your age has very little to do with it. It is all about your mindset, your behaviour, your respect. There are some 10 out of 10 but like all cities the average is not 10 out of 10. every time I go there I always end up with a new girl friend or two or three. and a few old ones are always good to start the trip off with. lol. Its about your attitude and how you make them feel and you don't have to spend 1000s on them. Treat them like shit and you you will get it back 100 fold. yes 100 fold. not the standard 10 but 100 fold. I'm well past the 35 age bracket, and yes I can still pick up 20yo at the mall. lol. Just dont be a prick. Be firm, be kind, and make sure they understand what you are after and be respectful. I remember a guy in his 40s giving this 8/10 total shit. a real honey. after he had done his crap I just smiled at her, she was in tears and with 10 minutes she was sitting having a drink with me, and within 2 hours we where doing the horizontal dance .... lol ... I kept seeing her for weeks afterwards and she would bring friends along to join us. Cook for me, drive me places, look after me like a king. I never had to bar fine one work girl that trip. I did buy her things when we went out, but really not of much value. NO GOLD. When this covid thing finally goes away and we can return to a normal life, not sure when or what this will be, she will be there waiting for me. again it is all you. Your attitude!! Cost of living there depends on many things but mainly on you. I only go for a month or two each time, but I do think next time will be 3 or 4 months. Always a nice hotel. I just talk to the hotels and get a long term room. excellent way to go and always low season.
