ANIMATORS : The Life of a Hotel Animator Rat !

Hello again,



Animators ! Oh yeah ... these sexy exotic-looking guys that you can find in pretty much every hotel across Tunisia, jumping, yelling, laughing, telling jokes, giving massages, dancing "BOOOMBAAAA" etc.. they're just practically ALL OVER THE PLACE .. They really attract your attention, they do !!

I'm 100% Sure that some of you have "Experiences" with Animators, if not most of you of course.


Today, I will be exposing Animator-Rats that are pretty much in every Hotel in the country and yes, I assume my responsibility when I say at least 99% of them are just professional Ripp-offs, Scammers and emotional black-mailers but again ! this doesn't mean that all animators are rats but most of them are lmfao

As I usual I will organize this thread according to bigger titles and topics, as I will be focusing first on Animators' terms/dictionary then I will talk about how a Rat Animator spends his day before I finish with Tips and tricks that Animators use aside of their "Job" in order to get money.

So let's go on with it !

LEARN HOW TO SPEAK ANIMATORS' LANGUAGE IN 2 MINUTES !


Animators have different sometimes more distinguishable terms and words they use to refer to certain elements and certain aspects of their jobs, once you're in a hotel with an animator's company, you'd automatically hear these words .. I'll just focus on the general terms, but next time I'll tackle the "Tunisian-Arabic" terms that indicate that you're dealing with a Rat.

1- " Arrivage "
You guessed right ! It means arrival, it's what they say every time they learn that new "potential victims" are arriving to the hotel.

2- "El Box"
It's just a wardrobe where you can find a lot of hair wigs, clothes, some cheap disguise clothes, make up, some beach toys yati yati yati etc...

3-"Contact"
This is a part of the job, Contact means the conversations they must have with tourists ( most importantly potential victims ) it's just when you're chilling on the beach and suddenly some weird over-tanned young man jumps on you trying to act funny and establish some conversation that's what they call "contact".

4- "Depart"
It's just when tourists are about to leave the hotel.

5- Accueil :
It's simply when they put a *DIY* "POSTER" about tonight's event or show and they just try as hard as they can to convince you that you must attend.

6- Boita
Simply the night-club.

Some of these terms, I admit, are less relevant such as Aqua Gym, "The Boomba" thing .. anyway, I will talk next time in depth about the most important and frequent terms and expressions that every Rat uses and explain them all.

HOW DOES A RAT-ANIMATOR SPEND HIS DAY ?


1- Animators usually get hotel rooms.
Since the Animator must be present around tourists from dawn till dusk and most likely after that too, they usually get empty hotel rooms offered by the hotel that is hiring them.

2- MORNINGS
When you're simply enjoying your holiday by the beach and trying as much as you can to spend some unforgettable times and good ones, The Animator becomes a part of your life .. especially when he smells that you're well-off or coming from a rich country etc...

3- THE ARRIVAGE
This is why I wanted to explain this word/term .. because it's significant ! As tourists, you may notice (or not) as soon as you're arriving to the hotel getting off the bus, some hotel animators would come to the lobby/reception to greet you and to introduce themselves as well.
You'd be like "owww how cute !" Well, not so much !
These moments are the most important and crucial moments of the predators (TLR) that's when they get to know you, where are you coming from, how do you look, whether you're alone or with a friend, etc... They would analyze everything about you during those few second/minutes.
Don't be surprised if some animator guy starts talking to you while you're filling the form and waiting for the key to your room, and in fact he might even want to know the number of your room as well.

FUN FACT: During that time, the Animators start "gossiping" and talking between themselves in order to share and cut the "Prizes" as each one will focus on one or two, sometimes more girls (usually) and inform his "colleagues" that they are his Preys so that nobody else would approach them except for him (approach them in a "special" way I must say).


4- The Swimming-pool and the beach:
That's where the Rat-Animator would spend most of the time, after you get the keys to your room, you'd want to chill a bit at the pool or the beach, that's when his works starts, he'd usually start having some minor small talks with you, this type is usually the type that already has a girl at the hotel and she's about to leave in a couple of days, so he'd keep it short and simple with you. But once that girl leaves the hotel, everything changes and escalates real quick !

