Whether you realize it or not, the women walking into an establishment or marketing themselves on the Internet are "top notch," and will not stoop as low to mess with a tico. Women are only in it for the money and may not receive as much from a tico.
Hmm... Many of the women marketing themselves to gringos despise gringos in many ways...and have tico husbands, boyfriends, brothers, and friends. They do it for the money for sure. They often feel like they are stooping low to deal with gringos...not ticos.
And a myth that ticos never pay as much...not necessarily true. There are high end ******* who charge lots more than $100... and never deal with gringos. There are massage type places that charge more...and deal exclusively (almost) with ticos.
They may tell you they don't like ticos...I've been told that. But at the same time the woman that wanted me to marry her was secretly still with her tico "ex"... and I suspect both of them were laughing at what a sucker I was. And the whole country applauds that sort of thing.
