Prepago vs Prostituta?
« on: December 09, 2011, 07:10:02 PM »
There's also a recognized difference between the terms "prepago" and "prostituta" in Colombia in my opinion, but I won't even go into that.

Oh no, Benjio... Please go into that. I bet that are many readers as curious about it as me.

(Yeah... I'm that busy on a Friday night.  :-\ )

   jajaj thats funny




ok, i'm an idiot, i'll bite jajajaja  :o


as my colombian friends explained it to me in medellin.


prostituta, a girl or woman who works downtown, either on the street, house or building and its is her only job. usually a lower class girl.


prepago, usually a younger girl, going to school or university,likes nice clothes, new phones, motos or cars, nice vacations ect who does it part time and is usually on a website or works for a pimp, boss or is independent.




both also seem to do it to support the family, many are single mothers.

What are you guys, nuts? Buy her a cellphone or give her hard cash? Plenty of nasty sluts around that'll give you what you want for free. Even more if you're willing to accept old, fat, and/or ugly. Hang on to them nickles - they'll buy you cold beer, ammo, and shiny rims back home.

I was just asking myself the same thing. I was taking a look at Craigslist ads and I saw a lot of guys looking for "mutually beneficial arrangements" where they would pay a girl's bills in exchange for weekly meetings or something.  :o

Actually, It is the preferred method of payment....I think the simplest way to describe the difference between a prostitute and a prepago is you are just paying for sex with a prostitute and with a prepago you are paying for a relationship.


 If you meet up with a guy and his prepago...she will seem just like any other girlfriend....and guys will usually introduce her as such...once I was a bit surprised when a friend of mine introduced his prepago as his wife when he was already married to someone else but most of these relationships last months and some even years.


In Colombia where you have the HAVES and the HAVE NOTS there are a thousand variations on the theme pay for play....these types of relationships are pervasive throughout Colombian society which is just another pit fall that the wife hunters have to look out for.

Guys,

If it quacks like a duck, looks like a duck and tastes like a duck, chances are its a f*cking DUCK!!

You are cracking me up with this PREPAGO bullshyt.

A prepago is a prostitute, stop with all the longwinded, contrived PC explanations.

Zulu,
 
Anyone could have predicted this response from you as it further derails your justification for using certain "unacceptable" terms by comparing them to different terms you assumed were equally derogatory in other countries. BG started this thread out of curiousity because she wanted to know why all prostitutes weren't simply called "prostitutas" in Colombia. I think CaliPro described the difference between the two best. I agree with you, pay for play is pay for play...no matter how you slice it. What's pertinent here is your understanding of why what you said is completely unacceptable in the Phils, and why the word prepago is contrarily completely acceptable in Colombia; an idea you've continued to have trouble grasping.

Of course it is prostitution....however, I thought we were talking about the cultural distinction made in Colombia between what is considered a  prostitute and prepago.

Even though most americans will not make a distinction between the two I think it might be beneficial for the average wife hunter to know that these kinds of relationships are very common and how they manifest themselves.

Prepagos do not advertise "pay for play" and don't sleep with guys they find repugnant....they are usually extremely good looking and thus have a lot more leverage in dictating the terms of a relationship. Unlike a prostitute they will often sleep with you without asking for anything upfront,,, because they probably even like you...but at some point they are going to hit you up with the "I need help with rent, tuition or buying something". However. unlike a real girlfriend they will walk when you don't give them what they ask for..... usually giving you the line "why should I spend my time with a guy that doesn't want to help me".

I can see a lot of wife hunters getting sucked into these types of relationships in Colombia without even knowing what is going on. 

That is why I have said many times before....you don't really know what type of relationship you have until you say "NO" and then see what her reaction is.....if she is really your girlfriend she'll still be there the next day

Benjio,

What are you talking about??? 

And, who is "Anyone"? 

Don't you mean "I" as in Benjio.  Speak for yourself.

I don't intend on using the "word" in the future on P-L out of respect for anyone on P-L who found it offensive.  I've moved on past that and I suggest that you do the same.

Obviously, my comments on this particular thread are relevant only to this particular thread. 

The observations and subsequent comments I made were directly addressing your (and mudds) first response dancing around and using every word possible to describe these women without calling them hookers.

So if you agree that a prepago is a prostitute, why didn't you just say that in the first place?

For your information, I not defending or justifying my choices of words by asking you a direct question on this post.   

My comments and questions on this thread were directly related to what you wrote on this thread.

I don't hint, I am very direct and to the point.

Therefore what do you call a divorce settlement?

This is cultural question about Colombia. Either you are interested to learn about Latin countries or you aren't.

The whole pregapo concept is widespread and has several implications and a traveller would be wise to know about them. For example I was warned by a friend that I will probably get the attention of "certain" girls and that I need to be careful because their drug running boyfriends may take exception.

As it happened, we were in a resturant one day and everyone there noticed me. Fortunately I was with a family because a certain girl with certain enchancements was looking at me. Then her boyfriend came back from the bathroom. She wasn't really the least bit interested in her boyfriend. However I was obviously with a family group and it was easy to pretend not to notice. Ironically this family I was with, pointed out to me her implants. When she got up to leave with her boy friend two guards and a brand new BMW suddenly appeared at the front door to take them away. My family group explained the implications to me.

Vman,

A divorce settlement is a legal division of assets acquired during a marriage. (Determined by a judge unfortunately)

A both parties are entitled to 50% in most states and of course there may be possible child support involved.  (I agree it has become an unfair and painful proposition for men in the US)

I don't see your point comparing a divorce settlement to paying someone for sex.

The two have nothing in common beside the fact that money is involved.

The idea of a kept woman is not new.

It's socially acceptable, albeit undercover, in most western societies.

In some countries they call them mistresses in the middle east and majority Muslim countries they call them "temporary wives", but it all pretty much adds up the same.

I am very clear that a prepago is the Latin American, specifically Colombian, version of the short term mistress or kept woman.   And I'm clear its a respectable word that even children can use, I get that.

But, I submit there is no real difference between a socially accepted "mistress" or street walking hooker.  One may be exclusive to the rich and famous, the other may be a hard worker on the streets, but they both sell sex.

Both are prostitutes.

I find it unfortunate that anyone would consider the money spent in a failed marriage to be relegated to a long term bout with a hooker.  I just can't agree that those two relationships, marriage and P4P, in most situations, have a lot in common.

Sham marriages do happen.  She may be in it for the Green card, and you may be in it to shag a hot tween foreign babe.  In that case your failed marriage may have just been a long term and very expensive "out call" session.

But, those would be the exception.

I think most marriages are intricate and meaningful. They involve deep emotions, the fusion of families and hopefully the raising of children.  In some cases sex may not even be a significant factor.

A relationship with a hooker is all about one thing, money. 

Got No Money? well.....no relationship, no sex.