5- Dj's :
Sometimes, Mr Deejay would want to share some of the fun, but of course ! he's just using Virtual DJ and pretty much underground pre-composed music or mainstream ones, and the problem is that he believes he's a true DJ (This brings tears to my eyes)

6- The Nightlife:
2 main or possible events would always take place, it's the "SHOW" it's just poor comedy, cheap taste of music, most of these shows exist in pretty much every hotel, The same thing! Some music for the kids and of course they'd try to come to you and make you join them on "Stage" That's so much fun Yay !
The NIGHT-CLUB as well, it usually opens after the night-show and it's also the perfect ground for the Rat-Animators to get close to you, make you drink and of course ask you to buy them drinks, then some of you know how this will end-up or where lol

7- Tomorrow morning:
And Tadaa ! you're in touch pretty much closely with a Rat because after the disco, the night show, after sharing a couple of conversations by the pool. danced a bit later at night .. you became "Friends" or "Close" and that's when the REAL WORK BEGINS .. ( asking for social media, paying attention, the famous developing of feelings etc...)

See? It would take them only one day maximum 2 to get their preys !

8- The Goodbye:
Remember our friend, the Animator that already has a girl in the hotel and acts slippery around you, but focusing only on the short talks, and small conversations .. now he's changed and he's becoming too close to you, just because the girl that he has just left the hotel back to her country, so now he's 100% Free to focus on the next one.

And yeah, It's as simple as that for them, once you leave ! they'd just keep in touch via social media to ask for money, visas, marriage .. while they're already preying on someone new that has just arrived in the last "Arrivage".

HOW DOES THE ANIMATOR MAKE REAL MONEY ?


1- The Animator job doesn't pay well .. PERIOD !
Animators, don't usually have good salaries, not only they work exclusively during the "Season" but also, they Eat, drink, and sleep for free at the hotel ..

2- Drinks and Smokes:
You'd already know by now, how do they get to smoke and drink during the day ! The Free Exclusive offers in Tunisian hotels and Tourists having that offer are usually the first Preys. You'd simply Share your drinks with them and they'd constantly ask for cigarettes especially when then make you think as if you've gotten familiar together.

3-Rolling eyes
Some animators, would try to take note of everything you have .. they'd compliment your jacket, watch, phone, sunglasses .. anything to make you give it to them before you leave..
And yes, I know what you're thinking .. It works and it's still working out for them until this moment because they'd analyze your personality before they ask for anything.

4-Not so good company:
Many Tourists would like to visit the city and get out of the hotel to walk, sightseeing, exploring place especially the "Medina".. and that's the perfect opportunity for the Rat-Animator to earn ( get ) some extra cash ! and This is very simple, they just express their desire to take you to the Medina (ex:_) and help you do your shopping for souvenirs etc...
They'd end up agreeing with a shop-owner that they already know and sometimes they really work together.. So, You'd end up buying a 40$ Chinese carpet for 100$ or even more, you'd also buy a 5$ Box of cigarettes that have an unknown origin with at least 20$ or more .. etc.. This way, of course the shop-owner or the seller has made some extra income, but also the Rat-Animator made some good cash as well.

PS : There's a new trend, some people use drugs and sometimes Animators would also offer their help to get some, they'd buy you a 5$ worth of drugs for 50$ and more and it seems according to my sources this has been working out for them like magic.


Just to conclude, I know there are some good Animators out there, and I've known some really good and honest ones that never had the intention of using anyone for any personal or financial gains, but you really need to watch out !! they may seem "Special" and you're on a holiday so f#ck it, let's just have some fun !! but that fun may cost you a lot.

I'll be talking more in depth about other tricks in the near future, and things that you really should do and do not as soon as you land in Tunisia or any other country.

This is so funny I can just imagine my ex rats brother in all these scenarios! He was always working lmbo:) while his American gf was paying (their) apartment rent again lmbo . I know that this is a close “holiday” resort for a lot of people close by but I’m so far away I would never dream of going there for vacation! Send me to Florida!

Animators ! Oh yeah ... these sexy exotic-looking guys
Personally, seeing pictures of Animators, I never found them sexy, but rather gross and douchy. I imagine it’s even worse when they start opening their mouth.
It’s nice to know that some animators are good guys who are not into Bezness. You said about 1% are honest. Poor guys, they must feel like the odd one out.
6- Boita
Simply the night-club.
Boita? Why do they call it that way? It’s “boîte”. If they want to use French words, at least, they should use them correctly. Another reason why I’d find them sounding so dumb if I heard them talk.
if some animator guy starts talking to you while you're filling the form
That would not be obnoxious...:rolleyes:
he might even want to know the number of your room as well.
They really have no boundaries, don’t they? I can’t imagine someone giving a perfect stranger their room number.

