If I find a pair of girls, one attractive and one butt ugly, I would just focus on the attractive one and ignore the ugly's interruption. I don't want to pretend I am interested in her. Hopefully she's into so stupid and will take the hint to leave me alone with her friend.

Many times these duos are switch and bait scams. The attractive one acts as the bait, doing her ugly friend a favor to attract then switch guys to her ugly friend. As you know, women are extremely devious and shameless.

Many stupid, ugly, uneducated, skillless women still think they are worth a lot to men, and will try all tricks to manipulate men. In reality all they have are their loose, stinky pussies which are worthless LOL. I have seen guys try so hard to impress and romance crude, stupid, ugly women. These guys are weak, stupid and ridiculous.

Guys should not let ugly women play them like toys, used then discarded.

When you meet a civilian and she has the annoying ugly friend that is cock blocking you, how do you get rid of the friend in Mexico if your Spanish isn't great. I've been spending more time gaming regular girls and I met this real hottie who was into me but couldn't dump the friend. She was giving me nasty looks. It's hard enough in the states.

What has worked for me in other countries is you charm them both during the first meet, then the hottie is willing to meet you alone for a second meet. Yes, it takes longer and costs more, but can work if you don't have a buddy with you. Sometimes it takes 2 meets before she is comfortable meeting you without the friend. It's for her safety, just show her and her friend she's safe, and treat the friend well (to food and drinks).

The Wingman Technique usually involves (and is best preformed with only one) friend accompanying another to a club or other social setting. If one friend finds a hot girl who is accompanied by an ugly friend (I. E. Grenade), it is the sworn job and duty of the accompanying friend (the wingman) to occupy the ugly girl so his friend can get action with the hot girl. The revered duty and purpose of a wingman is to streamline the night for his friend as much as possible, tackling any obstacles and cockblocks.

Every time I park in San Ysidro I'm pissed at how expensive the parking is. I've tried a few. Border station, that one behind jack in the box, the one across the bridge. Every time I park overnight it's absurd. I think last time I paid 70 dollars overnight.

Anyone know any better (but still secure) lots? If not I'm thinking it's probably better to just park in a residential community outside SD and then Uber to the border. The Uber would cost far less.

My man you need to find a friend to distract her ugly friend so you can close the deal, a wingman. Heck I will go out with you, just buy me a few beers.

At the OXXO across from HK there is often a begger looking for a handout as he opens the door for you. I often give him some change etc. And totally respect his technique. We here in the USA have beggers on the center median's asking for money which I totally understand but really think the Mexican guys understand SERVICE. They perform a service to give something of value before they ask for money. In the USA it's just "give me some money".

Coming into Mexico, it's not as busy as a few months ago. The car parking lots are not full, there is no line to get through Immigration, and lady just looked at my passport and waved me through.

The frequently asked questions for Global Entry says this: "No, it is not necessary to obtain a Global Entry card to continue using Global Entry at airport kiosks. A card is only required for expedited entry at the SENTRI and NEXUS lanes coming into the United States. ".

So if I'm interpreting that correctly the officer who yelled at you was literally just following the stated rules.

In any case, I'm about to apply for Global Entry for the first time within the next couple of weeks so will see how the process goes.

Yeah it's pretty straightforward. When walking back across you need the GE card. As at dodgers69 said, the Border guys aren't a fun group to deal with. A lot of them are total dicks, but then I guess they put up with a lot of shit and that job can't be very fun. One good part about the GE card is they usually just ask one question and whisk you thru. Something like, where do you live or where are you going. I think they just want to hear you speak english.

It's a bit more than that, I would say. Last time I used GE at a major airport after coming back from overseas, I didn't even need to pull out my passport. The kiosk quickly ID'd me and I was able to walk through without issue. As where on foot, the GE card is needed just to bypass the gate to get into the building, otherwise, you'll have to wait with everyone else.

