there was plenty of Street Girls hungry to work for Food at $20 USD.

I went to ST. Girl this time and It was Okay, a bargain for $ 20 USD. Plus $6usd room.

Sunday was another visit Aztec for massage after Church Visit and a lunch at Pollo Chico.

I went to Adelita to see what was new. It was None of my liking, Girsl were just average

And I Did not bother ask the price. HK girls are a Notch ot 2 above Adelita to me

I went back to Tropical bar for the girl I know and again, A Heaven time in my Jacuzzi room.

Three full Nights in T. J. Sure Did the job for me. I was head back home in the morning of Monday

To beat crazy traffic on Labor day evening.

Thanks for the input, I do have that "1" when I dial to them, I know they receive my txts

My ATF has been awfully quiet, which is a bit of a bummer, but inline with what the other members have said, these chicas sure as hell are unpredictable, I guess one just has to be prepared for these kind of roller coaster longing rides.
