I know that, hence my "sand to the beach" comments earlier, but it doesn't apply to what I was discussing as an example. Of course you can do that in many instances, and most mongers generally would most of the time, but there's also instances in which you can't or where you don't want to. The...

No, you can't. Or at least you can't have them come back to the resort with you. Non-guests aren't permitted. You could, however, staying with the Dominican example, go to Punta Cana for example and find someone offsite with whom to indulge (if you know how. Fortunately I do) but then you need...

It's really not like that at all, or at least it shouldn't be. There's lots of examples of this but I'll give you one that's simple and relatable. You want to go to the Dominican for an all-inclusive week of fun and sun at a nice resort. The cost for a single person to go on a package trip is...

How was the movie?

lol. I've been continuously providing a lengthy list of tips throughout this thread. :)

There's so many ways in which this thread is going off the rails. I keep reading "couldn't, shouldn't, don't think, think, girlfriend" whatever and all it tells me is that most of the people replying on this thread have never done it before. It's also clear that many of the replies come from...

There's more than enough empirical evidence to support the hypothesis and the probabilities are extremely high. There's always an outlier who gets lucky of course. These are the people I ask to buy 6/49 tickets for me. :)

This depends on a lot things. In large part it depends on where you're traveling and the availability of company locally. There's no point in paying to take a stranger somewhere else when you could just as easily meet a stranger at your destination and spend time together without having to deal...

And there it is. It all works perfectly, most of the time, until it doesn't. You do the best you can with the information you have, but the system will break down again at some point. There's no real need to rationalize it, just as long as you recognize that that's what it will be like in the...

No, he wasn't really asking for juicy details. It was phrased pretty much just as I framed it above: "give me information. thanks" , as if it was a demand that he was entitled to, rather than a polite request. No preamble, not even a "hello", just "gimme".

Hey! I was "regular" bitching just 2 hours ago! You're not the boss of me! Mind your P's and Q's mister! :)

Missed opportunity to exchange numbers. :)

I was in a high rise today and in the elevator with a 40'ish woman (we were the only two people in it) and she ripped a fart. The she just looked over at me and grinned. Didn't look embarrassed and looked like she had absolutely zero fucks to give. I laughed with her and I think I may just have...

If you continue to pay deposits most people will be fine but some people will screw you. That's how it works, unless you limit your interactions to a very select group of people. You are guaranteed to lose deposits again in the future if you pay them to whoever asks for them. Maybe 90% of the...

I get a fair number of people writing to me and asking me questions about this, that and the other thing. I'm pretty laid back generally and will usually answer questions even if the asker is a lurker or has no or little posting history or whatever. I may not give as complete an answer as I...

I'm picky about the people I spend time socially so the whole concept of social dating in this context is a catch-22 for me, because whether I know people or not it doesn't work for me mentally. I'm very unlikely to want to take someone I don't know out in a social context and gamble on whether...

really? Where do people do street work now? I honestly didn't think there were any real strolls left.

Are there really any street workers left to see anymore? I was under the impression that aside from maybe a handful of drug addicts around Moreau that the street scene had entirely disappeared. Is that wrong? I thought that almost everyone aside from a few outliers were seeing indies or agency...

I don't normally recommend bringing sand to the beach (in this case literally) but for trips to Santa Marta it's actually not a bad idea. You wouldn't do it from Medellin, of course, but from Cartagena or Barranquilla it's not a terrible option. The Colombian girls typically only work once a...

If we're taking MERB threads as anecdotal evidence I think (if I remember correctly) almost everyone in that "when did you start as a hobbyist and what were your experiences" thread (title might not be exactly right) said they started in their 20's