Thank you again for your post, Bensalem. It’s clear, well written, interesting and useful. It’s really sad that these fake and cunning little losers can cause so much harm and get money and gifts and sometimes a visa.

@Mancunian1975, you may want to ask your friend to read Bensalem’s post. I don’t know if the guy she met at the hotel is an animator, but it’s the same pattern for any hotel staffers. It could help her opening her eyes.

We all agree that they do look quite odd lol .. but that's why I used the word sexy, because not only I'm being sarcastic but I wanted to point to an implicit element there, because some people don't really look at how these guys look like or their appearances ... imagine someone who's just gotten out of a toxic probably hurtful relationship/marriage .. finds some guy providing attention, help (or what looks like it) etc... a lot of tourists have fallen for these guys, and believe me they don't really need you to tell them the number of your room because they're gonna get it and some of them will even roam the corridors to grasp the smallest opportunity to have a conversation.

Yeah Boita ... As you may know, the Tunisian language is a whole language, it's just not a silly broken dialect or version of Arabic .. it's 94% similar to Maltese language, Algerian and Moroccan. It's a whole mixture of different languages mainly Arabic, French and even Italian. So yeah, Boite is in French but Boita is in Tunisian lol.

And they really know no boundaries and have no self acknowledgment .. they get rejected over and over .. and they'd try again over and over again like nothing can affect them because they're just there to get money ! fool people ! play tricks and eventually disappear or leave the country.

Right these rats attack vulnerable people at times and their charming accent and lies can really work, I loved the way mine talked ..and true they have a hard time hearing no it does not phase them

And It takes time, but at least you've become quite immune to such things .. we should sometimes look at it from the bright side.
Yes it took time and several times going back and forth now he’s still in touch with me...can you ever escape?) but now I can stand up to him funny when they want money they go back to the I love you, you are in my heart 4ever I want to spend my life with you.. that worked for a minute but you do become immune to their crap and it doesn’t work any more. I pray for him but can’t help any longer he is history to me

Hello again,

I'm 100% Sure that some of you have "Experiences" with Animators, if not most of you of course.


Today, I will be exposing Animator-Rats that are pretty much in every Hotel in the country and yes, I assume my responsibility when I say at least 99% of them are just professional Ripp-offs, Scammers and emotional black-mailers but again ! this doesn't mean that all animators are rats but most of them are lmfao

As I usual I will organize this thread according to bigger titles and topics, as I will be focusing first on Animators' terms/dictionary then I will talk about how a Rat Animator spends his day before I finish with Tips and tricks that Animators use aside of their "Job" in order to get money.

So let's go on with it !

LEARN HOW TO SPEAK ANIMATORS' LANGUAGE IN 2 MINUTES !


Animators have different sometimes more distinguishable terms and words they use to refer to certain elements and certain aspects of their jobs, once you're in a hotel with an animator's company, you'd automatically hear these words .. I'll just focus on the general terms, but next time I'll tackle the "Tunisian-Arabic" terms that indicate that you're dealing with a Rat.

1- " Arrivage "
You guessed right ! It means arrival, it's what they say every time they learn that new "potential victims" are arriving to the hotel.

2- "El Box"
It's just a wardrobe where you can find a lot of hair wigs, clothes, some cheap disguise clothes, make up, some beach toys yati yati yati etc...

3-"Contact"
This is a part of the job, Contact means the conversations they must have with tourists ( most importantly potential victims ) it's just when you're chilling on the beach and suddenly some weird over-tanned young man jumps on you trying to act funny and establish some conversation that's what they call "contact".

4- "Depart"
It's just when tourists are about to leave the hotel.

5- Accueil :
It's simply when they put a *DIY* "POSTER" about tonight's event or show and they just try as hard as they can to convince you that you must attend.

6- Boita
Simply the night-club.

Some of these terms, I admit, are less relevant such as Aqua Gym, "The Boomba" thing .. anyway, I will talk next time in depth about the most important and frequent terms and expressions that every Rat uses and explain them all.

HOW DOES A RAT-ANIMATOR SPEND HIS DAY ?


1- Animators usually get hotel rooms.
Since the Animator must be present around tourists from dawn till dusk and most likely after that too, they usually get empty hotel rooms offered by the hotel that is hiring them.

