Whats the story on going to bars and dealing with local girls? Any tips? I dont want to get in trouble?
They are all *****s. There are no pimps. This is the third world. Seek someone who knows the scene.
that's a very blank statement, unfair to a majority of lovely jamaican women who work hard to support their families!!Quote:

If I were you, I would be very careful about letting someone spend the night who you do not know. You might wake up with your possessions gone. This is not a tip only for Jamaica, but anywhere you are looking for a lady of the night. If you do find an enjoyable companion and decide to consummate the relationship... Your best option is probably to to give them money for a cab and have them leave before you go to sleep. This also eliminates that awkward moment the next morning, when you are all hungover and you look over and say "What have I done?!" I had a few of those in college. <--- Jackie, if you read this. you know i am reformed in my ways!
Well I must be lame, because I thought the original poster was merely asking if it was ok to flirt with and hang out with young Jamaican women he might meet on his vacation. I was thinking he wanted to know if that was cool or not to show his interest and respect to young Jamaican women. At least that is what I was hoping he asked....
I'm not so naive to be unaware that there are women in all of our counties, who because of economic need or childhood abuse, or drug use...end up selling their "company". But the women I meet in Jamaica are hardworking, warm and smart. I guess it depends what you're looking for.
My post is merely to point out, that what he is looking for and what he might find (or in a lot of cases, find him) might be two different things.Quote:

What kind of girls? Most bars have both girls and working girls, sometimes very hard to tell the difference, and sometimes not until its too late!
I have family in grange hill and they always tell me a way to identify the working girls is by their shoes or piercings. My cousin even went as far as to say, if she has on 4inch heels and can walk the beach with no problem...then you know.:rolleyes:
No offense meant...:)
Just say no!! Not much different than all the vendors you run into. Well, except they are a little more upfront when they approach you. Not a big deal. It's all about respect.
And this might happen even if you are with your wife/significant other. One time, I stepped away from the bar to use the bathroom and I came back to find that my wife had made a new lady friend.Quote:

this is a fair question,and deserves a straight answer. fact is, some jamaican women,are as aggressive, and charming as the men are. you will be approached, you will be smooth talked, you will be asked for money.drinks.cigs.phone credit. single or not. some women are out to have some fun, some women are out to make some money.they look good,they smell divine.what you pay for is your business.go with the flow.dont be afraid to buy a few drinks,and share a few laughs.Quote:

Mostly these are good girls doing the best they can. Some are looking for some dollars to carry home to feed pickney.....Some are hoping to find a way out of poverty
It is what it is........
"Judge not lest ye be judged"
Cap
For the OP......PM Gerryg123......Gerry you out there?
This is the statement I've a freaking problem with. I'm A JAMAICAN WOMAN AND I'M NO ***** don't lump us all in the same boat.

If your walking down da beach and girl says she like your big bamboo she is willing. When you hook-up take your lady to a cheap room (cliffs) not your home base. Like a taxi (lol) work out the price prior. Jamaica is the only place I know you can pay after you play lol.Quote:

Why am I not surprise you're asking this question

A local you just met at a bar is not your new best friend!) in their rooms, for whatever reason... and then at some point in their trip their stuff goes missing, and there's no sign of forced entry. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that it's a scam where they leave themselves (or an accomplice) access to your room through an unlocked window, door, etc... Or they stay the night, you wake up and they and your possessions are gone. I think that's why we read trip reports where it seems like info is left out... where the police aren't interested and don't want to take a report, and the resorts/hotels aren't helpful...
Remember, even though you're on vacation, you shouldn't let your guard down and do things in a 3rd world country that you wouldn't do at home.
I have met a few ladies in Negril. Some working some not. (you will know pretty quickly) I have had great conversations and laughs with both. I let the working girls know right away I am not interested, but still might buy them a drink or even something to eat now and then. You can make friends and have a good time without having to pay for a lady to spend some time with you. I have met many Jamaican woman who are not "Working Girls" . They are attractive, smart and mostly hard working.
