[QUOTE=MoonShot;2745965]It is funny that you mention that. When I was visiting Costa Rica, I would hear the guys complaining about the prices rising in Costa Rica due to the weekend millionaire guys from the East Coast, particularly Florida. So these guys started heading to Colombia. Now they are experiencing the same thing in Medellin but they may have been part of the problem too. More guys showing up in Medellin, same amount of girls, the prices tend to rise. Supply and demand.[/QUOTE]Largely a myth. Gals in Del Rey asked $100 12 years ago, and today they ask $100 or $120. They might have agreed to $70 dollars or even $60 back then, now they agree to $80 or $100. And their cost of living has doubled if not tripled in that time. In the late 90's and early 2000's a working girl in Costa Rica could get rich with a few dates a week. Today they barely survive with the same number of dates. And that is the main reason there are so many fewer in the business now. Costa Rica peaked in the 2000's as a sex paradise. It is actually cheaper now for a gringo as the dollar has gone from the 300 or less colones to the dollar, to 650 today. So what has happened there is not that the girls were spoiled by weekend millionaires. What has happened there is devalution of their currency and massive increases in cost of living. And only the older and desperate girls are still plying the trade in the old venues, for basically the same nominal amount they got 20 years ago.