2- MORNINGS
When you're simply enjoying your holiday by the beach and trying as much as you can to spend some unforgettable times and good ones, The Animator becomes a part of your life .. especially when he smells that you're well-off or coming from a rich country etc...

3- THE ARRIVAGE
This is why I wanted to explain this word/term .. because it's significant ! As tourists, you may notice (or not) as soon as you're arriving to the hotel getting off the bus, some hotel animators would come to the lobby/reception to greet you and to introduce themselves as well.
You'd be like "owww how cute !" Well, not so much !
These moments are the most important and crucial moments of the predators (TLR) that's when they get to know you, where are you coming from, how do you look, whether you're alone or with a friend, etc... They would analyze everything about you during those few second/minutes.
Don't be surprised if some animator guy starts talking to you while you're filling the form and waiting for the key to your room, and in fact he might even want to know the number of your room as well.

FUN FACT: During that time, the Animators start "gossiping" and talking between themselves in order to share and cut the "Prizes" as each one will focus on one or two, sometimes more girls (usually) and inform his "colleagues" that they are his Preys so that nobody else would approach them except for him (approach them in a "special" way I must say).


4- The Swimming-pool and the beach:
That's where the Rat-Animator would spend most of the time, after you get the keys to your room, you'd want to chill a bit at the pool or the beach, that's when his works starts, he'd usually start having some minor small talks with you, this type is usually the type that already has a girl at the hotel and she's about to leave in a couple of days, so he'd keep it short and simple with you. But once that girl leaves the hotel, everything changes and escalates real quick !

5- Dj's :
Sometimes, Mr Deejay would want to share some of the fun, but of course ! he's just using Virtual DJ and pretty much underground pre-composed music or mainstream ones, and the problem is that he believes he's a true DJ (This brings tears to my eyes)

6- The Nightlife:
2 main or possible events would always take place, it's the "SHOW" it's just poor comedy, cheap taste of music, most of these shows exist in pretty much every hotel, The same thing! Some music for the kids and of course they'd try to come to you and make you join them on "Stage" That's so much fun Yay !
The NIGHT-CLUB as well, it usually opens after the night-show and it's also the perfect ground for the Rat-Animators to get close to you, make you drink and of course ask you to buy them drinks, then some of you know how this will end-up or where lol

7- Tomorrow morning:
And Tadaa ! you're in touch pretty much closely with a Rat because after the disco, the night show, after sharing a couple of conversations by the pool. danced a bit later at night .. you became "Friends" or "Close" and that's when the REAL WORK BEGINS .. ( asking for social media, paying attention, the famous developing of feelings etc...)

See? It would take them only one day maximum 2 to get their preys !

8- The Goodbye:
Remember our friend, the Animator that already has a girl in the hotel and acts slippery around you, but focusing only on the short talks, and small conversations .. now he's changed and he's becoming too close to you, just because the girl that he has just left the hotel back to her country, so now he's 100% Free to focus on the next one.

And yeah, It's as simple as that for them, once you leave ! they'd just keep in touch via social media to ask for money, visas, marriage .. while they're already preying on someone new that has just arrived in the last "Arrivage".

HOW DOES THE ANIMATOR MAKE REAL MONEY ?


1- The Animator job doesn't pay well .. PERIOD !
Animators, don't usually have good salaries, not only they work exclusively during the "Season" but also, they Eat, drink, and sleep for free at the hotel ..

2- Drinks and Smokes:
You'd already know by now, how do they get to smoke and drink during the day ! The Free Exclusive offers in Tunisian hotels and Tourists having that offer are usually the first Preys. You'd simply Share your drinks with them and they'd constantly ask for cigarettes especially when then make you think as if you've gotten familiar together.

3-Rolling eyes
Some animators, would try to take note of everything you have .. they'd compliment your jacket, watch, phone, sunglasses .. anything to make you give it to them before you leave..
And yes, I know what you're thinking .. It works and it's still working out for them until this moment because they'd analyze your personality before they ask for anything.

4-Not so good company:
Many Tourists would like to visit the city and get out of the hotel to walk, sightseeing, exploring place especially the "Medina".. and that's the perfect opportunity for the Rat-Animator to earn ( get ) some extra cash ! and This is very simple, they just express their desire to take you to the Medina (ex:_) and help you do your shopping for souvenirs etc...
They'd end up agreeing with a shop-owner that they already know and sometimes they really work together.. So, You'd end up buying a 40$ Chinese carpet for 100$ or even more, you'd also buy a 5$ Box of cigarettes that have an unknown origin with at least 20$ or more .. etc.. This way, of course the shop-owner or the seller has made some extra income, but also the Rat-Animator made some good cash as well.

