Just chilling at a bar and I get approached to buy drinks and chat,will they demand money from me just for talking,ect...Do they run any kind of scams?

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.

I've been approached several times over the last 3 years.

Never had a problem but I speak and understand the language and culture.....If they even spend any time with me I talk like their grandad and either they leave or we chat...

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........

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.

They are all *****s. There are no pimps. This is the third world. Seek someone who knows the scene.

Wow what a thread. Well here's the Limo Mon"s advise, going to Negril as a single guy you will end up with a lady no doubt. Some will approach you (a lot if single) others you will find by chatting. 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.
Best tip is to find a male Ja friend at your resort and you"ll make friends tell 1 of them to take your to scrub- dub 1 night. Tell him you will pay him( 20 ) dollars to take you scrub-dub and he make sure you get back safe and you'll pay him when you make it back in the morning.

Why am I not surprise you're asking this question

If you meet any ladies, be very careful about bringing them back to your room. When I read of hotel room thefts, it seems that sometimes they admit to having had locals/strangers (yes, people you meet on vacation are strangers! 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.
