5 Glorious days and 5 days of hell...even in Negril!

No reason to get all upset.

ummmmmmmmmmm....

*maybe*(???) no need to get upset,
but i-TOO would have been P.O.-ed if somebody propositioned my wife

somtimes/MANY-times i get all hot & bothered,
when folks be defending those Negril-folks who be doing wrong wrong wrong
...defending directly or in a round-about way

dem WRONG WRONG WRONG [[full-stop]]

..and they KNOW they wrong

there's NO excuse for rude & bad behavior

it's sooooooooooo un-Jamaican

:-(

It's not like anyone grabbed her or followed her down the beach or anything. A woman made an offer of hair braiding, then aloe, then a man, from what was posted that was it. Her husband wasn't with her, she had to point him out in the water.

I personally wouldn't call that rude and wrong bad behavior. To me it deserves a no thanks, maybe a laugh, and that's that.

But like I said, that's just me.

[smith744]

was asked if she wanted some fun with a rasta, .

Markus

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm

so,

it has been determined,
that the female tourist market
wants rasta eh

interesting

*probably* explains why a lot of guys down-there i know,
started wearing dreads,
and dem not rasta either/neither

oh well
so it go

makes perfect sense to me
they come
fantasize-ing::>> want a rasta like Bob

yep

makes perfect sense

Walt & Mickey are dead & gone
so,
you get somebody to dress up like Mickey,
and the show goes on

yep
smart
brilliant
good-good bizne$$ strategy

[smith744]

But like I said, that's just me.

she was rude & mis-behaving

that's just ME..!!..

p.s... i KNEW & recognized from her facial expressions, body-language, etc etc, that she was jus' being nasty 'cause i wouldn't/didn't buy anyting

If that was the case I suppose I'd be annoyed too. Probably wouldn't make a big deal about it- why ruin MY day over such a thing - but I understand where you are coming from there.

I've been propositioned a few times and most often it is no big deal, an inquiry as to my interest in having male company. I decline (sometimes I even thank them for asking!), and that's that.

No one gets upset or insulted

I imagine most men who get propositioned by prostitutes in their home cities don't take it as an insult either...why would they? It's an offer like any other...unless it is offered in a mean spirited way as you describe.

I dont want to
have a gentlemen come up to just chit chat and me being friendly converse with him where he gets the wrong idea .. I also don't want to go down with this
jaded idea that every guy that approaches me is offering paid services lol or should I have this idea at all times ? This could be a very embarassing situation
for me .. and if I ever at any point feel insulted I'm really not one to bite my tongue.

Manda - rule of thumb - the 'jaded idea' that you mentioned - my advice is run with it.

I agree.....if I meet a man on the beach or surrounding area then he is guilty (of being a gigilo) until proven innocent! Just keep in mind that Jamaican men are very smooth talkers and if you are not careful they will have you believing you are the most beautiful woman in the world (and you may be ;-) and THEN BAM...buy me this, buy me that, I want to marry you (i.e. I need a visa) send me money, leave me your shoes, shirt, shorts, etc.

I love Negril, but those men on the beach are something else and please remember - they are NOT Rastafari...just men with locs!

Ohliz, sadly that was the case and she knew it. It didnt ruin my day maybe only 10 minutes of it, I'm over it...I have nothing against prostitution and In my city there is a designated place for it, ...we call it the "stroll" men and woman that are interested in paying for sex go there and pick out what they want.
I go to Negril beach so I can swim and tan and have fun with my friends and family.

Manda, when you are approached just be yourself...trust your gut instinct and feel your vibe, I know right away man or woman if we click, and you seem very intuitive so you will be fine. If someone is giving off a bad vibe, just say "mi good mon"

Your welcome Mr.Smith, the only thing that worries me is safety on the roads, and that's not to scare anyone..it's a fact, we in North America have the right of way as a pedestrians...that's not so in Jamaica, the cars have the right of way. So it's impeartive that new comers know this, Last week I saw a group f 4 probably mid 20's walking down the road and they were drinking and jokin around nudging each other onto the road as they were walking...it's just scary. I walk that road everyday, I'm more cautious and feel safer because I know the rules are different there.