PS : There's a new trend, some people use drugs and sometimes Animators would also offer their help to get some, they'd buy you a 5$ worth of drugs for 50$ and more and it seems according to my sources this has been working out for them like magic.


Just to conclude, I know there are some good Animators out there, and I've known some really good and honest ones that never had the intention of using anyone for any personal or financial gains, but you really need to watch out !! they may seem "Special" and you're on a holiday so f#ck it, let's just have some fun !! but that fun may cost you a lot.

I'll be talking more in depth about other tricks in the near future, and things that you really should do and do not as soon as you land in Tunisia or any other country.
I’m not being judgmental ( just my view..) but anyone who has sex with a random hotel worker after a knowing them for a couple of days ( in whichever country ) can’t complain if they’re not respected afterwards. Unless the “victim “ is very immature , seems strange they’d believe a love story .. would you expect a British hotel worker you meet on a weeks holiday , to want to marry you ? Why would Tunisians be different ? Get real ladies

Right. I see your point but the thing with hotel rats is whether a tourist is going to have sex or not, she is not going to be respected. Her behavior and the way she responds to them doesn’t make any difference in the long run. The rats have a goal in mind and it’s always the same and they view all the single women who come vacationing from overseas the same way. Heck, they even try to hit on married women who are there with their husband.

So yes, it’s certainly not a smart decision to have sex with a stranger that we barely met, but with hotel rats, a woman can start a relationship where she is careful and reserved, or even strike a simple friendship that she views as genuine- no kissing, no sex etc and she’ll still be love bombed as soon as she gets back to her country. Even one who exchanged only one or two words with one of them will be a prey too. The guy just has to look for her on social medias. There is no respect involved for anyone anyway and even a woman who had sex with a guy the first night doesn’t deserve to be victimized later. She fell in love genuinely too and cared for the guy.

The real mistake is talking to them in the first place and responding to their attention. They need to be completely ignored, but when someone has never heard of Bezness, it’s something normal to do. We are polite, we want to show local people we appreciate them. These guys seem so nice, so friendly, they give you compliments. I can see how a single woman in vacation under the sun could get sucked into their charm and nice words. So yes ignoring them is the key but I understand that they are like glue and won’t leave women alone. That’s why I wouldn’t recommend my single girlfriends who want a vacation on the beach to go there. It’s not discrimination, it’s not being close-minded but I’ve heard so much about what’s going in Tunisian sea resorts that I would have to be honest with them and tell them what I know. I’d go visit Tunis with my Tunisian friends as chaperones, I’d love to see the Ancient Rome ruins in Carthage or in Bulla Regia and in other places, but going to a vacation and staying in a hotel by the beach with a group of girls is a no no for me.
It’s not fair for the country and it’s unfortunate because rats don’t represent Tunisia as a whole but fact is the beach resorts hotels are infected by these lowlifes and they ruin the reputation of their country. It’s sad.

You are a brave woman I'm afraid I couldn't stand it talking again to my rat ever again and listen to his fake stories.
@Butterflies PATIENCE is their motto, they never give up no matter what you do to them, they keep coming back for more of your insults which personality that’s what I give them, following you like a puppy dog... so that’s how I treat them, nothing more! Until eventually they realise they’re wasting their time... RESULT!!

You said it so beautiful @SouthernGirl I agree 100% with what you said. I love Tunisia and just like you said rats do NOT represent Tunisia but it can be uncomfortable and dangerous for single women or even female only groups to visit and it is such a shame. I only ever spent one night on my own in Tunisian hotel and it was far from relaxing. I was constantly nagged by Algerian man who would not leave me alone at the pool, or bar or at the show I ended up going back into my room and spending all evening in the room.

I Totally agree, even me personally .. I used to not believe these stories no matter from which side they're coming, The Predator or the Victim .. Until I saw it with my own eyes.

Normally, nobody would simply get to have sex with a random stranger, or someone they met just a couple of days ago .. it's just the way it is, until this whole thing changes in Hotels.
Remember, some girls just feel comfortable, some are just looking for rebounds to forget someone else .. some are emotionally going through something complicated etc... this kinda makes them an easy target for the Rat-Animator who would try as hard as he can to charm her, and trust me .. too many people find themselves in these situations, and they only realize it after getting played or taken for granted unfortunately.