Thanks, ok I believe you guys. Now that I think about it, I haven't carried my GE card for years because it used to be useless when returning by air. So there was no need to bring it and I didn't want to lose it on a trip.

I'm trying to remember as my mind is always foggy and I've usually had more than a few drinks when I land, but maybe the last time all I did was the facial recognition. I know the kiosks are way faster now and we don't need to answer the questions.

On my trip next month I'll bring my card and test all this out.

One more thing on Global Entry. One time before COVID I went down to Tijuana and forgot my actual Global Entry card, I only had my passport. There was a small main line so like many times before I used the far right GE / Sentri line. When I got to the officer I told him I forgot my card but that GE is keyed to my passport. He told me I must have the card and told me to go back and wait in line. I started to argue that in airports I just use my passport and he cut me off and loudly and rudely yelled at me "This isn't an airport, go get in line! Those guys can be suck dicks!

So from my experience walking across the border at least at San Ysidro and flying into any US airport are the opposite. For walking over you need the card, don't even need to show passport to return. For flying back to the US, the card is useless, GE is tied to your passport which is used in the kiosk.

Yes you need the global entry card with you or don't go in tbr global entry sentri line. Usa border patrol is not mexixan border patrol. You can not crack jokes, act happy, you just banged six girls in 24 hrs, or had fun dancing drinking at pulgas. So your in good mood. Border patrol is never in good mood. All they know is ordering people where to go, to stop, and always on alert to be harmed themselves. Their only joy is staring at the halfway decent looking woman who cross by foot. If youvpay attention all them do it and they love to smile at them ask questions. For me they brush me thorough now since I got the card. Before that I had few incidents where the guy jumped from behind the counter "put your hands up" patting me down. When he felt my phone in a pocket and I said "I don't know what that is" he almost lost it. He wanted to find drugs so bad ibcould feel his desperation. . I got a million things in my acket pocket how the hell am I supposed to know on instant moments notice what he's touching.

When returning to air, land, sea entry in the US, Global Entry bearers have to have the card in their possession.

When you stand in front of a GE machine at airport, it reads RFID from the card in your wallet, take pictures of your face and use facial recognition to verify your ID and makes a GO or NO GO decision within 15 seconds. Compared that to 30-45 minutes wait inline with 450 passengers without GE returning in a B777.

I've had Global Entry since the program's inception, I'm on my 3rd renewal now and have used it well over 100 times flying back to the US in airports. It's unbelievably valuable for international travelers and yeah for crossing back from Mexico when the lines are long it's worth the price and hassle of getting even for that 1 time crossing back with long lines. Anyone making even semi-regular trips to Mexico should get one.

I also fly internationally a lot, and returning to a US airport is as you describe but I have never known the kiosk to read anything from the card. Global Entry is connected to the passport. I have always slid my actual passport into the passport reader, from there the facial recognition thing kicks in and the paper slips comes out, usually in 1-5 seconds never 15. I just did it a month ago. This is from the official web site FAQs:

Global Entry cards are not accepted at Global Entry kiosks, which require passports or USA Lawful permanent resident cards.

I am off to Thailand again next month and I'll try when I return but I don't think the card has any use when flying back; only the actual passport book. I actually don't even bring my card but next month I will just to test this.

Otherwise at airports it's as you describe we just veer off to the GE kiosks which rarely have a line and if they do I have never waited more than 2 or 3 minutes. Then after immigration and picking up bags, there is often a special customs line that again is never long, in fact usually just walk thru as GE holders just get waved thru. It expedites walking back from TIJ using Cross Border Express into San Diego also.

I know this is off topic, but for those who go to Southeast Asia a lot (Hello, Thailand and Philippines!) The APEC card is similar to GE except it works in Asian countries and can also be a life saver when airports get packed, as you can use all the Diplo lines. It's especially helpful in NAIA which always has super long lines earning its ranking as the worst airport in the world. APEC card is harder to get though, you need a business reason to get one. But once you get it, it's easy to renew.
