[QUOTE=Moore]You forgot to mention the "mosquitoes" at Black, Hunt99. One particular little chica (that did not attract me at all) kept coming over and shaking her ass in my face, which was marginally funny the first time, but rather annoying the tenth time. Like a mosquito buzzing in your ear.
I estimate there were 70? Chicas in Black that night, jam-packed in with more goofy just-off-the-plane gringos (hundreds? Than I knew existed in all of Argentina. Out of 70 chicas, I spotted one (1) that was OK, though silicon is always a big turnoff. I have an inflatable doll at home anyway. Other observations about the Black lineup - several "girls" into their 30s, a few apparently 40+, lots of aboriginies, and lots of plastic / makeup / bones. Most looked like rough streetwalker prostitutes wearing decent clothes. "Although the monkey is dressed in silk, it's still a monkey".
P30/ beer for the privilege of sitting (or standing) in the almighty Black. I didn't even approach a single girl and the overcrowding sucked. But a name is a name and Black is Black. It's right across the street from Alvear Hotel and taxis from all over the city receive commissions for bringing clueless gringo tourists there. Talk about a tourist trap.
Luckily I nabbed a seat at the bar after having to stand for a while. As Hunt99 said, it was a gawking scene – problem is I was sitting at the bar and the girls were on the other side of the narrow bar area gawking at me and the other customers, as if WE were on display! That's not the way it works – the girls should be at the bar / stage and I should sit at my table gawking at them. They shouldn't bother me and if I raise a finger they come to my table. That's they way it works in my boliches anyway.
There are so many boliches in this town with 15-20 girls and a relaxed, not crowded atmosphere where you can take a seat, drink some beers, and look at the girls sitting at the bar. Most importantly, 3 or 4 out of 20 are sometimes pretty / sexy instead of 1 in 70, and your evening has a "happy ending" (you bust a big nut on a hot chica or two) I had a happy ending later that night at Madonna.
I hadn't been to Black in over 2 years, no plans to return. I understand that that Thursday may have been an exceptionally crowded night, but by the same token I saw a huge sample of Black girls, which were nothing to write home about, as if I didn't already know that. Going there is like going to an "upscale" restaurant with a prestigious name and paying $30 for a stale Big Mac (served on a silver platter) when you can go to various "average" restaurants and pay $10 for a good fresh filet mignon and enjoy yourself while reviewing the menu.[/QUOTE]After discussing and comparing in person, I came to the conclusion that Moore's tastes vary widely from my own. "There is no accounting for taste." I simply don't agree with his judgment that so many of the girls in Black are ugly or old. He pronounced one girl whom I "know" from there quite well as being ugly and on the high side of 40. She's 28 and quite attractive. How do I know her age? First of all, I've done 40 year olds. She doesn't have a 40 year old's body. Secondly, she told me she's 23. Chicas always drop 5 years from their age, it is a fixed rule.
For my own part, I thought some of the girls Moore especially liked were not really my type. So, as in all things in life, [i]caveat monger[/i]. The dick you please must be your own.
Now for what he got right: Yes, it was as crowded as hell when we visited, a real turnoff. Yes, some flaquita came waltzing by about a half dozen times shaking her bony ass at us. Yes, I saw some chicks I would call ugly; certainly not a majority or a plurality. However, I see ugly chicks in every boliche. Drinks were actually 35, not 30. And Moore paid, so my real cost was ZERO!:) But IIRC they were 25 in Madonna, and are probably about the same no matter where you go, so there are no great discounts anywhere that's disreputable.
Anyway, my most recent visit here was not great, but then again, that's true of most places on any given night. A lot of the fun consists solely of checking out the scene. I do agree with Moore that Madonna is a good destination, depending of course on your tastes and preferences.