Totally true ! but here's the thing, they'd always come back .. sometimes briefly, that's just to test the waters, and see if there's an entrance that they probably have missed .. people that have no honor, no self-worth ... it won't matter to them getting insults as long as it's worth the shot to try !

Hello again,



Animators ! Oh yeah ... these sexy exotic-looking guys that you can find in pretty much every hotel across Tunisia, jumping, yelling, laughing, telling jokes, giving massages, dancing "BOOOMBAAAA" etc.. they're just practically ALL OVER THE PLACE .. They really attract your attention, they do !!

I'm 100% Sure that some of you have "Experiences" with Animators, if not most of you of course.


Today, I will be exposing Animator-Rats that are pretty much in every Hotel in the country and yes, I assume my responsibility when I say at least 99% of them are just professional Ripp-offs, Scammers and emotional black-mailers but again ! this doesn't mean that all animators are rats but most of them are lmfao

As I usual I will organize this thread according to bigger titles and topics, as I will be focusing first on Animators' terms/dictionary then I will talk about how a Rat Animator spends his day before I finish with Tips and tricks that Animators use aside of their "Job" in order to get money.

So let's go on with it !

LEARN HOW TO SPEAK ANIMATORS' LANGUAGE IN 2 MINUTES !


Animators have different sometimes more distinguishable terms and words they use to refer to certain elements and certain aspects of their jobs, once you're in a hotel with an animator's company, you'd automatically hear these words .. I'll just focus on the general terms, but next time I'll tackle the "Tunisian-Arabic" terms that indicate that you're dealing with a Rat.

1- " Arrivage "
You guessed right ! It means arrival, it's what they say every time they learn that new "potential victims" are arriving to the hotel.

2- "El Box"
It's just a wardrobe where you can find a lot of hair wigs, clothes, some cheap disguise clothes, make up, some beach toys yati yati yati etc...

3-"Contact"
This is a part of the job, Contact means the conversations they must have with tourists ( most importantly potential victims ) it's just when you're chilling on the beach and suddenly some weird over-tanned young man jumps on you trying to act funny and establish some conversation that's what they call "contact".

4- "Depart"
It's just when tourists are about to leave the hotel.

5- Accueil :
It's simply when they put a *DIY* "POSTER" about tonight's event or show and they just try as hard as they can to convince you that you must attend.

6- Boita
Simply the night-club.

Some of these terms, I admit, are less relevant such as Aqua Gym, "The Boomba" thing .. anyway, I will talk next time in depth about the most important and frequent terms and expressions that every Rat uses and explain them all.

HOW DOES A RAT-ANIMATOR SPEND HIS DAY ?


1- Animators usually get hotel rooms.
Since the Animator must be present around tourists from dawn till dusk and most likely after that too, they usually get empty hotel rooms offered by the hotel that is hiring them.

2- MORNINGS
When you're simply enjoying your holiday by the beach and trying as much as you can to spend some unforgettable times and good ones, The Animator becomes a part of your life .. especially when he smells that you're well-off or coming from a rich country etc...

3- THE ARRIVAGE
This is why I wanted to explain this word/term .. because it's significant ! As tourists, you may notice (or not) as soon as you're arriving to the hotel getting off the bus, some hotel animators would come to the lobby/reception to greet you and to introduce themselves as well.
You'd be like "owww how cute !" Well, not so much !
These moments are the most important and crucial moments of the predators (TLR) that's when they get to know you, where are you coming from, how do you look, whether you're alone or with a friend, etc... They would analyze everything about you during those few second/minutes.
Don't be surprised if some animator guy starts talking to you while you're filling the form and waiting for the key to your room, and in fact he might even want to know the number of your room as well.

FUN FACT: During that time, the Animators start "gossiping" and talking between themselves in order to share and cut the "Prizes" as each one will focus on one or two, sometimes more girls (usually) and inform his "colleagues" that they are his Preys so that nobody else would approach them except for him (approach them in a "special" way I must say).


4- The Swimming-pool and the beach:
That's where the Rat-Animator would spend most of the time, after you get the keys to your room, you'd want to chill a bit at the pool or the beach, that's when his works starts, he'd usually start having some minor small talks with you, this type is usually the type that already has a girl at the hotel and she's about to leave in a couple of days, so he'd keep it short and simple with you. But once that girl leaves the hotel, everything changes and escalates real quick !

