General Info

I tried some of the US products from the Amigos company and I was underwhelmed. More and more I find American women to be underwhelming, so maybe that's a contributing factor.

As far as CyberCupido goes, I haven't had any discussions about money with anyone, and when something comes up I don't want to discuss - "no intiendo".

Besides the opportunity to have female contacts when I get to Peru, CyberCupido is also an excellent way to practice my Spanish. It's more fun to chat with a pretty girl than repeating "Pardon me. Where is the post office?"

I have a vacation coming up and was thinking of Peru, possible Lima.
Been to Honduras and Domican Republic quite a few times and want something new.

I am thinking of Lima but what section of town or what part to avoid.

When I hit town I don't want to spend a couple of days trying to find the red light section.

Hey Corn, long time - no hear. I used to live in La Cieba and traded a few emails with you back in 2002 or so. I live in Lima now and it is completely different than Honduras and DR. If you're looking for something similar or even if you're not, I wouldn't recommend it as a vacation destination. PM for more details if interested.

most of the guys that rent out the penthouse seem to all use latinamerican cupid. i had great success with it four years ago and it is actually the reason i ended up living here. i have not been on in some time but i imagine it is pretty "fished out" now with the exception of chicas who have just joined.

the current favorites for the regulars are "my space" and "hi 5". in the past when the "casting agency" was up above cafe z the models were abundant and readly available. we would regularly see miss world and it is where my buddy started dating the current "2nd place" miss peru.

the agency has since moved and you no longer see the models down there. now guy's come down and go online all day "phishing" with good results. my buddy was here (z) yesterday and got some beautiful 24y/o university student to come over from the other side of the city while i was online with another isg'r.

his mo is to speed date these chics online and then invite them down. he talked to her twice online and she finally came down. he bought her a lemonada here and then took her to the flying dog for some wine. she had only been with one other guy in her life and told him "online" she would only "shag" for love. well i guess she fell in love with the wine and i am looking forward to the video!

as discussed yesterday at hooters, see url below for supposed wireless locations... note: accuracy of list questionable.

by the way, it was good to meet everybody.

(LIP-jl) -- The song "It never rains in Southern California," by Albert Hammond could easily be the official motto for Lima (though a more appropriate title would be "It never rains in the city of Lima") due to Lima's desert-like weather.

However, yesterday a weather system from the central Andes was blown into Lima by strong winds, causing rain and thunder in and around the coastal-desert province.

Chosica, just minutes outside of Lima, saw residents scrambling for cover when heavy rain, thunder, and lighting doused the usually sunny community.

Luckly for me I was caught in a bar yesterday afternoon and this rare occurrance was the perfect excuse to arrive home late for dinner!

Hey Guys!

I knew about this site but never joined. I want to introduce myself and begin to enjoy life as some of you are.

I live up in New York, and planing a trip to Peru by the end of January. I seen the postings and plan to use the advise there.

Hope all have a great New Year!

Juancito 2006

I've been working on my Spanish a bit with some girls from CyberCupido, but I didn't really make but one contact I thought was worthwhile. I got a lot of messages, but when I would reply I never heard from most of the girls. Oh well.

Something funny happened recently, however. I was chatting with one girl in a country I won't be visiting soon, but we were having good conversations and I was hitting her up for information on the Latina mindset.

I don't play hard to get, but come out up front and say I am unlikely to get emotionally involved with any girl, which is true. I guess this is like catnip because the girl has been really persistent in trying to build my interest. After not chatting for a week we got together on IM and she sent some photos of her in a bikini, which she does often. I made the comment "the next thing I know you'll be sending me nude photos." and laughed it off.

She told me her ex boyfriend had taken some nudes of her, and the next thing I know she sends me a split beaver photo. We spent the rest of the afternoon sharing our sex preferences and making plans for when we finally get together. Too sweet. Later on I mentioned if she ever felt the urge to send more nude photos to feel free.

So maybe CyberCupido isn't the best place to make contacts, but for me it has turned out pretty nice.

I've done the Cybercupido thing a couple of times before trips, also in between to potentially meet women, improve my Spanish and pass the time. In general it's been a monumental waste of time. Women I contacted in Cartagena and Medellin prior to trips turned out less attractive in person than the photos. The extremely attractive ones typically didn't reply or would flake out. If you're looking for a really hot woman, it's probably better going through the matrimonial agencies than Cybercupido, as you've got a pool of women that are actually interested in meeting extranjeros.

I did make a trip to Argentina to meet a sweetheart that contacted me on Cybercupido, but later felt like sh*t after she realized we weren't going to be novio and novia and she felt like she'd been used. Actually, she sounds a little like your new friend. Gaby sent me some risque fotos, told me she was very liberal sexually, but still was upset after I left Argentina and told her I'd met someone locally. Actually, before we met, she wanted us both to get internet video cams and get naked online. I was too lazy to get the equipment though.

I think Cybercupido probably is good if you want to get sex for free and aren't worried about the repercussions when she realizes that's what you were after. After my Argentine experience I'd rather pay, oh, say $250 instead of doing that.

That said, hope you'll keep us updated, let us know what she's like when you meet her.

i've had pretty good luck with cyber cupidio and amigos. last time to peru i coughed up the monthly membership and the free contact fee which i think pushed it to about $40 bucks and got about six solid leads, of which i followed up on three. quite honestly, that much money to refresh my spanish to a functional level and getting a roster of non-pro's to work with is worth it for me.

my problem is the cultural thing. once you get a freebie this way she probably won't let you out of her sight, or she's going to be muy pissed when she figures out you the type of guy that reads this board.

in my case, i had one hounding me in the weeks leading up to the trip, leaving two or three messages on my mobile, staking me out at the airport upon arrival, giving me the entire latin soap opera scene there in public, etc., etc. she was a tiger in bed, but she stuck to me harder than a taxi driver does to his horn in lima. this is terribly inconvenient when i've got a few others to see, and whatever comes along the way to boot.

what i could really use is a top ten do's and don'ts on how to manage these non-pro girls. i've seen a few excellent tips rep001tered around this board, but some senior member advice would be really welcomed. in the end, i wonder if i'm enough of a bastard for my return trip in mayo.

Excellent advice, thanks LB. I hadn't thought about the multiple chips. I really need to get in touch with my inner bastard, before I go on this trip. Nevertheless, if you see a guy wearing protective headgear (from all that frying pan action) in Miraflores in May, say 'hi'. It's me.

Changing the subject, I brought back a consignment of "maca peruana" (Lepidium meyenili) from Peru. It's touted as a libido enhancer. Peruvians make much of it. Any testimonials?

EVERYDAY!

I take the powder but most guys prefer the 500mg tablets. Don't need the "libido" effect but the increase in load is quite entertaining!

Dick:

There are a number of people on the Brazilian board who b*tch about GOL quite a lot. GOL are a second tier carrier so you should probably adjust your expectations accordingly. And at $99, I think that is a reasonable thing to have to do!

Suerte!

I used to take the tablets for about a little over a month. 6 per day, two per meal. I had to stop taking it, because it got me too horny. I'm not bullshitting...