5- Dj's :
Sometimes, Mr Deejay would want to share some of the fun, but of course ! he's just using Virtual DJ and pretty much underground pre-composed music or mainstream ones, and the problem is that he believes he's a true DJ (This brings tears to my eyes)

6- The Nightlife:
2 main or possible events would always take place, it's the "SHOW" it's just poor comedy, cheap taste of music, most of these shows exist in pretty much every hotel, The same thing! Some music for the kids and of course they'd try to come to you and make you join them on "Stage" That's so much fun Yay !
The NIGHT-CLUB as well, it usually opens after the night-show and it's also the perfect ground for the Rat-Animators to get close to you, make you drink and of course ask you to buy them drinks, then some of you know how this will end-up or where lol

7- Tomorrow morning:
And Tadaa ! you're in touch pretty much closely with a Rat because after the disco, the night show, after sharing a couple of conversations by the pool. danced a bit later at night .. you became "Friends" or "Close" and that's when the REAL WORK BEGINS .. ( asking for social media, paying attention, the famous developing of feelings etc...)

See? It would take them only one day maximum 2 to get their preys !

8- The Goodbye:
Remember our friend, the Animator that already has a girl in the hotel and acts slippery around you, but focusing only on the short talks, and small conversations .. now he's changed and he's becoming too close to you, just because the girl that he has just left the hotel back to her country, so now he's 100% Free to focus on the next one.

And yeah, It's as simple as that for them, once you leave ! they'd just keep in touch via social media to ask for money, visas, marriage .. while they're already preying on someone new that has just arrived in the last "Arrivage".

You'd simply Share your drinks with them and they'd constantly ask for cigarettes especially when then make you think as if you've gotten familiar together.

3-Rolling eyes

And yes, I know what you're thinking .. It works and it's still working out for them until this moment because they'd analyze your personality before they ask for anything.

4-Not so good company:
Many Tourists would like to visit the city and get out of the hotel to walk, sightseeing, exploring place especially the "Medina".. and that's the perfect opportunity for the Rat-Animator to earn ( get ) some extra cash ! and This is very simple, they just express their desire to take you to the Medina (ex:_) and help you do your shopping for souvenirs etc...

I've been studying their behavior for years and years, I've also watched them "Working" and Observed them closely for years, I've also managed to study how does this develop too ! It's a whole lot of work, and I'm just sharing about 5% of what I know .. more to come, but I just need to be always based on Solid Proofs

Have you worked in the tourist industry before? It is good that you are warning us. We appreciate that. You must have had good contact with them since you know so much.

I haven't really worked in tourism since it's neither my field of expertise nor the base of my education, But I was born in one of major touristic cities of Tunisia, having a house in the middle of a touristic zone, being in touch with a lot of tourism workers, knowing a lot of hotel owners, going to a lot of hotels and pretty much listening to different stories while these rats talk.

That's how I get to gather information, and hey ! by the way, when they talk about how they're using people .. I do make a stand and let them know that it's just a dishonest way of life.. but they seem as if they take the piece of advice and then they shove it up their behinds.

They usually think that they're better than anyone and that they are professionals.

Maybe the only contact I've had in the past that can be called as working (barely) with Tourism is when I've designed some Logos for travel agencies and hotels, and made some videos promoting Tunisia for the ministry of Tourism and that's all.

But, I do have a lot of contacts and I'm quite well-known in the city so I get to hear about everything that happens, and get to have the opportunity to watch them Up-close "Working" you'd be laughing if you see how serious they take this Sh#t and how irresistible they think they are. .

I don't want to brag, but in certain cases, I actually come to the tourist and let her know " Hey, just watch out " nothing more, because maybe you know how blind people get to be when they're dealing with a Rat !

So yeah I can humbly say that I probably know more than touristic workers themselves.

Since you know so much about the bezness culture. Why not get the hotels to write a warning to tourists regarding love rats. Only travel agencies or hotels can warn but of course they will lose money and that is not good for Tunisia.

The problems lie with the authorities because they do not see the problem as long as they do nothing with the bezness culture then this problem will increase. The fact is everyone wants a piece of the pie and they do not care about the women or men who are being exploited. There is money and as long as they can get enough out until the women's wallet is empty then she is nothing anymore for either the country or the boys
